We shouldn't go 3 at the back against this lot.

They play an attacking 4-3-3 with Vardy and Nugent out wide and Wood through the middle. They'd get in down the channels far too easily, leaving our slow centre backs exposed.

We don't have the players to match the 4-3-3 (imo), so 4-4-2 or a more defensive 4-5-1 is the way to go.

7-2-1 for me with 2 sweepers

I think this will be a tight game - the sort of game that can kick start your season - 2-1.

I'll be setting off about 9.30 and dropping in to se some friends over in SE London/NW Kent before picking up my son and getting to the Valley about 2.30. It's a lovely late summer day, blue sky, fresh breeze, bright sunshine. It isn't going to piss down. The pitch should have recovered ok from last week's soaking and be looking good. The addicks will be well up for it after the improvement against Udders. We are playing a good team with good support.

Win, draw or lose. It's gonna be a lovely day. Don't you just love being a Charlton supporter, despite all the problems? I do.

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!

We have only failed to score once in a game so far but we will need a heroic performance from our defence if we are to stop free flowing Leicester. Kermorgant and Church to make it 2-1.

Hmm, my only prediction is that the game will last the full 90 minutes...

Called off at half-time: Risk of bushfires.

Hope they watered the pitch

MOG are you playing in a gig at the Lib in a few weeks ?

The Red Robin

Hoping SCP sticks with a 3-5-2 and brings in Solly, JJ, Yann and possibly drop Morrison.

Not that I know of.

These are the games I dread. The prospect of sitting quietly, watching the away fans celebrate over and over. Actually, that's all games.

Miracle of the most spectacular order if we salvage anything from this uneven contest. Lets just pray we pack the defence and midfield and Church gets divine inspiration. Nice day for it though.

1-4

Sat by the pool in Spain for my sins but would be down the valley with my two boys if at home.

Hard fought 3 points and the start of a decent run

3-2 The Addicks. COYR'sssssss!!!!!!

Big William

Just don't put a right winger at left back like Eddie Firmani did all those years ago.

Think we've talked up Leicester to Barcelona proportions on here, so 1-0 to us nailed on.

Somehow, I don't know how, after a complete battering, many lucky escapes, unfairly disallowed Leicester "goals", a very generous penalty to the addicks, a Leicester sending off, in front of a worried and frustrated 11,000 crowd, on a shit looking pitch, after going behind to the Foxes.......we scrape a 2-1 win. Trust me, Charlton always manage to confound all logic. Lose to the crap teams, win when it isn't expected. That's why I love 'em.

Pretty close !
