Match (+post p15) Thread: Colchester Utd v Charlton | Papa Johns | Tue 4th Oct 2022 7:45pm

edited October 2022 in General Charlton
In a season which has veered from optimism to near despair in a few months the only consolation has been the performances of the reserves in the silly cups, and the youth teams in their leagues. Garner has said that nobody who started on saturday will start tonight so we will see a mixture of reserves and youth team players. 
My guess is that we will look something like this:

MacGillvray
Clare, Ness, Thomas, Chin
CBT, Morgan, Foster-Caskey, DJ
Kanu, Leaburn

Or Clayden may be left back and McGrandles may be in midfield, plus a bunch of youth team players on the bench.

On form that line-up should be good enough to beat Colchester.

On form....

  • Is the 6&5 rule still in place for this, where you had to start a certain amount of players in the match that will start in the game before or after the fixture?

    7 of my line-up have made 40+ appearances, 4 is the minimum needed,  so we should be in the clear.

    I think when you are looking for the right combination, this was a great opportunity to fiddle a bit with the side and try some things rather than change it all. Quite disapointed with him. It isn't as if we actually know who our best eleven are as well as the best way to set up. Let's have another first half on Saturday like Accrington and Oxford when were not at the races doing what we could have done today.

    And me

    In a league season already sliding into total apathy, has tonight’s pizza game ever felt or meant less?

    Yes! This game is just as important as every other pizza cup game! And it feels equally important! It's going to inspire us all to levels of attention and focus that only pizza cup games (and maybe U-21 pre-season games) can! Get on board... 
  • now this could be a record all time low for a 'first team' game

    HEAD-TO-HEAD

    Charlton and Colchester have squared off on 38 previous occasions with the Addicks winning seven, the U’s seven and the remaining four encounters resulting in draws.

    What happened in the other 20 fixtures were they abandoned.  

    Edited now!

    Quite shocking really considering the relative sizes of the clubs, that we have an equal number of wins in the fixture. You'd expect us to be well ahead

    Not to Millwall proportions but we never seem to do very well against them, they did the double on us in the 80-81 promotion season for example. Also remember Lisbie putting us to the sword when he played for them.
  • Forgot we were even playing tonight…

    Agreed.  I'm assuming the head to head games include FA cup/League cup & league.  If so, to think 1of the 7 wins included the FA cup win at their old ground. Which was the luckiest cup win I have seen us have (0-1) 1984 I think.

    Usually I'd  agree with you 100 per cent but today I dont. 

    Our chances of finishing in the top 2 are non-existant. Unless we find some form in our league games very quickly any outside chance of reaching the top 6 is remote.

    If ever there was a season to take the cups seriously it is this one.

    Not saying we should put out our first team tonight- far from it  - but we should put a strong team out to make sure we qualify tonight.

    Don't forget we were a couple of games away from Wembley last year in this competition until our players just couldn't be bothered to turn up at hartlepool last year. (Hard to forget Watsons abysmal effort to close a shot down that led to a goal)

    A day out at Wembley in this competition is hardly what we are all dreaming off but it might do something to take some of the gloom away that is rapidly enveloping us.
    And with money clearly being an issue at the moment, and in the EFL and FA Cup a lucrative away tie would do very nicely, both for the money and giving us something to look forward to, from another 1-1 draw in the league.
  • Absolutely buzzing for this one!
