    Got to be the first time since Bowyers been in charge that you really couldn't guess the line up or formation, much more balanced squad and options at last. Stick with the 433 as we have Doughty and Maddison? Back to the favourite midfield diamond with shinnie and Williams? 

    Two formations and line ups I can't decide between:

                          Amos
    Gunter Innis Famewo Purrington
             Levitt Watson Williams
    Maddison Washington Doughty

    AMB, Pratley, Maatsen, Shinnie, JFC, Smyth, Bogle


    Less collateral damage with one of Bogle/ Aneke missing out completely, good starting 11 good options on the bench.



                       Amos
    Gunter Innis Famewo Purrington
                      Watson
                 Williams JFC
                      Shinnie
           Washington Bogle

    AMB, Pratley, Maatsen, Maddison, Levitt, Smyth, Aneke


    Not quite so kind on the wide players, I can't see a need for 3 on the bench so one from Maddison, Smyth and Doughty missing out.

    Nice problem to have!

    Also, 3-0

    Come on admit it all !!

    How great is it to be genuinely excited by waiting for our starting line up to be announced? 
    What a difference a month makes. Now we can all have a row about who isnt starting rather that if Mouthall is a c##t or not lol

    If the players are buzzing as much as us fans, it's going to be a rout. 4-0

    I'd hazard a guess that LB won't start the game with too many debutants, only in those positions where there is no alternative.
    We're going to have an absolutely f-off bench though.
    I'm crap at predictions, but I don't expect us to gel into a smooth well-oiled winning machine overnight so I'll go 1-1 for today.

    Should be fun!

    Give the guys time to settle in.

    No problem doubting as that's being a fan, but give them 100% once they wear the shirt because that is being a supporter.

    Bowyer Masterclass 3-1 

    Maddison shows his quality

    You just know that Bowyer will barely make any changes from the previous match lineup, apart from replacing the injured Oshilaja and loaned out Oztumer, plus replacing Vennings maybe?

    Wait a minute that's 3 changes already! :smile:

     I don't believe, however, he'll risk starting any new signing that hasn't yet proved a high level of fitness.

    But I do think we'll see the bench full of a glittering array of new talent - 3 of which come on for a storming last 20 mins!

    Marcus Maddison should be fitter after the last two weeks at Sparrows lane.

    He could be the standout for Charlton this season IF he focuses on his football and feels contented off the pitch.

    Will he start today ?
    He played about 45 minutes in a friendly last Saturday

    No maddison. Saw he was on Deji's story with the injured lads yesterday and did wonder.

    Wouldn't have predicted that lineup! 3 at the back I imagine

    Aneke and Smyth up front should be fun to watch

    Looks like we're going three at the back with Pratley in defence, Gunter and Doughty as full backs

    Probably training with them because he just needs to get fit

    Forster-Caskey must be looking incredible in training - unless Bows is not wanting to throw the blokes who have been away on international duty straight in.

    Maddison has a minor ankle injury

    Williams, Levitt and Washington on the bench, I imagine that's partially down to being tired after the international break.

    A bit surprised Forster-Caskey gets a start with all the midfielders we have signed.

    OS suggests that or potentially a 4-4-2 diamond in which Pratley would push up into midfield.

    I know that Bows denied it, but there must be something dodgy about our training method. Never known a club to get so many injuries
