So Pratley out suspended having picked up 5 yellows in the last 5 games he's played unbelievable! Sarr going to have to play left back and an unfit Bielik to play Centre Back. AllHell
We're better off without Pratley. He's over the hill and he can't control his petulence. He'll probably have 10 yellow cards just in time for a nice couple of games off at Christmas. I hope George Lapslie starts the game. He gets yellow cards too, but for better reasons than 'Prats' (or whatever they call him). Lapslie hasn't been in the starting XI for eight league games. He was an unused sub during our drubbing at Scunthorpe.
I agree with @lardiman in that from what I have seen of Pratley, he is a dirty old clogger. Djiksteel can play right back on Saturday, with 5'3 swapping sides. Sarr is a truly appalling defender, the likes of which I never expected to see in a Charlton shirt again after Lawrie Madden left
We didn't pay 2.5m euros for Lorry Madden, and he wasn't our highest earner either, but otherwise it's a fair comparison.
Gotta say I have a soft spot for Lawrie Madden. Not the most gifted player but my fading memories have him in a fairly poor Charlton team. Did he just coincide with Paul Walsh beginning to play?
That’s correct. He went on to have a half decent spell at Sheff Wed. The difference between Madden and Naby Sarr is that in those days, sh1t players earned sh1t money.
A message from my mobile at half time and another at full time is the best I'll be able to manage, unless there is another lengthy stoppage in play. I'll call it as I see it gentlemen
