    If people aren't going to go because that shite is on TV then there's something wrong with them.

    Using my personal method of aiming for automatic promotion, with the added feature that I don’t like the notion that we can catch up later, I prefer that we go for consistency through the season, I think as we stand we are 1 point ahead of target.
    The target is predicated on winning every home game and drawing every away game or the equivalent.
    So in order to stay the 1 point ahead of target I believe we must win against Rotherham. A draw is dropping two points and a defeat is dropping three. So I think we have to win against Rotherham to be staying the pace. A defeat against Rotherham and a win at Shrewsbury would get us back to a ‘cushion’ of the 1 point we have now.
    My prediction is that Nathan Jones won’t be settling for a draw and is likely to be mightily pissed off if we lose.
    He can however make up for things by winning at Shrewsbury, all is far from lost at the moment.
  • Nathan said 'changes'! You want changes? How about :

    4-1 - 3 -2 
    Mannion,

    Ramsay, Zach Mitchell,  Jones A Mitchell

             Coventry

    Docherty, Campbell A , Small

    Ahadme, Godden

    I've often thought our right-sided centre back should play at left back, yes.

    Our LWB would make a great 8 too

    If Nathan Jones did this, I think Tayo Edun AND Tennai Watson would genuinely have the right to demand satisfaction

    If we clubbed together and sent up a very large pie trolley tomorrow does anyone think Steve Evans would make to the game?

    You've contradicted yourself in the same post, unsurprisingly. 
  • Excellent preview as usual FA.

    Steve Evans always gets his teams playing in a get in your face sort of way.
    We are no shrinking Violets ourselves under Nathan Jones. 
    Watching Jones and Evans histrionics on the touchline should be quite entertaining. 
    As for the match itself I expect a feisty affair with plenty of cards shown.
    Hopefully 3 points for the Addicks to justify playing the game this Saturday. 
    3 1 Charlton. Onwards and upwards. 
     ...a sending off and a punch up. The "good ol days"

  • Tight ol' battle 2-1 , NJ and the large one survive a sending off each but only just.

    I suppose you mean because we could re balance a disaster on Saturday by winning at Shrewsbury.
    Yes that is catching up 'later' in a sense, or putting things right straight away in the sense I mean it.

    Hope we beat them and I think we will. 2-1 Campbell off the mark. Fancy a defender to get on the scoresheet. 
  • Ahadme gets his first goal, all is forgiven.

    For what it’s worth I rate this as a ‘very important game’. 
    Win; the mojo momentum will be maintained. It’d be great for morale to beat one of the favourites for promotion, and it’d solidify our early position in the playoff places. 
    Draw; no major drama, but it’d increase pressure to pick up wins against Burton and (mighty) Stockport. 
    Lose; we’ll all be bricking it, yet again, and probably slipping out of the playoff places. 
    The positivity engendered by our pretty decent start can all too easily slip away.
    And I’m missing my second match in a row for family reasons, when I’ve hardly missed a game in years. ☹️
    However, I think we’ll nick it, with Adhadme breaking his duck.

    Hoping for a vast improvement on last week's performance.....saying that Rotherham have assembled a very good squad and should be pushing for top 6.....1-1 with TC scoring.....

    We win 2-1 but Evans wins a bet with Jones that he can cram 12 wagon wheels in his mouth at the same time 

    ( I know it's cruel but every time I think of Evans I picture Fat Bastard from Austin Powers )

    I agree this is a massive game for us. One that if we lose a lot of the momentum and hope built from our start this season will be badly hit. I think a draw is most likely unfortunately 
  • Been reported by someone that works at the training ground that Jones & Eight Players have been off training with the bug that Berry & Watson had last weekend.

    That's not what Jones said in the pre match press conference.

    It's also a massive game for them. One win (albeit there last game) means they're a bit behind where they want or expect to be so they'll be looking for three points which may mean the game is a bit more open than many expect.

    Should the referee, Simon Mather, have been allocated this game bearing in mind he has all the letters of Rotherham in his name?
    Have a heart, Macronate...

    He's got no mates.

    If true, that will teach us to not cancel games during international weekends 🥴

    He said in his presser today that the squad was all clear of the bug from Tuesday onwards. Could be keeping his cards close to his chest but I believe him more than anyone on a forum
