Pre-Match Thread Charlton Athletic vs Southend Utd

[RHB]

John White to score anytime at 14/1 at skybet. I want JW in the starting line up

I reckon you'll get your wish on the starting line up.

Wouldn't have thought so...the away stand holds 3,000....and I believe we're taking approx. 1,200

They did last year but looks like we aren't taking that number so they probably won't be so picky this year

Ta. I know ranting & raving a players gets you nowhere (like Martin Allen) but he's almost anonymous sometimes.

Being anonymous is one thing but its the clear change in his demeanour that bothers me most. He used to look 'jaunty' and had an air of confidence about him. His appearance suggested it is good to play with a smile on your face but all I see now is concern.

I don't want to see ranting and raving but I also have no desire to see a static advert like the crimplene manikin in John Colliers.

'The window to watch'. The ad could apply to the transfer times!

I spoke to a highly rated coach once who said if he was having to rant and rave on the touchline on a Saturday he hadn’t done his job very well Monday to friday....

This is very true, however when Plan A fails there is a requirement for some subtle encouragement which does not need to be ranting and raving. Part of our problem I think is the lack of a captain who gees up his troops when the chips are down.

In the absence of one maybe the fans could/should step up?

Some do tbf, some don't. My point is someone from the bench or the pitch needs to gee the team up.
