Charlton Athletic v Cardiff City
Sometime this Weekend … 12:30pm Kick-Off
Referee: Darren Bond (Lancashire)
Introduction
Football returns to South East London this Saturday
and bring the SKY cameras back with them, with it being a double header of
games being shown to the Nation it’s a chance to show once again just what Lee
Bowyer is capable of, although with so many managers being replaced that might
not be a good thing – This Saturday will see Cardiff City making the trip along
the M4 for the first of those televised games!!
The Opposition
Name: Cardiff City (14th) | Manager: Neil
Harris
Ground: Cardiff City Stadium
Promotion to the Premier League was certainly a
surprise two years ago and was always going to be a struggle for a Neil Warnock
who has achieve any form of survival success at England’s top table – It’s a repeat
we’ll surely see this coming transfer window yet like many teams; Cardiff knew
they needed a Striker if they wanted to survive… Emiliano Sala is a tragedy we’re
all familiar with and surely helped confirm relegation for the Bluebirds,
having scored 12-goals in nineteen games for Nantes, you’ll always have to
wonder if the Argentine could have made the difference for team that were
relegated by just two points!!
Life back in the Championship though hasn’t been
easy for Warnock, with just the one win in the last six the board decided to
act and replaced him with Neil Harris – Despite their struggles; Cardiff are still
a strong team and will be difficult against the weekend…
Aden Flint and Sean Morrison combine to make one of
the strongest centre-back pairings in the League (although 23-goals conceded,
four more than the Addicks may say otherwise) – It’s in attack where the issues
remain for the Bluebirds; Joe Ralls is top-scorer with five goals, yet as a
midfielder it says it all… Strikers; Danny Ward and Robert Glatzel have a combined
six goals between them… Once again it’s clear where our opponents need to
strengthen come January, let’s just hope they have better luck this time
round!!
Charlton Team News
Quite honestly where to begin!!... Luck seems to walk
out on Lee Bowyer around this time of year and with the number of injuries it’s
surely easier to discuss the players that we do have available!! – Naby Sarr is
of course going to be the main talking point for a few more weeks, vilified in
a way that only George Tucudean would know after our last performance
Yet with a lack of midfielders you have to question
if Bowyer will once again go with three at the back, one of the few questions
to be answered ahead of the team sheet being named is whether we go with Chris
Solly or pick Adam Matthews who along with Tom Lockyer will be appearing against
the team they each came through at all those years ago – The main news this
week was that Albie Morgan has been recalled from his Ebbsfleet loan, with so
few players available it’s a real opportunity for the youngster to force his
way into the team once again for the second half of the season!!
Comments
(1) Your in a rush
(2) Known for making at least one error a week and are trying to make excuses lol!
Lyle on the bench would be a massive boost, but I expect it will be down to the same guys, minus Pratters, to bounce back. A real test of character and self-belief.
Hope we are up to the challenge
Win, and we can hopefully secure some sort of mini-revival or momentum. Lose and we are in a slump: last five games would read W0 D1 L4. Draw... well, that depends on how good or bad we are.
Big game and I hope we're up to the task. Heart says 2-1, head says this is absolutely not a game I want to make a true non-biased prediction on.
Great write up as per though mate.
We have got this don't worry 2-0 Charlton, Gallagher and Bonne back in the goals.

Saturday 24th November 2019 … 12:30pm Kick-Off
Was originally in my starting twelve before I was told I couldnt have the extra man in the line up
Forgot to put him on the bench
Come on, Forever. Sort it out!
And then instead of editing, I quoted .... and ended with 2 separate halves of what should have been the same post.
See what happens to you when your hair starts to go grey? I got in a real muddle. Duh!
All I meant to do, was to highlight to Forever that the date was wrong - but with a smile.
The match is on Saturday.
1) Use https://www.google.co.uk/ to search for "Charlton Athletic fixtures".
2) Look at the date and time of the fixture listed. In this case, it's listed as taking place on Saturday 23rd November at 12.30pm:
3) Then you can write a helpful comment such as "Hey ForeverAddickted, great preview as always, just a heads up that you have the wrong date mate! Cheers."
Hope this helps and that you've had a lot of fun! Thanks for reading and if you need any further help let me know!

Hint, nudge
(winky thingy) 24th Saturday **** spot the error
We will need to be wary of their wingers Mendez-Laing and Hoilett, and they will be a threat in the air from two big central defenders Morrison and Flint, and misfiring striker Madine, if he is selected.
We need players back from injury a s a p (easier hoped for than done it seems)
