Charlton vs WBA - Double Match Thread - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 03-01-2020

The peculiar cup curse that dogs Albion has struck for the second time this season and the umpteenth time in recent years, forcing us to play the same fixture twice in a week as we double up our visits to the Valley with an FA Cup tie against Charlton on Sunday and a league match against them the following Saturday. For nostalgia buffs, there's at least a minor sense of history to the cup game as it's now been exactly thirty years since Albion faced First Division Charlton in the same competition at the Hawthorns in 1990, winning 1-0 on a barely-playable quagmire pitch; one of the last bright moments we had before the worst nosedive in the club's history. Fingers crossed that our league fortunes will be considerably better this time around, though the struggle for form over the last month remains a concern. If anyone in blue and white fancies doing an Earnie down in South London next week, it'd be a massive help...

My old boss was a Charlton fan.
Earnie did me proud Back then and so I wonder who will star for us in this fixture.

Earnie got a hat-trick that day, but I thought he was better suited to The Championship. Wouldn't mind a player like that to get us into the Prem, though (if we can't get Gayle).

Just the 11 changes then
How many youth players are in there wow !!
Obviously Barry and Brunt in there for pace
RE: Charlton vs WBA - Double Match Thread - WBA-Josh - 05-01-2020
Zohore makes it 1-0.

That’ll be 2 penalties for clear hand ball not given.
RE: Charlton vs WBA - Double Match Thread - baggietrousers - 05-01-2020
I'm not a fan VAR but when the refereeing is as bad as this you really need it.
Two clear handballs in the area to deny good goal scoring opportunities.

Amazing - nearly 2,000 Away fans.
Considering the Cup is nowhere near the Tournament it used to be, with fans up-and-down the country generally turning their backs on it and the fans have got the same journey on Saturday, and the M1 is closed, , that's quite a turn-out.
Wemb-er-ley!!!
