Hopefully this is just a rest for Sarr, otherwise Bowyer out etc etc5

Harsh on Naby. Would put money that Pratley will be replaced at half time1
-
Carried over from the Preview but think its sensible from Bowyer
Pearce hasn't played since the Barnsley game ... Bradford is the start of the run in so need to get everyone match fit for the cruical stage of the season
It could be really harsh on Naby because if Jason were to put in a MOTM performance today then it makes Bowyer's job even harder in two weeks as would you drop him to bring back the former (who in his own right hasn't done enough to be dropped) - I think though from the sight of a fully fit Midfield against Portsmouth to the Midfield we have now proves that we cant rely on all our Defence now being fully fit2 -

Team looked very tired 2nd half on Tuesday.
Freshening things up a bit ain't a bad thing .
In Bowyer we trust .7 -
Quite a defensive midfield on paper. Hope Bielik, Pratley and Cullen can keep out of each other's way.1

2 Clarkes and a Clarke-Harris in the Rovers team, @LouisMend will be thankful that Billy Clarke is no longer with us2

Louis Mendez @LouisMend 2m2 minutes agoChris Maxwell is floating crosses over for Dillon Phillips to catch in the warm-up, but the wind is taking them all over the gaff. #cafc0

Blimey, that midfield!
Bowyer mentioned Sarr was not 100% the other day, so with Pearce about then it seems sensible to rest him.
Nice to see Beilik back - hope not too early.
Would have preferred Lapslie, Fosu, Marshall, Parker or if fit, Morgan to Pratley.1 -
set pieces going to play a big part in today's game.0

3-5-2 with Pearce, Bielik and BFG and CB0 -
Dunno how I feel about either Dijksteel or Purrington as Wing Backs thoughpaulie8290 said:

What time you switching to the non league thread .

Sarr is now first choice ahead of Pearce but we need the latter fit for the run in so I guess Bowyer is just trying to get a game into him. Naby deserves a breather. Can’t see many goals in that line up I’m afraid.1

https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/5c8cf470e7441/team-news-five-changes-for-charlton-at-bristol-rovers
Lee Bowyer has made five changes to his starting XI for Saturday’s Sky Bet League One clash at Bristol Rovers.
The Addicks have won their last two matches – beating Portsmouth and Burton Albion in very physical games at The Valley – and the Charlton manager has freshened his pack by changing half of his outfield.
Academy graduate Dillon Phillips keeps his place in goal and, in front of him, the south-east Londoners may deploy a 3-5-2 formation.
Patrick Bauer, Krystian Bielik – fit again after a hamstring injury – and skipper Jason Pearce are expected to form a back three. Anfernee Dijksteel and Ben Purrington will provide additional protection in the wing-back areas.
Darren Pratley, Ben Reeves and Josh Cullen make up a midfield trio and ahead of them Igor Vetokele and Lyle Taylor will lead the line.
On the bench, Bowyer could call upon seven players, including Joe Aribo who has been struggling with illness over the last few days.
Thats where i got the 3-5-2 from

Set up for the expected blood and guts battle in the wind and rain.
Glad to see Igor's good work v Pompey recognised by Bowyer.
Options off the bench too
Up the Addicks1 -
If it was the other way round, I would probably say the same. I will try to stay on course, but I am confident someone will let me know if I do notblackpool72 said:

I hope this is incorrect!
I'd expect Bauer RCB, Pearce LCB and Bielik CB.

Super Saarb Naby, hope we don’t need him as emergency striker late on chasing the game...0
-
The weirdest thing about dropping Sarr is that he was basically built to be one of a back three. That's like his optimal position4
-
Well, I guess it's Bowyer's way to play both Beilik and Cullen in the same team.
Pearcey back because the team needs it's leader.
Unless Naby is truly struggling, then I personally would have kept him left side CB, in a 5-3-2.
I just hope Pearce doesn't get exposed on the floor.
Pratley hasn't had much game time recently - and got to hope no late lunges because he's not sharp enough to get there first. Pratley and Cullen holding, Reeves as the 10, perhaps?
Igor up front was always going to happen - after his long spell out, he was never going to be ready to play 3 games in a week; but always going to play today.

We may start 5-3-2 ..... but I wouldn't be surprised if we revert to diamond for the last half hour.

A goal fest this will not be.0
