    Sorry to hear that @Oggy Red. I will endeavour to deputise if not necessarily to your usual high standards. Thanks for the heads up @RedChaser.

    Jackson's position and Charlton's attempt to reignite their season may be defined by the next three games. Rotherham, Burton and Plymouth are as tough as it gets, take seven points from nine and there is a good chance we can get close to the play off positions by Christmas. Prediction, two one to the addicks.

    Did not realise that Richie Barker, former assistant to Robinson at CAFC and former Sheffield Weds striker, is Charlie Barker’s old man.

    Were Rotherham the first team we played under Floodlights at the Valley ?

    This post just reminded me, Did our floodlights  get switched on against Donny ?

    To be fair, the scale of the scoreline may have had something to do with the sending off. It will be an interesting game.

    Quite possibly it was 3-1 when McGeady got sent off.

    Except the time we replaced Luzon with Frayere

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Matthews or Clare in for Jaiyesimi, just to protect the defence a little more.

    Otherwise I'd change diddly squat


    I agree. DJ did a good job but came under no  pressure. Clare or Matthews would still give us some attacking threat but would help to keep Rotherham out. If we had to attack to get a result then DJ or CBT could come on later.
    I think this may be a bit of a backs to the wall game. If we can keep them out for an hour we may get a result, but concede an early goal then I think we'd be done for.
    Should be a good game.

    Last time we played Rotherham we won 3-1, this was Bowyer 3rd game in caretaker manager. Tomorrow is Jacko's third so hoping history will repeat itself.

    Play Matthews, a man who can barely cross, as our sole right flank presence? That'd be both cowardly and stupid. DJ is a confidence player; he'll be confident, let him at Rotherham

    Maybe give Elliott Lee a rest for this one, play Watson, really shore things up, plus he can do headers when they win corners like when he won the FA Cup but at the other end

    Harry Arter’s back in training and will be available soon 😉

    Bring him in for Washington. Give us some real tenacity and nip when their defenders have the ball

    Very tough opposition on a great run.  Win this and expectations will start to shift a little towards a chance of doing more than reaching mid table.

    Toughest game ever. Play everybody 6ft plus including all our youth team goalkeepers as defenders.

    Rotherham have proper wingbacks who have played in that position all season. DJ has played wingback for an hour (probably in his whole career) against the worst team in the division against whom he had to do no defending.
    But why not let him be destroyed, it will do his fragile confidence the world of good. Or ma ybe play Kirk there, also a confidence player.

    Most of them, big us up before they lose to us or draw and they've made their excuses beforehand lowering expectations. Beat us or draw then big us up and it makes their result even more of an achievement. 😉

    Good write-up Sage, but I think he will keep Elerewe on the bench

    That's why Deji didn't play for U23 today.

    Pretty sure he's played the role for Swindon. And Gunter would be an extra line of defence if they were attacking down that side...

    Playing THE in form team wont be easy, especially midweek under lights. It's been a good few years since we last won one of those (in front of a crowd). If we do happen to win then I'll be singing along with Davy Jones, but sadly I fear that my singing talents will have to remain unheard.

    0-2.

    It has been an impressive turn around under Jacko but I think this one comes to early for what he is trying to achieve. Plenty of effort from the boys but we'll fall short. 1-2 home loss unfortunately. Hope I'm proved wrong!

    Looking forward to this. Midweek kick off, the clocks changed. So sensible kick off time for a change. Win lose or draw doesn't matter if we battle the way we have the last two games.

    I heard he was out for 10 months with cruciate ligament damage.

    Cope with Smith and we have a chance.
