Suggests Kayal isnt injured. Lets hope he is available.0 -
“We have no-one to be on the bench – we don’t have a midfielder on the bench if we play those three I mentioned. We’ve recalled Albie to be in and around it, just as back up really."
It's a little strange that Bowyer has gone from playing Albie in a play off semi to barely considering him an option for the bench.4 -
"There are not many to choose from in midfield – three. The ones available are Conor Gallagher, Josh Cullen and Erhun Oztumer."
This is the quote that is causing confusion about Kayal.
Hoping Bow is simply playing mind games and he will play as will Taylor but lets see.0 -
Surely the international break would have been a chance to get people fit with a bit of luck - managers always say it’s a chance to recharge the batteries.
We have come out worse!1 -
Is it just bad luck we seem to have more injuries than average over the last few years or so?0
-
What actually is wrong with Amos? He's been out for a month now, and I don't recall seeing an explanation?
The issues for Hemed and Aneke are a bit "Lewis Pageish" too. Minor issues yet another 2 weeks down the line, they're still out1 -
@Sage has already suggested that the financial resources for medical and fitness have not been increased since last year, so we are currently trying to run a Championship squad with League One money. Which is bound to have some effect.cafcsinger said:Is it just bad luck we seem to have more injuries than average over the last few years or so?
I would also suspect (but don't have the evidence) that Duchatelet has never understood the importance of this area and has probably been cutting the budget since he took over. I always half-expected he would open a Network Fitness Centre in Liege which they'd all have to use :-)
But on the other hand, we don't really know what the injury situation is at other clubs, unless something about our opponents' situation is so bad that it hits the news. We just look at our own situation and think it's a disaster. I recall thinking that first half of last season we were getting off lightly on the injury front.2 -
Amos has a hand/finger injury sustained in training. Might seem silly but as a goal keeper, he has to get that injury right before starting again.killerandflash said:What actually is wrong with Amos? He's been out for a month now, and I don't recall seeing an explanation?

Kayal only got back this morning so I would assume that Bow hasn’t mentioned him due to not seeing and assessing him yet. Fully expect him to in the squad on Saturday.3

Believe we had hoped that Hemed, Aneke, Lapslie, and Forster-Caskey would be closer than they are. I think it might be just about getting through this weekend and hoping we are in a better position next weekend against Sheffield Wednesday.
Hemed has been in the gym for a while, Aneke seems to break down very easily, Lapslie has had a couple of set backs on his hamstring as soon as he has got back fit, and Forster-Caskey we have to be more careful with.
As far as I know, Field is at West Brom getting most of his treatment. Williams is not until nearer the new year, about another 4-6 weeks yet. Page is a mystery to me right now.2 -

Thanks, for a keeper that's clearly important. Maybe Amos can play in midfield instead!Sage said:

I also don’t believe the injury situation is as horrific as Bow is making out. I do think there is a slight bit of mind games being played. But the situation we have is still really bad, nonetheless.3

Yes! His height and physicality may be needed against Cardiff on Saturday. Play him in the Pratley role.killerandflash said:

Though I rate Amos as a goal scoring midfielder I'd stick Oshilaja in the Pratley role.

I'd leave Oshilaja on the benchDazzler21 said:Though I rate Amos as a goal scoring midfielder I'd stick Oshilaja in the Pratley role.
Would be just our luck to lose two Centre-Backs as they both challenge for the same ball or something
Then who do you put into the Defence0 -

If he is, needs to do a bit more to show his worth. Started off brightly against Preston before disappearing, was woeful against Millwall apart from a decent tackle when he came on. Needs to show he can handle it physically imocantersaddick said:https://twitter.com/CAFCofficial/status/1197467242633551873

I guess Kayal just needs a run of games.
Most players do to hit form.2 -
That and the fact that he's a preening lightweight as much suited to a battle with Cardiff as I am to going up against Callum Smith for his title.Sage said:Kayal only got back this morning so I would assume that Bow hasn’t mentioned him due to not seeing and assessing him yet.

Called it!cantersaddick said:From the above I think we will see something along the lines of
Phillips
Matthews Lockyer Pearce Sarr Purrington
Cullen
Gallagher Ozzy
Bonne Leko
AMB Solly Oshilaja Morgan Kayal? Taylor? Davison
As much as I want a change after the Millwall game I think we have to go 5 at the back as this is the area we actually have strength. Morgan on the bench just so that we have a midfield option. Hopefully Kayal and Taylor to appear on the bench. Midfield looks horribly light and think we will have to rely on hitting them on the break.
The alternative would be to play a back 4 with Oshiaja in midfield and have him dropping into the back line. Never seem him do that role so not confident he will manage it.0 -

Charlton boss Lee Bowyer is hoping that Lyle Taylor, Jonny Williams and Chuks Aneke could be back for the Middlesbrough game on December 7.

He's not the only one !0 -
Page nearly fit as well!!!
Could play a major part in half a game over Xmas.16 -
Just over a week ago (16th), I was told 4-6 weeks more, the 6 was because of Jonny’s injury history, but even so 4 weeks from when I was told is Hull City at home at the earliest really.
So therefore, I’m surprised about Jonny potentially being ready for Middlesbrough, but we shall see.
Let’s just get through this week including Sheffield Wednesday and see where we are and how long until others are back. I don’t think it can be too much longer.5 -
Yeah the Christmas evening game of Trivial Pursuit until he chips a finger nail picking up a question card and is out until the summer.Redrobo said:Page nearly fit as well!!!

There is nothing worse than a fractured eyelash.2
