Unofficial match thread: Charlton Athletic v Norwich City

[Minster Canary 0]

Afternoon everyone, thought I''d begin proceedings today. Big, big game - I get the feeling for once we will match the occasion with a winning performance, 2-1 for me, Martin and Johnson. OTBC!

I think they will be well up for it. But Holt is a massive miss especially away. Could be a draw or last minute winner for city.

[NottsCanary 0]

I dont care how, as long as we win, COME ON CITY!

[Jack Barak 46]

I think we will win, Lambert might spring a surprise or two and I hope the players put in a real shift to see us over the line (thank you Huddersfield).1-3 Martin double and the King of Spain with his first of the season (30 yard screamer into the top corner)!

Korey Smith hasn''t travelled with the squad today....

[Barry Brockes 157]

Sounds as though Korey Smith is out as well!

[Canary_on_the Trent 0]

I''ve heard Russell Martin is playing on the right of midfield and Spillane at right back.

I''d love to see a win, but I don''t think we will, although it''s football so you never know.

3 key players out, let''s hope the other lads fill in well.

scapping the barrel with the subs today...McVeigh?[:$]

But WLY will be calm and won''t lose his head.  He has the experience, when nerves might get the better of the younger team members.  If he were to score the winning goal would you still be saying the same? lol

Might be useful behind the front two if we''re chasing the game. His little legs might have gone, but he''s got a good footballing brain and has always been able to pick a pass.

Exactly, his footballing brain is still sharp and he''s always a good passer of the ball.  If things get nervy you might find him coming on to settle them down.

Is this the diamond with Spillane at CB, Johnson for Hoolahan and Doc for Holt?

[Jack Barak 46]

[quote user="WeAreYellows49"]Spillane, Hughes, Russell and Lappin in the middle[/quote]Looks solid, good to see Spillane and Hughes in.

The lounges at CR are packed out, if we win the celebrations will be something else lol

Agreed, I like Hughes and Spillane, when was the last time Spillers played in the team?  Or at least started?

[Jack Barak 46]

Neeeaaal just mention Orient 4-0. was when he pulled his hamstring.Looks like PL is keen to be solid and not get beaten.

The tension is mounting as kick off gets ever nearer! I shall probably tune into Norfolk quite late in the game. Goreham and Adams make me much too nervous!
