Give me JJ with a wooden leg rather than Mr Crofts - remember how he let McAleny run 30 yards and score without making a challenge. And he doesn't have JJs gift of the gab.
"Why is it called Cemetery Lane?" March51 would ask me on every single trip to The Valley. After 20 years, my answer would remain the same.
"I've no idea. Should be called Football Pitch Lane," I would respond.
"Perhaps Dairy Lane / Closed Down Dairy Lane / Charlton Park Care Centre Used To Be A Dairy Lane" he would offer.
Today, were he to ask me, I would say it's because of its close proximity to The Valley.
I accept, as entrances go, this was a fairly morbid one. Still, the only way is up! Today we play a club whose play-off hopes are contingent on beating us. So on the bright side, if we were to lose, at least they'd be closing on Millwall.
Again, I am struggling to find joviality with this post. So I'll just leave it there. I'll be relaying the words of the commentary team today, but first, I must buy a sandwich and a Cherry Coke. BRB.

Buy a sandwich? How much you getting paid for doing these updates?

Have you got the team line up, Mouts?
Byrne Konsa Teixeira Page
-----Crofts Ulvestad
--Holmes Aribo Chicksen
---------Watt
This is my guess. Could also be Aribo wide right and Holmes through the middle.
Or maybe Chicksen RB with Byrne and Aribo on the wings if he really wants to fanny around with the team.
Ignore the above, KR has done his usual interview and confirmed my first guess.
Rudd
Byrne Teixeira Konsa Chicksen
Ulvestad Crofts Aribo
Holmes
Novak Watt
That'll confuse the opposition.
Tactical masterstroke.
