I’m not sure if anybody realises (or it would seem, cares) that we actually have a game against bottom-of-the-league Stockport on Saturday but in terms of importance and relevance – the 3 points at stake are just as important here as they are against Millwall which is just a week away.
Despite a disappointing performance against Southend last Friday, the result was great and the manner of it made it that little bit sweeter. The crowd at The Valley on Saturday is going to be expecting a victory, and an easy one at that I feel, and it is about time the team put on a performance for us all - especially leading up to THAT game.
Moving onto the team on Saturday - Kyle Reid surely needs to come back into the fold on the left and the rest of the midfield, in my opinion should be made up of Shelvey, Bailey and Sam. The back 5 pretty much picks itself at the moment and Llera will retain his place.
Although I still see Parky persevering with Mooney and Akpo up top if Burton is not fit. I really want to see McKenzie given a chance, it won’t happen though.
We really need to turn on the style soon to show we are in this for the long haul and give everyone a bit of belief.
4-1 to Charlton.

So 1 nil Stockport it is!
:-)
A meet with a Stockport fan, easy tiger there are sites for stuff like that :-)
I think we will win with 2 late goals. 2-0.
You might know him from the Ypres AKA The Gambler!!
Hope he's OK...
you at the training ground?
I really want to be proved wrong though...
Looking at the other games, i can see the rest of the top 8 all winning so a win is absolutely vital for us.
We'll rise to the occaision and thump them 5-0.
Just seen the fixtures for March 13th, massive day, us at the toolbox, Leeds at Southampton and Norwich at Huddersfield.
I'd start Reid and McKenzie if they are fit.
Every time I miss a home game we win big so I'm predicting a 3-0 (plus) win for the Reds.
Hope Shelvey starts now he's no longer ''only 17 and needs resting''. Over the last 12 months that became an arithmetical mantra to rival ''we're still 2nd/3rd/4th/5th'' (delete as appropriate) !
Seriously, though would love to see him back in the starting line-up.
Is Burton definitely out? I do hope we are not going to pay the price for not getting his hernia seen to earlier in the season. There was one period when there was a window of about three weeks in which he'd only miss one league game and I fully expected him to have the op then and was surprised that he didn't. Instead, we were told he could ''soldier on'' with it until the end of the season. Hope that was correct.

Forget that then to late know anyway cheers.
3-1 Charlton Mooney 2 just to nark you all
what is the right team in your opinion?
expect we would have to go for width with Sam and Reid
who would you play alongside Bailey? Racon or Semedo
or are you proposing 4-5-1? Shelvey behind Sodje?
think we will sneak it by 1 goal...but suspect we'll need to score a min of 2 to win
