One of our tea ladies has been called up for the Women's Institute September fair, so we're calling the game off3

Well seeing that Dixon is going to be part of the Development Squad for a while, I'd only really consider Campbell as the one to have the immediate impact.msomerton said:

Nathan Jones suggesting that the Rotherham may be called off in his post match comments1

before the game today I thought Rotherham would go ahead regardless, but based on today's performance and noticeable improvement when Anderson came off the bench i'm not too sure we can do without him if it can be helped. Starting to think it may get called off now instead which won't be a bad thing, gives Edwards a bit more recovery time as well.1

I suppose Anderson and Kanu both got on today (albeit the latter at 2-0 down near the end) and @MartinCAFC makes a good point about Josh Edwards. We’ll have to see but the position no longer looks as clear cut as it did before today’s game.0

Postponing it with less than a weeks notice would be poor tbh. Anderson and Kanu have not been starters so far5

Call ups only just happened. Its the system - not Charlton - at work.BigRedEvil said:Postponing it with less than a weeks notice would be poor tbh. Anderson and Kanu have not been starters so far6 -
Who is the other call up as I thought I read that AMB hasn't been called up.BigRedEvil said:Postponing it with less than a weeks notice would be poor tbh. Anderson and Kanu have not been starters so far
And don't say Dixon because he hasn't played a minute of any football for CAFC yet.

It is Dixon though, that’s just the rules. Didn’t we call off a game a few years ago because Hady Ghandour got called up for Lebanon after a few pizza trophy games? I would imagine this happens up and down the divisions we just don’t realise. FWIW I wouldn’t postpone but if NJ wants to so he has 2 weeks solid to work themgolfaddick said:

hard I’m not arguing with him.

I also think maybe AMB is on a standby list incase one of the Aus keepers called up does get injured, hence why NJ was talking about waiting to see how we are for keepers0

When do we get a final decision / when's the latest it can be postponed for call ups?0
-
Given that they're playing in Australia, surely if they do have a need to call up a backup as 3rd choice surely common sense would lead them to call up an Aussie based keeper rather than have a guy fly 20 hours across the world to do nothing.fenaddick said:I also think maybe AMB is on a standby list incase one of the Aus keepers called up does get injured, hence why NJ was talking about waiting to see how we are for keepers4 -

Think after yesterday and the debacle performance, Nathan could be calling it off if possible, and use the time to instill some nous into the side...1
-
I would guess these postponements cost the club about £20k in lost income, maybe more, based on lower ticket sales for the midweek games. It should be a football decision, of course, but it’s bad business. So is losing the game because of a depleted squad, though.1

All international weekends should be called off and the season extended by a couple of weeks.
why should we miss Anderson, Dixon and Kanu from our squad, regardless whether they are starting.2 -

I agree - all games should be cancelled and these weekends should be used to play the Micky Mouse games insteadTodds_right_hook said:All international weekends should be called off and the season extended by a couple of weeks.

its crazy we are less than a week away from our next game and still don’t if it’s going ahead or not !1 -
Well if we want change up top next game then Kanu going off to the international stuff blows that..... I reckon it's off but who knows but they're leaving it late.0

I was at the game yesterday and it was a below par performance and NJ was rightly annoyed in his post match interview.
The best way to get a performance like that out of your system is to train hard this week and play the game next Saturday.
I'd expect a decent home crowd like at the previous two home games with the crowd getting right behind the team.
None of our players called up for international games would be in our starting eleven so let's play the game and put yesterday's game behind us.28 -
Agreed, like I said it was a nonsense, probably a KM decisionAlicanteaddicks said:

it was during the Russell Slade era, we had 3 out and then came out with some nonsense that as it was a TV game it could not be called offAlicanteaddicks said:

when we had 2 out International duty.
could have been during LB reign.
still think it shouldn’t have been played0 -
Losing Anderson and Kanu significantly weakens out bench. One of our strikers gets a knock this week, and we'll just have Chuks on the bench.blackpool72 said:I was at the game yesterday and it was a below par performance and NJ was rightly annoyed in his post match interview.

How many times have we lost the next match after a postponement for internationals ?
It's a curse on Charlton, dontcha know !1 -
Postpone it and get the new guys up to speed. Probably a good chance Campbell ends up a starter4
-
Its a gamble to be honest, we didnt play great yesterday. Although felt we were getting in to the game then a moment of magic from Savage completely shifts things. All that said the gamble is you cancel the match saturday and give the players an extra week ? ok we train them and try to sort things out but also create more pressure on them to give a performance in two weeks or we say bad matches happen, I mean we beat Derby last year away and we were shocking, and view Saturday as a chance to prove themselves.0
