We 'll slaughter pompey and Blackburn and cock up v Rochdale....it is written1

I think we need 2 wins and a draw so still a lot to do.0

I am hoping history does not repeat itself In 1958-59 we needed a draw at home to blackburn to go up to the old div 1 we lost 4-3 after taking the lead.(I may be a year out).They went up instead.I have never forgotten the utter desolation I felt on the way home that day so to come this far now and not reach the play offs would be difficult to take.\we have beaten 3 top 6 teams now no reason not to continue this,especially after last night result.3

I can see Konsa holding his place in the side. He added a bit of dynamism. But Bowyer will also want to play Reeves. And Marshall's very good at protecting the full back. JFC has been looking very good.
The next team selection will be tricky.0 -
I would be tempted to leave it us at is but replace Marshall with Reeves, he still offers great work rate and defensive cover but offers so much more going forward. The rest of the team can stay the same.JamesSeed said:I can see Konsa holding his place in the side. He added a bit of dynamism. But Bowyer will also want to play Reeves.

It’s the hope that kills you!
Well done boys1 -
I shared your pain back then but it was 57/58 mate and we only needed a draw to go straight back up after being relegated from the top flight the previous season after 15 seasons (no competition during the war years). No one said being a Charlton fan would be easy......Que Sera Serathickandthin63 said:I am hoping history does not repeat itself In 1958-59 we needed a draw at home to blackburn to go up to the old div 1 we lost 4-3 after taking the lead.(I may be a year out).They went up instead.I have never forgotten the utter desolation I felt on the way home that day so to come this far now and not reach the play offs would be difficult to take.\we have beaten 3 top 6 teams now no reason not to continue this,especially after last night result.

Nullify Pitman (easier said than done i know) and we could scrape a result. Hopefully there confidence has been knocked a bit and start the game slower than we do.
Do we start Mag or Zyro ( i know hes been poor last couple but can imagine his fitness isnt up to scratch with how long he was out for).
Personally would go for Mag and Ajose/Mavididi feeding off his hold up play.
Either way bring on Saturday!! Looking forward to it!!2 -
I'd definitely go with Magennis... Dont see the point in dropping a Striker after they've just scored.king addick said:Nullify Pitman (easier said than done i know) and we could scrape a result. Hopefully there confidence has been knocked a bit and start the game slower than we do.

Would still put Ajose in ahead of Mavididi, the former chases a lot more lost causes and will put Defenders under pressure more0 - Sponsored links:

I think we have to have Fosu and Mav starting and Magennis works best with that set up.0

Depending on any knocks / fatigue I'd stick with same team and I think Bowyer is of the same mind set 'If ain't broke don't fix it' as evidenced by his initial three match winning run.2

Can anyone explain to me the two dismal performance against Wimbledon and Scunthorpe in the light of the other Lee Bowyer results and performances ?
It’s baffling.

Yes but it's football. I bet you had some bad days at work mate, I know I didShootersHillGuru said:Can anyone explain to me the two dismal performance against Wimbledon and Scunthorpe in the light of the other Lee Bowyer results and performances ?

Possibly a mental attitude, possibly behind the scenes uncertainty, who knows but whatever it was they got the message prior to kick off from Bowyer last night 'Sh*t or bust lads, its your call'..............and they stepped up to the plate

Good point actually...Mavi would be good if we needed a goal in the last 15 against tired defenders.ForeverAddickted said:

Like the others Shrewsbury needed a result against us so had to attack us to get that goal... For once we sat back and invited them to break us down for a change.ShootersHillGuru said:Can anyone explain to me the two dismal performance against Wimbledon and Scunthorpe in the light of the other Lee Bowyer results and performances ?

Also Shrewsbury sat off us when we had the ball, giving us the time and space to pass it about effectively. Whereas Wimbledon and Scunthorpe didnt give us that luxury and closed the space down at every opportunity0 -
Not so baffling. We lack true goalscorers. Plymouth were full of confidence and came to beat us - big mistake - Northampton were rubbish - Wimbledon were a team of big donkeys - one of the least skillful in the league, but when we attacked they always had at least two more bodies in their own box and we don't have the players to ping one in from 30 yards - we gifted them their goal. Scunthorpe were a better side, but they kept to the same blueprint. It is our big problem - to beat us, you need to stop us - it is a big mistake to go toe to toe with us.
We do need to formulate a plan to play against this - I would personally swap a central defender for an attacking midfielder - we have to get bodies in the box to use opponents tactics against them.
Having said that - Pompey need to beat us on Saturday and Blackburn have enough ability to play to win against us. Rochdale will probably play to stop us.
One thing I liked about yesterday was we got the ball forwards more quickly with less meaningless safe passing.2 -
Id be shocked if Dasilva didnt start ahead of Page... Dijksteel could also be rested with Konsa filling in at RB with either Kashi or Reeves starting.RedChaser said:Depending on any knocks / fatigue I'd stick with same team and I think Bowyer is of the same mind set 'If ain't broke don't fix it' as evidenced by his initial three match winning run.
Dijksteel starting two games in a row at RB is definitely against what Bowyer has been doing of late1 - Sponsored links:

6 Points would be enough....as long as 3 of those are against Portsmouth.Callumcafc said:
Absolutely this. If we don't make it people will point to the three games under Bowyer. Easy to forget the mid season disaster under the previous bloke...LargeAddick said:a great result and really put the cat back amongst the pidgeons. Still need a minimum of seven points from the remaining nine and then just pray. All nine would do it. Still think we will fall just short but at least we are making a fist of it whilst a few weeks ago a top ten finish looked the best we could hope for. If only KR had gone a month sooner.

I don't rate Dasilva as a defender - Page may be a more limited footballer but is more reliable defensively.ForeverAddickted said:

I think Da Silva is decent but Page has done well since regaining his fitness. Good to have cover and options.2

We didn’t try and pass out from the back. Strategy was get it up front quick and let our skilful players cause problems in final third.ShootersHillGuru said:Can anyone explain to me the two dismal performance against Wimbledon and Scunthorpe in the light of the other Lee Bowyer results and performances ?

Until Page came back from injury I was worried about our Left-Back prospects for next season as regardless of the League I'd be surprised if Dasilva was to come back for a third timeMuttleyCAFC said:I think Da Silva is decent but Page has done well since regaining his fitness.

Now we've seen what Lewis can truly do I dont mind so much
Still think he'd be better cover for Fosu than what we've currently gothoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Da Siva or Page at the moment are just the sort of headaches a Manager can suffer . 1

Makes a lot of sense. I felt that the reason we didn't create more chances against Scunthorpe was that we weren't direct enough.Dippenhall said:

Fosu didn't have his best game yesterday, but he was instrumental in our victory. He is a special talent and Shrewsbury were fouling him constantly - the ref let too many go but our first was from a free-kick after a foul on Fosu.
If we are playing just Mav they double up on him, if we are playing just Fosu they double up on him, but they can't double up on both. And then Magennis gives you some balance bullying them a bit.
I would like to see League One refs protect skilful players a bit more than they do. Yes it would suit us so I may be biased, but the game is football and skill is what it should be about surely.8 -
Top support that - good on youclive said:
