    HH has a column in the local rag here, "The Wharf", and says that he's hopeful of being available this weekend.... the weekly paper but published today but I'd guess printed a couple of days ago....
  • never thought i'd be saying this again but i hope HH makes it, couldn't deal with 2 nightmares in the back 4

    i'd rather faye slots in than survive fortune to be fair, sankofa will just have to cope at RB

    How reliable is the Thatcher story? There's been no official comment as far as I can see and the only paper carrying it is the Kent Messenger.

    Why no Thatcher?
  • in the bulletin, quote from pardew saying we picked up a couple of knocks saturday that don't look good and that it will be a changed side - one obviously marcus, so there's room for the thatcher story unless it's another player that played saturday that's struggling badly

    According to the Messenger Thatchers got an ankle injury

    If HH is fit, do you think Pards will play him in the centre or at left back?
  • i'm not too bothered, i'd just rather see any eventuality that fortune or sankofa don't get a look in... if HH is fit and thatcher isn't i'd go:

    Young - Faye - Elk - HH

    I don't think Fortune would be too exposed against Watford myself.

    In fact I am more comfortable with the idea of Fortune at centre back than I am Hermann at left back in all honesty.

    Assuming that HH is too slow to be a left back, then Thatcher is our only left back in the squad. Presumably the plan has always been to play Luke if Thatcher gets injured, and bring in Sankofa? I can't see too many options otherwise.

    I just want to know for sure that baby Bent is going to be fit - that's worrying me more than the defence.

    ZZ can play indefence too so could fill a position at right back allowing LY to drop to LB. Thatcher's knock is reported by Pardew on the club website preview, hopefully a bit of mind games and he will be fit

    What about playing Chrissy Powell - I think he should be close at hand.

    thats what i would do too dood good.
  • On the BBC website it says Thatcher is out and isn't listed in the squad. Ashton is though.

    Is ZZ left or right or both? might be an idea though.

    Wouldn't risk it, especially the way Watford just hit it into the corners for someone to attack

    BBC site shows the squad as

    Charlton (from): Carson, Young, El Karkouri, Fortune, Sankofa, Ambrose, Holland, Song, Thomas, Hasselbaink, D Bent, Randolph, Zheng, Rommedahl, Faye, M Bent, Kishishev, Ashton.



    Note the inclusion of Kish!!!

    Can Song play CB?

    Possibly but we need him to create in midfield- mind you, the Vicarage rd pitch might get in the way of that?

    Carm on you Reds!
