Addicks v's Burnley Match Thread 19/12/15

in General Charlton
Afternoon folks, another Saturday and another game, however can we get 3 points this time? If we are going to get anything here we need to play as a team and fight from the off. Injuries may see changes to the side, Lookman and JBG were withdrawn on Tuesday evening, so we could see Big Mac and Ba come in I suppose. I'm hoping we can at least get a point, but I fear the worst and another defeat. I'll bring you the teams as soon as I get them. In a more than hope than confident voice ....COYR's!!

    Good luck Red.

    Not expecting anything today, and the nightmare goes on.

    No Lookman or JBG in the 18 today.

    Absolutely nothing on the bench. If the starting 11 can't get anything done we may as well pack it in today. Shame Lookman's out but I don't think Johann suits this system, whatever the hell it's meant to be, so it might be good to have three proper central midfielders playing.

    Assuming 4-4-2 does that mean Reza and Cousins are our wide players?
  • HantsAddickHantsAddick
    Happy with Fox back as well as Bauer, leaving Diarra to play midfield. Guess that answers whether Lookman was injured.

    No sign of Seth yet, happy to cover if he doesn't show up.

    I've got good previous results wise, honest. :-)
  • Exiled_AddickExiled_Addick
    Looks to me like a diamond, Reza playing behind a front 2 of Mak an Vaz. Could be a 433 as well with Rez and Vaz either side of Mak. Doubt it's a 442 though.

    Got to say that team looks weak and the subs bench even more so......paper thin squad is causing us massive problems. RD will need to spend and spend big in January or we will be watching League 1 football next season.

    Hopefully it'll be more of a 4-3-3 with Diarra sitting deeper, Cousins and Jackson sitting in the middle (and in theory one providing the creativity), with Vaz Te and Reza playing either side of Makienok. Given Karel's loose understanding of balance though we'll probably have Lennon marking their keeper and Cousins somewhere in the stands
  • ross1ross1
    Sorry Red, LOL you, but you are joking about RD spending big aren't you?
  • redmanredman
    The only shred of optimism is it is a much physically stronger 11 than we have put out for a while. We have looked very weak physically recently.

    Looking at that team, Lord I feel sorry for anyone who has battled their way up to Burnley today.

    We lost 7-0 there more years ago than I care to remember. Could be a cricket score again today.

    Let's face it, regardless of formation, JBG hasn't done a whole lot all season and has been particularly out of form in recent weeks.

    We all know that when on his game he's one of our best players, if not the best, but it's hard to argue on current form that he's a serious loss. Trouble is every senior player that drops out means another U12 on the bench.

    Lookman is a big miss though as most of attacking impetus in recent weeks has come through him or Vaz Te.

    The last couple of games, the midfield has been over run, which is why I thought it might be 4-4-2

    Without looking at line up

    If it is 433 that side is actually pretty well suited to it. Both Jackson and Cousins should be comfortable operating slightly to one side or the other of central midfield and likewise Reza and Vaz Te both naturally work the channels and should want to get up alongside Big Mak and not leave him too isolated (as long as we occasionally have the ball).

    I don't mind the look of first XI given what and who is available for selection, but that bench...
  • RedmidlandRedmidland
    Big Mac needs to earn his 'dosh' today....how can a bloke who is 6'7" not win a header? Today he needs to impose himself on the Burnley defence from the start and keep it up all 90 mins.
