    I like the line-up. Kirk back with a proper attacking left back behind him looks good. Gunter in to replace the tragic Matthews. I want Arter to do well because if he's fit he really is what we need breaking up play and distributing the ball well. On the face of it it's a good line-up with great options to come off the bench. Let's hope they can play well for more than 25 minutes and run for more than 60

    Is there a question over Connor Washington's fitness?
    If not then selecting Kirk in front of him is at best cavalier and closer to inexplicable.
    We're shipping goals for fun against moderate to crappy opposition and one of the hardest working players is overlooked for one who's not broken into a jog once nor ever tracks back to support his teammates.
    Adkins is out to lunch isn't he?  Could he even spell "consistency of selection" or maybe "teamwork".
    Watson's not even on the bench, is he crocked too?

    Watson isn't in the 18 as we have a surplus of riches, or rather a surplus of players who can play in midfield

    Dropping Matthews absolutely the right decision. I might even have fined the guy

    Paddy Lane, is in my ears, and in my eyes...

    Watson and Pearce were only supposed to be standbys and to help younger players, it says something about Adkins they have been starting
  • mendoncamendonca
    Players aren't really being dropped though are they? They're being left out the team and squad, then make a comeback straight into the first 11. I find that a bit odd personally.

    I’ve never heard of any team rotating the line up like this. Feels another desperate throw of the dice. I’m praying he plays 442 which makes us less prone to getting rinsed on the flanks but suspect Nigel will play his usual formation. I have bad vibes about today just hope they can grab a result from somewhere! COYR

    Gunter

    Gunter captain, I would give it to Gilbey and keep it there tbh. 
  • BaileyBailey
    Different players, same system, both have not been good enough this season.

    It says something about someone, not sure it's Adkins though.

    Aware that I'm tempting fate but if you look at that starting lineup not a chance it should be beaten today. But I thought the same on Tuesday !!

    So many changes again, but good to see Watson dropped. Really need Arter (or Dobson when he gets another chance) to step up in that DM role, Watson's not quick enough.

    Got to let the players build partnerships, only Lavelle and Famewo are getting a chance to do that.

    Great that Leko's fit and Kirk's getting another chance, also means we have CBTs pace to bring on. With Kirk in it gives us a different type of threat down the left, rather than two wingers who's pace is their main strength - hopefully makes us less predictable.

    Assuming it's 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 

                       CM

    Gunter Lavelle Famewo Souare

                 Gilbey Arter

                       Lee

    Leko                              Kirk

                   Davison
    Its 442, but with Leko as a withdrawn winger

    I never want Watson to play for us, but he waits till we are playing in a cold, wet, windy, attritional game to drop him!

    Arter, Gilbey, Lee is how I saw the first choice midfield after the window, hopefully, this'll be the start of the potential that's there.

    Don't like just sticking the captaincy on the oldest or most experienced. Gunter and Watson should never have captained this club.

    we are second from bottom at the moment Oggy not stuck at the bottom 3 points adrift .

    But I do understand your meaning.😘
    I meant that we're 4 points from 'safety', of course.

    Amended by popular request. :smile:


    Not having a go at you Oggy.
    Guess what I think Charlton will win today just to prove Sandgaard right.😃😃2-1

    Fair point from Curbs, why 5 more changes, how can you get the message across to the side if there are constant changes, as agreed with Brownie, Davison and Lee up top..
  • soapy_jonessoapy_jones
    With my dad in Farnborough Hospital.  It is not looking good but he has more of a chance than Nigel I reckon.

    CHEER ME THE FUCK UP CHARLTON!!
  • KettsJohnKettsJohn
    Adkins needs a result ( don't we all) Curbs and Brownie already questioning the changes again. Clearly not impressed.
  • TELTEL
    Leko and Kirk have got to track back otherwise we are firked. 

    Bizarre but sooner or later you have to win playing player roulette.

    Steve Brown desperately trying to be tactful, but not always managing it:

    Second worst goal difference in the Third Division.

    Yeah just heard Minto say 4-4-2. That's a very attacking midfield four. Guess we can drop Lee further back if needed.

    Who knows what our best XI is, certainly Adkins doesn’t seem to, but that team looks unbalanced to me. I obviously hope it works though.
