in General Charlton
Matches coming thick and fast, a bit like Robbo in full flow.
Thanks to him, we've get Lee Bowyer as our manager, we're on a run and need it to continue.

Post the team when it's announced.

COYR!

    Don't understand why Bowyer feels he has to play either both of Watson + Pratley or none. 

    Defense seems solid enough that we'd only need one DM in midfield.

    That bench is lethal.

    What like the second halves against Blackpool and Northampton?

    Hopefully we can get at least 30-45 out of Maddison tonight

    Watson and Pratley again *sad face*. Guess we are playing 4-3-3?

    Suprised to not see one of JFC or Williams instead of them. 

    Expect I will be frustrated at some of the football we play, but not care at the end of the day if we get another 1-0.

    Hopefully Maddison will get some minutes.

    Waiting for a rant from Leuth at that midfield ;-)

    Very happy to see Chuks back in the squad. Him and Maddison off the bench second half - that'll put the fear into 'em

    Ironically this one is probably a game better suited to Levitt than Pratley but hey ho. COYR.

    Both games won in the second half. Wonder why he won't try it from the start for a change.

    I am guessing that Watson and Pratley will be the midfield we love to hate!

    Bogle, Smyth AND Washington?

    Deffo 4-3-3 you'd reckon.

    Got the 2 old boys acting as enforcers to protect the defence, with the not much younger Shinnie in front of them.
    Midfield looks a bit turgid and one paced.

    Bench, by comparison, is glittering.

    Smyth and Washington on the wings.

    Smyth and Washington out wide I imagine.

    Thats what I was thinking. Don't they all play up front?

    And that’s why you quote your replies. :-)

    Smyth is a winger really and Washington has played out wide before.

    Could be, Henry.

    Especially if Bowyer thinks Robbo will spring a surprise and play 4-2-3-1.
    Like Curbs, Bow does like to match up to start with.

    As I have said in the match preview thread, we have to get used to seeing Pratley and Watson together until others are up to speed and Gilbey is back.

    You might not like it, but it’s about being solid, giving the defence a bit of protection, and ensuring we have enough leaders and continuity on the pitch.

    We have more than enough to bring off the bench and change the game.

    Saturday’s team will be ‘stronger’ looking.

    Smyth is the 'new' Alfie Doughty. :wink:

    The bench looks more potent as an attacking force than the starting line up

    Keep it tight in the first half, go for it in the second, especially away from home... thats always been the Bowyer way

    I know we're at the Valley today so should be more attacking but as @Sage says, others arent up to speed so its a bit limited in Midfield
