    Depressing bench.

    At least we are starting with 2 natural strikers. About all Holden could pick tbf.

    What's that you say.....the transfer window doesn't shut for another 2 weeks. Yeah yeah....

    Anyone know who the third Charlton keeper in the warm up is?

    Camara 6-8 weeks apparently 🤦🏼‍♂️
    Where have you heard that? Club say “minor” so not sure 6-8 weeks lines up with that.
    Minor is 6-8 weeks with our medical team!

    Minor is 6-8weeks for us, what are you on about?

    Is that true?
    Hopefully just a whooosh.

    If he's young and black it's Prince Adegoke

    Can’t see Edun being in a back three. It’s definitely a four at the back. Will be interesting to see what the attacking shape looks like - could just be as simple as Kanu and CBT either side of May…
    Agree it’s unlikely, but we’ve done it before with Solly, while Walker has played the same role for England. A back three doesn’t always have three out and out CBs.

    Great to see Kanu in there, and at last a two of sorts, which could give Alfie some much needed support up top, and really feel this is the day for Alfie to get off the mark...

    Camara missing from the squad will be a big miss but I think Taylor playing with Dobson will work for some reason atleast our midfield won’t get overpowered. Also good to see Hector start hopefully we won’t be as scarey at the back

    Wigan 4-0 up at Bolton.
    Yeah, with only 5 shots on target and just 32% possession. :smile:

    You do need a fairly tall full back though, like Clare or Purrington

    Edun played in a back 3 briefly against Brizzle Rovers.

    I think it's a 433 though

    Slightly more pessimistic now than I was half hour ago. No white flag yet though. COYRs just get a win.

    Hope we're winning 3-0 by 60 minutes because that bench is doing nothing. 
    It’s not the bench that’s doing nothing but the owners and Charlie and his associates.

    Gotta be 442 - the team I picked a day or so ago other than Jones for ness - Kanu up top with May will be a breath of fresh air - game wrapped up by 65 mins which will be handy coz the bench is tripe 
  • DamoNorthStandDamoNorthStand
    That’s gutting - I actually said to my son on the way it would be CLASSIC Charlton if someone like Camara is injured today.

    Camara injured.

    Cant make it up.

    Depends what you’re trying to do, what you’re up against and how good your other two are in the air I’d say. It’s worked well for England and at times it did for us too. Jackson also used Matthews and Gunter in that way.
