Think we will win. Appreciate we are only winning by a goal at the mo but feel that if we start well, we might see 2-3 go in as we are playing that way, just need to convert them.
Feel Tanto might start along with Leaburn. Think Apter may also come in as we might go for it and will get more balls in the box if those 2 start up top. Tanto also has the ability to run in behind aswell.
3-1 CAFC (Tanto, Doc, L.Jones)
Just can't see Jones dropping Kelman and Campbell at same time.
I think we will see the exactly same starting 11 as that which won last weekend. While the subs changed the formula, overall, I can’t see Nathan wanting to shuffle the team having given such a good account of themselves.
2-0 to Charlton - think this is the game we take more than one chance while continuing to keep it very tight at the back. Fancy Lloydy to convert a chance - has to come off soon he is getting at least a chance a game I think.
Derby are a much more physical opponent than Blackburn. So I think the likes of Burke, Leaburn, Olaofe and maybe Knibbs could start on Tuesday to give us a bit more size and power
For tomorrow I think we will see Ramsay in for Burke and then maybe Apter for Bree but I could see Bree keeping his spot
I don't know if you are right or wrong but Valerian Ismael sides are no shrinking violets...
That’s a fair point, was mainly looking at Derby potentially having a huge front 2 of Morris and Agyemang, so I think we might need Burke to play on Tuesday for some extra height at the back
Ismael is a bit like Jones in how much he loves a press to try and pin teams in. I’d play Ramsay tomorrow for that reason as he and Bell should help us beat the press
I can see Apter or Ramsay returning, maybe both, but no changes elsewhere. Going to be a close game, they have been good away from home, but I'm going for a 2-1 home win. Kelman to open his account, Tanto or Leaburn to get the winner.

Yes. it is a home game so Apter may start and Bree on Tuesday.
This league is clearly extremely relentless, I don't think Tuesdays game will even enter into the conversation on resting and rotating etc. Nathan will play his strongest team possible then Tuesday again will be strongest of who's fit.
Personally don't think he'll change a winning team, Bree and Burke to start.
I’m positive about our chances as well. I think last week’s win could’ve really given us a shot in the arm. Like every game this season we’ll face yet another tough team, but I don’t see why we can’t get a tight/hard fought win
Some interesting selection issues and a very difficult one to call, although Nathan sees these players every day in training and knows where they're all at.
He may keep an unchanged side, although my feeling is that tomorrow’s line-up may reflect both the characteristics of the next two opponents and the fact that we're at home tomorrow and away on Tuesday. If so, I'd expect Ramsey - with his recovery pace to deal with Blackburn’s counter-attacks - and Apter - to give us a bit more attacking verve - to play tomorrow. In that event, Burke and Bree may well start on Tuesday to give us a bit more solidity and counter Derby’s physicality and threat from set pieces.
I don’t see Nathan changing the front two. Campbell is playing well and he may feel he needs to persist with Kelman, at least for the time being. As in the last few games, I imagine that Leaburn and Tanto will get some time off the bench and I’d expect one of them to start against Derby.
Tight game ahead and unlike last week I would think a few more Addicks favour us to steal this. Not sure, Blackburn look quite similar to us with their 1-0 wins and I think they might sneak this, 1-0 to Blackburn.
Only a few home blocks have sold out so far and it seems clear that Blackburn haven't shifted their allocation of 2,000. Maybe an away following of 1,600 - 1,700 ?
Hopefully we'll sell some walk ups tomorrow but I think this will struggle to make the 20,000 mark.
Have we a match on Saturday ? Haven't given it much thought what with the Ryder Cup being on.
So you'll all be glad that I wont be posting much on the Match Thread.....if at all. Might just have time to switch channels on Sky to see the updates on Soccer Saturday once in a while.
My prediction......Rory to secure another point for Europe, and TC to do the same for us

I do not know how much longer we can say this, but hopefully a lot longer
2-0
and there was I thinking he was just having a cheeky dig at the the thread from yesterday 😉

1-0 us. Kelman

wonder if JRC will get on the pitch too?
