STEVENAGE v CHARLTON 9/10/18 (Record victory, brilliant competition )
We have no game on the weekend .. recently our defence has been near shambolic .. this is no time to throw in the towel before the game, it's a time to try a viable back four and defensive midfield with a view towards the next few league games .. we won't have Bauer or Page for while .. full back is currently a disaster area .. put Solly back where he belongs and experiment with the left back role .. Ben Reeves ? .. give Ajose a run out else he'll get stiff and immobile on the bench .. I'm not a fan but put Phillips back in goal to see if he's improved for a rest and (hopefully) some creative coaching.
I won't be at the game, I know a few who will .. they deserve better than to travel and pay to watch a team that is not especially interested in winning and just goes through the motions or a team of kids which will be outmuscled and outkicked .. Come on you Addicks !!

Unfortunately not... I personally treat these games as U23 games so dont bother with a Preview for themLincsaddick said:I dare say that @ForeverAddickted is working on his usual masterpiece as I type .. so just a few observations ..

If people do want a preview going forward though for CheckaTrade games I can put something together6 -
Over 100 Addicks had purchased tickets for Tuesday’s game before they went off sale from The Valley.
Stevenage will be selling to Charlton fans on the night priced:
Adult: £10
Student and Over 65: £5
U12: £3
Team news
The cup tie will afford Lee Bowyer the opportunity to shuffle his pack and give some vital minutes to players who have been waiting for their opportunity in the first-team picture, as well as those who are making a return from injury such as Kristyian Bielik and Jamie Ward, who the Addicks' boss confirmed would appear.
Bowyer has also confirmed that Nicky Ajose, Igor Vetokele and Mark Marshall will all feature at the Lamex Stadium.<</i>i>

thanks Clive .. I read your piece on another post but only after I posted this one .. let's hope that it's not just change for change's sake and that Bowyer is 'planning for the future'clive said:Over 100 Addicks had purchased tickets for Tuesday’s game before they went off sale from The Valley.

Effectively Lee is treating this like a "stiffs" match, and as a result several senior players will be featuring. I imagine we'll look quite strong up front, it would be nice if Igor and Ajose could score.3

10 minutes down the road so I shall be there . Couldn’t give a stuff about the actual competition but when Charlton are playing on your own back yard you have to go.6

Mascoll came off the bench last night so could still play in theory although the trip to Sunderland and back on the day is hardly the best preparation.
Phillips
Dijksteel Sarr Pratley
Marshall Bielic Lapslie Morgan Ward
Agose Vetokele2 -
Bielik is now on International Duty with Poland U21s2
-
If Charlton do lose tonight they've got one foot out of the competition
As means we'll need to beat Swansea U21s in our final game and for some reason hope (I dont know why we'd want to advance to the next ound) that AFC Wimbledon lose against Stevenage0 -
Sarr Dijk and Pratley on the right of the three tonight2

I think it's more than that though. Igor and Ajose could do with some match time, as opposed to 10 minute cameos off the benchHenry Irving said:

I think the club should ignore the competition and we should do the same complete farce unneeded games that only benefit the prem clubs to give there u23 sides a game1
-
Give those who need a game a game, but we can't risk injury - particularly at the moment to Solly Pearce or even Sarr2

The page views for this thread will soon be exceeding the attendance3

15 mins from me on a train and I still don't bother0

What about if it was 5 minutes on the train and someone offered to pay you £50? I would see your point if you still said no.shine166 said:15 mins from me on a train and I still don't bother

I was once part of a crowd of six in the away end for a pre-season friendly at Stevenage. It's 20 minutes from me, but I'm going to stay in and watch Bake Off. (I'm actually blaming myself for this, rather than Roland. I just can't be bothered.)Bedsaddick said:10 minutes down the road so I shall be there .

Anyway, I think I've changed my mind. If you're there and you see a grey-haired man in a green jacket, on his own, looking like he wished he'd stayed at home, please come over and say hello.MuttleyCAFC said:

Admittedly that could apply to most of our support tonight, but at least it will get people talking.4
