My "man" who gives me the team line-up - and has the inside track on it - had Marshall up top. Like I said, we'll know for sure when they get out there!
If Marshall is up front, that really is a vote of no confidence in Parker. Has Marshall ever played there before? Will be interesting to see how that works, it doesn’t strike me as an easy switch for him.
A diamond will better suit the midfield personnel though. It’d be to attacking to setup as a 3, Lapslie or Pratley should’ve started for one of Williams or Reeves if that is the plan.
A vote of no confidence or just giving him more time to settle in?
Under normal circumstances that’d be logical but we’re in the midst of a striker crisis. How much time does he need? He won’t have even moved house to come to Charlton. It’s not like we’re asking him to change occupation or anything. He’s been left on the bench in favour of a player we have chosen to risk bring back from injury quicker than the club originally suggested, despite him having a history of quickly breaking down again after injuries, and a player who, to my knowledge, has never played up front before.
it seems a strange move to me. I hope it works but it’s a gamble and I doubt Parker is exactly delighted about it.
Maybe he he has a knock.
Must be more to it, can’t see Bowyer being the type to sign a player and decide he doesn’t rate him in a matter of days.

I hope so.
I am nervous about Igor. Feels like Groundhog Day, I do hope he’s not injured again by the end of it. If we can just get 3 months of fitness and some kind of form out of him it could make all the difference to our season.
Reckon this has got 0-0 written all over it. Hope I’m wrong. Igor scoring would be a massive boost and get us believing we can push for a top two finish again. COYRs
At least the diamond formation can provide threat, if the through-balls are good enough. But I do think out squad as it is, especially without Taylor, is better suited to attacking down the wings
As said above all smooth once through the tunnel ikea traffic not a problem parked up and bumped in to Lyle taylor on the Woolwich road he went to get a Starbucks i think it was before shooting to the ground he said marshy up front with igor hes not a keen watcher
