Over the last couple of seasons we've been used to Lord Bowyer sending out the team with a back four/diamond midfield formation or a back three with midfield five ... oppo teams get used to how we play.
As there has been a very long break in the season maybe His Lordship and his staff have taken the opportunity to come up with some new playing styles, to bowl a bit of a googly (I'm loathe to use the baseball "curveball" analogy when there's a perfectly good cricket one!) knowing that they've got the tried-and-trusted diamond in their back pocket if needs be.
Big game for Bowyer. Hull all over the shop and he picks a lineup that has us all scratching our collective heads. He’s earned the benefit of the doubt to be sure. But this is a season defining game. I hope his plan is a good one.
Massive risk with that line up, couple hours time we will be either lauding Bows for a tactical masterclassing or lamenting him, I am not confident atm

seems a strange lineup but hopefully Bows knows something we don’t know

Anyway ... in Lord Bowyer we trust.
Come on you rip-roaring, goal-scoring Addicks!
Attack early and they'll retreat into their shell.
Even with Lapslie missing, Matt Smith hasn't made the 20 at all, and isn't even mentioned in the article!
Did we ever find out who the positive tests were in the Championship?
Not too worried by that match up - Eaves doesnt seem to be the smart Championship Striker that we've seen Pearce struggling against
