[Archived] Charlton V Blackburn

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The Addicks haven't won in ages and low and behold they are playing Rovers.

4-0 Charlton.....2 red cards for Rovers.

[Gareth]

Charlton are having a crap season, therefore, we're bound to lose

Chalrton 2-0

[Eddie]

Some team news:

Henchoz has picked up a knock and might miss the game, Zurab is still out.

Charlton have JFH back, Jerome Thomas and Diawara are back as well. They are expected to return to a 4-4-2, I would think that means that JFH will play up front alongside Bent.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

It is absolutely vital we score first - if they score first their confidence will come back. On paper their squad isn't that bad - but confidence is a fragile thing. Benni to score first to see us to an eventual 3-1 win (I hope)

Hmmm.... If Henchz doesn't make it I reckon the team will be:

---------Nonda-----McCarthy

Peter Savage Tugay Bentley

--Gray Ooijer Neill Emerton

----------------Freidal

Although MH has persisted with MGP through thick and thin perhaps today represents a fine opportunity to give Peter a start. I just have a feeling he might do it.

You say that, but they scored first against Sheffield United and still lost.

[Eddie]

Also, tickets are still available and will be sold on the night.

[American]

1-1

Big news that Henchoz will not be playing. He was superb against Spurs and I think we will really miss him;

[Exiled_Rover]

Threadbare back line that. A win is looking less likely now.

[philipl]

This is a huge challenge now- Charlton welcome three players back from injury and a look at the table this morning tells us all we need to know about Les Read's team talks.

- Charlton's most important game this decade etc etc.

Rovers with 6 out through injury. Even so a line-up of Friedel, Emerton, Ooijer, Neill, Gray, Bentley, Tugay, Savage, MGP, McCarthy, Nonda; subs Brown, Todd, Gally, Peter, Mokoena doesn't look too bad. Derbyshire and McEveley still don't make the bench.

Sky Sports 1 (Ford Football Special at 10pm) have it down as Charlton v Blackburn at Ewood Park

[Roar of the Rover]

It should be an easy win but we have to make sure we get the first goal, 3-1 to rovers with McCarthy scoring twice and MGP scoring the other.

[thenodrog]

It should be an easy win

You're young right?

Anyway I guess that we'll at least take more supporters than Fulham brought here on the basis that not many southerners work in Blackburn do they?

[Presty On Tour]

with nelsen, zurab and henchoz all out, what do you think the odds are on a andy todd recall?

tugay returning from susspension should see him return to the starting line up, pushing bentley to the right and droping emerton back into fullback.

neill and ooijer should be the centre backs tonight but you never know.

[Blueboy Downunder]

we just got to get the 3 points!!

doesn't matter how or how many goals we score, just get the victory!

[James No. 7]

1-0 Benni McCarthy

Mokoena to win the M.O.M. award!!!

That's good point that, you would think all the London clubs must get better away attendance than pretty much any other clubs in the country due to exiles.

Rovers v Charlton and Spurs v Borough

Highlights on Skysports 1 at 22.00 to 23.30

2-0 Rovers (Benni & Bentley)

[CAPT KAYOS]

0 v 0

Charlton nervy because they need a win - Rovers normally the charity case try to abstain from getting beat and our forwards flatter to deceive..

1-0 ROVERS.

MGP!

[ozzyblue]

going to the bookies now to back 3-1 rovers, do the same bet every game and it nevers comes up, so......................its obviously going to happen tonight.

[blue/white]

Would be very nice to grab the full 3 points, nevermind nice,

downright important. I think Rovers will make a late claim for the

full points.

Rovers 2 - Addicks 1

Benny 25'- who cares?

Brad 88' (sound familiar?)

C'mon Rovers, we need to make this game in-hand

count for 3 & jump to 12th.

[AggyBlue]

Them 0 : 1 Rovers

Nonda, he's found his scoring boots.
