Very happy their best player isn't playing1

I'm sure I heard on Sunday's Charlton Live that the Barnsley match was the first full game that Willo had played for us since he joined.Red_in_SE8 said:Really don’t understand why he has changed the starting lineup from the last two games. Field must have been incredible in training since the cup game. Jonny Williams on the bench! Is he injured?
If he had to play another match so soon he'd be blowing out of his arse midway through the first half!
Save him for the next game on Saturday.4 -
Forest will be expecting Williams to start and arranged a game plan to nullify him ... now they have to think again?
I trust in LB.3 -
Seems an odd line-up, but I guess we've got the depth to make some changes now (hopefully)1

Especially in a derby game.grumpyaddick said:Big big risk.1 -
Come on you reds! 3 points tonight0
-
Its seems three like for like changes for rests sake
Williams hasn't played90mins for ages apart from last week - silly to rush him when we have others to rotate
Pratley and pearce wont be nearly as effective if we don't rest them
I see this as positive as Bowyer backs his squad not just an 119 -
Bow has had 2 weeks already to watch Field in training - remember, he sees them train every day.
Seems a lot of changes in one go, though - fingers crossed, it works out fine.0 -
Lolley has a foot injury he received in their last game0

Does Bow realise this is a league game and not some mickey mouse cup?
We'll see.

No JFC maybe allowed out on loan for match fitness0

If you've got a squad the point is to use it by choice before you're forced. Taking out a 34 year old midfielder and a player with a history of severe injury issues makes sense. Shame Hemed isn't on the bench but I understand why. Once he and Kayal come in Bowyer is going to have a genuine selection headache, which is great. Feel like game 4 is a good acid test for how your season's going; win and we're unbeaten in 4 with 10 points. Lose and we're hoping that the first two results can be repeated quickly to perk us up again. Fingers crossed for three points!

Pearce dropped !! .. surprise .. must be for Sarr's supposed greater ability in the air, unless of course Pearce is not fully fit .. Williams ? too fragile for three games a week ? .. good luck to Sam Field, he's coming into a difficult game.0
-
Bow deffo playing some mind games, I reckon ..... saying "we need to assess Oztumer, not only fitness but how the situation at Bolton has affected him. We can afford to give him time, no rush, etc ...."
Then goes and plays him straightaway!

Wonder if there is any contractual obligation to play the loanees if fit?0
-
Naby in at cente half. No protection from Pratley. I can't see how this ends well but here's hoping !0

Naby's got a passing range on him ...... maybe we'll be hoping to use that to good effect tonight.
Which could mean 3 x CB and wing backs.
Hope we don't miss the old warrior Pearce too much though - trust Lockyer is a good organiser at the back!

From the Forest forum:
"concerned how we're going to deal with the likes of Leko/Taylor in behind or on the break. Can see them causing us real issues there with how susceptible we are defending counter attacks. Looking at Charlton's line up, they've deliberately gone with a very mobile midfield and forward line"2 -

Injury prone players rested. Doesn't seem to bad.Red_in_SE8 said:Really don’t understand why he has changed the starting lineup from the last two games. Field must have been incredible in training since the cup game. Jonny Williams on the bench! Is he injured?
This lot should be capable enough3 -
Possibly in the match day squad ..... but every manager knows a player gets selected on merit.Sillybilly said:Wonder if there is any contractual obligation to play the loanees if fit?
He will first need a chance though to do that - then it's up to the loan player to justify his place in the starting 11.
Rule One: If he doesn't perform well, then he's liable to be dropped.

brand new defence and midfield .. he's giving the squad a right good chance to make a name for themselves .. also 'nursing' along a few of the older, more fragile brigade I should think .. Come on you AddickssssaaaaahhhhhhOggy Red said:

Hadn’t realised Semedo was still with them.1
-
Must be one of the youngest sides we have played for a while.....
Nobody over the age of 30.
gallagher - 19
Field - 21
Leko - 20
Cullen - 23
Oldest defender Naby at 260 -
