Exiles thread - Charlton (A)

[Bergen]

Hello from sunny Bergen. Not overly optimistic about this game, but even without Aaron Drinan we might get a draw.



COME ON ORIENT!!!!!!!

[Beradogs]

Never thought we would be starting the new season with Ruel.

Never thought we would be starting the new season with Ruel.

Very much a case of seeing which of our L2 squad can make the step up today

[PKM]

So Lingy was right, Ruel fit to play.

[Bergen]

I am not sure about the formation. Ruel behind Pigott? 4-4-1-1

[Story of O]

No Moncur or Galbraith seems odd

[Beradogs]

Not sure either but 3-1 on Charlton to win and us not to score looks screaming value.

[Stan1972]

Trying to work out the team formation, James, Hunt & Sweeney all playing, no Moncs?

[PKM]

Where’s Sweeney playing, midfield/wing?
Pigott playing the Moncur role?

[Mistadobalina]

Weird weird line up. Downgrading my prediction to a proper shellacking.

[BIGRON]

Referee is Mr kitchen , now if he's related to Peter

[PKM]

Brynn
Hunt Beckles Happe James
El Miz Pratley
Sweeney Pigott Archibald
Sotiriou

Best guess

I thought he was injured

Indeed .

Hope we don’t Sink without trace

[Bergen]

I thought you were allowed to have 9 subs this season..( )

Fitting considering we could have the kitchen sink thrown at us this afternoon . I know Richie knows what's he's doing but I'm not sure about that lineup . I'm now even more unconfident about today than I was before .

[Mr. Peanutbutter]

The idea of 4-2-3-1 with Sweeney as a winger with the players selected is terrifying. Maybe 4-3-3 with James in midfield (but then surely Moncur/ Galbraith), or 3-4-3 with Hunt as a wide cb given our lack of attacking options? Has Wellens ever not played 4-2-3-1?

[redintheface]

Presumably Saunders has also not yet recovered from his toe injury?

[redintheface]

So Lingy was right, Ruel fit to play.

I’ll withhold judgement on that until I see his performance!

[Mistadobalina]

My guess is James in midfield, then Ruel out left and Theo out right. But it's all a bit weird given that we have three first team quality central midfielders on the bench. Surely they can't be all unfit?

[DrWindy]

Come on Orient

[DrWindy]

Assume TJ right midfield?

[Stan1972]

If us O’s fans can’t guess the starting line up, Charlton must be confused

Afternoon chaps.
New season - League 1.
