Nads and TS should know that expectations were high and we needed to hit the ground running.
We won't win with 1 up front.
Change the formation to a bog standard 4-4-2, using both wings to attack.
He probably won't, and this will be another boring display/defeat. Then Nads will be within 4 games of losing the support of the fans, and possibly the owner.

I predict lots of Sean Clare fouls.0

The Good news is Tom Dean the 21 year old 200M freestyle Gold medal winner and 200m relay gold medal winner, had a really bad bout of Covid when he struggled to walk up and down stairs in his house early this year. Thankfully he made a complete recovery because he had a good core fitness. Hopefully Alex Gilbey will reach his optimum ASAP, we all wish him well in his recovery from Covid.9 -
As sure as the red red robin keeps bob bob bobbing along so will our run of defeat. 3-1 Wigan.0

We won quite a lot of games with 1 up front towards the end of last season, including 1 when we scored 6.
The formation isn't the problem.1 -

Now that I have lost any belief in our owner I will be happy to settle for a point towards our survival target of 50 points. 1-10

Our super sub Aneke has Gone.
The Elephant in the room Ronnie Schwartz is no where to be seen.
Josh Davidson should play despite looking short of the standard. At least he will run and run and despite the poor lob against Wimbledon did produce one of our few decent shots on target this Season. Play him nearer to Stockley so he can at least attempt an effort on goal plus it supports the lonely Jayden.
Davison. Heard it being pronounced with a hard ‘a’, as in Davos. Or Davros. I think you’re right by the way. Anything is worth trying, even if only for 30 minutes.I predict a narrow defeat. Followed by a Monday management/owner crisis zoom meeting and a CL meltdown.0 -
So, Washington, Gilbey, Schwartz, Purrington out, Inniss semi-knackered.
Good job we have strength on the bench (Watson, Pearce , Davison and a bunch of kids who do not look up to it.)
All going well, Tommy.

That bloke uses the lift in the west upper, relegation fears exterminated by a 2-1 win.1

Davros. Creator of Dalek Hales, who went around exterminating opposition defences. And pigeons.Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:

The formation isn't the problem.
It is a problem at the Valley when we have no goal scoring midfielders, No super sub Chuks who could score and now no Washington who most of his career could score 1 in 3 in League1.
I like Stockley but he won't score many on the deck in the area without good support.
The Plymouth 6 goals was a freak result as for once we had support in the box and Gilbey was on Fire along with Millar and Stockley plus we had Chuks to bring on to run riot. We created more chances in that away game than 4 home matches.
I said we would struggle to score from open play in August with the 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 before the Sheff Wed game and so far just a Penalty and a header from a free kick.
With the players available, we are not set up to score and now Nigel's master plan of 25 clean sheets is looking dubious with the mandatory mistakes.
Not the formation per se, but we appeared to be one even more defensive when we went 2-1 down against MK Dons who couldn't believe their luck how easy the game was at 2-1 up.
Did you not want a striker to play along side Stockley ? Forget about anyone else I'm only talking about Cafc not Man city.

Cheers @JamesSeed for pointing out my mistake, Davison not Davidson. I have trouble with Davis and Davies as well. Dyslexia rules KO.2

Weird to hear the pronunciation the other day. Can’t remember if it was on Charlton TV or Charlton Life podcast.1

Seeing as Washington looks like he will be missing there should now be no good reason why Schwartz can't be on the bench.....or are you telling me we will he going into a home match with just TWO strikers. One playing & 1 on the bench.Southbank said:So, Washington, Gilbey, Schwartz, Purrington out, Inniss semi-knackered.
Good job we have strength on the bench (Watson, Pearce , Davison and a bunch of kids who do not look up to it.)
All going well, Tommy.0 -

I'd be tempted to play Pearce and stick Famewo left back. Anything to keep Gunter from playing there.0

Got my prediction spot on for MK apart from our goal scorer. Let's hope I get this one wrong. Apologies to those that dont like negativity but can only see a 0-2 defeat at least. As I say, let's hope I'm wrong.0

If he plays the same midfield three, it's a defeat. Watson must start, there is no other option sadly.1

You'd think Ronnie would be selected. He's had 4 weeks of training under his belt. He can't be that unfit.golfaddick said:

If Ronnie isnt on the bench I think we can safely assume we are unlikely to ever see him feature again3

In which case what was the point of him playing for the U23s the other day?AndyG said:If Ronnie isnt on the bench I think we can safely assume we are unlikely to ever see him feature again
Only played 45mins though, the rest of the squad were at that stage of fitness a month agoozaddick said:

So good enough for a spot on the bench with half hour of playing time possible? You'd think so.ForeverAddickted said:

That is my point mate, he played for the U23's the other night. If he isnt in the squad on Saturday NA must really not fancy him. I personally would love to see him feature as I think DJ and Kirk might be just be able to supply balls into the box that he could feed onForeverAddickted said:

If he was on the way out though I'd question if Adkins would even bother worrying about getting his match fitness up.AndyG said:

Leave that to the other poor sods that'll sign him if anyone.0
