This has gone too far. That's more or less a full reserve side. LB should realise that no matter what he might think, the FA Cup, and the prospect of a glamorous tie in the 3rd round IS still very important to the fans.
Made the call 2 days ago to not bother going today,tbh,the only reason was that i saw us play Donny in the league a few weeks ago but now ive seen that line up im even more relieved. Good luck to the boys today,think they'll need it!
Lee Bowyer’s Charlton are again expected to play their preferred diamond formation. Dillon Phillips starts in goal with an expected defence of Mark Marshall, Anfernee Dijksteel, Sarr and Toby Stevenson. Lapslie will likely play as the holding midfielder with Taylor Maloney and Ben Reeves ahead of him. Clarke is expected to play behind Ajose and Reeco Hackett-Fairchild.
We’re no different to most clubs from mid league one to top of the PL in that no one gives a f@#k about the FA Cup anymore. Even if we win and draw a PL team we’ll end up playing their U21’s. There’s no magic in football at the moment.
Lee Bowyer knows he is judged on League results. Anyone turning up today expecting a stronger team are totally deluded. Doncaster away is my nap today.
Charlton players to a man struggle with fitness ? It's a shame but we need a positive result on Tuesday.

That's an awful team, are Clarke and Reeves able to play 90 minutes? If not that's 2 subs from a weak bench already used.
Doesn't Fosu need minutes, or his he injured aswell? I get resting Solly and Ward, 1 of Grant or Taylor should be playing, with the other on the bench.
That's the sort of team you expect for the checkatrade not the FA Cup. Taylor must the the only player in history to score an fa Cup hatrick then left out the next game.

I guess?
Colour me BLOODY ANGRY.
And who knows, maybe one or the other will surprise us
One of two systems today:
Marshall Dijksteel Sarr Stevenson
Lapslie
Reeves Maloney
Clarke
Ajose Hackett-Fairchild
Or
Phillips
Dijksteel Sarr Stevenson
Marshall Lapslie Maloney Reeves
Clarke
Ajose Hackett-Fairchild
Lose either way, Doncaster have gone into my bet.

I get the logic, play the reserves to scrape a draw so you then have to play the 1st team to win the replay-d’oh!

I see this as a good chance to get various players minutes and also to rest the first team ahead of some crunch fixtures
hope we win, and I reckon we still have a good chance
That starting lineup should be motivated

No reason to regret it looking at that team it would appear.
Doncaster away is my nap today.

He could have put out a reasonably strong line-up whilst still resting much of the first team but has choosen not to.
Would serve the club right if Doncaster go on to win and get Man Utd in the next round.
If you were thinking of going, just turn round and go home.

They are playing 9 players who started on Tuesday and the other 2 both came off the bench.
We are playing 2 players who started on Tuesday and 2 who came off the bench(1 for 10 minutes and 1 for 1 minute)
