Birmingham v Charlton

Huge match tonight. Birmingham are sliding down the table but there are enough out of form teams at the bottom including ourselves, to give them a hope of survival by inertia.
For us we need to find a win and a goal (or three). We need an attacking formation. Not necessarily lots of strikers, but lots of supply. Give Bonne a rest maybe, start William's, and try and get an early goal. Win this, and we can breathe a lot easier. A loss, given Luton chipping away at the gap between us, and it'll be a horrible few days.

I’m not a religious person but I’m praying for a win tonight

 

Whoever scores the first goal wins.

We lose and I'm seeing the trap door opening.

 

Massive massive game, win and I think we stay up, lose and it could be curtains.

Phillips
Matthews Lockyer Pearce Doughty

Field Pratley Cullen

Williams Mcgeady

Bonne

 

A point will keep us up and ensure the spanners have two cup finals next year.

 

Whoever scores the most goals wins

 

60 seconds away from the safety of relegation.

Ffs

 

240 seconds - they scored in the 3rd minute of 7 minutes of extra time - but I know what you mean mate

 

Here is what we had ready to go at the start of injury time

‪A point this Saturday v Wigan will guarantee Championship football for Charlton Athletic. Failing that a Hull v Luton draw will be enough. #cafc ‬


Gutted but it keeps happening

 

1-0 up with 10 minutes to go and Bowyer makes 4 changes - what the actual fook??

His inexperience is costing you.

 

Surely we can still go down by only getting 1 point from the next 2 games.

 

Point v Wigan is the bare minimum you need.
For the neutral aspect, a Barnsley win tomorrow would make it very interesting for top and bottom.

Relegation odds
Barnsley 1/12
Hull 1/3
Luton 1/2
Charlton Evens
Huddersfield 5/2

 

If Barnsley win today I will be astonished.
But it is a derby game, and nothing is impossible.

It would give us some hope going into the last day of the season. If Barnsley can beat them, perhaps we could too.
But a Leeds defeat will make it more likely that they still have something to play for on 22nd - not good news for us.

So if it's all the same I'd prefer Leeds to give Barnsley a thorough spanking this evening.

 

Cooled down after last night, but while I want Bowyer to continue, the substitutions did us nothing but harm. Freshen up tiring legs, yes. Shore up the defence yes. But make mass change of midfield for defenders when we actually had them losing composure? We surrendered all the initiative, invited them onto us for a surge and duly surrendered two priceless points.
Powell used to do that (Blackpool st home was a memorable example,).
Had we clung on those last few minutes, today would be very different but we now need points against inform teams, when our own morale is dangerously close to splintering. Not a clever move Lee but sadly a very repetitive one.

 

Not a fan of 5 subs, we were beating them, why change half the team?
