Really don’t understand why he has changed the starting lineup from the last two games. Field must have been incredible in training since the cup game. Jonny Williams on the bench! Is he injured?
I'm sure I heard on Sunday's Charlton Live that the Barnsley match was the first full game that Willo had played for us since he joined.
If he had to play another match so soon he'd be blowing out of his arse midway through the first half!
If you've got a squad the point is to use it by choice before you're forced. Taking out a 34 year old midfielder and a player with a history of severe injury issues makes sense. Shame Hemed isn't on the bench but I understand why. Once he and Kayal come in Bowyer is going to have a genuine selection headache, which is great. Feel like game 4 is a good acid test for how your season's going; win and we're unbeaten in 4 with 10 points. Lose and we're hoping that the first two results can be repeated quickly to perk us up again. Fingers crossed for three points!
Pearce dropped !! .. surprise .. must be for Sarr's supposed greater ability in the air, unless of course Pearce is not fully fit .. Williams ? too fragile for three games a week ? .. good luck to Sam Field, he's coming into a difficult game.
Bow deffo playing some mind games, I reckon ..... saying "we need to assess Oztumer, not only fitness but how the situation at Bolton has affected him. We can afford to give him time, no rush, etc ...."

Or change of game plan?
Naby's got a passing range on him ...... maybe we'll be hoping to use that to good effect tonight. Which could mean 3 x CB and wing backs.
Hope we don't miss the old warrior Pearce too much though - trust Lockyer is a good organiser at the back!
"concerned how we're going to deal with the likes of Leko/Taylor in behind or on the break. Can see them causing us real issues there with how susceptible we are defending counter attacks. Looking at Charlton's line up, they've deliberately gone with a very mobile midfield and forward line"

brand new defence and midfield .. he's giving the squad a right good chance to make a name for themselves .. also 'nursing' along a few of the older, more fragile brigade I should think .. Come on you Addickssssaaaaahhhhhh

Save him for the next game on Saturday.
I trust in LB.
Williams hasn't played90mins for ages apart from last week - silly to rush him when we have others to rotate
Pratley and pearce wont be nearly as effective if we don't rest them
I see this as positive as Bowyer backs his squad not just an 11
Seems a lot of changes in one go, though - fingers crossed, it works out fine.
We'll see.
Then goes and plays him straightaway!

This lot should be capable enough
He will first need a chance though to do that - then it's up to the loan player to justify his place in the starting 11.
Rule One: If he doesn't perform well, then he's liable to be dropped.
Nobody over the age of 30.
