Addicks v's Sheff Wednesday match thread 19/3/16 {...}

Afternoon folks and welcome to today's match thread. Well what a week it has been! A great 2-0 win over Boro, an extremely well supported mock funeral, game disruptions, lots of worldwide media coverage and just when you thought it was all over - it wasn't!!
Out came 2 statements......The first one saying that CAFC ownership wants to work with the fans, which was I presume put together by our comms team (including Mel Baroni), then THAT statement which made headlines around the world for all the wrong reasons, and our, newly appointed, Head of Comms, the aforementioned Mel, promptly quit, that followed the other resignation of John Little (Stadium safety officer).
So it is against that backdrop that the squad will be trying to get 3 points against a very strong Wendies side. A win for us will make it 10 points out of 12 and the potential to close the gap on those above us, which will lead us into the international break with renewed hope. A draw or a loss will, at this stage of the season, make it extremely difficult to avoid the drop. Today is a MASSIVE day in more ways than one!!!
I'll bring you the teams as soon as I have them, but sources are saying that Cousins may well be out of the side today through injury, but that Diarra, JJ and Igor maybe back.

COYR's!!!

    Is that a changing room? It looks more like the local scout hut.

    Squad will be Pope, Mitov, Yun, Jackson, Gudmundsson, Cousins, Makienok, Harriott, Diarra, Vetokele, Fanni, Reza, Ba, Lennon, Lookman, Motta, Teixeira and possibly Solly?

    Good interview. Got all the major points across with great responses to the questions put to him. Nice work @Airman Brown
  • Igor is definitely in the squad as his kit was laid out in an earlier photo posted on twitter

  • No Cousins... Wonder whats happened to him.

    In a way am glad that Reza is playing as for me his best performance in a Charlton shirt was in the Home fixture

    You have to laugh. Lookman had his run out on TV last week, now back on the bench.

    looking at their team and then comparing it to ours ... :flushed:
    Harriot and reza vs mcgeady, hooper and Forestieri!

    Trouncing comes to mind!
  • You have to laugh. Lookman had his run out on TV last week, now back on the bench.

    Have to disagree with you there Ricky... Didnt think this would be a match for him, out of the two felt Reza was more effective against Middlesbrough than Lookman

    I can't have Reza at all mate. He is absolutely awful. (Going to cover that now and have a few quid on him 1st scorer.
  • Reza coming in for Lookman is a hateful thought

    You mean a trouncing like what they gave us when they came to the Valley when we started with Reza that day?
