Solly and Waggy to have a massive clash on the pitch, with Waggy screaming at Solly that he hates him and wishes he'd never gone to his testimonial evening
Have found out some interesting stats this evening...
Wimbledon have lost each of their last 6 away games and only have 3 points in their last 8 away games.
Wimbledon also have the worst first half record in the league and scoring only 6 first half goals.
Whereas, we have won 13 points from our last 6 home games and 17 from our last 8 home games, only losing once.
We also have the best first half record in the division, scoring the most as well within the first 45 minutes. It is our second half form that is letting us down. In fact, if matches only lasted 45 minutes, we would be top of the league, joint with Portsmouth, and only Luton would drop out of the top 6 being in 7th. It is Luton's outstanding second half form that brings them into the top two at the moment. Further to this, an area of improvement is clearly when we are leading at HT we really need to learn to go on and win the game, the teams around us in the league are able to go on and win each time they have been winning at HT, most having a 100% record of this. We also have lost each time we are behind at HT. Goodness me, this all points to us being quite poor in the second half.
Therefore, a bet of Charlton to be winning at half time and full time is showing to be very likely. And it only exhibits the importance for us to get off to a good start.
After Tuesday this has banana skin written all over it. Hopefully we now have a new Charlton under Bowyer. That's all I'm saying.
Blackpool had the same feeling after resting players for the FA Cup.
I think injuries and Tuesday night will have taken their toll. We've struggled to break teams down this year and over the last couple years AFCW have been one of the best at defending deep and not giving us a sniff. I feel an early goal sways the tie, but I'm thinking a draw.
Just see who the ref is !! With him in charge & CAFC to make their usual slip up against one of the bottom four I can only see one result....
1-2. Pigott to get the winner.
Never change Golfie!
I've just looked back at some of your predictions in the previews this season, and i can't see you've predicted us to win a single game all season. If the results you predicted came true, we'd have about 6 points.
Plymouth 3 wins on the trot, 4 unbeaten.......we're on a roll & meeting the league's bottom side, at home, at they've not won a game all season. What can go wrong. 0-1. This is Charlton. We don't normal.
Wycombe A game we should & need to win if serious about a top 6 place. We won't of course. 1-1
Bristol rovers Can't see where the goals are going to come from & we have no-one who can hold the ball up & make it stick with Taylor being out. 1-2.
Walsall well, it certainly wont be the 4-2 beating we gave them in 2000. 2-0 loss.
Barnsley can't see anything but a Barnsley win. 1-3
Luton Not seen us win there on 3 occasions. They've not lost at home & we are due a defeat. And I see the ref is Mr Coggins the scrapheap bloke who owned that car that can now fly..... 2-1 defeat.
Portsmouth Even Teresa May knows when to admit it defeat.....shame we can't postpone this game too. 3-0........and the slide is on.

I don't know what's worse. His predictions or you going through his previous posts?

If Taylor and Grant (arn't they Port / Sherry makers incidentally?) are injured, isnt it finally time for the bold experiment that is Naby Sarr up front!!
1-0 Charlton. Could be a tough game with an injury hit team but hopefully we can grind out another result as Downes will be setting up to physically out do us.
If the noises are that Taylor will be playing, my guess is he probably won't. Bowyer is not a manager who likes to give clues to opposing managers.
Lee said Taylor wouldn't play when he had the stomach muscle injury yet he started So I would expect Lyle to be on the bench and only brought on if the game isn't going our way. I always felt that Fosu and Ajose would need to find form for us to have any chance of a top 6 finish. Injuries are mandatory for Cafc due to the curse of the Douchebag. All the positive thinking in the world can't overcome getting a myriad of pulls, strains and dislocated shoulders.
I have no idea of the score today as I'm not privy to the starting 11. I know that Bowyer likes fishing and red herrings.

Solly | Bauer | Pearce | Sarr
Lapslie | Bielik | Aribo
Fosu | Ajose | Marshall
Be better than going for the usual formation with Hackett-Fairchild in Taylor's place
Edit; revert to type with the Nabster up top
