    I don't see how it's still not the same formation with Thomas at LB.
    Think it's three centre backs AND Edun that's throwing people off.
  • Looks like a 433 to me with Edun in midfield and Thomas at LB. Can’t see a situation where we finally change our formation with that level of player but then who knows with Appleton
    That’s what I thought initially but then the OS mentioned wing backs so 🤷‍♂️ 
  • Surprised Deji isnt on the bench, bit brave to go into the game with three Centre-Backs starting, but no option on the bench for worst case scenario
  • Appleton on Charlton TV said there’s going to be a new formation from us today

    MA: "we've been working for 2 and a half days on a formation that we think can beat Peterborough so it was a bit late to bring in Conor from the start"


    Suggests it will be a different formation today.
  • Really can’t see us going to a 3-4-3 in the long term with our squad of about 100 midfielders.

    But have mentioned with the extra quality we are looking to bring up top, and to get the best out of May (who has been amazing anyway) I wouldn’t be shocked if we are planning for a 3-5-2. 

    Assume if so they have planned this with CBT always likely to go. 
    There won’t be 100 midfielders by the end of the window, hopefully. Fraser may be off quite soon by the looks of it. Louie May struggle to get minutes. But Terry Thomas will be like a new accidental signing. 
  • A new formation

    Well stone. Me down.

    Fraser will probably be off, hopefully Anderson gets a loan move too.

    Oh yea of little faith 😉

    That's surprised even me, someone who's behind Appleton more than others!

    I would imagine a big piece of it is finding a way to get May back centrally and give him a proper chance. Playing 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 with him as the lone striker was really stifling him. Now the two Campbells will be able to play more centrally to support Alfie, with the wing backs giving us the width.

  • bye Corey and thanks for the memories 
    And Fraser
  • Watson on the bench. Shock.

    If that quote is true how are they going to cope with CBT being out seeing as he'd have been part of this new formation we'd been working on?

    Like the studio line-up, much better...beware Brownie...😉
  • OS says 3-4-3. Surprised me as MA was looking like one of those managers determined to make his favoured formation work. Good to see he can be flexible.

    Well I guess Chem/TC had been training the formation as well so they can just come in for CBT.

    But I would have thought it a bit to late for Conor to come into the start for any formation as he wouldn’t have had much time to train with the squad at all anyway.

  • A new formation hoorah. Appleton surely should have tried something different a few weeks ago.

    Edun isn't a good enough LB in a 4, so I'm happy to see him as a wing back

    3-5-2 or 3-4-3 is better balanced.... I hope

    CBT off I think

    Derby quietly confident he's joining them 
    He's injured...🤷‍♂️😉
    No
    We've been playing a new formation for 2 1/2 days with wing backs- using our full backs 

    Corey got "injured" yesterday

    I'm pretty sure, seeing as I live in Derby and I've been told, confidently, he's leaving Charlton

    Derby want him but it's not a signed deal as there is other interest......

    Wooooosh...course he ain't injured...😉
  • Apples last words as they leave the dressing room 'spread out lads'.
  • BOOO, Brownies back...we want Carla...

    She's a bit young for you😀
  • Is it just me or is it sparser than normal here today?
  • Coventry seems like a proper geezer.
  • I thought Appleton was welded to 4-3-3/4-2-3-1?
    He might still be - they are warming up with 4 at the back, with Edun presumably pushed into midfield.

    Let's hope he gets 'double busy' on the pitch.
