Nottingham Forest v Charlton Athletic 6th December 2014 . Match Thread.

seth plum

Good afternoon all.
Red Midland is taking some much deserved R&R today so here I am starting the thread.
However.
If there is a stream I will decamp to that.
If not I will provide updates on here in the usual fashion, so apologies for my inevitable typos and slowness in advance. Anybody not getting a stream (if it happens), but hearing coverage, please do chip in as we are usually faster than other sources in updating events, all contributions welcome.
The protocol is to try to avoid giving other scores here, and to concentrate on todays game.
Massive respect to all the travelling Addicks

seth plum

Hi LL, I take it you have audio if I disappear to a stream? Otherwise we could collaborate on this thread.

yes Seth, I'll be listening to Finchy so we could either halve each half between us or one of us do it from the NF commentary, assuming no stream just tell me what you want to do

lancashire lad

very defensive bench only one striker

seth plum

LL this is the deal. I will update from the Forest perspective if there is no stream, and you chip in from Finchy.

Athletico Charlton

Pig ahead of Tuc is a surprise.

OK no probs

seth plum

Maybe the Pig is in form because of his two goals midweek, but George is exhausted due to his two week old baby.

se9addick

Surely George is injured. Is KAG also injured ? Seems odd to only have one striker on the bench given that we only really have one in the starting XI.

Oggy Red

Buyens on the bench.

How fit is he after a hammy - and should he be risked at all?

We need him fit for Christmas.

Yes please.....much appreciated.

hudson-son-son

Yeah that bench looks pretty weak, Bulot the only player you'd want to bring on if we are a goal behind really and he hardly lit it up for us so far.

Pedro45

Karlan has tweeted that he is injured (minor), so it was a choice between George and Joe for sub spot...

Henry Irving

C'mon Charlton

lancashire lad

5 ex academy players starting and 3 on the bench

soapy_jones

C'mon you rip snorting goal scoring Addicks!!!! (well sort of...)
