Donny did a job on us on Friday evening, Sunderland will have seen that and will know how to nullify our team, it is up to LB & JJ to use different tactics in what is a very different type of game
Bowyer and Jackson were at fratton park Thursday evening.
Just like our opponents...we can work out the best strategy for a specific tactical plan against a good defensive side.
ADS BFG Pearce Purr Cullen Belik Pratley Williams Aribo Taylor
A 4-3-2-1. In my mind that's our best team. That midfield 3 will break up the play nicely. JW & JA have got enough about them to cause Sunderland problems in the final third. When we dont have the ball JW & JA need to tuck into the midfield. Get the ball to Taylor! No Nabby for me. Finals need the right sort of player. Pearce & Pratley in there fill me with confidence and experience.
Taylor as a lone striker doesn’t get the best out of him or the midfield. Has never worked that well this season when we have done it, for example Oxford away.
They have McGeady who can produce a bit of magic out of nothing. Could be the difference in what will be a nervy tight game.
How would you approach it mate? You’ve always got a good grip on this sort of stuff
Marking McGeady or the game in general?
The game. Although I see there’s now a separate thread for the formation etc
Id imagine Bowyer will approach it the same as the home game against them, which i thought we dominated in spells.
Whatever he decides to do, we have to keep the ball better than Friday. Will be a hectic game, we have to have good possession otherwise that Wembley pitch will sap the life out of you.
Their smallest crowd of the season was bigger than our largest crowd of the season. their average home attendance for the season will have been more than double ours their average away following was 2,681ours was 984
they owe us for 1998 the greatest ever game and the footballing gods will repay them back , nothing will ever equal or better that .
we will lose , it’s only fair , don’t be greedy
Not a question of being 'fair' or being 'greedy' - it's the ramifications of not getting promoted that worry me. When we were 3-1 down on Friday night my boy said to 'take a look at the ground, if we lose now you probably won't see another crowd like this here in your lifetime' fortunately he was proved wrong, but you can perhaps see the point I'm trying to make. Promotion and who knows. stay where we are and not only will we lose those players on loan, but the Mad Belgian will sell off the remaining decent players and replace them with kids and loanees - and you can bet your life Bowyer, JJ etc. won't hang around. And he still wont be able to sell the club. And the only way then is down. Sorry to piss on people's frites.

That could certainly be the case even if we do get promoted!!! I see no reason why he would suddenly start spending money if we go up

Exactly. That's why Roland needs to sell the club. Preferably as soon as possible to give the new owners a few weeks to sort out contracts and bring in fresh bodies, but I won't be holding my breath.

Sorry but that's well OTT, things can turn around quickly for clubs. Luton plunged down into non league, now they're back in the Championship. Swansea just avoided relegation out of the league, a few years later they were in the PL and winning the League Cup.

Of course the fortunes of any club can turn. However, I still maintain that ours will not while Roland is still running Charlton. Am I alone in believing this?

No, you're not. But still, I'd rather be Shitweaseled in The Championship than Shitweaseled in League One...

But Roland won't own us for the rest of our lifetimes. At some point he will sell us, it might be next week, next month, next year or 2022 but he will go eventually.
1988 they lost in a 40 minute match after penalties in a Mercantile Credit Centenary match immediate sudden death penalties (I don’t remember this one at all just seen on Wiki) don’t think there was a 1997 one ... but 7 Wembley losses on the spin for em now

It's just about what happens on the day.
I reckon Williams might start.
Whatever he decides to do, we have to keep the ball better than Friday. Will be a hectic game, we have to have good possession otherwise that Wembley pitch will sap the life out of you.

Have to dig mine out - at least I can still get into it!

Wish you hadn't posted that!!!!!
Both Sunderland and Aston Villa (who also finished in that position) cant both be promoted now, at least one has to miss out
After all three teams finishing in the exact same Play-Off spots in the Championship | League One | League Two have never all been promoted...
Previous house move early 2011. Promoted first full season 11/12
Moved house Feb last year and promotion sealed once more first full season after!
but 7 Wembley losses on the spin for em now
That would have been Newcastle @ Wembley not them
