  • I find it odd so many are leaving Washington out.
  • For those moaning about the leaking of lineups, we're playing Steve Evans' Gillingham, not some tactical mastermind, i doubt it will make a blind bit of difference.

    Southgate's England teams were leaked by our press a day before every single Euro match and i'm quite sure it had no effect on the outcomes at all.

    It’s the correct team sheet. That’s what will start tomorrow.
    Really?

    You and @VFR4life could fairly be accused of being traitors to the club then, couldn't you?

    Indeed - but I don’t believe them 
    VFR got it spot on an hour before the team got announced on Saturday.

    Dont have issue with those two so much - Its more the person @ the club thats a bit of a concern
    Might be a ploy by the club to smoke out whoever is leaking stuff. Give person x a fictitious line up & see if gets put on SM.

    If it was correct yesterday I bet it wont be by 6.45pm. I'll be just pulling into Gillingham station then so will be interested to see if Adkins has got a 2nd wind & decided to change it.

    That's it underestimate your opponents.

    Not underestimating them at all, i think they'll beat us.

    My point is i doubt the 'leaking' of our lineup will have any bearing on the result.

    Anyone got any parking suggestions?? 
    You could park down on the Strand...? - https://www.medway.gov.uk/strand

    Really easy to get to and from if you need to get back to the A2

    You've then got about a 5min / 0.9mile walk up to the Ground itself


    That's 5 mins by car. Walking from there would probably take you 15 mins......mostly uphill. Whenever we've gone by car we've parked the river side of the train line, in one of the side roads on the right as you look at that map.

    This year, like the last one we were allowed to go to, we are going by train. 33 mins direct from Swanley. If things start getting even worse I might have to start supporting the Gills as it's a bloody lot easier to get to. 
  • If I got my tickets in extra allocation, am I not in the usual away stand?
  • 1 mile uphill would probably be 20 mins for an average joe, slower for a less than average joe.

    Most posters do not seem concerned the team has been leaked, the concern is coming from the names on the team sheet.

    FFS!!... Cheers Golfie, I was baffled as to why it thought nearly a mile would be such a quick walk

    Twice in quick succession I've had to agree with you Golfie can we stop making it a habit?

    Agreed though, hopefully its a ploy from the club to try and smoke them out - Wouldnt be surprised if Adkins has decided to change it now anyway (if aware) given the fact that the leak went out so early.

    Our in-bred Millwallesque element love this one.

    Guarantee there will be a hell of a lot more damage to the stand come 10pm tonight - after an afternoon/evening on the gear and strong lager!

  • If Evans has watched any of our recent outings he'll realise it doesn't make any difference what our starting 11 is.
  • The trains from victoria to Gillingham are up the swanny . Hopefully they will sort it out , but 40 min delays at the moment.

    Why are we arguing about who starts then. Atkins has got it right. Pick two sides - one for Saturday and one for Tuesday so players are not tired and avoid picking up unnecessary injuries. Simples.😉

  • I doubt he has actually decided yet who to play.  :)

    All conspiracy theory aside he has consistently indicated managing players fitness is still an issue so it will be a different team regardless (as it needs to be).

    Of most interest is whether he does see fit to move Stockley to the bench to force the rest into paying the ball out more.

    𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 | We have been made aware that one lane of the Medway Tunnel, in both directions, will be closed this evening which will have an impact on both sets of fans if driving to the ground.
    We would advise allowing an extra 10-15 mins to complete your journey.

    Ha, traitors to the club! Behave yourself. Who are you, the Gestapo? 

    I confirmed I’d heard exactly the same thing about the team playing against Gillingham. It’s not from a secret inside source, I heard it from a plasterer! He certainly doesn’t have any inside info, for all I know he read it on here. 
     
    It’s interesting to see the 180 flip regarding leaks. It was only a couple of weeks ago most were on their knees begging for transfer leaks from @VFR4life. I don’t recall any concern about it back then? 

    If you encouraged transfer leaks but don’t want to hear about team sheets, it would unbecoming to take the moral high ground.
    So when you confirmed that was the team that would be playing, you were in fact totally clueless. I believe you.
  • IF Stockley is dropped tonight, we’ll miss his presence in defence heading away the Gills corners 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Maybe it might remind our defence to defend.

    Mate, is everything okay? There’s really no need for animosity over such trivial things. 

    Acting needlessly combative on the internet isn’t healthy for anyone.

    These miss the point.  Regardless of what you think of Adkins, how would you like it if it was someone in your place of work leaking confidential stuff relating to your role?  Of course, it’s only Gillingham and I doubt very much them knowing our team will do much to alter the result (it may help Gillingham though).  As for transfers, you’re conflating two separate issues.  Leaks and insights into possible players coming in/out is very much part of the business of transfers.  Letting the public know of likely team line ups 24 hours ahead of a game is taking the piss with an obligation/professional duty of care whoever is in the know signs up for,  when they are employed by Charlton.  Doesn’t sit right with me personally 
    Hear hear - well said

    I wasn't delayed half hour ago.

    Leaking transfer rumours is something that'll be done by Rich Cawley etc.

    Would never imagine him tweeting the starting line up if he was made privy to it the day before
