Great to see Taylor and Bonne starting together but Naby not even on the bench? Seems odd considering he’s been our best player over the last few games. Maybe a slight knock?
Wouldn't have put money on saying this a while ago, but that's a blow. Been our best centre back in recent weeks and we may miss his size against a big strong Sheff Weds side.
Midweek, oop-north, crap weather, physical opposition who are on a bad run. Not the traditional recipe for a Charlton win.
Was gonna say Taylor and Bonne will cause them problems.
Then I saw Wickham and Forestieri are their front 2. Fuck me. Hell of a front 2. Maybe the extra man in defence is a good thing. Can see Pearce having a real battle with Wickham like he did with Mitrovic early season.
Happy to see Erhun play again, going to be important to get him on the ball, but honestly struggle to see that happening when we know Davis and Cullen will sit deep in that formation.
In Bowyer we trust though, and you know Lyle and Bonne can hurt any defence in this league.
Pearce and Lockyer are a dogged CB pairing and they don't need a third party unless it's a consummate ballplayer and all-around monster like Lord Naby.
I mean I'm hopeful Oshilaja makes me eat my words but with Sarr injured you surely back Pearce and play the second-half team from last time out. But what do I know

Wickham doesnt bother me too much (famous last words)
Never lived up to the hype when he was a kid and far too injury prone

Forestieri came off at half time at The Valley in November. Didn’t have a very effective first half. Think we will be able to manage their front two, they’ll cause us problems for sure, but don’t think it’ll be too difficult in comparison to other sides.
Although, they are one of the few teams in the league who play two up front, like us.

Fox to get the second after dribbling the length of the pitch past 8 Charlton players before arrowing into the top corner from 30 yards

Seems to answer the question that he's come back fitter than before
Wonder if a certain Danny Murphy has something to do with that
