We haven’t missed Lavelle at all thus fargrumpyaddick said:Superb preview but sorry to see that talented young CL academy product, Ben, written off so early in his career. I assume like Albie Morgan, he showed great promise but ultimately, he could only be trusted in the minor fixtures.
Slightly worried we may have lost some momentum due to the dual distraction of the FA Cup and the Pointless Pizza eating competion.
Also Leko, Lavelle and Washington would all be first choices as would Gunter with Mathews injured. So that's four key absences.
Would like to see a win because Saturday will be Day 18 of my 21 day sentence in Q Prison and frankly I am losing the plot. The deluge of personal messages of support and solidarity from all on CL has been both moving and very notably absent.
1-2 Charlton and there will be naked dancing and howling like a mad dog on the 23rd floor of the Best Western Sai Ying Pun.0 -
does anybody know how many we're taking?
Can't see anything but an Addicks win, 2-0.0 -
I wonder if Clare may get the right wing back position to not only get forward but also as better defensive support for Deji who will get the RCB role in the 3 at the back. Also Pearce can be JJ's captain at the back and advise both Deji and Akin with Dobson the defensive cover.
We are 18th in League1 so any talk of top 6 is premature.
With Kettle and his penchant for handing out cards being Legendary it's a hard one to call but will go for a 2-1 win but in our position an away draw would be fine.0 -
Great preview as usual, but lets hope the team are heading for Staffordshire rather than Derbyshire! I fancy us to avoid losing this one, hopefully sneak a win.5

One thing I've noticed is that when we drew with Rotherham posters on here were saying it was a good result.
Now a few are saying a draw at Burton would be a good result.
But some then go on to say we have a chance of reaching the playoffs.
Now personally I don't think we will make the playoffs but here's the thing.
If we are to climb this league and finish in the top six then a run of draws will simply not be good enough.
We have to put a winning run together if we are to get anywhere near the playoffs.
It's as simple as that.5 -

Depressingly, it's as simple as that.Sadly this is the first game I won’t be watching live, in some way or other, for ages, as I’m going with a friend to Dulwich Hamlet. He’s come along to three Charlton games now, so seems only fair.1 -

After you said that Tomahawk I had to check as I thought all the B's: Burton, Buxton and Bakewell were in Derbyshire;
You learn something new every day !1 -
I think his sentences were too short. He really needs to be aiming for 5 or 6 lines per sentence to get the job full time.grumpyaddick said:Superb preview but sorry to see that talented young CL academy product, Ben, written off so early in his career.

It's always the way, managers going back to their old favourites, and finding any excuse to blame and drop talented young prospects, highlighting their mistakes - a split infinitive in paragraph 3, dallying too long in paragraph 7 - instead of accentuating the positives.grumpyaddick said:Superb preview but sorry to see that talented young CL academy product, Ben, written off so early in his career.

I can see Ben leaving at the end of the season, and being snapped up elsewhere. Give it a few years, and he'll be writing the previews for Bournemouth Life in the Premier League

What ever happened to the Away fans guide on the official site ?1

We have a strong squad now with FA, Sage and Ben. Everyone has to up their game because these guys have ologies and went to school and University unlike many of CL members who were working up a Chimney at 14.
FA and Sage, have the keyboard at the moment but Ben had a great debut where he used *Pathos, bathos and ended up with Kudos.
* Other Greek Islands are available7 -
It is of course true that we have to put a winning run together. The Rotherham draw was a good result in my eyes because I think they are currently the most difficult team to play against in this division and we more than competed. This level of competing is the level which suggests we can put a run together. Win six games on the trot as we did last year under Bowyer, before the wheels came off, and we will be there or there abouts.blackpool72 said:One thing I've noticed is that when we drew with Rotherham posters on here were saying it was a good result.

I am looking at having goals in the team and being hard to score against. Under Jackson, I have seen these attributes so believe we can make the play offs, but some key injuries or loss of form and of course we won't. I think Burton away is a tough game, but it will be a good marker as will Plymouth at home. Four points from those two and I think we are on course. We need to take each game as it comes but our start doesn't leave us much of a margin.0 -
Argh ok. Charlton legendary goalscorer Josh Parker on this week!clive said:

At this stage in his career he could do worse than go out on loan to a forum like LOFC forum or even Sutton United proboards where he could be confident of writing the previews for first team league matches week in week out. If he can avoid injury (particularly RSI) he will be able to pick and choose his match previews for us next season.killerandflash said:

No Washington, no win

Be interesting to see if playing squad players in the FA cup has affected the momentum of the first team.0

Me and my boy are in the Burton end behind the goal!1

Free hit has gone, new manager bounce has gone, expecting a dispiriting 2-0 defeat as relegation reality sets in.3

This could be tough with our missing players. Rather have the internationals who have been playing very well for us in recent games but there you go. First goal is crucial and I have a feeling the run may come to an end.2-0 to Burton.1

They have missing players as well. Attitude is everything. JJ has attitude. Keep the faith.BansteadAddick said:This could be tough with our missing players.

If he goes Clare as the third defender, I’ll say a defeat. If he plays Clare on the right with Deje coming in, draw.1

I'll be venturing forth for this one.
I'm gaily optimistic and still buying into the Jacko effect.
Don't anybody burst my bubble.
