Games don’t come much bigger than this tonight. With Robinson already sizing up his suit for a trip to Wembley, we really are just 14 games away from a prestigious trip to the Twin Towers in the EFL Trophy. Luckily we have avoided the giants in this round - you really don’t want to be playing Chelsea Under 23s or Leicester City Academy at this stage. Team selection for us revolves around whether Karlan Aherne- Grant will partner Reeco Hackett-Fairchild up front, in our worst attacking line up in our 112 year history. See you all at the Valley at 7.45 (Not)
I am really looking forward to this one. Just cleaning my rattle and will be wearing my rosette. Should be a cracking atmosphere.
If we got to Wembley in this competition and Duchatelet was still here, how many do you think we would take ? 10,000. Less ?
If we did make it to Wembley to play Chelsea Under 23s in the final, just imagine our Royal Box ... Sue Parkes Ivor Katrien Meire (architect of our success)
Mock if you must. I would actually go to this if I were in the UK tonight. Make no mistake, this is our current level, and anyone who thinks otherwise sjhould check our attacking options, and those we have had ever since RD decided Kermo was past it.
What a season we are having! THREE chances to get to Wembley; 1. FA Cup 3rd round against Spurs ... Doh! AFC Wimbledon beat us to that one. 2. Checkatrade Trophy Final ... STILL ON! 3. League One Play-Off Final ... STILL ON! Twenty Years of hurt - It's about time the Addicks returned to the Home of Football...
CHARLTON | Phillips, Dijksteel, Konsa, Jackson (c), Dasilva, Kashi, Aribo, Marshall, Ahearne-Grant, Reeves, Magennis. #cafc Subs Amos, Lennon, Mascoll, Lapslie, Holmes, Mavididi, Hackett- Fairchild.
Strong line up. Neil Harris & Alex Neil are there, watching our players. Millwall can have Ben Reeves.
From comments on Twitter it appears Magennis has stunk the ground out tonight. The non striking striker who might as well be on strike. Matividi on for JM now.
