The Addicks, who won League One haven’t played in the second tier for three years and will be looking to make an immediate impression on their return.

An impressive start

Pre Season 2012 sponsored by August Windows & Doors

The first match of Lee Clark’s reign pointed to what could be a very good year for Blues when they played Borussia Mðnchengladbach yesterday. Whilst the draw might have flattered Blues considering the amount of spurned Gladbach chances, the performance was one of a good quality for the first game back after the summer break and showed signs of promise.

One player who has made a matchday 18 but hasn’t yet appeared on the pitch is American teenager Will Packwood.
