Maybe they will be too confident. I think we do so badly at the Valley as teams set out not to lose and we gift them the games. If they come to win it might help us.
I agree. I think we play better away as teams come on to us and we are good on the break.
At home seem to struggle as we commit a lot of players forward and against teams that hump the ball up as it turns the back four and our team is strung out the length of the pitch.
Big dilemma for tomorrow. Do I waste another tenner to be disappointed yet again? Or suffer like the rest of you. Here's my team hoping for some lightness in these dark days.
To be honest, If it was a case of attending I would be questioning whether I would go after all the crap we have been dished up with not enough contrition for my liking. I totally hate being told it isn't good enough, then being told it is. But spending a tenner when there isn't a lot else to do is no big deal and I can always turn it off.

As I've said a number of time on various other threads, if we decided that we weren't going to waste money on this club for fear of being disappointed (at best!) by the result or the performance then it would have folded a long time ago.
Disappointment is a key feature of this football club. The word might as well feature on the club crest along the length of the sword's (blunt) blade.
Two things for certain. One I will waste a tenner after trying to talk myself out of it. Two, more experimentation by Lee Bowyer as first he tries to nullify Blackpool's threat while at same time trying to shore up a defence that anyone on here would score against. Score three two to Blackpool.

Yep that is my choice of team.
Just hope Bow's can finally decide what his best team is, and sticks to it for at least 5 0r 6 games maybe swapping Maatsen for Pur'n if they have a fast tricky winger.
Having played Smith for half a game he needs a run of games to get match fit; only then can he be properly judged. Apologies for repeating some other comments above.

I don’t believe you, I think you would be there.
Nobody spends as much time on Charlton Life unless it really matters to them.
We may disagree on things but I would hazard a guess that we would be singing and dancing at any success and would certainly be there when we are supporting either our youth or the offbeats.
Blackpool are the form team and we are not. Our defence is not protected by the midfield and is under pressure too easily. Plus we ship soft goals. 2-0 Backpool, routine win.

Do you live in Briston,Briston?
Disappointment is a key feature of being a football fan. I remember an old Millwall suporting neighbour of mine saying some years ago, that he'd supported Millwall for over 60 years and for 59 and a half years it's been pure misery. He went on to say he couldn't remember the 6 months of glory and thought that being a football supporter was tantamount to masochism!!
Of course I will be spending a tenner watching Charlton tomorrow. Supporting and worrying just as I've done for over 60 years. Sadly Briston and the good posters on this site, Charlton's performances of late have given me more anxiety than my chemotherapy treatment.
That's my prediction. As I said earlier, it's academy day so they'll want an academy player in the 11, and I can't see Bowyer playing 2 strikers AND 2 wingers against Blackpool
People go on about needless changes yet you left MOM out from Tuesday (Watson)
Not watching again. Not excited by any player in this squad. Will lose 1-2.
Nah, we have a few that are a delight to watch - just not at the back😬.
At the end of the day it is our club and our team. We are in this together whatever. A pound in is a pound to a better squad. Win or lose, we are in it together.

Not while we have a manager who has no tactical nous or man management skills. Plus not working so will spend my money on something that won't leave me pissed off after.
Well I m amazed Bowyer is still here. So I guess he's just going to have to try a little harder to get the pay-off I assume he is after.
With that in mind, expect more changes in formation tomorrow. Expect a visionary 6-0-4 formation as Bowyer attempts to shore up the defence whilst still maintaining an attacking threat. Stockley is moved to centre half and we play both Matthews & Jaiyesimi at left back to mark the dangerous Campbell.
Maatsen is moved to centre forward and Watson is also played up front where his pace can be used most effectively.
All complete rubbish of course but no doubt LB will make another load of changes and play another system. No wonder we can't get any consistency.

I'll spend a tenner on this game to support Charlton. The team, the staff and our club.
I'm going with my 3-1 (home) win prediction.
I'm safe in the knowledge our club is in good hands. We have an owner with a long term vision, a vision that is in the best interests of Charlton and his investment. Investment of both of his valuable time and money. I've not seen anything to contradict this yet.
We've fought into the premiership before, and it took more than a season , and more than one try to be there regularly. It also took a team that worked together on and off the field.
Comments
come on tegether.
Maybe we will do better against the top teams?
(I only said maybe, be gentle).

Any time spent among the North Folk isn't long enough, any time spent away is too long.

According to the statbank Watson was our 8th best player, with a stellar score of 5.05
