Arousal? Are you mehmet?Sage said:Makes a huge difference.
Bow is then able to control the controllables. They’re already together, they have extra sleep, don’t need to worry about making breakfast themselves, don’t need to worry about the travel to get anywhere, and can go through extra little bits of details prior to the game as a group.
Yes, people have to get up early and get to work for 9am or whatever else you might want to say. But the preparation is all about making sure it’s smooth so they’re in the right zone and in the right arousal for the match. It makes a big difference and it’s nice to see Bow has recognised this and doing something about it.2 -

Can't remember the last time I was in the 'right arousal' for anything!6 -

Lee Bowyer on the prospect of getting stick at The Den on Saturday: “All I can say is I’ve been to worse places in my playing days. I have been to Old Trafford and Anfield and been abused by 50,000 people." #cafc #Millwall
LB: “I’m sure I’ll be okay. I’m sure they’ll have their fun. I’ll just ignore it. I’ve dealt with that type of thing through all of my playing career.”

Jeez.....I was only making a light hearted comment. Some of you have your knickers on too tight.

Psychological arousal is a fundamental element to sporting performance. It first started with the Inverted U Theory, which I have attached an image to this post. It’s very basic and arguably doesn’t apply to professional athletes - there are more modern and better theories which explains this if you’re interested. But ultimately, arousal does always apply to any sport performer and in this case is where you can be under aroused and over aroused which leads to poor performance.
Controlling the controllables allows Bowyer and the staff to create an environment prior to the match which will allow the players to get into a specific state of optimal arousal. Americans will call it getting into the zone. In psychology it’s a theory which has developed for over 100 years. Going to stay in a hotel allows the group to do what they need to without outside distractions, focusing solely on the task at hand.

Suppose it depends on the individual Fanny, suppose it also depends on how long someone may last as well, that level of arousal axis could be time as well!Fanny Fanackapan said:

If we win at Millwall I will hit over arousal.0
-
Sage, you are talking about the crowd getting animated if we put a couple past Millwall on Saturday?0
-
You only had to see, and hear, how flat ie under aroused the crowd was v Preston to realise that what Sage is saying makes sense.
If staying in a hotel gives us an extra lift then do it.1 -
I’m speaking more specifically about the psychological arousal of the players, getting them into a specific state ready to perform at their optimal level. But the same does apply to us as well, just in a different way as HI has said. It all falls into the same thing.2

So you're saying that a few pints down the Oak or Radical isn't the answer? : - )Sage said:I’m speaking more specifically about the psychological arousal of the players, getting them into a specific state ready to perform at their optimal level.

Depends on the individual again, if we are talking about one person, it’s harder to answer, but if we are talking about people in larger quantities, it’s about what’s the normal routine, how much did a midday Sunday kick off disrupt what is normally done? All things out of the control impact the result. That’s why it’s so important to train and get a grip on controlling the controllables.Henry Irving said:

I know you were joking by the way!1 -
It is all bollocks unless we actually put in a shift and beat the fuckers!
I have so much time for LB and this team, they have re-infused my appetite for Charlton, but all this bluster and same speak is fucking pointless unless we actually put one over on them.
Play up Charlton!0 -
I hope the Club are putting them in the Intercontinental at the O2. Best hotel in the area by far. Has fantastic spa facilities, pool sauna etc. That would do the arousal job perfectly.

It will be funny if our players end up in the same hotel as the Cardiff players, and the game the next day ends up in a tedious nil nil because both sets of players were out on the piss together...2

Never know might end up in the same hotel anyway if Dalman decides to foot the bill2 -

It would be quite handy for Dalman to meet up with Bowyer and Gallen that evening, they could discuss how they're going to spend the £20m transfer budget in JanuaryForeverAddickted said:

https://www.londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-athletic-will-not-fill-subs-bench-for-cardiff-city-match-with-up-to-ten-senior-players-missing/
Annoyingly no tweets from todays presser. Possibly 10 out.
Bow saying he wont be able to fill the bench.
Was hoping Hemed and Aneke would be fit for the bench bit it seems not.
Kayal is a weird one as played for isreal in the week and was an unused sub in their second game but isnt one of the 3 midfielders Bow says is available. Also isnt on the injured list so a weird one.1 -
Lee Bowyer is in the middle of the biggest injury crisis of his Charlton managerial career – and will not even be able to fill the subs bench for Saturday’s home game against Cardiff City.
The Addicks are without a host of first-teamers due to injury – Tomer Hemed, Sam Field, Jonny Williams, Lewis Page, George Lapslie, Ben Amos, Jake Forster-Caskey and Chuks Aneke.
There is no guarantee that Lyle Taylor, out since August with knee ligament damage, will be fit to play any part against the Bluebirds.
Darren Pratley is suspended after collecting five bookings.

We must have 7 defenders available, Purrington, the 4 centre backs, Matthews and Solly. I imagine at least one of them will play in or cover midfield0
-
From the above I think we will see something along the lines of
Phillips
Matthews Lockyer Pearce Sarr Purrington
Cullen
Gallagher Ozzy
Bonne Leko
AMB Solly Oshilaja Morgan Kayal? Taylor? Davison
As much as I want a change after the Millwall game I think we have to go 5 at the back as this is the area we actually have strength. Morgan on the bench just so that we have a midfield option. Hopefully Kayal and Taylor to appear on the bench. Midfield looks horribly light and think we will have to rely on hitting them on the break.
The alternative would be to play a back 4 with Oshiaja in midfield and have him dropping into the back line. Never seem him do that role so not confident he will manage it.1 -
Alternatively from that article we may see something completely different from Bow this week which could surprise them and give us a chance.
Perhaps a 433 with Ozzy further up the pitch or Taylor/Davison a surprise inclusion0
