FA Cup 3rd round game vs Oxford United 4th January 2014

AlexPerseval

Hello Addicks,

Sorry if this has been posted already, I couldn't find anything. But it's a reminder that of course we're playing Oxford in the 3rd round of the FA Cup and SHOULD hopefully be an easy pass into round 4. But it seems not too many people are bothering with this fixture, which is wrong. As today and many other previous games have proved we can be a fantastic 12th man when we want to be and I know this isn't the most exciting fixture but it's rare that we win games past round 3.

It'd be great if we can get the most vocal of Charlton fans in the North Lower as we've proved to be louder in the lower with less numbers than we are sometimes in the North tier. And at £10/£5 a ticket, why not?

Details below. See you all there and fingers crossed a 4th round tie!

I wish. Just want to see a better crowd than normal for this sort of fixture.

If Powell comes out and says he's taking this seriously and playing the first team then we might get a few more on the gate but we all know that some players will be rested and this game will be a struggle because of it.
We don't do cups.

Have to admit if Powell came out and said he was playing the First Team Im unsure whether I'd go...

If he said he was playing a couple of kids (i.e. Poyet / Pigott / Gomez even?) then I'd definitely go and support them

Really want to go, but my Dad isnt having any of it.... sometime wonder why I was made to be a Charlton fan as he hardly ever wants to go any more !

I think his comment "should hopefully be an easy pass into round 4" suggests he's on drugs.

Is Smith cup tied? Ideal game for him to have a run

Smith played for Wimbledon against Coventry in the 1st Round

I think it's probably a mistake to play many first team players in this game. They will have played for games in ten days and will have another six pointer in the league a week later.

Sheffield Wednesday is a massive game and I think we could possible get something at Ipswich so I think we have to play the first eleven for those two games. By the 4th of January all of them will need a rest!

Incidentally I would go to the game if the first team was playing, but I agree that we should use the squad but not that I would go to watch it.

Friend Or Defoe

If we were to beat Sheffield Wednesday AND Ipswich then thinking about it I seriously doubt there will be too many changes... The first eleven will be gaining confidence with every victory... Leave it alone if that happens especially as January is a HUGE month with Barnsley / Bournemouth and Doncaster
