* Mannion is back * The players (who have been playing flat out) got some rest Would like to see: I know we joke about Chuks I would like see him back before he goes Either Dixon or Kanu on the bench at least.
Dixon not even starting in the under 23…..so way off first team action, Kanu not good enough needs a loan
He started and scored in the last U21 game before Christmas.
But i do agree he's probably a way off being considered for the first team.
I went to Crawley the other day and was properly pissed off at the late postponement. But at least it gives us a chance of not having to rest players and keeping an unchanged side.
I have a family get together tomorrow that has been planned for months and I'm not going as I will be at the valley instead. My Mrs and my brother both think I'm being selfish and n o doubt when I don't turn up I'll piss off plenty more relatives. So Charlton better win to make it all worthwhile
How sure are you they'll be pissed off you're not there?
Important to win this to keep the momentum going and engender the beginnings of some belief in NJ. I think we will although it won’t be easy. Unchanged team surely but our bench continue to make me shudder.
You just know the additional rest will make us slow and sluggish, we've done really well with a busy couple of weeks and it was a pain to see that ended by a postponement.
Personally I see this one as a 50/50 and with that I will go for a Desmond. 2-2.

What was our last ‘U23’s’ starting line up Ronnie?
I'm sure Ronnie is aware that Dixon was nowhere near our u23's last game.

50/50 that knocks the 7/6Huddersfield game into a cocked hat! Ahadme might even get one!
Eventually the starters will need a rest/ form shakeup/not actually take a lead and those options give us replacements to maintain our shape and style and have some sort of attacking intent rather than having to rely on the hustle and bustle boys to see a game out....Maybe in another half a season 😅
Looking forward to this. A game that actually seems to have a bit riding on it, not on tv, a decent away following, we've hit form, its a saturday and i'm expecting the ground to feel a bit fuller and livelier than it has been. A 3-2 thriller with us nicking it at the end in front of a baying covered end sucking the ball into the net - COYR!!!
Frost on cars and tiles in Lee has gone away since this morning, so has the cold frosty looking stuff that was on the grass I could see outside. Looks cold, but kind of still and light outside.
From memory, whenever we had a match called off at the valley, it was always near the corner flag area, where the sun never shone and the pitch stayed frozen, hairdryers at the ready lads!

he reckons 3-1 today with Leaburn, TC and Godden scoring
I’ve also asked him to pick the lottery numbers

Did well last u21's game though.
Exactly as designed
Mannion, REG, Taylor, Anderson, Kanu, Ahadme, Godden

2-1
Edit: Kanu over Dixon I meant
Would it be foolish to water the playing surface on a day like today?
