Was told that Jones wanted to bring Wickham and Aneke off the bench after 65 minutes but the EFL blocked it on the grounds of cruelty to defenders.
I hope we do see more of Wickham, perhaps starting with May, and they having Kanu and Aneke fresh to come on after an hour.
Having such as fit squad is a novelty for any recent Charlton manager but I don't expect many changes. Jones in for Hector or Thomas, perhaps.
Really want to see Coventry step up. A very neat and tidy player, moves the ball well but not seeing many goals or assists, as yet. Maybe tonight.
As much as I'm enjoying not losing, unbeaten runs are a bit meaningless as it is points that matter and too many of the games in this run have been draws.
Unbeaten runs are also of little value now, when the season is as good as over. Good for confidence in the team and for the fans but let's see us go 11 unbeaten at the start of next season.
Wigan's season is over and they aren't in good form so I'm expecting another open game with plenty of chances at both ends so 0 - 0 it is.
He’s our holding midfielder? If you’re waiting for him to start getting regular goal contributions you are going to be waiting a while. He’s got 1 goal and 3 assists in his whole career, that’s not his job
Wigan's manager is the sort who changes half the team every game so there's no guarantee Sean Clare will start (or even play) but I know he's travelled. I hope he gets an appreciative welcome and goes on to be on the losing side.
The battle for 12th place heats up. Not a fan of Wigan usually because they often beat us and finish higher in the table. But they do play football so credit where its due and the match should be good. Honours even, 1-1.
Good review as ever Sage, though you're being a bit harsh on Shaun Maloney in a season where Wigan have had 8 points deducted. To keep them comfortably midtable is a decent job.
He’s done well to get them where they are, I just see him as very mediocre and his record in general is nothing aspiring. With that, I don’t see them as challengers next season. There have been some shocking teams in this league this season and with some of the quality Wigan have, it’s not a surprise to me that they got themselves out of it. But credit to him for getting them away from trouble early on.
