    It's because Wigan can't afford to have the floodlights on too long.

    Or

    Northerners don't go to work so can watch the match when most workers are on their commute home

    Or

    We want to finish & get started back home before the roadworks on the M1 mean a detour via the A1, Grantham & Cambridge.

    As much as it’s doom and gloom central around here lately, our away results have actually been very good this season (16 played, 8 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, 5th best performing away side in the division) and it’s at the Valley where we have truly struggled to perform with four wins, four draws and seven losses.

    If that away record starts going to pot away at 23rd placed Wigan then we’re truly in trouble between now and May. I won’t be predicting the score, that’s for sure.

    I wonder if pitch size plays any part? We've got an immobile team of dinosaurs but no doubt we've set the pitch quite big this season. Away from home they look quite compact.

    "Let’s start with rewinding 12 months, 28th February 2020. Charlton were sitting in 20th in the Championship, only a single point behind Wigan and 2 points behind Hull. There were 10 games of the season left at that stage."

    One of those 10 games was Reading, where a similarly incompetent performance from the referee/linesman did us no favours. Bit of deja-vu there...   

    I simply think Bow needs to play his strongest team (injury/discipline permitting), every match. There may be some positions where he doesn't know his strongest (though he should by now), but we all know Stockley and Chuks are the best forwards, so play them.  Stop messing about with line ups and formations, let the opposition worry about us.

    Law of averages 
    decent footballers can’t be shit forever
    even managers who’ve lost the plot can have good days 

    Wigan 1 Charlton 4 

    Good away form continues , with similar away  numbers as normal in the stand the players feel comfortable with it 

    please get us out of this excuse of a league , yes it’s appropriate with the amount of excuses some of our fans and manager have but it’s not for me thank you .

    We badly need a win to stop the moaning which is probably justified right now. Wigan could be just the team to play as their luck is terrible. I would like to say I feel for them but I don't. A club living beyond their means with a former rich owner. Dreadful home record if we score first we should win. 1-0 to the Addicks with Wigan showing where we could just as easily be right now.

    Was  tempted to give Valley pass a miss tonight as the games are so depressing at the moment,but in the end I feel Thomas needs and appreciates the amount of people buying the games.

    It is possible and must be the bookies line of thinking too, as we are still favourites to win... I keep thinking that 'surely Wigan can't be *that* shit?!!

    5-0 to the Addicks - the day it all came good. A penalty, an own goal and all 3 shots on target going in.

    It looks like it's at the request of Wigan as they played Hull at home midweek last month with a 5:30 KO and play Sunderland at home next month with a 6pm KO

    We should start doing a sweepstake £2 entry with a prediction of the team, could get quite high. In all fairness on this match its tough to call, again away we do better. We are playing a team near the bottom which we always seem to struggle, i will go for 1-2 Charlton win. 

    I think i need help?!! predicting a charlton win at the moment.

    Dull 0-0 written all over it

    I have a feeling our centre backs tonight will be Gunter and Pearce. 
  • Just bought my stream tonight... not entirely sure why we do it to ourselves.

    :lol:

    It's a bit of a bugger seeing as that's bang on the kids 'Bath & Bed' routine. 
  • The great thing about tonight is the fact that with the game kicking off at 6.00pm, it will be over by 7.45pm.

    If When we lose that will be an extra 2 hours for us to have a good old moan on here over a normal night match!

    Shall I or shall’t I buy this match on Valley Pass 🤔. Probably will end up buying as the only other option for an evening’s entertainment is talking to the missus and watching EastEnders. Thankfully the garden centre is closed at 6pm

    So which players shall we be missing?

    We started this last game:


    Reading between the lines of the pre & post match interviews against Blackpool, it seems Oshilaja and Shinnie have both cost us goals of late due to mistakes. Jaiyesimi has also been blamed a couple of times for goals conceded too. It was insinuated Washington was also not doing enough so I'm thinking he may be back on the bench. 

    I expect Bowyer to go with this:

    Amos
    Matthews | Gunter | Famewo | Maatsen
    Morgan | Watson | Smith | Millar
    Stockley | Schwartz
