This takeover business is rapidly destroying the season- The best case scenario is we avoid relegation and eventually the takeover is completed and we look ahead to next season with some optimism. The worst case scenario is not even worth contemplating. I don't think any of us can match Rigsby when it comes to unrelenting optimism.

I'm only prepared to look 1 game ahead at the moment as the good old cliche puts it. So looking at tomorrow, Charlton are six games without a win. What can possibly go wrong?!

Sooner be playing a team that's won 6 on the bounce, we always break teams runs which ever way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come the end of the day this Monday and the takeover could be complete, the new players registered and off we go...maybe. I think what is destroying the season is not winning games and that, to me, is nothing to do with the takeover. Anyway, here's a cheery link...Goals, Goals, Goals!! Hopefully, the link works. To shez’s music too! How many of them are first to react, expecting the unexpected, poachers goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Perimeter West Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I'm expecting 5 new players starting tomorrow think it could be a RW tactic trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Richard Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) It's going to be a close game. The question is, can we score a sodding goal without the aid of Doyle or the ref giving us a pen? Ryan Mc up top could be our hope of doing so IMO.

Bristolatic Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 For one reason or another, this will be my first game of the season. I actually think we can win it. Well, I've not seen us lose yet this season, have I? The only worry is if Placide gets injured as I don't think we'll have a keeper on the bench. Now, where are my old boots? Believe it or not, I'm really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His outfield days might be behind him...as, alas, are mine...but he could still do a job for us if Dickfingers gets injured (very unlikely) or sent off (50% chance every game).

al_bro Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Karl Robinson was having a go at Pep in the press on Thursday after Pep was moaning about having to play so many matches in a short time and having a couple of players injured. Robinson was saying he should try managing lower down the league as he has 8 starters out injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Everything points to a charlton win. It would be the most typical of typical Latics if we won this. Charlton are 11/10 to win. Edited January 6, 2018 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we have 3 other midfielders on the bench I don't really understand the need to bring back Banks and add a 4th. Great to see Kyeremeh back, could be like a new signing. McLaughlin must have picked up a knock? Like everyone else, I'm wondering what happened to Osei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The futures of a few of these players are uncertain at the moment especially with Wellens looking to bring in 3 or 4 new recruits and rumours the takeover is to be completed next week. They should all be busting a gut to impress and give a worthwhile performance even if their future lies elsewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
