Some of the more charitable amongst us may even give a welcome to our ex-manager Karl Robinson, who today brings his playoff pursuing Oxford to a windy Valley.

Whatever you think of Mr Gobby, apart from his ability to speak unintelligibly forever without pausing for breath, he always tries to put a decent passing footballing side out on the park.

Jacko says:“Karl’s obviously coming back to his former club, he’s going to want to win that game but so are we. We’ll be competitive, we’ll be matching them stride for stride and hopefully we’ll come out on the right end of it.”

Can we do that if all 3 of our experienced strikers are still missing; and new midfield playmaker Scott Fraser? Maybe another youngster to make his debut - rumour has it that Tyreece Campbell is on the bench? Well, we'll just have to manage best we can. There was a hint from Jacko in his presser that he's going to adapt the team to make up for the absentees.

Charlton: MacGillivray; Clare, Inniss (c), Purrington; Matthews, Gilbey, Dobson, Morgan, Jaiyesimi; Leko, Lee

Subs: Harness, Famewo, Pearce, Lavelle, John, Campbell, Burstow

    Remember the good old days when Mr Gobby was still manager ..... about 2hrs before ko, he'd release a vid telling everybody his lineup, gameplan and explaining the match tactics in detail.

    He never did quite understand how the opposition sussed out and nullified all his detailed gameplan. :smile:

    So we don't have a recognised Striker starting today. Well none of our other players are allowed to score, so should have stayed at home

    Why is Purrington still playing at centre half ?

    And only one in the side, with no strikers.  Anyone else losing faith ?  Some sympathy with strikers out - I assume Kanu is also injured .

    Plenty of centre backs on the bench, let's hope we'll have a lead to defend as we'll be stuffed if we need to score

    Formation is,..They all line up and run towards the opposition goal with the ball...hopefully at their feet, and put it into the big netty thing at the other end of the pitch as many times as they can,...Oh and stop those pesky Oxford lot doing the same... B)

    To me it looks like the same formation with Matthews on the right, DJ on the left. Central three of Dobson, Morgan and Gilbey. Lee and Leko up front.

    Or Jacko could surprise us all and go with my suggestion of Lee and DJ up front... :-)

    3 strikers, Fraser and CBT all missing...

    It gets worse every week. We do actually have recognised strikers at the club, albeit young or off to Chelsea, but we are refusing to play them. Nothing I've seen from Leko has shown me that he is a striker. 

    Jacko is either very smart or very stupid.

    You got it right first time round.

    1 man's dream of completely phasing out the need for actual centre backs.

    3-7-0,,, make that 3-6-0 Morgan is on the pitch !!😜🥱🗝, all joking apart that side is very concerning, really finding it hard to be positive about us at the moment.

    One recognised centre half playing, three on the bench. Absolute madness. Have sympathy with the striking situation but why play with only one centre half? Is JJ trying to lose his job?

    I see, apart from Tyreece Campbell, the Spurs loanee Nile John is also included on the bench.

    I still don't get playing with only 1 recognised CB ...... to me, that really doesn't make sense, unless it's a reaction to Oxford's gameplan and Jacko thinks he can get away with it in order to strengthen midfield?

    If you look at what's available on the bench, I think it makes a lot more sense.

    Clare has been (for the most part) very good on the right of a back three. I'd rather have him there than any of the options on the bench.

    On the other side, it's a battle between Purrington and Famewo. Given how Famewo has been playing lately, I'm not surprised we've gone with the "steady eddy" in Benaldo Purringtinho.
