Lati > Wolf is interesting. He’ll put it down to rotation but I wonder if in reality performance is a factor.

Midfield looks a bit toothless but hopefully having two strikers negates that.

Unless he's putting lati rcb and Thomas in the middle?

[PVA]

Have Wright and Simms ever played well as a two?

Didn't work at all when they first joined in Robins' 3-5-2

 

[skybluecb]

Not a lot of creativity in this team especially out wide but let's see how Simms and Wright get on together up top.i would have loved to have seen EMC playing with them as a three, might still happen.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

No striker on the bench

 

[richnrg]

I like the sound of the Charlton number 6. Own goal from him would be good.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Think we need to make a statement from kick off.
A 2 footer and 3 goals within the first 5 minutes will do.

There’s the old Nick we all know and love.

Thats what it will be id imagine

 

[David O'Day]

He went down with his ankle didn’t he?

then played on, as said looked ill so could easily be that

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I expect Wright will score today. Can't see him going no goals in 12.

 

[Chris1987]

Obviously some players getting a necessary rest . Hopefully should be more than good enough to beat Charlton . One more game after this before a break for most ( FA Cup I'm sure will be reserves ) and hopefully some reinforcements before the next league game.

 

[Balli001]

coughing again when he weat off. I think we've not managed this flu bug well, it needs rest usually.

How do you suggest we manage it? So many games in a short space of time and training together

 

[SBT]

Latibeaudiere generally looks most comfortable in a back 3, so not surprised to see him start if that's our formation today. A strong bench full of difference-makers too.

Not really, they've played well together but usually with Haji on left

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Day after I got married 21/12/1996

After those two days of excitement, I bet you needed a lie down.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

We haven't named the full quota of substitutes on the bench

 

[CCFC96]

Like that line-up - excited to see Simmo and Wright playing together. The fact they’re unchanged after playing 3 days ago is a bonus.

Horrible 2-0 win for Cov I reckon.

 

[Grendel]

I expect Wright will score today. Can't see him going no goals in 12.

Gyokeres went 14 without a goal one season here

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Wow the fans on twitter are not happy with that lineup

Not sure on the relevance !

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Us or Charlton fans?

 

[SBT]

Would suggest a late dropout - maybe Torp?

 

[Jamesimus]

Us or Charlton fans?

Ours.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Playing a right back at LWB when you’ve got two LBs on the bench shows how much faith Lampard has in this squad.

We need to give him the tools to finish the job.

 

[matesx]

Wow the fans on twitter are not happy with that lineup

Because most of them are brain dead morons

 

[Grendel]

Not sure on the relevance !

Well you have kept blathering on about his lack of goals as a justification to replace him with Simms.

I’m pretty certain Regis once went about 30 games without a goal

Gyokeres did get an assist on his 12th game without a goal so hopefully Haji can match that today!

I'd settle for a few aerial battle wins though.

Called it yesterday on this thread.

(Pulls smug as fuck face)

 

[shmmeee]

Hearing Torp has been sold.

(Come on it’s new years tradition!)

 

[Ian1779]

Maybe a last minute drop out this morning?

 

[stevefloyd]

Thats an interesting selection, I guess fuelled by our defence giving chances like free gifts and hopefully tightening up and going with 2 upfront or making Haji play from the left where he always seems more comfortable and he should get more space because he's been awful up front on his own

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Maybe a last minute drop out this morning?

Probably torp ill.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Frank is obviously resting players, some of them do look knackered.

If we don’t get a result he’ll be kicking down Doug’s door for bodies, and just pointing at today’s squad.

Pretty much the only thing you’ve ever called right, well done!
