Season 2020-21 ... (updated 6 May) ... Match 45

Greetings folks!

Good work as ever Lardi

 

Excellent thread Lardiman.

I see Phillips has been dropped as number one for Amos.

I think it’s another prudent decision from Bowyer, putting the club first.

I’d have thought Phillips will be moving on sooner rather than later.

 

I think the home and away shirts are excellent.

I haven’t bought one for many years, but I think I might get both of these.

Obviously after Sandgaard takes over.

 

Yes, they do look sharp and snappy (in a good way).

I like 'em

Ipswich the early pace setters. We play them away on the 22nd of December.

 

What bothers me a bit is that we've played 4 league games, but have already used 20 players.
Only five outfield players have started every game so far.

If Charlton are going to be there in the top 6 come May 2021, it's going to be a lot easier with a (more or less) settled first XI.

During our 2018-19 promotion season we had used 18 players by the end of our 4th game.
But we used only 29 players for the whole league season in the end. And three of those only made one start between them.

 

How are we going to have a settled side with our sad excuse of a Medical Department?

 

I trust TS to get this sorted.

 

Medical equipment is like porn to TS, we'll probably have respirators in the bogs for the non smokers.
