I suspect its just me, but I really don't like Charlton. Ideas above there station Imo. Plus that Powell swinging on cross bar after they beat us in the cup...... I wasn't happy. 

Hope we stuff em

…it’s not just you 😄

[Germanbird]

It's time to discuss our lineup for tomorrow.  According to DM it's no problem to pick tomorrow's starting eleven, but I am struggling. 

How do you like this one???
 

(I do love Bannan and Byers, but I can't drop Adeniran or FDB)

Please help!

[JBO]

Yep that's the team

 

Byers/Vaulks could be toss of a coin though

Don’t see how it can be, Byers all the way, been outstanding a lot of games.

[Reesh]

Our first league win of the season came with Byers sat on the bench

That's correct, and it always looked a fragile lead until Bannan went off and Byers came on. We looked considerably better after the switch.

Stockdale.

 

Palmer.

Heneghan.

Ihiekwe.

James.

 

Windass.

Byers.

Dele-Bashiru.

Bannan.

Johnson.

 

Gregory.

 

That's my team. But he'll go with IMO,

Stockdale.

 

 Iorfa

Heneghan

Ihiekwe

 

Hunt

Vaulks

Dele Bashiru

Bannan

Johnson

 

Windass

Gregory.

 

 

I think he’ll start with Palmer or James at LCB and bench Iorfa. As Byers started midweek, maybe Vaulks will get the nod.

Nail on the head PP, but perhaps not quite what you meant.

Season starts proper for me today.

The Portsmouth game was a bit dull weather-wise. Didn't feel like it was the curtain rasier it should've been. But today should be a great day at Hillsborough.

Sunshine, beers, that FanZone open with decent weather. Get the voices lubricated, lets have a laugh and make a cracking atmosphere.

Even more so if we smash Charlton with a goal blitz.

I feel it in the water. 4-0 to us.

Hahaha the sunshine thing, I’ve just said the same to my lad. It should be sunny the first game of the season, and it wasn’t although it was warm.

I agree. Plus we’ve had a few games to get going, so we should be at it. One of those days where you need to get hold of the ball and make the opposition do all the running. It’ll be hot out there. 

Think I’ll pay the Fanzone a visit too. 

[HoylandOwl]

Any more predictions? 

Think we'll win. 2-0.

Charlton have sold 705 tickets

Any kind of win will be good today. Its going to be horrendously warm to play football in. Id take a 1-0 win now, not that I dont want more, but we wont be worried about the score of this game by the time April rolls around, just that we got 3pts.

I can see DM being careful with LG/ JW, either having them on the bench to bring on if we need some help or simply not putting them in the squad. We need LGs goals and that of Smith for the season not just for the first month.

The midfield is a tricky one. Id personally go with Byers, Dele-Bahsiru and Vaulks but DM will play Bannan. I can see him swapping some or all of them though during the game. Id also be thinking about how he can shuffle the pack for the wing backs, they have to do some running in every game and Hunt and Johnson arent the youngest.

Its winnable and we should win but Im just a bit concerned about how settled the back 3 are and changing the strikers all the time.

Oh ffs 🤔

[owl4ever1867]

[HoylandOwl]

I can’t complain too much at that XI really. 

[Owling_Wolf]

I'm shagged out before kickoff and I'm not even playing.

Both teams are 'warmng up'!  🥵

[owl4ever1867]

Heading towards 40 minutes & we are yet to even have a shot on goal (according to bet365)

[HappyOwl]

In a bar in Stalis surrounded by Leeds arsenal and Sunderland fans 😩😩😩

Come on Wednesday ffs updates don’t sound great 

[Otto_Man]

Wank this

[Kiwi Owl]

Well that first half was awful, very fortunate to go in 0-0 given that sitter their best player missed thanks to an utter balls up by us again

Don't think we've even had an attempt on goal

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Heneghan with nearly 4 assists so far, sadly all for Charlton.

Plan A not working and we don't have a Plan B. We got worse after Moore's drinks break chat, says it all

Patto showing why he should not be near the starting 20

[Reesh]

That was dire. Players look shattered or well off it, manager needs to look at himself

I think its the fact we can all see the passing from the back is not working, indeed causing us problems. Charlton have us sussed

[Mark]

That 1st half was awful 

[MAL]

Well fack me 🥳

[owl4ever1867]

YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

[owl4ever1867]

Bannan off....

2 minutes later we score....

COME ON WEDNESDAY 

[Andyben]

Bannans done.

[owl4ever1867]

5 minutes plus any injury time to go....

[owl4ever1867]

6 minutes injury time 

[owl4ever1867]

Gerrrrin

3 points!

[Beaconowl]

Another battling  3 points 

And well done @Germanbirdon the match thread. Keep it up 

[Kiwi Owl]

Changer for me was brining Sow on. Having Windass as the number 10 with 2 strikers ahead of him, we really did look dangerous. Think we got the goal with that change as well

Great cross and great positioning by Bakinson who did that a few times I saw. Sow was a bit unlucky not to score with the block from Clare

Special thanks to Charlton to joining the Milton Keynes club. 1-0 down in injury time, yet it was more important to have possession in your own half rather than lumping it forward chasing the equaliser. Strange

 

[Jim]

Has he gone yet? 

[bricat]

Great to have depth on the bench. Good game management from Moore. Learning shithousery too.

 

 

 

 

[Kiwi Owl]

Oh and one thing 

To the bloke who instead of celebrating, got his camera out to take a photo

Celebrate!!! 😄 😄 and have a word with that person near you who looks like Ken Bates/Father Christmas. Those shorts looked like a 1930's carpet
