Just looked up the ref. Very young and mainly Div2 and below.
We need to take a leaf out of Plymouth’s style and make sure tackles against us result in a cry of pain and at a couple of rolls.
Already taken charge of the Charlton games @ home to Fleetwood and away @ Luton early in the season - Gave 12-Yellow Cards with five being issued to Charlton players over the course of those two matches
Dont know if LL's stats go back that far for the Referee?
Fleetwood away was the first game where we marked the ref and he achieved 6.16 with 5.83 at Luton
Igor to score a Reza vs leeds style peach in the last 5
I'd settle for one half as good as that goal. Having given him stick first half for a lacklustre performance I was positioned right behind that shot and dumbstruck when he hit it; goal written all over it when it left his boot. Think that was the night when Hamer also pulled of a worldy save in the dying minutes to give us a crucial three points. COYRs
Was a penalty from Ross McCormack that Hamer saved wasnt it?
I predicted a reshuffle and 'resting' players before the Pilgrims game .. wrong .. I predict a reshuffle and 'resting' players before the Chairboys game .. Bowyer needs to assess the priorities surrounding this game, the Luton game and the unlikely prospect of auto promotion if we win the next and last six games .. Wycombe are fighting to stay in L1 and will not roll over easily. Talking of rollers, it will be a very important point for our players to bear in mind to be aware that two ton Akinfenwa might step on your toes or (even worse) fall on top of you .
Wycombe Wanderererers 0 v CAFC 3 .
I'm constantly thinking the same (as per my Preview line-up) yet as @SoapBoxSam says... There gets to the stage when you have to question if Bowyer will rest key players what with the extension potentially coming up.
i.e. At present we've still got a chance of second so you surely continue to play your best team until that hope has been extinguished - Then you've got the Play-Offs themselves, once we miss out on second (If we do) do we rest players and so risk defeat or do we keep the squad the same, if we do the former and lose a couple then we've got to worry about returning to form at the right time
an accurate assessment of what will become known in years to come as 'Bowyer's Dilemma' ((:>) .. But seriously, injury/fatigue, red or yellow cards, all need to be taken into account .. Whatever, I will not be surprised if Bowyer decides either to really go for it with his 'best eleven' or conversely takes the conservative path and rests a few between now and the play offs .. I suspect that most CLIfers would like him to go all out for second spot to save us all from the nerve jangling, nail biting, cliff hanging episode which is the play offs
Winning teams don’t need rest. Yellows do need to be managed, we would not want anyone missing from the playoffs.

Do we need to worry now?
Anyone who gets 10 yellows wont receive a two match ban whilst not sure if there is a ban received for anyone getting 15 bookings (only really applies to Bielik and Taylor)

Someone who's already been sent off would get a 2 match ban though, from memory that's Fosu, Taylor, Sarr, Bauer and Solly
Relatively short trip up the M40 for those loyal Addicks going to this one.
Have a bit of a soft spot for Wycombe after getting married just outside the town in 1989, and being based twice in the area in the early-mid 90s and 2010s. However, needs must, and I expect the travelling faithful to be rewarded with a hard fought 0-1 victory.

3-0 Charlton, two goals for Igor from <6 yards out, and Reeves is finally going to get one of his long range efforts past the first defender and into the top corner.
Will watch this in Prague on iFollow. Incidentally.....isn’t there a pub with strippers and pole dancers somewhere near the stadium? Seem to remember it was enthusiastically visited and got five star rating by a few Addicks on a couple of occasions in the not too distant past......not sure if it’s still going though?
I hate these games, on paper / form everything this should be Charlton win all day.. however this is where we do the most Charlton thing having finally got a sniff of autos.
1-1 Draw (I have actually bet Charlton but I need to put a negative in there just to make sure we don't let this slip)
We're making a day of it, so about to set off to Marylebone. Wycombe doesn't sound as if it's got too many cultural highlights - Benjamin Disraeli's former gaff, Hughenden Manor, is a bit out of the way on foot and I think we'll pass on the Hellfire Caves and the Wycombe Chair Museum. The latter is described by one punter on Trip Advisor as " the most boring day out you could ever achieve in your life. Want to go look at some ugly brown chairs stuck to the wall, well step right up.... the world's most rubbish day out, if you have insomnia, go. This place it will bore you to tears so much you will sleep on the spot.." Not someone to sit on the fence.
I see from Wiki that, for a town of only 125,000, High Wycombe has had some notable past and present residents, such as Ian Dury, James Corden, Dusty Springfield, Colin Baker, Frankie Vaughan, the Mitford family (presumably in 1,000 acres on the outskirts), Terry Pratchett, Jean Shrimpton, Colin Baker, Noel Fielding and last, but by no means least, the great Simon Church.
We're hopping off the train a stop early at Beaconsfield for lunch and a few pints at The Royal Standard of England, a historic pub reputed to have been there for a thousand years - http://www.rsoe.co.uk/ There's also a nice circular walk of a couple of miles by the pub. We'll then hop back on the train one stop to High Wycombe and take in the Mad Squirrel Tap & Bottleshop and maybe The Bootlegger or Belle Vue near the Station. Nearer the ground, I see there is the Hour Glass, but I expect that will get very busy, along with the bar at the ground.
A new ground for me and, in terms of current form, the portents for this game are good. That usually makes me nervous, although I have a lot of confidence in this group of players and the grit that Bowyer and Jacko have instilled in them.

Not as neutral as I would like.

1-0 to the home side.

Wycombe will be a tricky game and hopefully we can scrape a win.
