Brazil on ITV, Strictly on BBC
I must be mad to be going tonight!1 -
Agreed. it's been ridiculous really, as summed up by the 3rd round draw for the FA Cup taking place at the same time as a televised World Cup gamese9addick said:I was actually quite looking forward to a Friday night match under the lights when this fixture first got moved, but now I kinda feel like we should have just paused domestic football while the World Cup is on?2 -
I have no idea what to expect this evening, so not even going to attempt a prediction but, of course, hoping for a much needed win.
I actually think we will miss Stockley, if not for his attacking "qualities" then for what he adds defensively. I think Chuks is a better option from the bench second half, so I wouldn't start him.
If Chuks is on the bench then we need to start with CBT and vice versa. Both are super-sub wildcards.
I think this could be a game for DJ to make a decent contribution, so I would like to see him starting up front. He is strong and can hold the ball up quite well.
It will be interesting to see if the hype about the Brighton game has any sort of knock-on effect on tonight's attendance. It is a bring a friend game for season ticket holders, so hoping for a decent attendance for a midweek game on a cold Winter's night in December.
Win, draw or lose, I would just like to see a decent team performance without gifting Cheltenham any goals by our defensive frailties.0 -
To be fair, he hasn’t left us with much to rememberForeverAddickted said:

Be good to see what he has to offer in his preferred CF position.
This is the first of 3 big & winnable games for us (to get us back in contention). Let’s hope we get off to a good start this eve.2 -
I’m here! (Well Greenhithe atm)
I can’t bloody wait.
COYR!!!!!! ♥️0 -
Looking forward to watching the 3rd most attacking team in the league and matching it up with our superb possession game.

Said it when it first got moved, but lunchtime tomorrow would have been the better shout, then fill the bars post match for the WC game.killerandflash said:

1-1. Just hope it's not too cold.0

I’m just hoping to see us *not* passing out from the back for the first five or ten minutes or so.
And a long throw into their box occasionally would be a bonus. Just to add a bit of variety to our play.I’ve given up on promotion, and would like to see a nice cup run.1 -
I'm going to this (though f**k knows why), so expect a lacklustre performance and heavy defeat.
You've been warned.2 - Sponsored links:

I'm going to this & expecting goals goals goals.

I'll be there but the numbers are going to be low I'd imagine.
Come on Varney, get a tweet going!1 -

Surely the free tickets given to season ticket holders will give the attendance a bit of a boost.mendonca said:I'll be there but the numbers are going to be low I'd imagine.

Maybe they should put the Brazil game on the big screen
Then we can chant it's just like watching Brazil...1 -
In the Cannon St Spoons and my Charlton radar tells me I’m the only person going to the game tonight in the station pub :-(1

But then you still have to drag people out on a cold evening when there's World Cup on TV . Not a good day for such a promotionOh Eddie Youds... said:

Finally here after rail issues in Southampton! Bit of train hopping don't hurt!
Understand we aren't likely to play overly well but it's gotta be better than Port Vale....right?1 -
Not the team I was expecting tonight.1

Christ, what is that team...2

Well Lavelle has deserved to be dropped...
For Ness to replace him and not Elerewe though, given how long Deji has been back... Ouch1 -
Lavelle dropped for 2 youth players. Ouch.2
-
No recognised striker & only 2 real."forwards" in DJ & JRS.
Oh dear indeed.0 -
Wonder where Blackett-Taylor is0

Think I should have stayed at home. Too late now - on the 161 in Eltham.0

Deji must be injured, right? He's been out of the squad the last 2-3 weeks. Unless Garner really, really doesn't fancy him. But why bring him back from loan then, why not just bring Ness back?ForeverAddickted said:Well Lavelle has deserved to be dropped...

So much about this is confusing, but to be honest, I can't argue with dropping Lavelle, he's been really poor. And Ness and Mitchell are at least comfortable on the ball.1
