Charlton v Doncaster - Match Thread

Weak line up but hopefully we squeeze something out of it, wouldn't be able to make any glory 3rd round tie myself due to living out the country but it'd be good to have something to be excited about.0 -
I'm also surprised by the 'surprise reaction' to this line up. Bowyer has made it perfectly clear that the league is his priority. He's doing ok up to now with his meagre resources so I have no reason to doubt his decision. On the positive, it gives a good run out to Maloney and Hackett-Fairchild so it'll be interesting to see how they do. We've already seen what Toby Stephenson can do because of the chances he's been given so who knows with them.
Personally, I have total faith in Bowyer's approach. For me , the league is the priority and why risk players considering we have such a small squad and they can do with the recuperation time.

Would be no different to Southgate avoiding the harder route in the World Cup over the summer
That does not ensure a replay
Yes we might lose but there is no guarantee of that at this stage of the day0 -

If Bowyer doesn’t care about the cup, why play a strong team against Mansfield in the 1st round replay? Surely it would have made sense to play the same line up from the initial game.1

I never said it was guranteed but u said he is trying to ensure a replay, but surely there is more chance with a few 1st team players rather than 0.ForeverAddickted said:

Ultimately these are all lads in a Charlton shirt, find it disappointing that people dont give them a hope in hell even before a ball has been kickedRob said:I'm also surprised by the 'surprise reaction' to this line up.

Karlan Grant was written off for years by many on here yet has proven EVERYONE wrong!! - Whats to say Maloney / Hackett-Fairchild wont do the same?2 -
Hoping most of you are wrong and Bowyer is right, will be interesting to read comments after the game if we win. How many times I have read in cup games, this team is not good enough and we have won, alternatively, how many times I have read in league games, this team is great we will win easily and then lose. I am prepared to back Bowyer and wait until the end of the game, but if we lose, I hope next Saturday we win to make it worth while1

I doubt Doncaster have a massive squad either, and they're playing their first team.Rob said:I'm also surprised by the 'surprise reaction' to this line up.

Wasnt there dismay at the squad that Bowyer fielded against Norwich in the final pre-season friendly though?paulie8290 said:

I dont see how a 2nd 11 ensures a replay
Phillips, Solly, Bauer, Pearce (C), Page, Lapslie (Pratley, h/t), Forster-Caskey, Aribo, Marshall, Hackett-Fairchild (Ajose, 75), Grant (Maloney, 83)
Those in bold are being utilisied again today, yet again apparently dont stand a hope in hell by the majority on here and as I've pointed out, there are only three changes to the team that drew @ Mansfield with Hackett-Fairchild in for Grant being the only one that weakens us in my opinion - All Im saying is give these goddamn kids a chance0 -
Btf Recco is only a few months younger than Grant, I think. Grant played for England age levels, played in the championship at 17 and scored loads of goals at u23 level and at Crawley last season. What has Recco done?ForeverAddickted said:

Thank you for proving my point, look at that squad it had a a mixture a few reserve players and a few 1st team players.ForeverAddickted said:

Today is just reserves with no 1st team even on the bench0 -
The possibility of drawing a big club in the next round and making shed loads of money, the excitement of a Cup run and an away trip to Man Utd etc.Rob said:I'm also surprised by the 'surprise reaction' to this line up.

Recuperation time? No-one is suggesting our more injury prone players should play but most of the squad are young men in peak physical condition. There's no game for a week after this.
No, that line-up is taking the piss with every supporter going today who has paid hard earned money to be there.2 -

And those comparing this squad to Mansfield, we struggled to get the replay against Mansfield who are worse than Doncaster and when we put a proper squad out in replay we eased to a 5-0 win.1

Even if we win and draw a big money spinner in the next round, has everyone forget where the money will go

Either this team is good enough to get a result against Doncaster or it isnt0 -
It’s a shocking line up, but at the same time having the majority of our first team rested should give us a better chance of points with the two upcoming big league games.
Still feel that we could have had a slightly stronger line up today though.0 - Sponsored links:

Expected a weakened team but this looks too many changes to me. We have only played 4 league games in the last month and there are players who haven't played in all of them eg Fosu.1

We are not going to win this cup it is not important to our season. Bowyer has made the right call with Selection. The next 6 games in December are far more important3

Consequences of a very young squad and promotion so, so important for club & Bowyer, let's see what the youngsters can do.1
