Make or break,
If last week was a must win game, then tomorrow is, er, another must win game. The Addicks travel to our newest south London rivals AFC Wimbledon on the back of six unbeaten and with Josh Magennis returning.
Wimbledon are not in the best of form, although they have only lost at home in the league once since September and they like Fleetwood are a big outfit and like to knock it long, so we wait to see if Robinson has learned how to defend and counter attack that style of play. It’ll be great to see us take the game to our south London friends and not be on the back foot
Jordan Botaka is also back and might play instead of the suspended Nathan Byrne, although the Congolese got very few minutes at the African Nations. Tex should go back into the back four but Robinson also has to find room for both Magennis and Watt.
Just 600 Addicks at the sentimentally named Cherry Red Records Stadium tomorrow. The founder of Cherry Red Records Iain McNay is a life long fan and a Wimbledon director. Hundreds of others will follow the game in Crossbars.
Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday for the next 5 weeks, 11 games. Make or break.
I agree last Saturday’s game was a disaster. We should never underestimate teams in the way we allowed Fleetwood to bully us specially in the last ten added minutes. From our perspective we had the game in the bag but failed show enough up front to capitalise on our one nil lead. Lone striker Watt needed someone behind him who could feed of him. Never a good idea and a big ask when you are up against big defenders which once again Wimbledon has for our forwards to content with. Robinson was short on options but today needs to cover the void left in the last game. Good luck the Addicks
