Charlton women news - Everton v CAFC (p224)

I look forward to Cissoko and N'Dow shithousing through a lot of WSL attackers this season

Hmm... didn't know much about her, and now I'm feeling less happy after reading Garrymanilow's post. WSL experience, sure, and it gives us more depth at the back so we aren't as reliant on N'Dow, but we have to hope she's improved her discipline.

I might be being too harsh but she's a player who stood out to me at the time as a real throwback in terms of initially carving out a career by being bigger and stronger than the other players around her until the technical side of the game caught up and overtook her. And I say that as a person who has always enjoyed the shithousing style of Ashleigh Neville so I'm no purist. What her signing does say as well is that by having both Cissoko and Neville in the same team we're clearly going to be looking to absolutely shut games down as much as possible. I think we all saw that coming but I didn't necessarily expect we'd sign the patron saints of niggly free kicks and on-field punch-ups in the same season. We did need another defender though and given our budget seems to be paper cranes and sea shells she may well be the best left-sided defender we could get

More experience in Robe. She's been on quite the odyssey in recent years, last played in the WSL in 22/23 then went to Saudi Arabia and a couple of teams in Mexico. Can't say I know much about her but she played a bit in Liverpool's first WSL season and then they moved on from her, it's another signing for experience and numbers but it's not a signing to make a statement

Hoping the women can restore some pride to this club tomorrow. Think NJ and the men should show up in support

I don't think I want to see them for a few days

Disappointed not to see Boama today. Quite weird that we’ve got two keepers on the bench, can only assume there’s an injury there. After that lineup against Leicester anything is possible so could be a 352 with Fitzgerald and Partido up front or a Curbs style 442 with one of Flannery, EvE or Davidson on the right of midfield. I guess it could be the old faithful 343 with Hutton/Fitz up front and Davidson or EvE at wingback but that would be quite a tough watch even for us. 

Boama and Kenney missing, surprisingly really 

Kenney’s here but in her tracksuit so presumably injured. No sign of Boama though. Cissoko is in the warm up despite not being in the matchday squad so Boama’s absence is odd

Fotmob have it as a 4231 with EvE in the 10 and Hutton up front which is the kind of madness Karen would do. If it was a 4231 you'd expect EvE deep with Davidson in the 10 but who knows

Fotmob will be guessing the same as the rest of us but I thought Davidson was also a defensive midfielder so could be a 433 with no 10 and Hutton up front. Going into a game with two attacking players on the pitch does sound very Karen
