Are we that devoid of tactics that we always need to match the opposition's starting 11? Then, if we "get it wrong", we change our formation as are being exposed by the opposition team's formation.
Yes, it’s disappointing that Forster-Caskey and Williams aren’t starting, with Pratley and Watson in midfield together instead... but, we are away from home and if we keep it tight first, we can bring on the players to make a difference.
I like that idea. Keep it tight until around the sixty five minute mark and then introduce the magic and stardust.
That's a great game plan until you go 1 - 0 down after 10 mins.
I thought LB has said many times he wants us to always play on the front foot
Be good to back up Saturday with a win tonight. But goals look hard to come by for us this season. Think this will be a tricky encounter, 1-1,solid point.
A very winnable game, I really hope Lee is positive with his approach to the match, these are the sorts of matches we need to be winning if we are to challenge the top 6
I've no idea what team or formation we will use, but imagine that Washington and Levitt will start. I don't think Watson is up to speed yet, I'd bench him and use him as a late sub to close the game out

Accept your point and of course there is no guarantee that we'll keep them out until we make positive changes but I'll put my faith in LB knowing what he is doing in regards to tonight. Surely he knows better than anyone on here what's needed.
With six games in 18 days, there was always going to be a fair degree of squad rotation. My only grumble is pairing Watson and Pratley. Would have preferred Watson to sit this one out.

But in Bowyer we trust.

To have this every single game is tad tiring.

I really like the look of our new back 4 and am totally happy with Amos (though missing Dillon). Sure I’ll get pelters for positivity.
Charlton win 0-2 with both goals coming from the bench.
