Unfortunately, I think maybe one of our strikers will be axed to shore up the midfield. Yann has strength, good technique and intelligence; therefore could he play in a withdrawn roll with Sordell up top. I know he ended doing that on Saturday but that was more in desperation. I am not comparing them to him ability wise; however Cantona did it brilliantly and Rooney does well, albeit grudgingly adding bite to the midfield as well.
Before you all think I have gone mad, I do have a vested interest in Sordell playing as I have a fiver e/w @ 100/1 to be top scorer in the championship. It looks like my betting slip might read sod all instead of Sordell. My mate said good luck, he won't be even top scorer at Charlton. Cheers for that.

Think he will score a few once the team get going but doubt very much he will be in the top 3 or 4 places.
Think you were ripped off at 100-1 but to be fair he was obviously not match fit and had no sharpness (rather like the rest of the team).
Church's workrate works better within our 'lump it to Yann' system.

If that means we pass the ball along the ground, I am happy for this to happen. .
Agreed
Let midfielders play in midfield and attackers in the forward line. By dragging YK into midfield you risk weakening the midfield and will rob the forward line of our most creative player.
Hamer's tall put him in as target man.
Harriott is a complete brick play him centre half.
Pigott's got a shit haircut put him in goal!
Doesn't work like that I'm afraid.
he reminds me too much of BWP's bad things, jogging around, not pressuring the defence, poor passing, wears the 10 shirt (not bad just a similarity), doesnt make up with the lack of pressure with blistering pace, etc
I think Sordell looks a decent player, butis not a target man. He plays on the shoulders of defenders, and is looking for flicks and passes that he can run onto.
Yann likes to come deep, and make things happen, so at the moment the partnership doesn't seem to work.
That doesn't mean it can't, but both need to learn how each other plays. Partnerships rarely click instantly.
But, at the moment, Yann and Church look the most likely partnership to work. This is because they both work so hard to get onto the ball.
However, I think there is justification in playing Pigott and Yann, seeing how well they worked together against Welling. Yes, you have to take into account the quality of the opposition, but you also have to take into account that the 4 goals scored in the 1st half where all scored by one half of the partnership, and made by the other. This shows an understanding that has been lacking with the other partnerships tried, with the exception of Oxford.
And I, and I hope nobody else, is advocating the dropping of Yann? At least, not just yet!
