Match Thread: Charlton Athletic v Hull City | Sun 9th May 2021| 12noon
It's a high noon shoot out today; if we get killed off we have no chance.
And even if we're the winner ....... we depend on the results at Pompey and Oxford. "But football is a funny old game, Saint"; the immortal words of Jimmy Greaves.
What does Mr Manager have to say? “What’s in our hands tomorrow is to try and win a game of football,” explained Adkins. .
Really, we can't do more than that.
The once maligned Alex Gilbey heralded the battle cry: “We have to win, no matter what. We haven’t got to muck about going for a draw and trying not to lose, we just have to go out there all guns blazing and really go for it." If the players are really up for it, then we have a chance of sorts.
The unlucky JFC is crocked with another ACL and it's unlikely DJ is fit enough to participate.
Mr Adkins knows he has to pick a team to win against the already crowned champions. It's a tough ask - but you never know!
Charlton: Amos; Matthews, Inniss, Famewo, Maatsen; Morgan, Watson (C), Gilbey; Washington, Stockley, Millar
Substitutes: Maynard-Brewer, Gunter, Pearce, Pratley, Shinnie, Jaiyesimi, Aneke

Bit more of a 4-4-2 today, similar to how we lined up against Lincoln in the second half?
Aneke can then replace Washington after the break if he has to0 -
Or is 433 with Washington and Millar wide?ForeverAddickted said:Bit more of a 4-4-2 today, similar to how we lined up against Lincoln in the second half?

Bar Jake, that’s our strongest side, in my view ( accepting that Aneke is better as sub) . Suspect it’s 433 with Washington right and Millar left ?0

Is it a 433 or a 442, hope it is the latter with gilbey wide right. Washington being right up alongside Stockley will make us far more dangerous.0

I like that line-up, looks as though he is going for it, with Chucks coming off the bench in 2nd half I reckon. COYR's......lets do this!!0

Worth pointing out that Hull are largely unchanged after their 3-1 win against Wigan last Saturday
Regan Slater starts ahead of Richie Smallwood, Gavin Whyte comes in for George Honeyman0 -
Speaking on his team selection, the Charlton manager said: “We need to win the game of football and we’ve got 100 minutes to go and do it. Obviously when we talk about Chuks [Aneke] he was phenomenal the other day when he came off the bench wasn’t he, so from our point of view what a great impact player we’ve got for him to go and do that. We’ve got DJ [Diallang Jaiyesimi] on the bench as well - we’re going to take a gamble with him. Again, the last 10 minutes we might need to see where the goals situation is so we’re having him on the bench.
“Ian Maatsen will play in the left back position so it’s tough on Ben Purrington because I really like Ben, but we're going to play Ian in that left back position. Albie [Morgan] will come in and play in that position where Jake [Forster-Caskey] was - a talented young player who came through the youth system here. You can see already in the couple of games that I’ve managed to get him on the pitch that he’s got a great range of passing, his set play delivery has been exceptional and that could be the difference today between winning and losing the game.”

Portsmouth: Have made one change with Whatmough (Mr Own Goal) replacing Raggett
Accrington: Unchanged after facing us.
Oxford: One change with Shodipo in for Barker
Burton: FOUR changes, including the Goalkeeper who is in for his debut and has played for Welling on loan...0 -

JFC club captain next year?1

I love our Mr Adkins:
"What day is it today? ....... er, Sunday. "Happy Sunday, everyone!".

I can confidently say we've got no chance of making the playoffs and even if we did fluke our way in we'd be annihilated over two legs by any of the other teams. That's my bit of fate tempting for the day.2

All the players wearing shirts with number 8 and JFC on them. Brilliant thing to do.

Also suggests he has likely fully ruptured the ACL again, if it was a a lesser injury I doubt they would have done the shirts. Big shame as likely means he’s out for 9 months.stoneroses19 said:All the players wearing shirts with number 8 and JFC on them. Brilliant thing to do.0 -
An off the cuff thought, why is Minto's watch showing wrong time 10 to 8 !!

They are being very tight lipped about it although Curbs is maybe guessing?Covered_End_Lad said:
