Sorry. The voice recognition is capricious.0

How the hell Tex doesn't get in that starting line up is well criminal.
Hope I'm wrong but I can see us given a bit of a spanking with that team.0 -
Certainly strange. Even more so because with fox out of this system doesn't work we may want to put Chicksen in midfield and he could cover LB. Whereas Johnson doesn't add anything.killerandflash said:No Lennon on the bench, is he injured or is he 6th choice CB at the moment?

No idea how this will go. First time in over 40 years i have never seen any of our starting 11 play.1

Given that they have said players are ill I assume Lennon was one of them along with Lookman, Fox and Bauer as confirmed by Robinson.cantersaddick said:

Just seen this comment put on Twitter from someone called John Howard, any idea what its about? -:
@Redmidland @KillersBeard @CAFCPlayerHD iNSULTING TEAM HYPROCITES GET OUT ALSO1 -
Was it just me, or did Robinson drop in a comment about Fox having "personal issues" to sort out as well as being ill?Henry Irving said:

I don't think he fancies Lennon. He was sitting behind me at the cup game and isn't injured.1 -

update on that tweet, I asked him what he meant and his answer was-:
@Redmidland @KillersBeard @CAFCPlayerHD Ask the insulting team0 -
@LouisMend has learnt from his mistakes and is being patient.Redmidland said:Looks to me as though he has a much better relationship with the press as well, well at least with Louis anyway!!

What have Bauer and Pearce done to be dropped though?Hartleypete said:How the hell Tex doesn't get in that starting line up is well criminal.

KR seemed to protest too much about Pearce and Bauer in the middle, to me
Context: Tex is not selected
-
Exciting team, tho. Hope it works0 -
Didn't he say that Fox had been ever present?Clem_Snide said:

Okay, I've watched Robbo's pre-match interview where he says we're going to play narrow, with a high line.Dazzler21 said:So we're going
Phillips
Konsa Bauer Pearce Chicksen
Botaka Crofts Ulvestad Ajose
Magennis Novak
Should be interesting...
In Konsa and Chicksen he's got 2 mobile and quick footed fullbacks giving us pace at the back but who are also surely going to be told to get forward, with Crofty sitting.
That'll give us width.
With 3 in CM, maybe Botaka gets a bit of a free role, with little defensive responsibilities - he'll be the wild card player free to roam and unpick their defence?
The front 3 to play close together.
Okay, given numbers missing through injury an illness, that's a positive enterprising line up.
Fullbacks look a bit vulnerable to overloading though.

He was far better at right back than Konsa last week, that's where I'd have him.EveshamAddick said:

It's worth noting that with a very similar squad against Swindon, Slade went 4-4-2 diamond with Foley, Jackson, Freddie, and Crofts in midfield and we were woeful.
I'm not entirely convinced the 4-2-2-2/4-2-1-3 will work, but I really, really like that Robinson actually has systems and that he wants his teams to be able to switch in-game. He is light-years ahead of Slade tactically.
For those questioning him talking about tactics before the game, at this point there's only so much the opposition can do. I highly doubt Bradford worked on defending against three forwards and Botaka during the week.2 -

Like you say Bradford will have worked on their system and how we'll likely play all week... to throw those plans out the window and change everything an hour before a game would be almost criminal and would be attempted suicide from McCall.SDAddick said:For those questioning him talking about tactics before the game, at this point there's only so much the opposition can do.

Bradford are the home side so if I was a Bradford fan waiting for the game right now Id be expecting Charlton to be the ones to adapt their tactics to how Bradford play and not to be dictated to by the away side0 -
Just got home, heading to bantams player.0
