Owls gloomy about clash

One of Charlton's problems this season has been performing against teams who are in the relegation places when we meet them: Queen's Park Rangers, Colchester United, Scunthorpe United.

However, one of the Owls' leading websites is forecasting a narrow away win for the Addicks: Owls

I would expect Pards to keep the same team at Hillsborough as performed well against Palace. Although some fans think he is being scapegoated, I would drop Ambrose: his corners are poor and he gives the ball away too easily. However, one then has to the problem of how to replace him, although if Thomas has recovered from his illness, there might be a case for using him.

We understand the Sub-Standard will be forecasting: THE OWL OF MINERVA FLIES AT DUSK. We take this to mean a win for Wednesday, but we are going for 'Owls fail to sharpen their claws' and a 2-1 win for the Addicks.

I believe Ambrose is harshly treated by many Charlton fans. Lloyd Sam is equally wasteful, yet his mistakes are largely ignored. He doesn't score anywhere near as much either.

The problem with Ambrose is he usually gives the ball away when he clearly has options open to him, he can also make a three yard pass look difficult. At least Sam can drift and jink past defenders and unsettle them.
