What could be more of an indictment of the recruitment policy that Watson and Pearce are in 7 games in, with no injury crisis!!. Desperate.

And five of our new signings are on the bench.

Why drop Famewo? I mean it’s a strong bench ; but like others have said Watson and Morgan?

Because he keeps kicking the fucking ball off the pitch. One of the most understandable changes in this XI

And you think Pierce is better?

I mean Pearce's kicks usually remain on the pitch.

Mainly removing the legs of the opposing striker for a pen!!!

Pearce suffered by comparison to the Nabster but he's so much better on the ball than Famewo

Famewo is comfortable enough on the ball, and can carry it forward and beat a man from time to time. Trouble is he thinks he can pass, and he cannot. In fact his distribution is among the worst I've seen from a regular starting defender for Charlton.

I think it's a good team apart from the CM pair, and then it isn't a good team

How long before we start to lump balls up to Davidson ? I give it 15 minutes

That's what I meant tbf - he does have some running in him

Stinks of desperation that.

In September FFS!

leaking the team was an absolute masterstroke as there's no way Gillingham would have thought that line up was genuine, we're gonna catch them unawares

I will get the stream but wish I wouldn't bother getting the bloody stream.

ForeverAddickted

Isnt going to be 4-4-2 the way Adkins is talking

Sounds like Lee will be in the gap between Davison and Morgan / Watson with Washington and CBT out wide

Killarahales

After Cheltenham I commented that Albie and Watson should never be in the same starting line up again, but here we go. For the first time I think Adkins must be at risk of the sack.

Southendaddick

Adkins digging his own grave

I’ve worked with loads of people like him, bullshit bingo talks a lot and nothing absolutely nothing that inspires

 Nice bloke but when we lose tonight he needs to be gone 

KettsJohn

It's ok all, Nigel is looking and sounding chipper and very excited about Ben P playing.

I thought this was a league match. Didn’t realise Gillingham was our Papa John’s Trophy group … 😮‍💨🙄

Na much prefer Daniel Craig.......

Here was me thinking we might go 4-4-2 and put Lee & CBT on the wings.

I assumed the leaked team was for the match at Erith & Belvedere tomorrow night.

The pace at CB is frightening……

Christ, this thread. White flags going up all over the shop.

Bob Lee is spot on, it's bravery.  Haven't got a set of bollocks between them.

Even @Happy Valley must be having a re-think

CM is such a crucial area for a team that gets passed around by the opposition, doesn't protect the back four or link up with the attack - doesn't matter how good the front 2 or 3 are if we lose control of the midfield. 

Someone please explain what Watson brings to the team?

I’ll do the same but I’m livid I’ve got to potentially watch  Morgan run around on grass again for 90mins, Pearce is probably due a penalty concession aswell!! 😤

Wasn’t that the team that was leaked 👀 

Yes. Spot on. 

And I thought it was a joke!

It's alright Kelman signed for us, Colin said so.

Could work. Forward line looks more mobile. Albie's strength is the ability to pick a pass. With Davison, Washington and Lee, plus CBT out wide, he has far more options than he has had recently.
