18 gone and nothing happened. All neat and tidy, but no end product. Oldham look like they are going to be tight to breakdown. Crowd v subdued, but in fairness nothing has happened. Possession all us
30 gone and crowd starting to get a little restless. Were having lots of possession but don't look like were going to get in behind them. Fair pen shout for them on their only time in our box. A frustrating afternoon so far
Steve Claridge is commentating on five live. Absolute dickhead!!!
Apparently Racon, Shelvey and Bailey don't like to pull the strings in midfield and its Matt Spring who does so.
I've had to turn off the radio cos of Steve Claridge, all he has been doing is moan about Charlton. The fact is, we are 2nd in the league and could go top today. You don't play well the whole time, Manchester United don't always play brilliant. Don't understand how this bloke has made it onto radio and TV! He looks like a tramp, has a boring voice and is EX Millwall.

Yep. He's said it a few times.[/quote]
Glad to see he was paying attention to our youth set up when he was our manager.....
Well, it's hardly an enthralling sounding game for the neutral, is it? Charlton v Oldham. It's just one of those rare occasions when two athletic sides meet.
Shock horror - from the lofty heights of the North upper, Spring looks like he's having a decent game. Its f***ing dull though, and Abbott is getting the better of Llera far too often. Our best bet looks to be Llera's diagonal balls out of defence for Burton/Sam to try and get on the end of - we can knock the ball around in the middle all day long but we aint going to get through them in the middle
But this formation should be more like a 4-3-3 with Bailey drifting in and Shelvey supporting Burton. The only problem is if the opposition have been doing thier homework on us, it becomes very predictable to suss us out.
This has got all the hallmarks of a disaster waiting to happen. Hope I'm wrong but we've all been here so many times before. CAFC never make things easy for us!
