So on to the next in our quest to remain unbeaten.....Charlton Athletic or number 15.

I watched the highlights and I was trying to make my mind up whether Charlton were decent or whether Bristol rovers were poor opposition and I guess you can safely say that it was a bit of both really.
I think the main thing that stands out is how many goals are scored from distance. No pissing about, get in a decent position and have a dig on sight...granted the Rovers keeper could have done better with a couple and a hint of reflection maybe however you can't detract too much from some fine strikes.
It also looks like the have a bit of pace and trickery and like to get down the wings as well......
Solo on to the next and all that....how do we set up??
Do we throw caution to the wind and revert to a steady 4-4-2? Or do we attack the game with our 3-5-2 wing backs system and take the game to them? The latter would lead to a very open game of attacking football which would be playing to our strengths.
I am more than confident in our CB's to mop up most of what the opposition will throw at us and I am confident that they won't have as much time and space to pull the trigger against us however who would the 3 at the back be??.....I do worry about Bashan when the opposition have pace and trickery about them however he will no doubt be in the starting XI....soooo?? Do you go for bash, fleck and courts in the middle of the park and eel, o Connell and wright at the back with hopefully Lafferty and freeman out wide?
I do think we missed Duffy tonight and if fit I don't see how you can leave such a play maker out of the starting xi because he makes so much happen for us!
Welcome dilemma guess with options either way if Duffy and freeman are back to 100%....I feel bad singling out Bashan but it's a fair observation surely??
Opinions??
