So Tettey in for Wes, seems logical, happy with this.

I could do with seeing his doctor, or maybe it was a prayer.

Sounds like a good team for an away game, a bit more steel in midfield, you have to expect/need that away from home.

Please could you guys keep me updated....stuck at work until 22:00    thank you

 

Unless there is a radio link that will work on the iphone???

[nutty nigel 7,963]

How many managers is that now who seem to think Whitts is a good right back and Martin''s a good centreback.....

[Horse Renoir 1]

That''s the lineup I would have chosen, glad Grabban is starting again!

[ricardo 8,109]

Line up about as expected..Won''t be many goals, clean sheet will win it.

[nutty nigel 7,963]

Solid starting eleven with great options from the bench. I have a feeling a third clean sheet is a priority.

[The Bristol Nest 612]

Ok. I understand the more defensive selection. there is plenty on the bench.

[quote user="nutty nigel"]How many managers is that now who seem to think Whitts is a good right back and Martin''s a good centreback.....[/quote]Quite a few which is really surreal. Whittaker was aweful imho first half against Blackpool. Did think Rusty had a good game tho, i know he didnt have an overload of work but what he needed to do was done.

Yup, line-up pretty much as I expected.

[ca 1]

Glad Bassong is fit to play, we needed Tettey back and I had a feeling that Wes would miss out but I''m pleased with that lineup.

CMON YOU YELLOWS  [:)]

[nutty nigel 7,963]

Well I thought Whits was terrific first half against Blackpool. Great involvement for the goal and always tries to be available never hiding from the ball. I really can''t see how he could possibly have been awful.

[The Bristol Nest 612]

I have high hopes for this one as AN appears to have installed a work ethic and pressing game that should see off Charlton.

I''ve been super confident so many times this season and it''s bit me in the arse but tonight i''m super super confident . 3-1 win

But i suppose people see the game differently. Only my oppinion but he is simply not good enough.

Bit disappointed that there is no Wes. 7 assists this season, but yet doesnt create much.Charlton are 19th. No win since November, personally i wouldve went there with him in. But...it is Charlton i suppose. [;)]

Did AN say Wes doesn''t create much Cusdp?

Lets hope Whitts ain''t awful tonight CTID ;)

Hes got 7 assists this season, the most in our team.Agree Morty, bizarrely for me he seems to be marmite for some people. I just feel that he would get in most sides in this league, we lack someone to dictate a game and he does that.Any aspirations of going up , and you have to be beating teams like Charlton

He is a great player, but there is no way he is suited to starting every single game.

[AJ 1,377]

And beating them comfortably...

[nutty nigel 7,963]

OK. Like Whits then. AN obviously prefers Tettey for this game. I don''t see that as a criticism of Wes. Bizarly hes preferred Whits in both...

Right. I''m off to adjust the picture on my wireless, enjoy the game together... ;)

[Monty13 2,796]

I''m disappointed to see Wes on the bench. When you look at it as a straight swap, Wes for Tettey is, dare I say it, a bit negative.

I understand we are away from home, I understand it may require different tactics, but it feels like a game we need to win.

I''m sure AN knows what he''s doing, I''m fairly confident that team can still get a result, but I''d just be happier with a bit more attacking intent.

[/quote]oh indeed morty horses for courses. Like i said if we want to go up, we have to be beating teams like this. We couldnt break them down at home. Wes imo would help us do that.Im not disagreeing with uyou mate
