Fear for Joe uptop tonight, whats the point of getting Obika in to put him on the bench and play someone who wasn't rated highly at Gills, he was thrown in against a poor team in Millwall and struggled, same again here I fear.
Evening everybody. leeds don't have #player' so I will do the match thread from 'our' feed. Please god it isn't Emma or Jamie. Apologies in advance for my slowness, and my typos. Big respect to the travelling Addicks. P.S. if there is a stream I will be watching that.

Quite often players come back stronger from a loan , ie Parker so hopefully piggot will aswell , and as for obika I think it's obvious everytime he's played well for us is when he's come off the bench.
Or perhaps the same 4-1-2-1-2 that we saw against Forest at home.
Saying that, there's about a million and one different formations you could select with that team, plenty of room for adaption in the game!
Would have preferred to see Obika instead of Reza but that would be my only change, let;s hope Reza proves me wrong.
Really hope Pigott does well, massive opportunity for him.
Good to see Dervite back aswell, we seem much more solid when he is playing and playing well. Plus I think he suits Riga's style much more than Wood. We could do with a similar goal to the one he scored last time at Elland Road.
Foolishly, I fancy us to tonight for at least a point, we shall see!
Pilot played Against Millwall and was bullied hard and we didn't see him several months. I can't think of a more hostile place to go and try to make your mark and suspect he will get shit kicked out of him for 45 minutes before being replaced
Reasonably happy with the team. Pigott did pretty well when he came on at Derby, Wood was poor so I'm glad Dervite is back in. Wouldn't have played Reza, he was also poor at Derby but glad to see AA back in as well.
The "anti-Pigott" comments on here are clearly made by supporters who didn't see his cameo role against Derby. Pigott was clearly much stronger physically than he was before he left us and he was good at holding up the ball, when played to his body or feet and thus brought other players into the play. Time will tell, but it is wrong to put him down on his history during his football development rather than the "now". let's give him the benefit of the doubt.
Sorry but Piggott up front smacks of desperation (hope I'm proved wrong though and it's not like our other strikers are on fire currently so fair play to Riga!)
Well... the Gills fans didn't seem to rate him but Piggy has obviously done something to impress someone. Bold trust in a youngster by Riga or a last roll of the dice by a desperate man? Lets hope he makes a silk purse now Pigg's 'ere.
Looks like it's probably nominally a 4-4-1-1 but expect AA will roam around a lot and Reza won't be expected to track back that much. Very important that we give it to Piggott on the deck and that AA and Reza get up and around him quickly so he actually has someone to lay it off to. Hopefully we can retain possession and get Wiggo and Lawrie overlapping.

Don't get me wrong what I said about him being bullied v millwall was fact however I do know that he is a very good footballer and hope that he has strengthened himself and will make an impact.

Good luck Joe.
