Right now I would probably drop Coventry. Either way we’ve got to get Louie Watson in the team.1

That's why losing CBT is going to be a major problem unless you have good wing backs or attacking full back similar to a fit Wiggins unless you have forwards (if you play 3 up front) who can emulate Taylor/Grant who could move from Central to Wide and back again depending which side we were attacking from.
3-5-2 can be great to watch when you are playing well and with confidence but a nightmare when it breaks down and you are hit in transition with the shape in tatters.
I do like two strikers in tandem but the wing back scenario will only work with quality fit players who can cross well and defend well which begs the question why are they at a team in the lower reaches of the 3rd tier !

Isted
Asiimwe REG Gillesphey Thomas Edun
Coventry
Bakinson Watson
May Ladapo
Assimwe and Edun can both get up the pitch from what we’ve seen. Not at the same time, preferably.If things don’t work, obvious substitutions are available.Yet again though, not sure if any of that back three are leaders of men types. All seem a bit quiet when interviewed.5 -
I'd go with that, not sure Appleton will though.JamesSeed said:

Without a doubt you have to find a way of playing that suits the players we have, whether dropping Dobbo is the answer I'm not sure. It's worth remembering that by all accounts we dominated the midfield on Saturday and the chances created probably confirm that, my concern would be that back three and the right wing back position, we've leaked goals all season, that needs to stop.SouthWest_Addicks said:
I said the same earlier up the thread. That midfield three probably doesn’t work together (Haven’t seen Coventry or Bakinson, but from comments hear they are very similar). Would bring L Watson back in for Dobson.Chunes said:I'd drop Dobbo. Might be controversial. But with our run of form, time to freshen things up.Bring pressure on Watson/Edun to create in the final 3rd in this formation. Imagine we will see some changes in the back 3. It’s tough for Ness having barely played the whole season and two matches later being dropped again.0 -
Agree with that team Mr. Seed. I sincerely hope Tennai and Jones are both taken out of the team tomorrow.1

Probably right. But it seems every season we as fans are just playing the same game. Manager has a little run when all the team are fit. Fans are happy. Those players then get injured, the team slides and the manager is given chants of sack the manager. Its ludicrous.EveshamAddick said:
I don’t think we can wait until Chuks and Leaburn are fit..ValleyOfTears said:Alperton should be judged on a fit fiest team. If he is fired for not getting results without Chuks and Leaburn up top then it I simply a repeat of September again. We've learned nothing.
It would be interesting to know if these managers would have taken the job if the board said to him "we will be without Aneke, Leaburn, CBT et Al this season" would they still take the job?0 -
Yes this is without question a strange understanding of a very poor first division manager 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣blackpool72 said:

Makes no difference who we sign with this clown in charge.
Get rid now and give the new bloke a chance to see what's needed in the summer
What you are asking for here, according to Einstein, is madness.
The second things go wrong in toxicvalleyworld is a cry to sack the manager. Appleton has proven he can bring success at this level. He isn't the problem.
During the last ten years i've read plenty of stupid posts.
But congratulations you have outdone them all.0 -
Would any of you Guys have Lee Bowyer back ?0 -
Yes , I’ve had a few different diets etc and the change in gut action isn’t that great but I do go on runs of no chocolate and healthy eating every so often , just need an upturn in Charlton’s fortunes to move me away from this comfort eating .swords_alive said:
I get that your gut issues are part of your biography as you often refer to it on here and have for a long while. Has no-one ever pointed out how 5 a day (fruit and veg) could help solve your issues, and fermented foods, including the benefits of live yoghurt?oohaahmortimer said:Too much crab /safety first football with us , no one wants to gamble, Louie Watson is a front foot positive footballer, yes he may not be in the best of form but looks to make things happen .
With CBT gone we have limited ability to make something out of nothing , Rak Sakyi saved us from this shitstorm last season .
We may just need a new manager bounce to get us to safety .
More comfort chocolate , more poo, no sleep ffs
i can highly recommend Marks & Spencer’s chocolate covered custard creams , not for the faint hearted , super expensive 6 for £2.50 ffs can be sickly if you’re not hardcore but it’s a king of biscuits and worth a gamble , enjoy .
tried the M&S milk chocolate coated bourbon creams tonight , reasonable and not as sickly but the custard cream one is the winner0 -
Very similar to what I’d go with but don’t think Appleton will.JamesSeed said:

i'd have bowyer or CP back like a shot - both proved they could put a team together and get promoted - even better if they gave curbs a role in the setup - manager's advisor or something - the peacock role - as much or as little as he'd want to do - never gonna happen coz its all too obvious, would be too successful and get fans back on side - ridiculous to even consider it1968CAFC said:

I am certain the real loyal fans would love that, as personally I think our present manager is completely out of his depth and does not inspire confidence at all !!DOUCHER said:

Just from what I've read here probably Duff (who might accept the job) and Rowett (who might not). But I'm not really very knowledgeable about which managers are and aren't available.1968CAFC said:0 -
