I love Davies but that doesn't blind me to when he has an indifferent game. I dunno but of the 46% of Roberts misplaced passes did they all just go to 'safety'? And your blinkers have been removed? Whatever. It wasn't a good fullback display and I hope Fozzy gets the spot tomorrow. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Hughes Hair Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I thought Roberts did well against Oxford. Most of his misplaced passes were high tarif in terms of risk and reward often leading to the Oxford defence playing the ball out and giving us position high up the pitch.

Srg Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 40 minutes ago, Ghost of Clough said: Their Whoscored best player against Accrington was their 196cm giant of a CB who won 13 aerials. Fraser (LCM), Leaburn (sub RW) and Jaiyesimi (RW) were their next best players. Only two players I recognise from their team vs Accrington. Fraser, and Sessegnon. Sessegnon being one of their worst performers, so expect Mendez-Laing to have a lot of fun down that side. For a side who claim to be a possession based side, their passing is pretty poor. Only 3 players achieved greater than 80% success rate (two of those were on the field for a combined 16 minutes), whilst 6 had lower than 65%. For comparison, we had 6 players above 80% (5 played the full game and Smith 60 mins), whilst only Roberts was below 70%. Seems to me like they’re going through transition into becoming a passing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are some suggestions higher up this thread, or they may be in the Charlton Away thread, although knowing this forum they could be in the Nathan Byrne is going to FC Charlotte thread. I think this is @Carl Saganterritory so perhaps he can confirm. Hopefully might meet Carl myself to talk about the cosmos. Indeed I live near the north end of London Bridge, but will bravely walk across and venture "south of the river" where no one in their right mind usually goes. Borough Market has dozens of different street food-style stalls so we'll be around there, sampling their wares. For drinks there are lovely pubs dotted around the actual market, but I'm reckoning on either The Old Thameside Inn (good for pies, by the Golden Hind at the north end of Borough Market) or just around the corner at The Anchor (good for fish and chips, walk under Cannon St Railway Bridge and you're there, where they often have buskers to entertain you) as both are on the Thames itself so you can see the safety of the north bank and proper London, not so far away. I shall definitely be on the lookout for a George Clooney lookalike. Tried to DM @i-Rambut no messages allowed! Wistaston Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, where he played last week. They’ve “predicted” we’ll go with the same team, which isn’t much of a stretch I suppose. I’d prefer to see Knight and Smith swapped so Knight’s energy is in the middle of the park, but I suspect Rosenior will go with the “if it ain’t broke” approach as we’ve not yet added a specialist, “senior” right back to the squad.

You love posting links to these nonsense websites. Do you even consider it before you post it? You know full well Knight played in defence last week, and last I checked Kasey Palmer hasn’t played for us in years.

Woodley Ram Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 From the highlights from their last game, they look dodgy at the back, offer chances playing out from the back and don’t cut out crosses. They have a big lad up front and get down the wings well and put crosses in. So looks like they will cause us problems when they attack with balls into the box but we will have opportunities. NML, TB and LS could cause them major problems. we need to stop the crosses bit difficult from one game but this is very winnable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 How good is it to just be focused on football and nothing else! I just can't see many changes for this one, surely it's a case of go again. Away game so will keep it tight with Sibley to come on again rather than start, and Dobbin maybe getting a run out at some point. Think it could be cagey and neither team too unhappy with 0-0. Definitely take that and 3 points next week...7 from 9 would really establish us at the right end of the table early doors.

At least he didn’t pass to the opposition often. playing Fozzy for this one might be a good call though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Most of the line-up picks itself, but I just hope either Sibley or McGoldrick starts instead of Smith. We need either of them if are going to create, otherwise we are just expecting miracle from NML. Rooney started this lack of experience narrative as a reason why we struggled in away games last season. IMO the key was that we didn't create enough scoring opportunitites and it has quite a little to do with the experience. Or should I say, experience is not among the key factors for it. Hopefully, Rosenior realizes this quickly and acknowledge it's way too simplified reasoning and more of an excuse than reason. Overcautious approach with our starting lineup is crime against football and something I'd expect Rooney to do. As most of the players are good Championship standard, let's hope Rosenior starts to be his own man sooner rather than later.

Marriot Ram99 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I thought Roberts was good defensively on Saturday and made 2 key interceptions where his speed and balance where quite key and he has a good reading of the game for a young defender and looks a better out and out defender than Forsyth who doesn't get tight enough imo. Forsyth is better going forward and can put in some good crosses and has the ability in the air but to me I'd go for Roberts again who looks like a player who as the games go on this season, will get better and better just like Tomori when he was on loan here.

Marriot Ram99 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I personally didn't really rate Smith in midfield last Saturday and I thought the midfield balance wasn't right until Sibley came one, I don't know how good a right back Smith is but I would either Swap Knight and Smith or bring Sibley in for Smith and go more attacking. I think we will see Dobbin come on for Barkhausen with 20 minutes to go or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think we need a few more games for the squad to gel before we go out all guns blazing in tricky away fixtures, unless we really aren't interested in grinding out a few early results by substance over style. I agree though that today's selection will tell us allot about how LR views the current strength of the squad and the options he has. Charltons RW, Leaburn, was their best player last week by all accounts so the left side selections could be crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Liam has a plan this season for away games to make us defensively solid . We can’t lose 9 away games on the trot this season, and expect to be in the top 6. Charlton Will chuck the kitchen sink at us. Nishfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
