    1-0 to us, Godden. Idk why but have a feeling we'll win this one and it'll turn our form around. No, I've not been on the beers.

    We lose if Jones selects last weeks team. A plus is that Brum will probably attack us, as we  are at our worst trying to open up defensive teams. Might get a hard fought draw, so I'll go for 1-1.

    We will get battered 

    0-3

    Some of NJs signings are looking crap.

    I love the blind optimism.

    They will batter us.

    Realistically Birmingham should beat us by 2 clear goals. They have the best squad in the league by a mile and have outrageously outspent us. 

    I'll say 3-0 Brum, but also have a sneaky feeling we could get a 1 nil also. 

    Still going to be an intriguing game. This is the game where I am expecting to see the biggest skill gap between ourselves and another league 1 team.

    If Birmingham are playing 1 up front we do not need 3 cbs 
    they play 4231 with their ‘10’ actually being a striker (May/Dykes) who pushes on a lot when not dropping to receive the ball

    They basically play with a front 5 when they’ve got the ball. We need 5 at the back for this game

    A win tomorrow would be typically Charlton, its the way we do things and why we love the club - 2-0.

    Hold on sm!

    You have interrupted this dirge of a thread with a ray of optimism...

    I am frankly a little ruffled by this turn of events and have resorted to my comfort blanket.

    Best form of defence is attack.

    Take the game to them - get them on the back foot. Play a front 3 of Kanu, Godden & Leaburn. Midfield 3 of Coventry, Taylor & Docherty. Defence of Ramsey, Mitchell, Jones & Edwards. 

    Go for goals. Better to lose 4-2 than 2-0.

    Images of the coliseum spring to mind where we are definitely not the lions….

    I'd have to agree with that TC Chucks and Leaburn on the hour and you'd hope we'd at least cause a few problems for Brum.

    Have you ever seen him and Miles Leaburn in the same room?
  • You don`t win anything with a vastly different eleven every game.

    We've moved down to Ramsgate and have some house renovation work going on over the weekend, so I've had to cancel this week's visit to church (The Valley) it's probably the only time I'll happily do so as I genuinely do not fancy us at all tomorrow, especially after the piss poor showing on Tuesday. 
  • From what I can see on here, no-one will be there tomorrow apart from me and 5k Gobby Brummies... 🙄

    Unfortunately I'll be there. 
    It's what I've  been doing since 1966.

    Why the fuck did my late uncle support Charlton instead of Arsenal or Man utd or whatever.

    Gordon Ottershaw will be there. Not sure about Eric Olthwaite though.
