A straight back line of 5 players against Swindon. Jees our training must be fun, when not injuring players.

Oh now, I forgot, CHuks came on at half time, so that doesn't count as one of the 3 occasions.

Wish Washington’s quality matched his effort.

We can make 2 more! At the same time mind

Yeah two more if at the same time as Aneke came on at HT

If you are a top 2 team, should you invite mediocre teams to attack you ?

Attempt saved. Chuks Aneke (Charlton Athletic) right footed shot from the left side of the box is saved.

Chuks and the Swindon number 6 flatten each other in the centre circle but we get a free kick

Pratley absolutely everywhere in defence at the moment.

This league is so awful to watch

NO. You should be attacking them & a scoring a 3rd  4th & a 5th. 

mendonca

Last time Pratley was doing the "Im everywhere" role, we lost a goal to MK Dons.

aliwibble

Bah! Washington's touch let him down there.

Chunes

Nathan seems to have forgotten he's a commentator and is just shouting like a fan

Must be difficult when you don't commentate every week and hope it's something to learn from 

SantaClaus

Are we even a top 2 team?

It's a good tactic if you've got plenty of attacking players on the pitch - draw them in and catch them on the break, exploiting the space.

If you've got plenty of defenders and defensive midfielders on the pitch then it may not be the best idea.

Gilbey blazes over the bar.

Lets do this to put @golfaddick stat to rest!

Purrington's spent his training time turning himself into Pirlo it seems 

Dazzler21

shockingly bad shot from Gilbey

Fumbluff

Quite a few have left their shooting boots at home right

soapboxsam

Fantastic ball from Purrington to Washington but he hasn't been sharp today.

killerandflash

I may have forecast 2-1 on the predictions thread, but I’d happily sacrifice my personal score for another goal!

aliwibble

Great interception from Matthews there.

Absolutely ridiculous, anyone but Bowyer doing this week after week would get slaughtered ................... & rightly so.

Washington look cream crackered.
