    If we lose today it will be because of the poor selection in midfield, and i think that powell will get torn apart if that happens

    I dont mind about ability, all I need is effort.

    Is it my imagination or are we playing 4 center midfielders?

    We know who you mean and when Piotr comes on and scores PP will do

    Sordell probably earned his start today with the goal last week.

    Picking Sordell today means that he has to fight for the shirt - or lose it, with a hungry new striker desperate to start.


    I guess Sordell is regarded as the link man - which sets us up for a passing game, with all 4 midfielders decent passes of the ball.

    If it ain't working, on comes Green and Peter Parsley to provide an aerial threat.

    Why does Jacko get crowbarred I'm every time! Cousins and Poyet should be in the middle if they play and nowhere else. And looks soooo slow in midfield. Would rather Wilson at rm, cousins Poyet and Astrit with Jacko dropped to the bench. If we get beaten today CP hasn't done himself any favours with team selection. Let's hope it doesn't come to that as anything less than three points isn't an option.

    Good morning from a rainy (yes) California. Yes please for the updates Red. Much appreciated.

    Dont see where the service is going to come from, 2 defensive mids and wide players lacking pace

    People criticising the team selection, who would you have picked instead? Genuinely interested.

    Hopefully the fact that ceddy comes in for loic will finally put to bed the conspiracy theories about who is picking the team.

    Jackson is our top scorer.

    We need goals.

    Pretty simple equation.

    Is Koc really that dreadful that he can't even make it into our Midfield?

    And if we win 4-0?
  • GarrymanilowGarrymanilow
    Wasn't it Jackson who set up our goal last week? Hardly crowbarred in. Not much pace on the wings today so we'll be relying on some driving running from Reza and Sordell

    Narrow midfield means full backs will be key today, defensively and going forward. Looking to see some good movement from the strikers, fed by a midfield that looks like it can pick a pass.

    a poor looking side with some strange selections .. let's hope I am TOTALLY wrong and we play a blinder

    thought Lennon did well last week against a very good winger and didn't deserve to be dropped

    Agree that Lennon didn't deserve to be dropped, Lancs - but at least we have a LB playing in his proper position.


    Seeing that we have 4 CMs in midfield and no wingers, I guess that part of the thinking is that Evina and Wilson will often get forward.

    Midfield:

    Wilson, cousins, adjarevic, harriot

    OR

    Wilson, Poyet, cousins, adjarevic

    OR

    5-3-2 with Wilson and Evina as wing backs and Astrit cousins and Poyet in the middle.

    Just heard the Red Red Robin briefly. A tester I reckon

    Powell will get praise...I don't know why it's confusing for people that Powell gets criticism when we lose and praise when we win...

    Harriott hasn't had a decent night's sleep all week.

    The right back on the bench at right back, Wilson right mid and Cousins in the centre with Poyet (if he persists with the outdated 4-4-2 formation!). Said on other threads I would like to see 4-2-3-1 and we have players to fit into that setup.

    Fingers crossed we do get the win or CP will be crucified!

    Unfortunately Charlton fans don't look at things from that perspective.
  • sseaddicksseaddick
    I think (hope) we line up in a narrow diamond because AA and JJ on the wings doesn't fill me with confidence, or even the uoungsters on the wing. Would of liked to have seen green start.

    Strange team selection. Birmingham looked very poor at St.Andrews but like us they aren't particularly good at home, need to win this one COYA

    We have very few options in midfield, and that isn't Powell's fault.
