After Todorov?

With Todorov out for the rest of the season, there is now a range of attacking options for those who like to play the Charlton version of Championship manager. Iwelumo and Varney in a 4-4-2 is the conventional solution likely to be favoured by Pards. Others see merit in a 4-5-1 with Zheng Zhi in the hole behind Big Chris (who seems to show a remarkable inability to score with his head).

Others are advocating the merits of McLeod even though he has leapt two divisions and has so far failed to impress. Could he be the new Lisbie? One experienced Addick commented, 'at the present, it appears he offers a lot of the same things that Lisbie did (speed, opening space) and did not (finish, score goals).
So it is amusing that some who were so anti-Lisbie are now baying for McLeod.'

Meanwhile it has revealed that novice commentator Ivy the Terrible has been dropped from Saturday's match. A visit today from her personal trainer led to the verdict that she was 'too nervous' about the fixture. There is also an advantage in having a dog reporter who lives nearer the ground for such an early kick off so lucky spaniel Monty 'Monts' Martin has been drafted in from Blewbury, Oxon. It is rare for him to come to a match that Charlton fail to win.
