I just had a fleeting thought that should we lose tomorrow, there's a silver lining in that it's perhaps 1 game Lambert is to the chop.
I've never thought like this as a fan, even under Hurst. I've always wanted us to win matches, and still do tomorrow, but I was thinking about that as a consolation. Maybe it's because I'm not physically going to the game, or maybe it's that Lambert really is that bad.
I'll pull myself together. |  |

It's an understandable feeling right now. One loss in the context of a season can be overcome, a terrible manager will hold us back far more than failing to beat Charlton.
To be honest though I have zero faith that Evans will act even if we get embarrassed tomorrow. |  |

Think a lot of us are in the same boat here.
If we see another result and performance as in the last two, it must be nailed on.
I don't mind wanting us to lose if it's for the greater good. We really have no time to lose this time around. Fail to get promoted this season then I fear we will be here for many, many years to come. Get the most out of our competitive advantage now or become 'the second biggest team in League One' forever more. |  |

I did wonder after Shrewsbury whether nicking it at the end was going to do us more harm than good in the long run.
I can't see anything but a Charlton win tomorrow, if we line up 433 we just do not have the players available for it and it feels like by being so rigid Lambert is trying to prove a point to get sacked.
I can't pretend I'll be too disappointed if we end up with a similar performance and result as Hull tomorrow - if we are to lose and get zero points, I'd rather lose properly than a gallant defeat that achieves nothing |  |

Personally I have zero faith in Evans making the correct decision anyway so on that basis I really hope we win and somehow scrape play-offs with this absolute failure of a manager in 'charge' |  | | |

Yeah, the Shrewsbury game for me was bitter sweet.
It's one of the first (only?) time I've thought that if we lose at least that means he's probably gone. I know if gave a few fans a little bit of hope but I just couldn't see it and still can't.
And I'm like the OP, tomorrow I almost want us to lose just to get this over with. Evans should have pulled the trigger in the summer, it's just painful how long this is taking. |  |

No doubt we'll be 'brilliant, really really happy' and 'played really really well. Really good' in a 1-0 defeat.
I certainly thought on Tuesday it made no sense to go 433. We needed to play to our strengths now we now have a full contingent of forwards and we're down to bare bones in central midfield, yet we persisted with 433. It's mad. With Dozzell back there's perhaps more of an argument to play a 3 in the middle but god knows who should be either side of him.
Has to be the same back 5 for me, although I do think Holy is absolute t0ss I've not seen any evidence Cornell is any better.
Huws, Dozzell, McGavin in midfield perhaps, but there's about as much energy and mobility in that as a trio of Douglas'.
Lankester / Bennetts in the wide roles?
Norwood up front. | |

It felt like the 3-2 away at Swansea a few years ago when Hurst was here |  |

I'd go for a lopsided 442ish to try and get what we can out on the pitch....
--------------------------Holy------------------------
Donacien----Chambers-----Woolf------Ward
-Lankester---McGavin--Dozzell--Huws-------
----------------------Norwood--------Jackson----
If that makes any sense, Huws tucking in to support McG and Dozz, with Ward and Jackson picking up the slack on the flank | |

Nah, I see a lot of this but we bloody need a result regardless of bigger/smaller picture — margins this season will be wafer-thin and the stakes are way too high to offer any free passes. | |

4-3-1-2 get one of the midfield boys to sit in as the full backs provide the width. Whether they are capable is another question but ‘we are hopeless with 2 upfront’ |  | | |
