    Ben Watson and Jason Pierce FFS does Adkins want the sack - those 2 should be nowhere near the first team

    Why drop Famewo? I mean it’s a strong bench ; but like others have said Watson and Morgan?

    I've defended Adkins, but if he genuinely thinks Morgan and Watson are a decent midfield pairing then he needs his fucking head tested.
    Well he is staking his future at the club on this thinking.

    That team just looks so rough to me.

    Bizarre team selection and disturbing this was leaked over 24 hours before the game.

    Not sure what I find more troubling but not a great look for us either way.

    Because he keeps kicking the fucking ball off the pitch. One of the most understandable changes in this XI

    CBT starting about the only plus point - also what I'll be needing tomorrow morning after we lose

    Looking at that team whilst listening to 'Addicks to Victory' on the stream.  Not sure whether to laugh or cry!

    The team always gets the benefit of the doubt before any game for me

    But even if we win tonight with Watson / Morgan it'll feel a bit like the saying: "a broken clock is right at least twice a day" because we've clearly seen on too many occasions that they struggle against better midfields.

    Glad in a small way that Famewo has been dropped, he's been one of the biggest culprits for just getting it away from the defence without caring about building a proper attack - But the pressure is now on the rest of the back four to do the opposite.

    Clare for Watson and it basically turns into the team that destroyed Crawley, tbf to Adkins. He might as well try to recapture that

    hopefully the fact,that team particularly with Pearce Watson and Albie in, is possibly the least inspiring starting lineup I’ve seen since I’m not sure when, will burn this comment down in flames, but I just don’t get what the fuck is going with this shit!!.😤

    And you think Pierce is better?

    I mean Pearce's kicks usually remain on the pitch.

    Another random team selection (until it was leaked a day ago!)

    Pearce suffered by comparison to the Nabster but he's so much better on the ball than Famewo

    Worth noting that if Davison scores tonight he becomes our top scorer in all competitions...

    What could be more of an indictment of the recruitment policy that Watson and Pearce are in 7 games in, with no injury crisis!!. Desperate.

    Dear oh Dear......Watson, Morgan and Pearce in the same team. Does Adkins want the sack?

    So pleased I paid £10 for the stream. Really wish I had checked the team first.

    Weird selection. CBT's late cameo aside, I thought Dobson was our best player, by a distance, on Saturday, yet he is dropped tonight. I'm still somewhat defensive of Morgan (note I do say somewhat), but Watson back in there for Dobson has me scratching my head. I can only assume he's trying to place his trust in experience, but I think he may have fucked himself if he thinks Watson is going to dig him out of this hole. Pearce will run through brick walls because he is just that kind of pro, whether or not that is enough anymore, is another question.

    Looks like a pulling names out of a hat type selection of a manager who has already run out of ideas.

    wholesale changes indicate to me yet again that Adkins has no real idea who are his best players and what tactics to employ with them ..
     Famewo out ?, agree with that even though Pearce is not the ideal replacement .. But Leko and Stockley both out ? .. on the bright side, good to see Matthews in at right back and welcome back Ben Purrington at last and Alex Gilbey on the bench

    It'll be another tough one .. so come on youse Addickksssssaaaaa
