Match Day Thread Bristol Rovers v Charlton

On the crest of a wave after Saturday's mightily impressive victory over Port Vale, Kevin Nugent's promotion seeking Addicks head to Bristol Rovers tonight looking for the three points that will consolidate their place in mid table.

With Chris Solly joining Ricky Holmes on the injury list, and Teixera and Ba still seemingly not available for selection , selection options for tonight look thinner than Mo Farah's arse. Nobody can have been impressed with Botaka and Hanlon's contributions from off the bench on Saturday, which means that tonight's team basically picks itself.

Thank God for that Top 6 budget eh

Likely Addicks line up:

Rudd
Foley
Fox
Pearce
Bauer
Jackson
Crofts
Ulvestad
Lookman
Ajose
Magennis

 

#Huh

 

Exciting

 

If it goes ahead I see a draw. With the state of the pitch I foresee it being a busy night for Magennis' head

 

I didn't even know Bristol Rovers were in our league...

 

It's going to be boring...

Wow - what a really terrible line up.

Phillips and Chicksen in too - starting to look like a League 2 side

 

Staying with a mate that lives in Bristol, got wrecked and will miss kick off, Iooking at that XI I'm pleased I did, it's worse than Slade, 7 defenders?!

 

Someone has posted that we have 8 defenders tonight & the keepers

 

Another goal from Lookman. Roland will be seeing £££££££££££££££ on his live stream

 

This game is pretty decent, we're playing well and winning comfortably, Rovers' defence is poor but Magennis is playing well and that Chicksen is doing well too! In all honesty Lookman hasn't done much but can turn on the class, like his turn before his goal. There was quite a big deflection but I'm sure it'll count as his.

 

Well. I'm glad I didn't make a prediction as I never saw that coming. Just shows not having a manager is preferable to having Slade in charge.
Still time for us to cower our way to defeat but looking sweet at the moment.

 

Just goes to show that when the shackles are off its not a bad team.

We need reinforcements to challenge, but sacking Slade might be the first time KM's famous quote of "it's been the right decision every time" comes to fruition.

 

Probably the spirits talking but we really are playing quite well, Phillips made some top saves too.

 

Indeed.

I stuck us in a 5 fold with Leicester, Madrid, Bolton and Plymouth. Of course Plymouth are losing two at home to Barnet

 

A rovers steward tried to throw out a Charlton fan for filming chants. Bizarre. Atmosphere is alright too, seems like half the people here are pissed too.

 

He's always been a great shot-stopper.

 

He's handled crosses pretty well tonight too

 

That strange optimistic feeling is returning
