My tickets never arrived, phoned the ticket office and they have duplicated the tickets to pick up at Crewe. Good service from the ticket office. I was concerned about picking up the tickets at Crewe, so I phoned their ticket office about picking up the tickets. A lovely woman( not lady!) assured me that the away ticket office opens at 17.00 and that I will be able to pick up my tickets from them. Good service , both from the Valley ticket office and the Crewe end.
@altrinchamaddick I guess you’re familiar with Crewe’s ground but if not the Away ticket booth is behind the Whitby Morrison Ice Cream Van Stand…….. seriously! where we will be located. You’ll find this facing you as you approach the ground walking up Gresty Road from the station and next to the ‘corner bar’.
I think Washington will be back, and I hope I’m right because we can’t score.
Somehow tomorrow, we will scrape a 1-0 win.
P.S. copyright alert ! terrace chant credit has to go to Spurs I’m afraid. “What’s that coming over the hill is it Chimbonda, is it Chimbonda”(remember him).
@AFKABartram I am sure will remember as it went onto Charlton Life Twitter. I wrote it a couple of years ago and never heard of Spurs singing that version.
Going up more in hope than expectation of Stockley and Washington are still out. Would have thought we'd be too good for Crewe even without them, but just don't know who scores.
This is a game we should win but the problem is that we don't have any goals in us at the moment and you can't win matches if you don't score. The Norwich game was a fine example, plenty of possession but apart from a couple of long range efforts we hardly troubled the keeper. Nonetheless I will go for 1-0 win for us
It slightly worries me that Jacko has only one formation we can play with, and only certain players he trusts, especially as it's not as if recent results have been that great anyway - - first 5 games, 4 wins and a draw - last 5 games, 2 wins and 3 defeats
Morgan for example seems to have been written off by Jacko and many fans here, but at some point should surely be given some game time instead of flogging Gilbey and Lee to death. Watson looked pretty sharp against MKD in the Pizza Cup game and could also do a job. Not both, but one of them instead of either Gilbey or Lee for example.
Indeed if we lose the next 2 games, there's a strong case for playing our 1st eleven in the Pizza Cup, rather than the backup players.

Morgan did do ok when he came on and did what was needed but age is against him and he cant play at any kind of tempo required for a pressing game. You say Morgan seems to have been written off and I think you are right, imo he must be a really frustrating player as I would think he looks a class act in training spraying balls around, the trouble is in a match he needs too much time on the ball and just cant replicate it, if we have to rely on either of them for anything other than a sub appearance late in a game we are bang in trouble

Lose this and our season really is looking like mid-table mediocrity.
We could win our next 5 and the season is still mid-table mediocrity. Expectation was to be promoted this season, there’s no pride in finishing 7th or 8th.

Make yourselves heard as you always do.

But the Innis one is great, let's get it going.
it's all about the pizza cup now
If I could, I’d change my squad graphic and have Washington up top with Leko, Burstow on the bench instead of Davison.

Defensively we look excellent it’s just creating and taking chances.
