Agree with this at first but I wonder if the fact that it's not the league will help the regulars relax. It might help them to get a much needed win in readiness for Forest.

Nice sentiment but we desperately need new blood - we can't afford anyone and more loanies are not the answer. There's something quite ironic that when Palace were in trouble last season Warnock played their kids but our management seem intent on protecting ours.
If I'm not mistaken Hudson and Youga are both one yellow card away from being suspended and Crainie is due to go back to Portsmouth so we aren't exactly blessed with a long list of available centre backs are we? Even more reason to give someone from the U19s a chance.
[cite]Posted By: Addick Addict[/cite].......to play a couple of the kids and those who haven't been given a proper chance yet. So please step up Messrs Shelvey, Wright and Dickson.
[cite]Posted By: Oggy Red[/cite]But on Saturday v Norwich, do you really all want to see a complete Charlton reserve team?
I didn't say a complete reserve team Oggy. The aforementioned three would be a start. What a lift it would be if those true Charlton boys had blinders - for the players, the management and most importantly, at this time of strife, the fans.

I'm sure Shelvey will start anyway, perhaps with Old Father Holland beside him as minder.
I'd play Moo2 & Youga at full back too.
We can have 7 subs - so Wright & Co can add to the bench. And Dicko will be in the stands.
Shame. He's made for this sort of game.
[cite]Posted By: Covered End[/cite]We need to pick a team to win the game, nothing else matters. One win might just give the team some confidence back.
Well the team picked for our record breaking run of 16 games without the likes of Shelvey and Dickson hasn't worked has it?

Forgot about the 7 subs thing, even more reason to put some youngsters in.
I don't want a complete reserve team, but I do want Elliot, Shelvey, Wright, Dickson and Moutaouakil/Solly to start.
Dont think thats a great idea. Probably be better to all go and get behind them. If they do play some youngsters i'm sure they'll appreciate the support

On the other hand if the glass half-empty brigade want to stay away then fine. This is a time when for better or worse we need to get behind the club and perhaps give Parky a clean slate. We don't need booing and negativity at this game.
True BFR i will be there and certainly wont be booing. A new year with new hope. And hopefully a young nephew of mine will get on and score a couple and we have a good win. Well i did say new hope !!!
Uncle, nothing wrong with a bit of optimism mate, makes a nice change after all the recent doom and gloom. So do you have any inside info as to whether that's likely?
Hmm, I wonder what odds you can get on Jonjo scoring first or last goal on Saturday.

Come on Parky - you know it makes sense.
How many automatic 1st X1 picks do we have Oggy? ZZ if fit, Fortune, Hudson by default and that is about it.
Why not take the opportunity to experiment?

To win is what we need. Beautiful, ugly, deserved or scraped. Just a win.
Nothing else matters, agreed.

Bailey is a big enough loss for Forest without any more.
Or even Chris Dickson
