McCarthy; Gunter, Obita, Pearce, Gorkss; Williams, Guthrie, McAnuff (C), Drenthe; Pogrebnyak Le Fondre.
Subs: Federici, Kelly, Bridge, Morrison, McCleary, Blackman, Robson-Kanu

[akranes]

Let's hope Le Fondre can get involved today, when he does drop a bit deeper to help the team I feel he actually does quite well, not too bad when he drifts onto the wing either! Hopefully Drenthe is up for it too.

good strong team! we need the 3 points desperately!

[genome]

Pleased to see a solid central midfield for once. If that team performs to its potential this will be a 2 or 3-0 away victory.

Now I've jinxed it, however.

[Cureton's Volley]

Good line up

[genome]

CHARLTON: Hamer; Wilson, Wiggins, Morrison, Dervite; Harriott, Cousins, Poyet, Jackson, Ajdarevic, Church

[Royal Ginger]

Happy with that, but we're looking very light for replacements in the middle.

Would like to see Morrison & Bridge involved as soon as the game is realistically won/lost.

[genome]

I'd rather be light on replacements than actually light in the middle as we have been in recent weeks...

[Royal Ginger]

Amen sister.

[harry]

2 ex-Royals. So we need to score 3 then.

[Libertine]

Morning all...and c'mon URZZZZZ!!!

Is Hector injured? If not he'll be pissed he's not even in the 18 man squad.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Apparently so

Yes, he's actually very good at quick lay offs, linking play and showing dangerous movement. But he doesn't get involved enough and we don't really play to his strengths.

Kelly and Bridge!? Hector should be on that bench.

[Royal Ginger]

Hector's injured. It's Taylor that should be a bit miffed in my opinion.

[genome]

Forest losing.

[Royal Ginger]

Sounds like Charlton are up at the moment. We've heard a couple of times that Williams has been right at the back with Gorkss.

Last week we played much better once Williams eased off his defensive duties and got forward.

[RoyalBlue]

Twenty minutes gone and according to the BBC we still haven't had a shot of any type!

Sod goal bonuses, we clearly should be incentivising the players to take shots!

[Sutekh]

Sounds pretty tedious so far, not much quality or action of any note anywhere on the pitch...

I blame Madejski.
