    Dilemma … Think we’ll lose. Going for 3-0. Question is, do I watch or not?
    If you’re at the game you might as well. Otherwise, not very tempting.

    Web site says it is being broadcast?
    I am in Spain, will I be able to watch buying Charlton TV?

    If NJ persists with hoofball and bypassing the midfield it will inevitably be a defeat. The trouble is we don't have decent midfielders.. 
    "we don't have decent midfielders" is a little harsh
    Have you not been watching us? We can't really pass and don't have any players who can run with the ball. NJ doesn't like flair players and we seemed destined to capitulate if we concede.

    We're trying to grind out 1-0 wins with limited possession.
    Rubbish, Carey runs with the ball all the time, have you not seen his goal at Ipswich, he ran nearly the whole of the Ipswich half with the ball before scoring.

    If Carey doesn't play, no one else will attempt a shot unless 3 yards out.
    TC will have a go, if playing.

    Are they really that good? Losing Armstrong in Jan was a huge loss for them!

    Appreciate Scienza is a very dangerous player. They are not invincible though. They are where they are for a reason!

    I would play very conservative with essentially 5 at the back 
    Ramsey Jones Bell
       Coventry Coady

    Then a couple of true wingers Chambers and Campbell

    Carey free range

    Kelman and Baines up top


    oh and maybe a Keeper.
    Baines??, have I missed something...🤔
    ooops

    We know you love Coventry but he's bang average at best.
    Our midfield is by far our weakest department.

    I can’t be the only one thinking the Sichenje decision smacks a little of desperation?
    Lets hope he’s had two weeks of smashing everything in training 😱

    Carey and Coventry are fine generally, just need someone that has the energy and work rate of Doc but can use the ball too. Would change everything.
    Agree, It would be transformative, but with the 3rd lowest budget in the league we can’t afford someone like that.

    we can’t afford decent midfielders, 3rd worst playing budget in the league, Southampton have a top three budget, the gulf is enormous.

    We could have afforded Ebou Adams.
