I’ve been so focused on the takeover, not even really been thinking about the football this season to be honest.
Feels good to be back in the preview threads. Admittedly know nothing about Lincoln’s squad but if they’ve just had 90mins against Liverpool when we didn’t play, hopefully will work in our favour. I think Appleton also said before that game that they had some players injured.
2-1 Charlton
Washington bagging again and maybe, just maybe Jonny bags his first goal for us.
The lads will be on the piss Saturday night & still hungover by kick-off. The new regime might have started but it will take a few weeks yet before it kicks in on the pitch.
Lincoln are a good side they’ll no doubt be top half this season maybe even pushing, Gilbey a big blow too. Too early for us this weekend IMO (but probably the least we will care about losing for a while).
2-0 loss.
You know what, I think we’re going to have the 2/3 in before the game, and with the rest of the squad given a boost by the takeover I’ve changed my mind.
Morgan and Watson to start and let’s get Dillon back in goal fer crissakes.
Addicks to win 2-0 - new owner bounce..
I kind of agree, but at the same time the stats show he's very decent at spreading the ball around. Not quite as laser guided as Morgan, also he's another that only seems to defend up to the half way line.
I'd live to see Pratley go centre half for this game. He looked ok there with Oshilaja in the Palace friendly. It can be risky messing with the defence when players don't know each other yet. Matthews not an issue of course in that respect.
The Brighton game in the week might be a good opportunity to try Oshilaja with Famewo. I think we should start with Williams or Oztumer. If neither can last 90 minutes, they can replace each other depending on who starts.
Comments
The Danish Vikings invaded England by landing at the Lincolnshire coast. This was back in the 9th century.
Therefore I predict the score to be Lincoln City 0 Charlton Athletic 9.
The game is Sunday.

1-0 to Lincoln.
Today’s news will have buoyed up the morale and we might even have some extra strength come Sunday.
I really won’t mind if this is one match too soon but I’m looking forward to it anyway.
Great match preview by the way.
2-0.

Do it the other way around and people might be a bit "Meh, we've got Matthews" from the earlier news
This Norwich lad may even be the third signing that Bowyer said might happen, as we've had to rely on another club
Matthews (?) | Oshilaja | Famewo | Purrington
Watson | Pratley | Forster-Caskey
Washington | Bonne | Doughty
Or too risky putting three players in with little game time so far?

COYA!!!
