Tough one this is
With goal scorers in May, Leaburn, Blackett-Taylor, Kanu (no, not that one) AND Michael Appleton, who I think is a decent manager at this level, so yes, I do think this could be a really tough test and if Dion and Vic are off it like they were the other night, then we really will have problems
Could be a 3-1 to them if Rico does his complimentary free pass out from the back to their player
COYWM
Let’s try to do this😬😬😬

He probably would be more of a threat than Danny Boy though. Seriously when is this lad going to realise the chance he's been given. Even if he's not scoring just prove that you've got something about you. As ever all results are possible. Think it will be 2-1 either way. Let's hope. Win tomorrow and it looks pretty again(despite me thinking we haven't played well since Fleetwood(1st half) |

They’re all tough ones as our results so far have proved but I genuinely think Tuesday could have been a tipping point with that fight back after conceding the equalising goal. With most of the walking wounded and suspended now back there’s no reason why we can’t push on from here. I haven’t yet seen a team we weren’t better then, despite results. We’ve just had a few slip ups but hopefully that’s now behind us and we can go on a run? I think we’ll prove too strong for Charlton today and come away with the 3 points and I don’t expect another serious lapse into panic if they score. It will be interesting to see what team Evatt picks today but I don’t expect it to be anything like Wycombe, more akin to the normal defence with Randell and Coggers back in their normal positions and a central 3 of Toal, Rico and Jones. Paris should retain his place and hopefully George will keep his further forward slot where he looked superb. With Dion and Vic up top I’ll stick my neck out and go for 1-3 to Wanderers.

Another tough game this – Charlton have a decent home record this season. But saying that, so did Wycombe.
This has tended to be a mixture of great results and terrible results at the Valley.
I unfortunately remember 4-1 defeats that got us relegated but also some excellent wins.
I remember being there when Richard Sneekes scored a wonder goal there in a 2-1 win – amazing that it didn’t even win Granada’s goal of the month award!
Youri Djorkaeff scored an equaliser one year and then 2 goals the following year for a premiership win and, of course, we have won there on the last 2 visits.
But, of course, history doesn’t win today’s game so we need to continue in our “1st half” form and keep it going for the whole match.
I am unsure if Williams will return – the men who played on Tuesday were good but whoever plays we need to be positive.
I will go for a tight 2-1 win.

Bobby Charlton said “the fans will forgive you for shooting and missing, but they’ll not forgive you for not having a go”
Maghoma on Tuesday a case in point, ‘he shoot’s, he scores’
Like RTF said, Evatt was screaming when Baxter booted one long!!!! What’s wrong with that? It’s not ‘anti’ football to play the odd long ball, it’s ’anti EvattBall’ to even attempt it and yet we seem to be creating more danger in the opposition box, shooting, getting fouls, getting penalties, crikey, even scoring, so yes, let’s do the ugly side of football too if we must, because all other teams in this league and the promoted and relegated teams that joined us have sussed out our Pep football for what it is and they’re combating it
A few ‘hopes’ before kickoff
Hope we shoot today
Hope Bod gets more game time
Hope Dion & Vic are on the scoresheet
Hope Dion doesn’t get subbed for Lulu
Hope Evatt doesn’t get a yellow
Hope we don’t suffer any red cards
Hope the travelling away supporters have a great afternoon

Well I must say, we have owned The Valley with that first half performance (slight gripe that we are not more ahead)
Now comes the ‘acid test’ and what half time team talk the boys can expect from Sir Ian

Really good performance.
The last 5 minutes have been a bit iffy where we have let Charlton come at us.
2 excellent goals and Thomason could have made it 3.
Charlton have had just a couple of goalmouth scrambles but nothing else except they pressed in the last 5 minutes.
So no second half switch-off please.
