He was only on for a couple of minutes and never got into the game.Not sure what needs to be done to be honest but something has to be done, yesterday apart from Davies it was our strongest squad so it will be a case of juggling what we have, Thomas had a poor game but has to play, Chaplin and JCH just doesn’t work we have Hiwulu but Robins won’t play him out and out striker. I suppose he could give Allassini a run looked lively for his ten minute run out yesterday might give us a different option but to me and against a decent Charlton team I fear the worse.
Time was dragging by that point it was a few minutes, Shipley too, just what Robins thought would be achieved in that time is a mystery and you are correct Grendel Allassini probably isn’t ready yet but who else is there ?He was only on for a couple of minutes and never got into the game.
To be honest there's not many who are ready to start games atm!!Allasani isn’t ready to start games
Yeah that's the thing. Both quick and powerful.Charlton have the best forward line I've seen this season. Another tough game.

If we want to sit and invite pressure all game it could get messy.
I agree.Allasani isn’t ready to start games
Could this work ? Grimmer in at right back, Sterling pushed forward into right midfield a position I think he could end up in, the rest of midfield being Kelly, Ogogo with Thomas on the left and a front two of Chaplin and Hiwula got to try something different, the line-up yesterday will win f/a.
If Chaplin is to be delivering balls into the box, we need Chaplin in the box to get on the end of Chaplin's crosses.Not sure who we will have fit will Doyle or Davies be available?
Assuming they are both available would go with the following.
Burge. Gk
Sterling. RB
Brown. LB
Davies. CB
Willis. CB
Kelly. CM
Doyle. CM
Thomas. RW
Chaplin. LW
JCH. ST
Hiwula. ST
I think Chaplin good going down the side and can deliver good balls in like he did at Charlton.
Subs: Lob, grimmer, hyam, ogogo, Bayliss, Shipley, Allesani
No Hyam ? He was different class yesterday.Not sure who we will have fit will Doyle or Davies be available?

We can’t go on losing forever. Surprise 1-0 victory and hopefully a decent display.
Your right this losing streak will end, And hopefully it will be against Charlton.
Not sure about 1-0, City keeping a clean sheet!!

We haven't got anybody to come off the bench and go at them to save usCharlton will be hurting after our smash and grab result at theirs I expect a backlash

That's a worry alright we have no game changers on the bench but then again if there was they would probably only come on in the 90th minute anywayWe haven't got anybody to come off the bench and go at them to save us
That's some insight! Did you find MR's tactics laptop abandoned on a train?I think our best hope for this is that Charlton have too much Xmas dinner! Though it's far more likely they'll feast on a load of Sky Blue turkeys and give us a right stuffing.
What would I do? Give Thomas and Allassani a bit of freedom to go forward and alternate and get Chaplin and Hiwula playing to get in behind their defence rather than dropping off. Have them alternating pulling out wide to make space if necessary

Most importantly, if this wasn't working I'd be looking to make changes early if it wasn't working.
What will MR do? Probably keep in JCH and Bayliss out wide unless Doyle is still injured.
Keep it tight first half, then not do anything inspiring at HT and give Charlton all the attacking initiative and impetus for the whole second half. Then make a late like-for-like change in a non-attacking position.
that side gets beat 3-0--------------Burge------------
Grimmer--Willis--Hyam--Brown
Thomas--Ogogo--Kelly--Shipley
---------Hiwula----JCH--------
Left hand side side is a huge issue, Hiwula has tried and failed, Allasani I’ve question marks over the defensive aspects of the job the same as Hiwula, so Shipley gets the narrow vote over asking Thomas to switch sides as that didn’t seem to favour him Saturday.
Chaplin, Bayliss on the bench.
