we are playing them at the right time, their form has gone backwards since Barton was sacked .. we should win this, but I am putting none of my hard earned on us doing so
There is no right time for Charlton, whenever we play a team in shite form they seem to get result. Shame this is one i would have love to have gone too, great away game and a nice ground, well the sports bar in it
I cant see us winning , we are just so inconsistent right now and Fleetwood are/were a good side.

To be fair their form is as patchy as ours, like Rochdale they have proven they can score but they're less leaky than Dale.
In the absence of Aneke, I'd probably play Stockley up front with Millar and DJ in forward positions just behind him.
Why? How do you see this working in practice (genuine question, just assume I'm thick) Surely that would sacrifice width and encourage them to float around hoping to win second balls from hoofs up to Stockley
I think you have a bit more ability to play on the break away and these are the best combination to do this IMO. I think Washington and Schwartz are at risk of being carried at the moment.
I am surprised not to see Gilbey in your team FA, he had 90 minutes the other day and LB said he has sorted his life out. I think he will replace JF-C, other than that, I have no idea as usual on team or score
I feel that a midfield pairing of Pratley and Shinnie, flanked by two wingers in Millar and Jaiyesimi, will leave our shaky defence too exposed. I'd therefore prefer to see Morgan or Smith in a midfield three, with Jaiyesimi on the bench. We need to get some decent possession in the opposition's half and achieve some measure of control of the game - something we haven't managed very much this season.
I expect Jaiyesimi will be joined on the bench by Famewo unless Bowyer and the medical team feel he's got 90 minutes in him and that the risk of him breaking down is minimal.
Chuks is a big miss up top but, in terms of straws to clutch at, at least he'll be fresh for the visit of the mighty Burton on Tuesday.
Bowyer hasn’t got a clue. He is like a rabbit in the car headlights.
He gets Smith in from Swindon, and has barely given him a chance. Yet existing players are making the same mistakes week after week, and are never dropped.
In my opinion Bowyer seems scared to change. Tactically he is shite.
No idea to be fair. We might win. We might lose. Don't think this will be a draw. Without the threat that Aneke poses defences, I think we will struggle to score. Would go with Schwartz with Stockley but he needs to deliver. Hoping for a win but no idea. Remember years ago when we would have laughed if someone said we would be in the same division as Fleetwood. It's where we are I guess. COYRs

So pissed off with Charlton ATM. We have an owner who is not a dribbling moron or a scheister, a playing legend as our coach who despite having a split personality when it comes to team selection IS A CLUB LEGEND and we are literally back from the dead (off the pitch).

You can be just behind and wide at the same time, I assumed that's what he ment. More attacking midfielders than wingers but not in a flat 5 either.
Not a 4-3-3 then? I'd still be interested in how he see's the formation working

I can’t see anything but another defeat.
Scared to change? We make 3-4 changes almost every game. Between the start of the MK Dons game and the Rochdale game we made 11 changes to our starting line up, in 3 games.
Apart from the colour we play in I don't know what he hasn't changed!
3-1 to Fleetwood and Curbs tells us in the post match analysis on Valley Pass we were a little bit unlucky not to nick a point, had we just been a bit more organised at the back.

We win 0-1 with a solid battling performance, we all get a little excited and think this is it, the beginning of the run.
Then we lose, I dunno, 6-3 at home to burton next week via 2 screamers, 3 deflections and 1 late on cos we’re chasing the game. Can you tell I’ve had enough yet.
Surely it's Shinnie. Can't see it being anybody else.
Stockley or Famewo would be a "game changer" in terms of pieces in place for next season. Shinnie, I assume, would just be until the end of the season anyway?
Comments
I cant see us winning , we are just so inconsistent right now and Fleetwood are/were a good side.
And without Chuks, we are much less likely to score.
Each performance seems entirely disconnected from the previous one, even when the team doesn't change.
2-0 defeat.
I expect Jaiyesimi will be joined on the bench by Famewo unless Bowyer and the medical team feel he's got 90 minutes in him and that the risk of him breaking down is minimal.

I'd suggest the following:
Gunter - Inniss - Famewo - Maatsen
Shinnie - Watson - Pratley
Millar
Stockley - Washington
I know. Don't call me surely...

C'mon Addicks, 3 points please.
1-2
Apart from the colour we play in I don't know what he hasn't changed!
The same Goalkeeper
18 Different Defences
25 Different Midfields
22 Different FW lines
This is across 6 different formations.
West Ham v Spurs. 1-3
Fleetwood v Charlton. 1-2
Sorry, wrong thread. Going to,pieces.

Gunter - Oshilaja - Pearce - Purrington
Shinnie - Smith - Pratley - Millar
Stockley - Washington
I suspect however we will see something random so a 3-5-2
Amos
Gunter - Oshilaja - Pearce
Matthews - Shinnie - Watson - Pratley - Millar
Stockley - Schwartz
