4-5-1 You're 'Aving a Larf !!

Well, another attempt at 4-5-1 at Foolham has proved a major disappointment. Twenty minutes to go and three points there for the taking and what does our Supreme Master do. Replace the ineffectual Thomas with JJ, a like for like substitution. C'mon, take a gamble and play two up especially when that gamble was likely to gain extra points. Football is meant to be entertaining but watching Charlton is far from that at the moment. Let's hope that with three consecutive home games fast approaching we will see a switch to 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 and a more adventurous style of play. I won't be surprised though to see 4-5-1 against Spudz.

The ressies beat Derby last night 5-2, including two headed goals from balls crossed in from the touchline. Are you watching Curbs ?? You were ? Of course, saw you there with Peaks and Merv. Won't allow that to happen again will you !! Lisbie was available but missing again due to an ankle injury. No surprise there then.

Finally, nice to see a good turn out at Craven Cottage with plenty of noise being made. Shame Alan C couldn't/wouldn't recognise it at the end.
