What else would you want them to say. Hardly going to say we are crapping it and expect to get beat. We have a bit of momentum and hopefully it continues into Saturday. BTW hope you had a good Christmas mate.
Had better Ian but must'nt grumble. Hope you had a good un , I wanted em to say that they were hoping to only get beat by five as most of their first teamers were Ill or injured lol
Hey sorry to hear that mate. Yeah my Christmas was good culminating in a good drink Christmas night. Well just you make sure you get yourself up to Oakwell on Saturday. Give them a shout from me.
Apparently...kings of the "dark arts"....so I do hope the ref as sussed them out....or a strong one......I know they are a good side but also their (ahem) game management is first class.
Big test for us considering how they rolled us over at their place. True measure of our progress I think.
Only way Charlton will win is the same for all teams in this division - that’s if a Barnsley mistake, bad back pass etc, allows them in on goal. If we keep it tight at the back they will not score. If just 1/3 of our shots are converted into goals then it will be 5-0. We were unlucky not to score 7 against Peterborough. Fingers crossed that all these attempts on goal are eventually going to be converted into goals - it could be against Charlton.
Which is the exact opposite of how they turned us over at their place. They turned us over by our pressing us and getting the ball high up at the pitch and taking advantage of the space out wide. Exact same way Shrewsbury beat us too. Neither game involved us making mistakes tbh.
Doogs back nar which meks us stronger defensively yet we create fewer chances, So the need to take those chances becomes more vital.
They're a good side and we couldn't have complained if we'd lost 5 or 6 nil at their place in October. I think these will pose a greater threat than Portsmouth or Luton personally and we'll do very well to get 3 points. Would set us up very nicely for NYD too.
