As no one else has bothered yet. Here we go. Hope for another good away performance. Got a funny feeling about this one though!
Well done YBA, was just thinking the same thing, thought i'd better check to see that noone had started 1 up and there was yours !
There'll be a few lingerers who will come on during the game. 2 things about today - 1) just before xmas, and 2) Big Addick contingent gone to Walsall. Cant see anything other than an Addick win .
Yeah. I manage to get the shopping run done first thing this morning before the mad rush. It's a shame this game is on a Saturday for me. I spend two or three days a fortnight on business in Solihull so this was down for an away trip but I have stuff on at home this weekend. CoYR
Team: Same starting 11 as Huddersfield game. Hughes doesn't make the bench. Hmm! Wonder if he's crocked. Maybe just Pritchards time to get a chance. Hope for more from Russell today.
I have my ticket here on my bed . Was looking forward to it as last I heard when I ordered mine, we had sold over 700! But the money saved on trains will go towards winning me more at the bookies expense. As for the game - I think it will be tricky (as most away games are down here), I fancy us to take it 2-1. BWP and Wiggins to score. I think they will start strongly and really look to get in to us and not let us play our passing game. But with that, I can't see many teams breaking our defence and will think they in turn will become frustrated. This is where we will score 2 before half time. I hope.

I posted this ten days ago and a lot of you dissented. Now he doesn't even make the bench. Nothing against Hughes, he has done well, but Russell looks a more rounded player, while Pritchard couldn't have done more to earn his promotion to the squad. I think if Hughes were even slightly injured this would have been announced, as good managers like to issue "face-savers" when leaving out players. He is just plain dropped. But the Euell selection does baffle me.
See, YBA? - a nice x -section of posters now - 5/6 of us. I also notice Oz posting on another thread in last 10 mins - so no doubt he'll be contributing too.
Walsall are not a physical side. Should be a good match and a comfortable win for the Addicks. 0-2. I see Jimmy Walker is in goal. Must be approaching his 50th birthday soon?
2,500??!! Amazing. Reckon a lot of people getting some away matches now so they can go to Fulham. Remember that being the case before Spurs last season.
A comfortable, settled line up. If walsall aren't physical then I see few problems for us today. 2-0 win.
