Match Thread: Charlton v AFC Wimbledon | Sat 12 Dec 2020

Back to The Valley today for the lucky 2,000 who've got tickets.
Charlton Boss Lee Bowyer: “Wimbledon are difficult to break down. They beat Peterborough the other week. They’ve got Pigott up top who is a handful, they have a lot of energy in midfield. We’ll have to be patient on Saturday. That’s the word I’ll be using to the players - 'patience'."
Patience? Is Lee Bowyer turning into Russell Slade? We've stumbled a bit since the 7 clean sheets/6 wins of the winning run that propelled us from League stragglers into the playoff positions - but we're still 6th in the table. Today would be a good time to improve on that.
Bow says Wimbledon "have a lot of energy in midfield" ...... and perhaps it's in midfield that we have to ensure that we match that energy ourselves.
Along with Inniss and Alfie spanner, we know that Shinnie is unfit.
Don't forget you can watch the game on stream:

C'MON YOU ADDICKS!

Bowyer just said Akin Famewo is injured again with an ankle injury.
Albie has been put in isolation too.
Maddison to start1 -
Bowyer "Maddison is going to get more of a free role"11

What's the catch1
-
I have 0 confidence in that first 110

Lee Bowyer's Red and White Army1

Famewo injured in training, it must be based on the SAS2
-
we go again next week7
-
We have a 68 year old centre back pairing.
Let's hope they don't need their zimmer frames.

Got a bad feeling about this one. I usually get these things wrong though.0

Disappointed Famewo is out again. I really pray this is a 4-3-3 not a diamond though. Washington and Bogle as a front two doesn't work for me. There's at least a bit more balance in the midfield with Watson holding, JFC hopefully creating a bit and Gilbey going box to box but our midfield seems to struggle when we don't have three packed into the middle. Our width seriously suffers in the diamond due to the lack of pace in midfield so I'm hoping we've got Washington and Maddison on either wing. I feel like from Bowyer's comments though it's more likely to be two up front.

With Famewo out I can't say I'm massively confident. I do not really rate him at CB, but would have been nice to see Deji start to give us that balance.
If you're going to give anyone a free role why not give it to Williams? Maddison is so direct I can't see it changing the way he plays to be honest - would rather see Williams there being fluid and linking up play.

I definitely see it as a diamond.1

Can’t believe Famewo is injured again.Surely this injury nightmare throughout the entire squad has to end soon.1
-
Great coverage so far. Scotty just off to the toilet !!1
-
Yeah me too, Pratley alongside PearceNorth Lower Neil said:I definitely see it as a diamond.
Watson at the base with Gilbey and Forster-Caskey "wide" and then Maddison up top
Good to see Oshilaja on the bench as well0 -
Is Morgan on the naughty step after his wild swing at the ball against the shrews or is he in isolation due to the pandemic ?0
-
No confidence in that side at all sadly, today is going to be a long afternoon for those watching (though saying that they'll probably grind out a win now)0
-
Can someone please put the team up for those of us not on twitter?0

Poor Akin... I think it best if the players train in zorbs! It has to be safer! It's almost beyond funny with our injuries!0

Dont care how they win to be honest...MattF said:No confidence in that side at all sadly, today is going to be a long afternoon for those watching (though saying that they'll probably grind out a win now)1 -

Covid in his house... How is a 20yr old pro footballer living at home still when he's got a proper contract?soapboxsam said:Is Morgan on the naughty step after his wild swing at the ball against the shrews or is in isolation due to the pandemic ?
I was renting a room in a house share at 17 with an apprentice salary 😂1 -
Had a feeling Famewo would be out again. Feeling even less confident now. Come on Charlton surprise us all this afternoon.0

3-1 win Gilbey, Maddison, Chuks.
Glad to see Maddison in from the start today I would like to see him get a run of starts to try and get him firing. Imo he is mile ahead of William's as a starter0 -

Injuries updated with Albie

Having a week on the training ground and Famewo getting an injury is just mandatory for Cafc.
I'm only surprised now, if we go a game or several days at Sparrows without picking up a knock.
I don't blame any of the medical staff.
