edited January 2021 in General Charlton

Match re-arranged for this Tuesday, 2nd February  |  7pm ko







Pitch unfit. It's been raining, you know. A lot.


Pompey. The team we love to play. 6-pointer. We need to win to stay in the playoffs.

 Lee Bowyer: "When you play these sides that are in and around you, a win gives you a mental boost. Every single time we've played Portsmouth, they've been tight games.

Bogle and Smyth gone. Innis & Famewo still not fit. Washington calf strain. Maddison, who knows?
The rest of the troop report for duty.

    Even if it's off can we see the line-up just for shits and giggles 
  • Postponed.

    I bet they hold off on publishing the line up until they know whether the game is going ahead or not. Looking at the pics, if there is only light rain, there must be a fighting chance of clearing the standing water in the dodgy areas.

    Tempting fate to start a match thread!
  • There's been a lot of rain & will continue throughout the match.

    Wouldn't surprise me if it's off 
  • Considering the guff we have played on recently seems a strange decision to me.

    Must be surface water.

    I'm told the ball is rolling but not bouncing. Shame but hopefully get some of the players such as Famewo fitter

    Imagine had it rained this hard prior to Peterborough and Milton Keynes, they would have been called off too

    I think we should demand that cup game at West Brom is replayed now.

    gutted, though with Pompey allegedly being a very physical side it may be a blessing for us

    Still not on the OS.

    You know what Henry says ...... it's not true until it's on the OS. :wink:

    Potentially have Famewo back and fit for when we play, transfer window business will definitely be completed

    Just have to hope we have no new damaging injuries

    It did before Peterborough. The side walkways just off the pitch were flooded.

    Anyone want to post the team?

    You know, the starting line up that Bowyer would have played?

    Bogle hattrick.

    It's poor, in this day and age, for any professional club to have a match postponed for a waterlogged pitch.

    Usual questions to be asked about covers and drainage, but it's just a real sting when there's so little else to look forward to throughout the week.

    If this is postponed Peterborough entire season should be cancelled, I'm not saying its the wrong decision, its probably not. 
    But both conditions and pitch are better than Peterboroughs. 
  • A chance for us to get our players fit 
    a chance for us to not have played 10 more games than everyone else
    already sliding down the table with Sunderland leading against Gills (Aiden McGeady scored the first )

    When do we have to move from this match thread to the post-match thread?

    I held back later than usual, but had to do it though.

    If the pitch had passed inspection, the teams would have been announced way before the Match Thread posted.
