I've got a feeling that @eastterrace6168 is bunking off for the afternoon, seeing there isnt already a Match Thread

Mods need to have a work given they appear to be slacking - Who authorised his Annual Leave? - Various players (Taylor and Kanu) appear to be missing themselves due to a sickness bug (Jonesitis) going round the camp according to Louis Mendez

[MOD NOTE - @eastterrace6168's leave request was approved by aliwibble, unfortunately the substitute was injured in the warm up. Luckily you all seemed to manage OK without us :) - AW]

    Better hope we're not chasing the game because there is zero impact coming off that bench

    Is that Mitchell at RWB? Decent CB but pretty useless on the ball, can’t see that working at all. Edit: or maybe Small RWB on second look

    Probably Small - Imagine we'll be lining up with

    Maynard-Brewer
    Mitchell - Jones - Gillesphey
    Small - Coventry - Docherty - Edwards
    Berry
    Campbell - Leaburn.

    More changes, esp up front. So is TC back as a striker after last week playing as a wing back ?

    Lad doesn't have a chance does he. 

    PS. That front 2 have no league goals between them this season.

                    AMB
      Mitchell Jones Gillesphey
    Small                       Edwards
          Docherty Coventry
                    Berry
          Leaburn TCampbell 

    I assume....


    3 forwards on the bench and we revert to TC the starting striker.... could have just loaned in a pacey prem kid if thats what you wanted Jones ya tit.

    Still half asleep tbh and Jones did have Mitchell at RB for a bit the other week. Don’t really like Edwards in a 5 and Small seems so one footed so equally not keen on him on the right

    think it will look more like this with TC drifting wide to cover Small wanting to drift in

    With both of our natural RBs out injured - it makes sense that we tried TC there and now likely Small on his weaker side.

    Wouldn’t be against seeing us try Edwards on the right so we don’t lose Small’s pace and power on the left.

    or Jolly Jones has a Jovial

                     AMB
    Mitchell Jones Gilesphey Edwards
             Docherty Coventry
              Berry       Small
                 Leaburn TC

    Lets go mental with it.


                    AMB
    Mitchell Jones Gilesphey Edwards
                 Coventry
           Docherty Berry
    Campbell             Small
                  Leaburn        


    The possibilities are endless, the outcome a certainty.

    Edwards is even more one footed than Small, think he’d really struggle on the right.
  • ‘Sickness bug in the camp’ - you can expect this to be used in the post match comments from NJ I suppose. 
  • Surprised no Kanu if this is the case... I'm equally surprised that Potts hasnt been given a chance ahead of Gillesphey

    Dan Potts and Dan Kanu have been out doing the spare men running drills before the others came to warm up so presumably aren't included in the list of sick players#cafc https://t.co/2CaDWYtsdg

  • Would prefer 442 - REG at RB, Edwards LB, TC on right wing and Small on left wing, Godden and Leaburn up front. Problem with 352 is our wing backs don't get any support from the midfield. TC is a winger not a forward or wing back.

    TC cannot play up front
    No goals
    No assists 

    From that position this year

    No goals and no assists in the league at all

    Prepare for a Christmas horror show

  • I know I juried play a part but the way we change so much every game with different players and formations there is no wonder they constantly look like strangers on the pitch.
  • HYlton ahead of Kanu

    TC hat trick incoming
  • HYlton ahead of Kanu
    Crazy decision he has Ahadme and Godden on the bench as well surely Kanu or someone from the U21s a better choice?

    That bench. My eyes!!!!!!
  • 3min countdown to the live Charlton stream... Why do I do it to myself

    Answers on a postcard!!
  • Hylton - goalless in 30 appearances for Northampton - their fans will be having a laugh if comes on!
  • How many times does Jones have to try the TC up front strategy before he realises it doesn't work? Small at right WB looks odd. Not an inspiring line up.

    Add sickness bug to the Jones Bingo Card 
  • Why oh why play a left footed player at right back (assuming Small is playing there)

    It never works.
