That's my slight concern about a 4-5-1 formation - the lack of chances created - so far.

You really need your central midfield to support the lone striker and whilst away from home it gives us more midfield solidity, at home I would be inclined to go 4-4-2 - particulalry as it's Exeter who have 1 away point from 21.

They will probably defend deep and we really need to have numbers going forwards.

It is an interesting debate though as there are a number of options for Saturday. I think a lot depends on Murray being fit. If he is, I imagine we will go 4-4-2 but who do you drop from midfield then? Is it one of the central midfielders and go all out attack. Or do you put Dicker on the left wing and possibly leave Lua Lua on the bench with him coming on after an hour to terrorise a tiring defence. It is a great selection worry as all six who played on Tuesday deserve to keep their place but Murray also played well at Leeds. Makes a nice change to have options.

If Murray is out still, I think we will probably stick with 4-5-1, whether or not it is the right move, we will see.

just watched the highlights and it comes across as though we were a bit lucky, if Charlton could finish could have been a couple down before half-time. Do they tell the whole story of the game?

I was a bit puzzled by that as well Rookie. I know I was a little bit pissed, but I thought we bossed the game. Watching those hightlights and also looking at the shots on target stats gives the totally opposite impression.

Shot's on target pretty even but off target they had more. They didn't have that many chances and yes we were the better team - all the Charlton fans said that even!
