I dont know how it works as could be very wrong but Bowyer has to be careful as if someone like Aucharia (would love to see him get a chance) plays then we cant replace Lockyer until the embargo gets lifted as we'll go back to having 23-players in the teamsammy391 said:ForeverAddickted said:

I don't think the youngsters not having a chance is going to be one of our biggest problems this season.sammy391 said:Probably have a difference in view, but think staying in this and at FA cup would be more beneficial.

Can only be a positive that they get games0 -
This is a pretty-season friendly. Hope Bowyer gets a good run out from the current squad. Really don’t care at all what the result is.0

Charlie Barker really has come from no where
Great opportunity for him to actually say to Bowyer that we dont need another CB (if we get Lynch)3 -
They accidentally posted the teamsheet before hand with Amos as number 12

Seriously confused does Barker not now count as one of our 23 man squad? Or has it been decided there's no chance of signing anyone worthwhile under the embargo?2
-
Other than Gilbey and Aneke on the bench and Washington and Williams away on international duty that is pretty much full strength (from those available).0

Wont be surprised to see Vennings against Crewe at this rate, he's been really involved this pre-seasoncfgs said:Other than Gilbey and Aneke on the bench and Washington and Williams away on international duty that is pretty much full strength (from those available).

What is the formation? Lapslie playing RB? Maybe Deji? Can Barker play out wide?0

Mingi and Ness are older.
Could we sign Lynch or Matthews as a non contract player so that they could play next week?1 -
I think you're right @stoneroses19. The only other progress I remember in the League Cup was around the mid-70s when we lost 3-2 at home to Stoke at The Valley in the last 16. An entertaining game in front of around 16,000 and young Garth Crooks got one of their goals.stoneroses19 said:
Presume losing to Wycombe in QF (2005 or 2006?) is the furthest we’ve progressed.Blucher said:I reckon the team will duly oblige - although it would be very 'Charlton' to get a result in a competition where, relative to our league stats, we have one of the worst records of the 92 league clubs.1 -
Stoke scored in the first minute, not sure we'd even touched the ball before it was in the net. Two down soon after.
Got it back to 2-2 and then Crooks won a penalty, thought it was a dive though.

That makes sense, seems pretty generous and helpful by the EFL's standardsRichard J said:

Surprised Vennings has gone ahead of Morgan2

Different player... I wonder if Vennings is being used as Pratley and Lapslie have been forced into defence as he sits a bit more doesnt he?killerandflash said:Surprised Vennings has gone ahead of Morgan0 -
Morgan not as good as some people make out1

Looks a pretty weak line up, picked from a limited squad. Unless we get TS in, I fear for our season.6

Two of those on the bench: Aneke and Gilbey
Two on duty: Williams and Washington
One injured: Pearce
Still dont think we need massive amounts of improvement, quality over quantity7 -
Vennings is more of an attacking midfielder though, Dempsey would be more of a defensive optionForeverAddickted said:

Well Sandgaard has just liked my tweet about thinking he'd be there today so is set to equal Roland for games attended0

We have him a 3 year contract 2 months ago, which is a reasonable vote of confidence in himcafc4life said:Morgan not as good as some people make out17 -
I would suggest we need 5 defenders though, 2 CBs, 2 RBs and 1 LB, depending on whether we want to play with 2 or 3 CBsForeverAddickted said:

But yeah we do need to heavily improve the defence0 -

This is my guess as well. It's really the only thing that makes sense. It would also mean that Henry doesn't count against us (though he played last season).Richard J said:

I always think it is good to play youngsters in these cup games, but unfortunately, we do not have any choice. Have not a lot of interest in these games, I will look at the result and read other peoples opinions, but I cannot get any enthusiasm going yet0

Believe we need at least another 9 players.
2 right backs
2 centre backs (don’t want Barker as 4th choice, 5th sure, not 4th)
1 left back
1 or 2 centre mids
1 or 2 wingers
1 strikerWithout that, we are too reliant on youth, too reliant on players who haven’t played men’s football, too reliant on our ability to produce players for the first team when not everyone will make the grade.10
