It was 3-4-2-1 in the first half and the 2 in that formation were playing way too narrow which kept leaving us exposed, particularly on the right. It could be that they were supposed to be playing 3-4-3 but both Campbells were too narrow due to their lack of understanding between a 2-1 and a front 3 (wide) which needed sorting and thankfully was sorted. I thought second half we were 3-1-4-2 with the RM and LM dropping to make a 4/5 when defending and defo going with 6 in attack when turning over. The 1 was Dobbo until Coventry came on who then took the deep lying DM role. Get that latter formation working right and it is a very attacking formation and should keep oppos pegged back as long as the forwards have the stamina to press or 90 mins+. A 3-5-2 will either have 2x CDMs and a CAM or 3 x CMs to pack the middle of the park, didn’t see that, so think it was a 3-1-4-2… “It’s life Jim, but not as we know it…!”L0rd_M0ntagu3 said:
It was was 343…and that 352 in the second half. If you couldn’t spot that we were playing 3 at the back, you should give up watching footballRonnieMoore said:L0rd_M0ntagu3 said:

Epic.MA said “ first half we tired two number 10 Campbell and Campbell to link with May but they never really got the chance to stamp themselves on the game , second half we pushed midfield further up the park and added another striker “0 -

It was never going to be a loan.Addicktion_to_red said:
And this is why I don’t think a JCH loan to us is a starter (if ever it was). It could be another Lyle Taylor situation. Although for Peterborough it could work of courseCovered End said:
Good. He's apparently not keen on joining so it wouldn't fill me with any confidence that he'd be putting in maximum effort.fenaddick said:Certainly sounds like we've given up on JCH/showing him we won't just cave. Seems positive to me0 -

I wonder if the ‘derisory’ fee accepted for Alfie and the subsequent stick the Cheltenham board received will have any sway on a) if they agree to sell Goodwin and b) if they sell him to us?
Money talks, obviously, but if Oxford match our bid perhaps it’s a slightly more palatable destination for Goodwin than The Valley.2 -
Yeh but I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on that he’s only 21 and still maturing. Plus if he was ripping up trees at that age he would have already been snapped up by a club higher up the pyramid. Hopefully he’s a late developer like so many have been in the past and is worth a punt for the future 🤷♂️. He’ll have a presence in both boxes and If his hold up play is good that’ll do for now.up_the_valley said:

Goodwin is only 21, a couple of years older than the likes of Kanu who most of us think has a lot of potential but is a year or two away from week in week out men’s football. On that basis, all the stats tell me is that he has already played quite a lot of games for a 21 year old lower league player and his game appears to be improving with his goals to games ratio more recently. If Alfie had some input and would like to develop a partnership with him (footballing, keep old Kenneth in his box), then go for it I reckon. Hopefully we will be creating bags more chances than Cheltenham for starters.0

Also hope we sign this player so that every game I can point and mutter the words ‘Goodwin that…’ to my boy. Will be such a very rare but satisfying feeling. No doubt will be subbed off in the 80-85th minute every game 💥 🤯🔫 🍎 🍏 🖕🏻2

He's also a good character to have around the place.fenaddick said:
Think this is it. Coupled with AMB injury tendencies (although that's been fine this season) it's sensible to have someone on the books as cover. He seems happy to be cover tooMarcusH26 said:Ward I don't really understand the logic behind , I guess if they have concerns about Isteds knee being something that will keep him in and out of the squad?2 -

Still grates on me that he scored a hat trick away at Shrewsbury and we lost 4-3 😩. Charlton doing then what they do now score three goals away from home and still can’t win 😤.Dazzler21 said:

Just out of interest, how are the west stand potholes coming on?charente addick said:

Goodwill GoodwinAthletico Charlton said:Pelling1993 said:I remember his celebration against us. Very odd
Ran and cupped his ears to about 3 blokes with thermos flasks and blankets didn't he, thought at the time it was all a bit pathetic and assumed he must be a Palace or Millwall fan or something.
'It was smiles all round at the Valley today after Charlton new boy Will Goodwin bagged a neat hattrick on his home debut.
After securing the match ball the prolific target man sprinted across to the West Stand to celebrate....but not with his manager and the subs bench but with three unsuspecting addicks in tartan blankets.
Goodwin explained "I scored here before and these 3 blokes were giving it all game for no reason. I've played at the Den, Leeds and some proper grim places and am no shrinking violet...but the relentless filth these fellas came out with was beyond obscene and I lost faith in humanity a bit after 90 minutes of rabid abuse so was pleased to score and did a little cup to ear thing.
I think it's caught on cos the gaffer does it to the fans each week now. Anyway it's all forgotten and put to bed and that last goal was for them as a sort of no hard feelings thing".
The SLP caught up with the 3 geriatric die hards (seen here posing with Goodwin and his man of the match award in the Fans' Bar after Saturday's game).
Bert Guntridge, 84, from Bexley said "It's all a bit of pantomime fun and all in the past. I was frothing ovaltine at the ear cup but Will's a good lad now I've got to know him and I wish him the best for his time with us".
"Marjorie Grimbleworth, 77, from RoyalTunbridgeWells, said of the events "Well at the time of ear cup gate I shit my spleen (literally) and had to be held back by my husband and several stewards from climbing onto the pitch to put one on him. But all forgotten now and he signed my programme and looks the type who calls his mother regularly so I'm going to sponsor his shirt".
And finally the ringleader of the hooligan trio, Frederick Alwaysmoan, 82, from Erith quipped "He's shit. Fucking pony. Simon Church would've got 5 today. Fuck him. And fuck charlton. It's all shit. Pie was good today though , bit cold but good so pleased to see they're getting something right".

Don't forget Yaya pissing Sanogo managed to score a hat trick in a match we still lost 4-3. It's our favourite.RedChaser said:

JHC is out of contract this summer, that’s why they want cash for him now. Loaning him to us would deny them the fee they are after, so can’t see that happeningRonnieMoore said:
Why … there talk of us bringing in a young striker and an experienced striker on loan .. why not JHC then he can have his move abroad in the summer after playing some games for usLargeAddick said:

Matthew Sorinola is a free agent, can provide that LWB cover I think we need5

"Southampton boss Russell Martin is reportedly keen reuniting with fellow ex-Swan Matthew Sorinola.PWADDICK said:Matthew Sorinola is a free agent, can provide that LWB cover I think we needAccording to TEAMtalk, the Saints are among a clutch of clubs keen on the full-back, who was recently released by Union Saint-Gilloise.
Preston, Middlesbrough and Stoke are believed to also be keeping tabs."
Will probably get a Championship move.

Season ends on 27 April so it's not technically 'the summer' is it? He'd train with the kids for just under 3 months and then go on holiday. Not to mention that if he's going abroad he can sign a contract with a club now and then basically put his feet up.0
