  • I've had a miserable day working in Chicago and hit back to the country this morning straight to work.

    Never had to do that before, sucks.

    7.30 kick off?

    7.45 mate
  • We will lose this. The midfield is shocking. As others have already commented absolutely no creativity and not a great deal of pace either.

    I'm almost beyond caring these days to be honest.
  • Our season starts tonight coyr

    Oh dear we really our playing a team to try and get point against Scunthorpe. Roland Out.
  • I'm short of sleep, I reckon 0-3 Charlton with every goal being an own goal.
  • Remember when we were the premier league and we used to go away to teams at the top of the league, pack the midfield with defensive players and try and nick one on the break?

    The more things change...

    TEAM NEWS | Ricky Holmes misses out with a back injury, while Lee Novak is suffering from illness. #cafc

    I think he may actually be Darren Anderton
  • Kevin Foley will score. Twice.
  • I have a feeling we may get the dream updating team this evening.
  • That team is negative. Hoping to nick a 1-0. COYR.

  • Team could struggle if we go a goal down

    Hi @seth plum how you doing mate, are you doing opposition commentary?
  • We may have Bauer back but the midfield wont produce anything creative for the forwards. No idea what number will follow Scunthorpe but cant see anything else than a 0 after ours.
  • Evening Red.

    I expect JJ and Bauer to come in. Expect Konsa to be rested

    Expect us to lose.
  • Ademola Lookman wonder show tonight

    Mark my words
  • This does not bode well, really hope to be proven wrong, just cannot see it. We are no longer a scalp for Scunthorpe either.
  • I have a feeling Fred will score tonight
  • .......Rudd
    Solly....Bauer....Pearce....Fox
    .................Crofts

    Desperately lacking in creativity, but to be fair, who else was he meant to pick to provide creativity, especially in central midfield? We just don't have anyone who can do that. It's been a whole since the beginning of pre-season and still is. That particular problem stems from recruitment.

    I just don't get it. As @harveys gardener said, we don't have attacking fullbacks. Which, again, we don't really have (Chicksen meant to be better going forward than defending).

    I don't necessarily think it's wrong to set up to stifle a free-scoring Firewall FC side who haven't lost at home under Alexander, but the problem is we don't have "two way" players, players who can attack/create as well as defend.
  • It will be long range, on the assumption he has managed to unshackle himself from Crofts.
  • If you showed me that team at the same time last season and said it was going to be the Charlton team in a years time I would have laughed at you.

    Botaka should be given a chance.
  • I'm here to do some match thread typing, giving Seth a rest.
  • Could we be playing a 4-3-3

    Rudd
    Solly Pearce Bauer Fox

    Foley Crofts Ulvested

    Lookman JJ

    Magenis

    The way we play play more like 5-5-0
  • I didn't even realise Scunny were top of the league !
  • edited September 2016
    What a negative looking team without Holmes. And only a confidence sapped Ajose on the bench for striker subs. We ain't going up this year.
