jsslatic Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Quote That will mean a two-week spell without a game for Charlton's 'League One' team. They face Rotherham United away this weekend (August 26), and then won't play again until meeting Southend United at The Valley on September 9. I enjoyed the quote marks. I know how they feel. Anyway, bring on the postponement. I can't make that one anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 We have McGlaughlin and Dummigan missing so quite possibly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's shown enough for another team to spend decent money for him. He's one of our better players but that doesn't mean much.

It could be argued we've had more than 3 'gone' missing all season. Does that qualify? Seriously it would help us massively if Charlton do have 3 away and postponed.

HarryBosch Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Why don't the league & British FA's get together on fixtures to make sure this never happens? How hard can it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see why UK nations internationals have to clash with league games at all. Fair enough if Placide has to jet off to Haiti but most England, Ireland(s), Scotland and Wales players play here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may play here, but still have to travel to away fixtures, some even in Europe are long distances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard can it be? They do it in the Championship (same 46 game season). I think the (minimum) 2 rounds of the FA cup, the (minimum) 3 games in the EFL trophy and poorer pitches/facilities meaning more postponements affects things. Last year wasn't an EFL trophy game the same night as an England game? It would mean a lot more mid-week games, but those happen anyway if the game is postponed. It's only really a handful of league 1 clubs it affects and it doesn't affect any league 2 side. Plus at least 1 game from our division is on Sky that weekend.

And its a chance for League One and Two clubs to try and attract some fans that might otherwise go to other clubs? Get a bit more coverage in the media etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozman Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'd have though that, even if they do have 3 players called up, Charlton might opt to play the game anyway, given the form we're in. We might be on a much better run by the time the re-arranged game comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliggi Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yeah I mean the fact we won the replay when it was nailed on we would lose originally. Not if it was called off for internationals or weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I suspect that, with us not hearing anything official, this game will still be on. It's a bit short notice to bin it off now, isn't it...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Surely even if Charlton are missing a few they will want to play us now? Especially the way things are, they'll have seen 3 subs today and realise confidence will be low, things can change in a week but I fully expect the game to go ahead next week, unless we can somehow get another call up, then I'd guess we'd happily postpone.

Just as a moot point......How would it work if we did get a third call up and postponed it and then sold MacLaughlin on Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
