Addicks v's Forest match thread 2/1/16 (including as much as I can the off-pitch goings-on)

Good afternoon folks and welcome to the first match thread of 2016. Today I see this as a defining day in the future of our beloved club. There should be no-way that KM/TM can ignore today's protests unless they really are deaf, dumb and blind!! Today may not see any material change, but any CEO worth their 'salt' would have to issue a statement based on what is supposed to happen today.
I will try and report what I can that's going on outside of the match but I'll be relying on commentary from CAFCPlayer and also tweets.
As for the game, which seems somewhat secondary today, I'm hoping for 3 points, but fear another loss. We may have anew player in Rhys Williams starting but he has only played 90 seconds of football in 2 years!! I'll bring you the teams as soon as I can, and any other information as I receive it.

COYR's..........................................Goodbye RD/KM?

    Meire just walked through Cross Bars with hundreds of supporters sat in here, blanks all of them. Good customer service Katriene.

    Perhaps she's being sacked today and blames the supporters.

    The team actually looks a lot more balanced, especially with a hard working midfield.

    A bit vulnerable at CB though.

    I don't understand why you would pick fox ahead of THD, why gudmonsson would be on the bench and why you would sign an experienced CB on loan and then leave him on the bench until after we have conceded rather than have him on at the beginning and hen sub him when he gets knackered.

    Not sure on the formation but it's about time we played 3 CMs, shouldn't have taken so long for KF to make the change.

    I reckon it's the diamond midfield with Jacko sitting and Cally Messi free role behind the front 2.
