Norwich Match Thread

FA cup - drew at home, won away. Think it was shelveys first goal for us.

We stopped the rot in the league against palace - Matt spring.

 

Ah yes. How could I forget Matt Spring?

I'd settle for Deon Burton, Keith Gillespie and Danny Butterfield on loan now as it goes.

 

Can't make it tonight (un) fortunately, can't imagine it'll be a good attendance. I'll be there on valentines though for my true love, COYA.

 

I wonder how many times Luzin is going to lie about the size of his Johnson...

"I'm telling you guys. It's this:
✋---------------- ------------------✋
BIG"

What a ✊

 

Evening all


Charlton: Dmitrovic, Solly, Wiggins, Ben Haim, Bikey-Amougou, Gudmundsson, Buyens, Jackson, Cousins, Bulot, Vetokele

Subs: Etheridge, Wilson, Gomez, Harriott, Onyewu, Watt, Lepoint


Norwich: Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin, Bassong, Olsson; Redmond, Howson, Tettey, Johnson; Hooper, Grabban

Subs: Rudd, Cuellar, Jerome, Andreu, Hoolahan, Garrido, Murphy


So Vetokele, Bikey, Jackson and Wiggin return to the starting line-up, with Watt, Onyewu, the injured Veljkovic and Fox making way. Surprisingly, Solly also starts. Bulot features from the start for the first time since returning from the African Cup of Nations.


COYA!

 

Church obviously making such a good impression on Saturday he's been dropped completely.

 

Even from your who's been dropped section Cap'n

 

I'm actually quire happy with that lineup, if it's 4-5-1 that 'll mean Cousins finally in the centre, or will it be 4-4-1-1 with Bulot on the right and JBG behind Igor?

 

Well spotted, apologies. I thought he was OK at Boro, but clearly Luzon felt otherwise.

 

We've got to the stage where 'trying' gets you an ok mark out of 10, and Church has nearly always tried... don't think many doubt that.

 

Was trying to get to game but too many issues at Waterloo meant my train kept getting delayed so gave up

 

We're under way at a sparsely populated Valley. Charlton attacking the Covered End in the first half.

 

A snapshot from Martin flies just wide of the post. Three Norwich players were unmarked at the far post.

 

A Gudmundsson corner hits Cousins who couldn't direct it towards goal. The ball runs clear.

 

Goal Norwich.

Down the left, the ball is played inside and Howson picks his spot beyond Dmitrovic.

0-1

 

Poor defending from Solly he shouldn't have let him cut inside. We always play better in the 2nd half when we attack towards the covered end so I'm very pessimistic for the rest of the evening

 

Redmond cuts inside Solly and shoots, but it's straight at Dmitrovic who fields it easily.

 

Norwich carve us open again, only for Johnson to blaze over the bar.

 

Grabban gets in behind and crosses, but it just evades the Norwich players in the box.

 

Last time I do a match thread.
