    Lennon on the left of the back four with Chicksen in front of him.

    442 with Aribo on the other side.

    Who is Teixeira? Never heard of him.

    All sorts of ways that 11 could line up.

    Phillips
    Konsa Johnson Tex Lennon
    Foley Crofts Aribo Chicksen
    Hanlan Ajose

    I think that's the most likely one.

    Foley and chicksen wing backs, 3 centre halves with konsa the defensive midfielder? With 2 of our 3 wingers (maybe the third) all missing on Saturday, maybe trying a new formation for swindon

    Looking at that line-up I think Slade is right pushing the boat out in such an important game
  • Is it 5 first teamers in Starting 11 or 5 to just play?

    Jacko was never going to play. Need him Sat with the call ups and Holmes a doubt.
  • I would guess it is 5-3-2 with konsa and chicksen as wingbacks and foley in midfield.

    I thought you have to start a strong line up with at least 5 1st team starters??

    We've triggered Tex's appearance fee in the most important competition of our season. Well done Slade, money well spent. ;-)

    Isn't it 5/6 players must have featured in the last league game or will feature in the next, to avoid the crippling £5k fine?

    Will try to establish a patchwork match thread later. Cooking right now.

    There's probably a clause in the contract to say that it has to be League games to count!

    Is there even commentary for this or have they not bothered going either?

    Slade would have been nursing a semi when he handed that team sheet in! 4 centre backs, a left back and 2 defensive midfielders. He's found his football utopia.

    He's not fielding 2 goalies on the pitch with one on the bench though.

    That would be the nirvana.

    On Facebook the club says it's 5-3-2 with Chicksen and Konsa as wingbacks. For me it would surely make far more sense to play with Konsa in central midfield and Foley as the wingback given Foley is a right/wing back by trade and Konsa played has played a lot in central midfield. But what do I know.

    Nice little distraction from the US election.

    Millwall and Luton both give the EFL the middle finger and make 9 changes apiece. Good on them.

    I am getting commentary on Charlton Player my experiment will fail because dictation on here cuts out the commentary I was going to try to dictate.
    For this evening it will be casual posts on this thread.

    Seeing that team,
    you would need to play
    3-5-2, with Johnson as the middle CB and Lennon and Tex either side.
    Foley and Crofts as the centre mid with Aribo as the attacking midfield behind Ajosie and Hanlan, with the wing backs of Konsa and Chicksen working their socks off in defense, mid field and getting in crosses.

    May depend on the team Colchester put out to see if it works.

    We've lined up in a 3-5-2 formation here, with Ezri Konsa and Adam Chicksen occupying wing-back berths. #cafc

    Chicksen heavily involved in an attack just then.
    Charlton have the early play.
