Surely if we had we wouldn’t then register someone we loaned to play U21 football who hasn’t looked that impressive though? Even we’re more sensible than thatAberystwythAddick said:0 -
It wouldn’t make sense but little recruitment we’ve done recently hasfenaddick said:

With the forum clearly desperate for a preview and @ForeverAddickted possibly busy elsewhere I thought I’d start a thread, it won’t be as good as FA’s of course.
Norwich come into this one in poor form having lost their last 5 in the league and sitting 21st. The fans anger isn’t directed at manager Phillippe Clement but towards director of football Ben Knapper. He has built a young squad who are seemingly lacking leadership. Captain Kenny McLean usually provides that leadership but has been injured, he is due to be available for tomorrows fixture.
Charlton’s form has also been poor, not that any of you need to be reminded of that. Nathan Jones has hinted that he might ring the changes and a change of formation might be on the cards to facilitate it. He will be boosted by the return to training of Nathaniel Chalobah and Matty Godden although it might be too soon for them to start. Solly March is expected to sign a short term deal but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Okonkwo, Ramsay, Jones, Koumetio, Bell, Coventry, Mwamba, Alli, Carey, Campbell, Kelman
Subs: Mannion, Mesík, McNamara, Rankin-Costello, Skipp, Knibbs, Grant, Leaburn, Godden
I'll do the next one mate

Last couple of games we have clearly played a 3 4 2 1 formation, with Grant and Campbell playing just behind Leaburn.
Reason I mention that is one of our best performances last season was against Hull when we played that formation with Knibbs and Carey playing behind Kelman.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see those 3 start tomorrow playing in those roles.1 -
I think it will be:
................Okonkwo
Ramsay Jones(C) Billy Edwards
........Skipp Coventry
Grant.......Carey.........TC
...............Kelman
Bench: Mannion, Bell, Mesik, Mac, JRC, Knibbs, Alli, Leaburn, Mbick
I know Skipp and Cov are much maligned, but I think they're currently our best fit 6s. I also think that having another midfielder in front of them in Carey will help. Carey can take the ball on the turn and drive at defenses, plus he's good in the press. I'm really hopeful of a performance tomorrow. Not sure we'll get one, but hopeful.3 -

Boost to start weekend.we move above bolton on goal difference without kicking a ball3

0 - 3 to Norwich.We are pants!4

Im sure FA is just stocking up on tinned food and edible bog roll.3

Can not believe he will make a lot of changes to the team, at least the same defense as Watford same midfield, so maybe start with Kelman instead of Leaburn. Even so expect us to lose, probably 2-0.0

Just imagine what the smoggies will do to us next week.timken said:Boost to start weekend.we move above bolton on goal difference without kicking a ball1 -
No more excuses.
We don’t win tomorrow and there is no other way to paint it other than we are in trouble.
we said no excuses not to get a result last weekend. Now even more so5 -
Norwich would die for that midfield, in our team tho not their's. Good idea to keep our top scorer out as well, Ron.RonnieMoore said:Weather is going to be the winner awful day predicted … which makes the game a mockery and the team who makes less mistakes will win .. …… still remember comments from NJ that he needs to use the squad and players he been to loyal to changes will be made … with that in mind the team for tomorrow .. 4132 attacking formation … in goal one more chance for AO he needs to show us what a good keeper he is back 4 Ramsey Jones Billy Mesik .. the one defensive mid Skipp the three in front Knibbs Carey Ali front two Kelman and Godden … there a brave team one that would win .. can we see NJ keeping his word no not really Campbell will still play … …. Having said all that Norwich was the best team seen at the valley last season they out played us ….. not sure about them now but they are a dangerous team ..we have 4 games 3 at home if we can get 7 points we hit the 20 mark after 15 games ……tomorrow 2-1 to Charlton4 -
That Norwich have lost five in a row and are still the bookies’ favourites really says something about the state we’re in.I expect Nathan will set us up to nick a 1-0. If it works then he’s a genius and if it doesn’t then he’s a clown.3

No more defensive set ups for 1-0. Just stop it - no more.
Not again at home to a struggler.
Will be a fucking embarrassment if we set up like that again. What will it take for us to learn?5 -
This is already a hugely important game -
After last week I'm not going to watch and see if that makes a difference to the result.
We huff and puff during the first 15 minutes - dont get the goal and then fall back until we concede.
0-2 the misery goes on.1 -

Score first we win 3-1, concede first we lose 1-0. This has a Norwich win written all over it for me and their first clean sheet of the season. Then we win at Boro Saturday week.0

I’m sure Solly March will feature at some point tomorrow, think we haven’t announced it yet to keep Norwich guessing.1

They have to stop the run sometime.0

If we start with Alli, Carey and Kelman, 0-3.
He's under the wheels of the bus Fen is driving

Having thrown half the team under the bus last week there is no way that NJ picks the same starting 11, or even the same 18 man squad.
I'm expecting 3 or 4 changes to the starting 11, with Skipp, Leaburn & Grant all droping down to the bench.
I'm also expecting a couple of surprise starters with either Alli or Nkeng on the right wing. Mwamba will partner Cov in midfield & either Carey or Knibbs in the no10 role.
If not then we are in Barney Rubble.
