    I go with this, great shout mate. we could field both those teams and still have a very strong game changing bench, which we have already of course.

    The O/9 question is one only time will sort out, my idea would be to play Power and O/9 as the central part of a midfield four in a 3/4/3 and include Connor N , Sanderson, and Wright in a back three in which Sanderson would be central just behind the other two in a sort of sweeper role,( if this makes sense to anyone but me Im not sure ), but it solves a few problems on paper at least, my front three would be McG. Wyke and Jones . Just who plays in the wide midfield area would depend on form and circumstance but Gooch and Hume would do for me.

    I don’t think Charlton have lost away from home since January.
    Must be due then.

    They do concede an awful lot though. I think and hope our forwards will score, and they bloody should when you look who we have, whilst our defence is fairly solid. Cannot see past a home win.

    Can see us losing both tbh, they are flying. As long as win all our others though it should see us through.

    Charlton look strong away. Hopefully a moment of magic wins it for us in what could be a very nervy affair for both sides

    Charlton are close to a defeat or two ending their season

    Agree, will be a very tough game. Seen a few posts predicting a 4-0 home win etc. We could easily drop points, so need to be on our A-game.

    People keep saying that but ignoring the fact that, since the start of March, they've drawn at home to ...

    ... Crewe, Wimbledon, Fleetwood, Burton and Plymouth.

    During that time they've had 7 home games and only 3 away which has skewed things slightly.

    Their form isn't as good as it first looks.

    We are absolutely flying, any team coming up against us will be worried and setting up to stop us. Embleton and Robson out of both fixtures will weaken their squad

    Robson is not out of any of the games against us. They signed him after we released him

    Why? We are unbeaten in 12 and 3rd. We have more points and more clean sheets than them. I get it they may be tricky games but how you see two defeats is beyond me.

    He is quick and not bad going forward tbh, but he has never looked comfortable defending. When Power is at right back we are literally playing with a back two, under the circumstances Sanderson and O/9 have worked miracles but we look much safer when Connor Mc, is playing and we play a back three, with Power playing his central midfield role in which he has excelled this season.

    Am I right in thinking we dont have to worry about suspensions from yellow cards now. Did they reset again at the end of March. I seem to think some rule changes came in this year but not sure.

    We havent lost in 12 and have just drawn with the team in 2nd. How do you see us losing them based on how we've been playing?????
