    Hopefully Elliott gets a good reception. Charlton fan and all that. 
    Next Charlton manager maybe 
    There can't be many ex goalkeepers who are managers in the football league. 
    Apparently the Portuguese manager of Forest was a keeper.

    Yes who played with that Director of football who was a former CB of Charlton
  • Jacob Miles will now be the referee. Craig Hicks is injured and been replaced.

    Add to them the Bromley and West Ham managers.

    Our old friend Nigel Adkins currently of L2 Tranmere was a goalkeeper.

    I’d like to see Tyreece at the top of the diamond in Berry’s absence. A bit like Fosu used to in the early Bowyer diamond team, drifting out left but also picking it up centrally and driving at teams 
    Was going to say exactly this but beaten to it. Feel like TC would fit there perfectly at the moment with his pace, energy and much improving ability to really harass defenders. Think he'd really alleviate some of the issues we've been having recently with our lack of pace.
  • Didn’t realise Berry was suspended due to the yellow cards, 5 in the league already is quite a lot for a player who hasn’t played loads of minutes. A few of them unnecessary too.

    Good opportunity for someone else to play in the 10, even if it’s Godden like last midweek. Do like the idea of TC being that player too. However, with the lack of pace in general, having him off the bench is a useful option.

    He got like 4 in the first 4 games or something 
  • Camara to run the midfield & Barker to boss their defence. Malarkey nets the winner. 

    0-1.

  • Missing Doc and Berry, surely a chance for Kai Enslin at least on the bench.

    • This will be the first ever EFL meeting between Charlton Athletic and Crawley Town; the Addicks have only won one of the last 10 occasions that they have faced a side for the first time in the top four tiers (D6 L3), beating Burton Albion 2-1 in November 2018.
    • The last two meetings between Charlton and Crawley in all competitions (both in the EFL Trophy) have both seen seven goals scored, with the Addicks winning 6-1 in August 2021 and the Red Devils winning 4-3 in September 2023.
    • Charlton have only lost one of their last 14 home league games (W5 D8), a 1-2 defeat to Blackpool in September.
    • Crawley Town are winless in their last seven away league matches (D2 L5), failing to score in five of them (2 goals total).

    On the last bullet point I'm going 5-0 to Crawley.
  • Has the potential of a banana skin. Tight game. 1-1.
  • Missing Doc and Berry, surely a chance for Kai Enslin at least on the bench.
    Would like to see this, big step up from efl trophy/21s to league one football particularly from a physicality perspective but he certainly has the technical ability.
  • Hopefully we win and will be nice to see Elliot who is probably our best keeper since Kiely
    Scott Carson was incredible in his season with us but was only on loan so maybe doesn't count.

    I've thought about it and I don't think I'd put Elliot all that high for us. I'd put Carson, Hamer, Randolph, Pope and maybe even Phillips and Henderson above him since Kiely. Elliot wasn't particularly brilliant for us but he does have more than 50 Premier League appearances so maybe that's harsh
    I wouldnt put Pope there at all, he has done brilliantly but for us he really wasnt that good
  • Carson was outstanding for us (possibly doesn't count as it was a loan though) 
    Hamer - Preferred him personally. Helped that he had such a good defence in front of him though. 
    Randolph - Always preferred him out of the two at the time tbh. 
  • Well, it must count if a loanee can get bloody POTY, as Rak Saki.
  • Not to mention Enslin who has been mentioned on here as a potential to replace Docherty / Berry on the bench

    Imagine that'll be Edun
  • We have pace & trickery.......just not in the 1st team. 
  • Rob Elliot made an outstanding impression on me when I met him in one if the lounges. This was before he'd made his debut.He was polite,helpful and spoke very well for someone who was only 18 at the time. Its a shame he didn't play as many games professionally but I think he'll have a good future in the game. 
  • A must win game on a cold Tuesday night with the Valley just under a third full

    Scott Carson wins that title.  Randolph was better as well.
  • I'd easily go for Carson as the best keeper since Deano. I know he was only a loan but he was absolutely outstanding. Hamer probably up there too - remember one outstanding performance he had at The Amex to get a point Vs Brighton.
