Got here. Parked in the Asda car park and saw a couple of other City fans in there when I went to have a wee. Feel pretty confident.

Either way we’re losing today 2 or 3

Who’s injured?

It would be very brave to drop Rudi. A few months ago he was being talked about as the best in the championship, premier league quality.
Personally not sure where he fits right now. If Saka plays anyhow.
Simms deserves his chance and shouldn't have lost his place. Hard for him to switch on again I guess after that snub.
Here's hoping for some up tempo aggressive stuff.

He's painful to watch. Static, can't pass reliably, uninvolved in the buildup play, He was dropped for these reasons. Whenever he starts I'm reminded again, I don't like rotation except at 70 mins!

Hes a great player on his day. But theres no denying his form has been well below his usual standard of late. Rumours that he's carrying an injury and needs injections to keep playing could well be true.

We need him at least until BTA comes back from injury.

But still has the same goal involvements than Wright (more assists too).

Nick · 2026-01-01T13:47:34+0000

No team news yet?

Possible late change

Carl Rushworth; Bobby Thomas, Joel Latibeaudiere, Liam Kitching; Milan van Ewijk, Josh Eccles, Matt Grimes, Jamie Allen, Kaine Kesler-Hayden; Ellis Simms, Haji Wright.

5-3-2

AFCCOVENTRY · 2026-01-01T13:49:12+0000

5-3-2

SkyBlue_Bear83 · 2026-01-01T13:49:19+0000

Wing backs with KKH at left wing back

Speedie's Head · 2026-01-01T13:49:20+0000

Top 2, that's much more like it but nobody to bring on

Ccfcisparks · 2026-01-01T13:49:31+0000

Back 5 and a front 2. Like it!

SkyblueTexan · 2026-01-01T13:49:33+0000

Ringing in the changes for the new year.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · 2026-01-01T13:49:56+0000

Torp not in squad

Brighton Sky Blue · 2026-01-01T13:50:42+0000

Decent bench that but the Torp absence a concern

Jamesimus · 2026-01-01T13:50:44+0000

Nice, some options to change things on the bench as well.

Love seeing Lati back in, just head it and boot it as far as possible mate!

AFCCOVENTRY · 2026-01-01T13:50:46+0000

Franky can bring on wingers later into the game.

Will be interesting

Captain Dart · 2026-01-01T13:50:48+0000

Bobby is back then, wrong about that but Lati playing I was right about that.

KKH playing left wing back?

Just noticed that, hopefully not a serious injury.

AFCCOVENTRY · 2026-01-01T13:51:10+0000

Torp is out though

PVA · 2026-01-01T13:51:14+0000

Good to have Thomas back.

EMC, Saka and Rudoni all looked in need of a rest so don't mind that. Gives us options off the bench.

KKH at LWB not a good reflection on Brau and Bidwell.

Reaffirms our need for a CM in the window

TomRad85 · 2026-01-01T13:51:26+0000

Probably should have tried KKH on the left before now but let's see how it goes. Lati and Allen starting in 2026 feels like a war crime but the Charlton team does look hopeless. Get through this then get the wallet out Doug.
