    Bit of a premature closure of the other thread. I was halfway through a post!

    9 players from the youf side so no loss of confidence if we lose and a a huge boost to the squad if we do well/win.

    Sound management. COYR!

    And actually, that's not a bad looking side.
  • i can't work out who is playing where!! I'm assuming jacko and dijksteel are the full backs with aribo and Charles-cook the holding midfielders? Or will cc be right back and dijksteel in midfield

    A stronger bench than the last round. Interesting that he's given himself the option of bringing on Josh, when you would have thought you'd want to keep him fresh for Saturday.

    Phillips
    Dijksteel, Konsa, Sarr, Jackson
    Charles- Cook, Aribo
    Fosu, Clarke,Ahearne- Grant
    Novak

    I predicted the team on the other thread as being like this:
    Phillips
    Dijksteel, Konsa, Sarr, Jackson
    RCC, Aribo
    Fosu, Clarke, KAG
    Novak

    I stand by that being the formation. Dijksteel and RCC could swap and it might be an idea to give them a half in each position. I think KR see's Dijksteel as back up RB to Solly now, hence why I think he will start there.

    Agreed, think it's crazy to play both of them.

    It's ok, shows why KR mentioned wanting a winger though when we have to play both Clarke and Fosu.

    Also still think we are a little weak at FB as he clearly doesn't trust Barnes and Jackson is no LB.

    Clarke is so important to us at the moment with Reeves not being match fit
    Big mistake playing him imo

    Not sure JJ is the greatest full back in the world. Hopefully he'll be in midfield.

    Agreed, I would have played:
    Phillips
    Dijksteel, Konsa, Sarr, Barnes
    Aribo, Jackson
    RCC, Fosu, KAG
    Novak/Reeco

    I've got a horrible feeling it won't be long until Norwich put their fastest player against him.

    Regardless of whether or not Reeves is match fit Clarke is important to us.

    "With Johnnie Jackson expected to play left back, a late change for Narridge as @Dazzler21 is drafted in to match up with the experienced Charlton stalwart 's slow twitch fibres..."

    Even more so when there is literally no replacement for him at the minute though. Still think Stewart is worth a 6 month deal or someone like him.

    Teams coming out.

    When the Red Red Robin
    Goes bob bob bobbin’
    Along, along,
    There’ll be no more sobbin’
    As he keeps throbbin’
    His old, sweet song,
    Wake up! Wake up, you sleepy head.
    Get up! Get up get out of bed.
    Cheer up! Cheer up, the sun is red.
    Live, love, laugh and be happy!

    What if I feel blue?
    I’ll go walking through
    Fields of flowers.
    Rain may glisten, but still I listen
    For hours, and hours.
    I’m like a kid again,
    Doing what I did again,
    Singing this song,
    When the Red Red Robin
    Goes bob bob bobbin’ along!
