This time last week Nigel was telling us how everything had gone up a notch on the training ground and that turned out excellently
Well I’m blowed he’s even had a look at the fixture list and knows what games are coming up and recommending we listen to Gobinson! Can’t be doing with any more blah, blah, blah just start winning games 😏.
None of the 11 that started last Saturday deserve to start this, certainly not the ten outfield players. Unfortunately about 7, at least, of them almost have to play.
I would consider going 3/5 at the back and bringing Pearce in because we seriously lack leadership and this is going to be a battle.
Assuming Arter and Pape are fit to start I would go with a proper 433.
MacGillivray Matthews Levelle Famewo Pape Morgan Watson Arter Washington Stockley Leko
Harsh on Lee but we can't afford 4 attacking players. What do I think Adkins will do? Make 2 or 3 changes, depending on fitness, to personnel but keep the same shape.
We seriously need 4 points out of these 2 games, nothing suggests we will get them.

Morgan and Watson, again??? You wouldn’t take a punt on Clare instead of one or both of them and sling Lee in.

No idea how fit Clare is can you risk both him and Arter from the start? Leaving Lee in leaves us wide open again. I don't want us to play Watson and Morgan but right now I don't see we really have much choice.
Get your strongest team out, fit or not fit. I'd be happy with @BR7_addick 's line up: MacG Matthews, Lavelle, Famewo, Souare Clare, Arter Leko, Lee, Washington Stockley
Or MacG Matthews, Lavelle, Famewo, Souare Clare, Arter Kirk/DJ, Lee, Leko, Washington With Stockley a weapon from the bench.
Taking my eldest son to Nottingham uni tomorrow. Big day. Then off to Wycombe Saturday. I'm not sure which one fills me with the most dread.
Expecting to lose on Saturday anyway. 2-0? But as usual, there's always a glimmer of hope we'll witness a turnaround.
Stick Dobson in instead of Watson, he’s had a wake up call and should be out to prove a point.
Hobson's choice isn't it really.
It’s another option and the l’d plump for youth with energy and enthusiasm than an old war horse who’s legs have gone and is drawing his pension early.

That 3 in midfield will be 40 yards away from the forwards for most of the game Lee is the only one we have who could link the midfield with the forwards. He has to play as an advanced midfielder.

You have to balance that against their midfield strolling through ours and having all the time in the world.
A fully fit Arter and Gilbey will probably change that. There is no good enough 2 out of the rest.
Blimey how my expectations have changed! Always hope for a win but expect a draw at best. 1-1 backs against the wall. Hope Leko starts with Stockley up front.

Maybe, NA did say everyone is in contention except the long terms.
I watched them two for 90 minutes Saturday and it was a horror show. I’ll genuinely cop the ump if they turn up on the team sheet come Saturday.

Yup me too mate. Time to bin them both neither of them for different reasons are nowhere near good enough Watson needs to do his coaching badges and Albie needs to go a couple of leagues down. If NA persists with that pairing he deserves whatever he gets
No fecking clue what side NA will pick - I quite like the one @ForeverAddickted went for with his opening post but with Washington up front with Lee and Kirk taking Washington's place. A proper 4-4-2 with wingers & pace up front.
If we go with that or something similar then I predict a win. Have Watson and /or Gunter starting then I'll go with the majority & predict another sorry set of Addick fans come 5pm.
This will be difficult against another small ex lower league but superbly run and managed club that like us, recently found life in the Championship too tough.
I am not so much worried about the result, a draw will be a good result i m o, but more in the performance. Yet another shambolic showing by a badly selected and set up team will really be too much. I really want Adkins out, a total failure on Saturday will just serve to reinforce my opinion, a decent showing might undermine it.

Well I am certainly glad that neither of them are nowhere near good enough, that means they must be somewhere near good enough.
I don't really get the animosity to Adkins 6 games into the new season. 16 league games into his time with us.
I do admire the previews mate. If I were doing it each week by now it’d go something like “Wycombe v charlton, whatever”.
I’ve no idea how this will go down but we need something positive that’s for sure. I genuinely don’t wanna see Albie Morgan near the team. But I’ve no idea who is available and who isn’t, Arter for example? Or Clare, he wasn’t on the bench last game, left back MUST be adjusted even if he’s 80% fit Souare.

1-1 in hope more than judgement.
How is a 4231 getting 7 likes ?!
There is nothing wrong with 4231 just so long as A. You have a plan B (Karl Robinson) and B. The 3 support the 1.

Let's hope their players' minds are on a trip to the Etihad rather than a game against Charlton!
