With one of our 606 Mods seemingly lost in deepest Herefordshire, and the other one allegedly held hostage by Reams, it falls to me to start tomorrow's match thread. All mentions of Elf's olive green coat are banned from this thread With Jordan Botaka on a high after his appearance on Come Dine With Me this week - dare I suggest he could cook up a goal for us if he starts tomorrow ? This is a must win game for Slade. Bribery- for- a fiver will see 5000 plastics give up the comfort of their Aga to descend on the Valley , and like us stalwarts they want to see 4-4-2 and some attacking football. Must, must win. Thoughts and predictions ?
I'm missing this one as I'm goin with my daughter to Reading university university open day. Reading are fresh off of 2 wins on the spin including a thrilling 3 2 victory at the Den. I'm going for a 3 1 Charlton win and Slade to wet himself afterwards at how amazing we were.
Also missing this one- made other plans before the fixture list announced Plus- not sure I could do 3 games in a week Prediction: 1-1, same story...
I simply don't see a change in our strategy in the offing, so sadly I'll go for a repeat ofthe Wimbledon game, with us losing 1-2 having scored first. Basically I thought Brussel would have put two and two together against Oldham. He has now convinced me that rather than an upward curve, he is seeking a plateau of dullness, and behold. We are already there.
Even if Slade doesn't promote creativity and freedom in his play, tomorrow will be the biggest crowd some have played in and that should put some fire in the belly. Still think Slade will make defensive subs and end up drawing.
Anybody remember MikeTyson's classic blow-by-blow commentary on not606 of when he got pissed and fell in a pond?
I'm going to have to ask JR about that one. But you wouldn't want to hear my stories @ForestHillBilly. Got a blondie asking me what "Not606" is...
Haven't been to a match at the valley in over a year, but will be going to this with a Rochdale supporting friend, and will be sat in the away end. If we get tanked it will be the most depressing thing since the bus journey home from operation ewood...
Ewood still hurts. I was foolishly naive to think a season in the championship could be a good thing. At that time I didn't think we'd ever be here.
