I would start the strongest possible team, even if it means a weaker team at Swansea. Flog them one more time, then give them 10 days off if you have to.
A draw would be a "good" result. No win at Derby since 1999 and the home team out of form points to a poor performance from us and a disappointing loss. Sorry, but been following Charlton too long to be optimistic with these odds. However, the 10 year old inside me still expects a win. COYR.
Just not sure we can put out a competitive team with so many injuries and little recovery time since Boxing Day. Will be a tough one but hopefully confidence will get us a result. 1-1 honours even.

4 days is long enough. Most PL sides had 2 days which is crazy

On 150k upwards I'd make the buggers play every day.
No bloody clue about the team selection. I'd stick with the same 11 that started on boxing day (assuming Gallagher is fit).....but that isn't Bowyer's style.
Can't see us getting anything more than a point.....so a comfortable 4-4 draw.
Gallagher literally playing because he has to, Solly and Pearce in for Matthews and Oshilaja which I think will be a typical away day battle.
Domt think we’ll see the goal fest of the last few games, I think they’ll be feeling the pressure from the manager for this one which may work in our favour.
0-1 Taylor, and a MOM performance from him as he slowly gets back to full fitness (and Jan on the horizon..)
Lovely day here. Just walked back from ground. Jobsworth would not let me on the pitch to see how it would play and claimed there were strict rules as to who goes on it.
If you have targeted parking at the Harvester there are park and pay machines.😕 Drive towards station and there is a car park which costs £5 on match days.☺️

Yes. Oshilaja was happy to tackle and contest midfield 50-50 headers admirably, but at Championship level he's no midfielder as he is afraid of having the ball under any pressure. He wasn't making himself available enough when the defenders had the ball or from throw ins. Although he was hanging back to accept the ball when the forwards had it and noone was around him. The result was we couldn't play the ball through our midfield.
Was happy with Bowyer's change to switch Pratley into midfield as he gives us much better control of it. We have 3 centre backs so let's use them, and put Pratley in midfield while we have a midfield crisis crying out for some experience and composure. Otherwise our midfield is powderpuff.

Winning this game is worth loosing the next 2.

Promotion last season was pretty great and the first quarter of this season was pretty damn overachieving.
We went on to beat Wycombe 2-1 in the first game of the new decade
Edit: Scrap that just seen it’s 5 yellows in your first 19 games.
Players wont be suspended now unless they get 10 bookings by the 37th game of the season which is the Middlesbrough game on 7th March
Of course if he reaches that with 10 bookings he'll get a two match ban
Lockyer, Pearce, Sarr
Solly, Pratley, Gallagher, Doughty
Morgan
Taylor, Bonne
