We can't really afford to but do we 'rest' Mbengue tonight to avoid losing him for two matches. Remembering how he got tight and niggled Demari Gray last time, it has real potential for a bust up and a yellow, even if he is the innocent party. I would leave him out, put Morgan at RB with three centre backs in Dunn, Cook and JCS and Esquerdinha at LB. Edwards in midfield with Smyth and Vale. Kone and Kolli up front. Julien has managed to avoid a long losing run, so far. He has to make changes to try and get something from tonight and Saturday. |

Is that £12.3 million going out on transfers this season and presumably high wages, for Charlton's budget, for Coady and Dykes too. Seemingly nothing or very small loan fees or savings on salaries coming in. |

Santa has arrived early and brought us the best referee for what I believe will be a tough physical match. Portsmouth should be happy with the appointment too, with that record when he has been in charge. Hopefully we can stuff their turkey. Ho ho ho! |

It's a scary fixture. Team in poor form, especially at home and in relegation trouble, with lots of players struggling to fit in and new manager v team with btb wins, unbeaten in three and confidence and performance on the up but with a day less recovery and all the travelling in the legs. Mmm. |

Excellent, as balanced as possible, report. A couple of points though. The ref seemed to have a change of interpretation of pushing at half time. After allowing Ipswich to push everyone at will, in the first half, he then penalises Hayden, in a critical position of the pitch, for the first push in the second half. Not saying we would have got anything from the game but we had been doing okay since equalising. That decision led to the game turning moment. Throw ins! I sit in SA Rd so I'm not sure whether Furlong was offending or not. However, I feel most of us may not understand what 'foot position' constitutes a foul throw. There was an explanation on here a few years ago, which seemed to indicate most of us had been coached incorrectly as young kids. From law 15 The Throw In. The thrower must: have part of each foot on the touchline or on the ground outside the touchline. |

Have Cooke and Hayden got another 90 mins in them? We haven't really got an option with Steve but I'd expect Varane to start in midfield. Akindelini on the bench. |

Nice piece, well researched and has our DNA throughout it. Thank you, as I plan my long range trip through roadworks, holiday makers and festival goers to get to our spiritual home in time for Saturday 3pm, when I can be a live part of it all again. |

Mr Christian Noury, Mr Lee Hoos and anyone else in the clubs hierarchy and owners, read the words that Clive has written and feel some shame. Let them sink in, show some remorse, stop treating us with contempt and vow to do better, to be more open and honest in the future. |
