Logically we have no chance of winning this; they never lose away and we're terrible at home. This is Charlton though, so we'll probably sneak a win we don't deserve tonight so that we can go into the final day hoping and get our dreams crushed right at the death. Probably via a last minute John Marquis goal for Pompey.
I almost agree with you muttleycafc but you have to have someone like pratley in midfield to break up Lincoln’s play win the ball and give it to our more creative players ie if-c and Shinnie without a(destroyer) in midfield lincoln would cut through us like a knife through butter.
Would it matter if they did? Just go for it and not worry about them. It is a case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted anyway.
Adkins completely haphazard accident waiting to happen 11, will give him the chance to put his happy positive spin on yet another dullfest draw.... 1-1.
Appleton rests players as he wants us in the playoffs rather than Pompey or Oxford. We win 7-0
On Saturday Pompey lose to Accrington, Oxford draw against Burton, while we draw 0-0 against Hull, enabling us to claim 6th on GD with Magennis missing a last minute penalty. Coincidentally he's seen the next day driving a new Range Rover.
We beat Sunderland in the semis, then just before we are due to play Lincoln in the final, call off the match because one of the groundsmen has tested positive for Covid. The match is played 2 weeks later, and we romp home easy winners as Appleton moans that we've cheated the system.
Oi! @Dazzler21 ...you need to add 'em to your in the know list.
Perhaps the Cowleys have had the nous and awareness to get Pompey into the play offs, whereas Adkins has still to find his feet at CAFC .. his recent selections have been eccentric to put it mildly .. too late now BUT I feel the Cowleys would have been a far better bet for us IF they had either been approached or wanted the job

Turned us down for Pompey
Wanted his brother as number two .. TS wanted Jackson and Euell as the back room team
it’s ridiculous to compare both jobs Pompey are a team that have hardly changed for 2/3 years .. we are still 2 years away from having a settled team and still playing catch up .....
Having watched us being given a lesson in how to play football by Crewe, only to select three centre-backs and two geriatrics for the crucial Accrington game I was content to snooze in the garden and miss what was guaranteed to be a turgid and frustrating borefest.
What on earth has happened since the Plymouth and Posh performances when we were really impressive?
Why were Matthews and Purrington dropped when they have both been outstanding?
Why is Chuks kept on the bench when he always looks like scoring- what are we saving him for....Christmas?
Why is Pearce retained when Innis and Famweo are much better and both fit?
Why do we select loanees over our own young players like Morgan who we will need to use next season?
I just cant see any value in not even trying to win a game, not selecting our best players, or leaving out our own players at this stage of the season. I certainly don't feel any obligation to watch it.
To think some on here thought that Lee Bowyer was negative.
1-3
Chuks to score a consolation goal after coming on in the 78th minute Pratley to be booked Watson to walk about aimlessly Maatsen to look lost and cut inside on his left foot everytime he receives the ball Pearce to engage in mud wrestling Millar to glide past players only fail to deliver one decent cross Stockley to bravely win 111 headers for no reason whatsoever
If ever a convincing argument for differentiation between 'lol in agreement' and 'lol in disagreement' buttons were needed, this is it.
Has Appleton got Covid...? Seems to be coughing & sputtering a lot.
I reckon we should call the game off due to not wanting to risk our players.
Again, why am I not able to like and laugh at something. It's a rather miserable minded person who only laughs at things they don't like or disagrees with.
Of course it matters muttley cafc if we go hung ho from the first minute with no midfielder getting tackles in and winning the ball we could be a goal down to a good lincoln side inside the first 10 minutes and the dreams over. We have to get3 points tonight that’s why l would pick the side in my previous comments which IMO is a balanced attacking side.if on the hour we’re drawing then that’s the time to go hung ho have 4 upfront and go for it because then we’d have nothing to lose but the most important thing is claiming 3points.win tonight’s match, then we have no choice but to go gung ho in the hull match as nothing less than 6points wii do, and hope Portsmouth and Oxford lose and both their games are far from easy.
