Charlton F.A. Cup -A No Win Game Plus Glen Roeder now a Bookies favourite

[Account Closed 0]

Charlton haven''t won a game since October 4th when they beat Ipswich,We have maybe 14 fit players.To weigh up the monetary rewards and confidence lift  against the wear and tear of extra games is a tough call to make.Our Championship survival may balance on that outcome.I believe it better that we lose and bite the bullet.What do you think?Heres what the bookies think. From oddschecker 30 -12 -08  17- 30 hoursSaturdays game Charlton (11/8)        Draw (12/5)        Norwich (9/4)RelegationCharlton (4/5), Doncaster (10/11), Southampton (1)Norwich      (7/2)    (5/2)    (3-1)  (10/3)    (100/30)    (7/2)    (2-1)    Coca-Cola Championship Next Manager To Leave Post Roeder     5/2    ( Current Favourite )

I''d rather get knocked out by Charlton and then focus on the league.  They will probably be thinking the same thing so expect a 0-0 draw.

We won''t win that match. Charlton are through to the next round. Easy!

To add a bit more detail, Victor Chandler is the only bookmaker to supply odds for "The next manager to leave". It would be interesting to see what the other bookies odds would look like.

It will be another nail in Roeder''s coffin and won''t cost us valuable points in the league. I will be fed up for a couple of hours at losing but as long as it assist that tool in getting the boot then I''ll be delighted!

Exactly how I feel about Saturdays game!

 

While it''d be nice to win on Saturday the downside would be further papering over the cracks of this awful spell in our history that is the Roedernowhere era which the idiot himself would milk to the full!

Beat Charlton and then get a big named team in the next round and we get a bit of dough in the coffers.

But, we have not done well in the cup for years, so I predict a riot, sorry I mean defeat.
