    I'm perfectly calm mate...
    Well I’m not!
    Chill Arsene...we'll be fine...🙏

    Hard to know what to make of the recent tinkering with the midfield 3.  Coventry for me (bar fatigue), should be the first name on the team sheet of those 3.

    I know NJ likes Anderson and I’m not anti him, but I get the feeling he often gets the nod as he’s probably one of the most subservient members of the squad in terms of following every word NJ says.  

    That’s not a bad thing, but sometimes on the pitch the player has a better sense of the game around him and won’t follow a manager’s instructions word for word.  

    Big game for Chambers, I hope the rest of the back 5 and the keeper offer plenty of encouragement and support

    TC off Dykes isn’t too bad imo, but TC has to show he can work the ball when he gets it.  This isn’t a game where he’s going to see lots of it.  He wants to prove he can do well at this level, exactly the sort of game to show it

    Two very different teams compared to the match at the Valley earlier in the season
    Those who start today, were also involved in the game back in September
    Not sure I agree with the BBC's thoughts on Chambers as our holding Midfielder though

    This afternoon has a Doughty winner written all over it.
    Great stuff, I love an own goal.

    Injuries aside, it's mad how we've gone from a pretty settled line up earlier in the season to anyone's guess now.

    Apparently, neither of the Valley Express coaches have turned up. Does anybody know anything?
  • Starting Anderson over Cov is madness

    Probably doing them a favour after they found out the starting lineup

    I don't get Jones, if there was ever a game to park the bus for us then this is it tbh, I expected Coventry in there and 2 big lumps up top again

    Also, the way Campbell plays wide left even when as a striker will do us no favours, as Dykes will be flicking the ball on or heading it down to absolutely no-one, he needs a striker alongside him that plays on the shoulder of the last man
    Absolutely, it's just so fucking obvious. Dykes isn't going to score a hatful of goals, his game is more of a target man to bring others into play.

    If they've followed the route they took, when I caught the Valley Away for the 4-0 loss, they'll go across Blackheath and traffic on Google Maps down to Deptford Bridge looks rather busy, so hopefully its nothing more than that

  • Heroes will become legends today. Not being a hero in this match is a shit career move. No pressure lads 😉

    I quite like the look of that midfield, personally id have Coventry in it but the fact Campbell will be dropping deep and adding an extra body in there.

    I'm not convinced by that midfield at all
    I’m even less convinced by the attack .  
    Agreed very weak.

    The only positive I can find is that we have an actual LB on the pitch for the first time in god knows how long.

    Emakhu on the bench for them is also surprising. Thought he was by far their best player in the reverse fixture and tore Ramsay apart. 
    I agree problem is he hasn't played a competitive game since last March.

    Passengers took a vote and decided Bluewater was a better option?

    Just on travel on radio, New Cross Road blocked by an accident, so suspect it's that.

    We will win. We will go forward. We will attack attack attack. Run them ragged. Then bring 5 nutters on from the bench to finish them off. 

    Honest.  You heard it here first.

    Hope the fans there get behind the team in any event, like the Sheff Utd fans did last week. This will be a tough game.

    Yeah its up
  • That's TC back up top right? 

    We've missed that so badly to help us get out and up the pitch. We are gonna need that today.

    Line-up choices are feeling pretty random lately.
