Massives game for Charlton on Sunday

Not too much to say about the forthcoming game, except that the crowd will turn quite quickly if the players don't get their act together and perform for a whole 90 minutes.

The team that is the best we have is as follows:
Andersen, Young, Perry, El Karkouri, Hreidersson, Smertin, Kishishev, Murphy, Ambrose, Rommedahl, and Bent; but this is not the team that will play against Manchester City at The Valley in front of the Sky cameras on Sunday.

Actually, any of the three senior keepers could play - Deano was at fault for the second goal last night (see pic - nice dive but who presented it to Thommo initially?); Andersen has been blamed for a few recently too, so don't be surprised to see Myrhe given a chance!

Luke Young went off injured last night but hopefully he will be fit. If he isn't, expect to see Barry Fuller make his starting Premiership debut. I'd rather he played than Spector...

Perry must return; the defence is not at all solid without him. Powell is too old sadly; if he could maintain his performance over the whole match I'd be backing him, but he can't. Hermann must play at left back and that means the Elk will get one more chance to regain last seasons form.

Kish is suspended, so that means a place for (probably) Matt Holland, or maybe Bryan Hughes (or even Fuller if Young plays).

Rommedahl should come back into the team on the right. JJ can join Ipswich (please).

All of a sudden, our strongest squad ever is looking stretched - no experience at right back; three goalies and unsure about who's best; dodgy central defence; and left back fitness issues.

I hope the team can win back the crowd, because at the moment they are lost, and that will not go down very well in the boardroom. Heads will roll if we fail much more.
