No idea what the starting line-up will be.......but tbf neither does Bowyer until 13.59 when he takes off his blindfold to find out where he has just thrown the 11 darts.
Just looked at the fixtures for the rest of the month. Lots of 6 pointers over the next 2 games, whereas we are playing 2 of the bottom sides. If we get back to back wins (you at the back.....stop laughing) then with the teams around us all dropping points the table will look a lot better & we wont be looking over our shoulders at Ipswich, Sunderland & Crewe (Crewe?!?!). We then have Pompey on Jan 30th.......
Sadly, I don't think this year will replicate 2019.
you don't need a shower when you've been douched sonshine - a good douching means you have been mentally realigned and refreshed - if you're thinking the same as me, you are on the right lines and should try and avoid washing until you regress
Douche is the French word for shower.
Is that @Doucher , why you always come up smelling of roses?
the name started as a bit of an insult to duchatalet really, after id stopped posting as bexley dan for some time and couldn't remember my password (that name was based on the fact i'd used a colleague at work's login details - daniels - to set up an account - i was contemplating changing the DOUCHER name now we have got rid of duchatalet but there has been so much history, controversy and 'magic' over the last few year's it would probably be wrong to change it - main reason however is that i can't be arsed. Anyway, back to the point..... the main reason i always come out smelling of roses oggy,(thanks for noticing), is coz i'm always right!!!!
Rather than worrying about what Swindon can do to us, I hope LB's approach is to get Swindon worrying about us. This is one game we just cannot afford to lose. Be brave from the off, Lee, start Stockley and Schwarz up front and get us flying from the kick-off. Swindon must be low on confidence and an early goal from one of the new boys would surely have us heading towards three points.
Madness from Bowyer if he starts Watson and Pratley together in midfield. I’d rather start none of them than both. JFC alongside Morgan or Shinnie for me. Got to have more of an attacking threat in CM. Looking forward to having Aneke, Schwartz and Stockley as our main strikers, main thing missing from them is pace - so even more important we have it out wide. I’d go with Millar and Williams. Smyth’s probably that bit quicker than Williams but I feel he’s less likely to create a chance.

I actually think Bowyer is the complete opposite and possibly slightly to his detriment this year. I think he can be guilty of overthinking it sometimes, really trying to match us up against the opposition, meaning he sometimes forgets to just play our best players in their best positions. This has gone through times of working really well and then not so well.
Interestingly I think it works for us against better opposition but can bring us down to opponents level when we’re playing poorer sides.
I feel though, he’s improved on that of late. Which is why I am confident about today.
They’re second from bottom. I don’t mean any disrespect, but we really should be getting a win today. I think this is a big game for us. We need a win and I would like a convincing performance.
Swindon were genuinely dreadful when we played them. We should take the game to them. I don't think we even need a defence they were so bad so I would play:
Amos Matthews | Morgan | JFC Smyth | Aneke | Williams Washington | Schwartz | Stockley | Millar

I've thought the same about a lot of our recent fixtures many of which have been against teams near the bottom of the table. If we can't defend we'll struggle.
I really dont think we should be looking beyond a comfortable 3 points today. The team selection will be a good insight into LB's state of mind I think. If he starts Watson & Pratley then he has lost the plot
*He could pick any 2 out of JFC, Williams or Morgan.
I think there has been enough improvement in the last 2 and half games to be optimistic today. 1 day soon we will take all the chances we get, we didn't even do that against Dale. Probably not to day though.

No such luck...
Charlton 5 Swindon 0...

So we just need to outscore the opposition which I think is in Bowyers mind and why he has bought in another attacker.
3-1 Charlton
Stockley ×2
Aneke

Amos
Matthews | Morgan | JFC
Smyth | Aneke | Williams
Washington | Schwartz | Stockley | Millar
8-0 Charlton.
Not to mention the impact on the player he takes off. To be honest it's much worse than being drop, it's almost as bad as subbing a sub.
Amos
Gunter|Oshilaja|Pearce|Maatsen
Williams*|JFC*|Pratley|Millar
Stockley|Washington

3-1 the addicks.
That’s 5 as a substitute getting onto the pitch and 3 starts but it doesn’t say how long he stayed on the pitch
Wycombe: 17-minutes
Middlesbrough: 79-minutes
Luton: 57-minutes
Barnsley: 16-minutes
Bristol City: 10-minutes
Derby: 30-minutes
Nottm Forest: 3-minutes
