Yes, the club said so.

I hope Apter is ready to be booed and heckled by the away fan.

KO delayed to 2:15

I would say the likely formation is

                               Hardy

Minto-St Aimie Burke McNamee-Burke Tagoe

                         Ouma Thomas

Hebert                     Apter                    Reid

                              Mbick


Minto-St Aimie is the the youngest, saw him in the tournament the u16s played last season (FM research 🤓), decent size, comfortable on the ball, lost his temper a few times but from him being involved at this level already I expect he’s a real battler. OS said he can play RB/CB/CM.

McNamee is the Jamaican winger who joined a year ago, but seems to have played FB/WB for us and now potentially CB. A big unit but only seen a cameo so don’t know much about him.

Tagoe is a left footed right winger but has spent time on both flanks in attacking and more defensive roles. A small tricky dribbler with pace.

Thomas is a CM on the smaller side but makes up for it being tidy and composed on the ball.

Hebert got goals and assists at this level last season while on trial and since signing, interesting to see how he progresses.

Reid is the most exciting player on there, loves a trick, brilliant dribbler, but will frustrate with decision making and sometimes end product.

Apparently now starts at 2.20.
Great line up to watch.

Last season I thought Reid tended to hold on to the ball too much. He has close control though, and growing quite a bit.
Fascinated to see the two unfamiliar guys  Minto-St Aimee and McNamee-Burke.

Some might know, do the Met police regularly park  3 cars outside Charlton ticket office. No police in sight though. 

Check the number plates, do any of them have RAK or AO in them?

Anyone got the stream yet!?

Scoham

Just started (stream, not the game)

fenaddick

Nice to hear Tel on comms

fenaddick

Terrifying seeing Burke fly down the left wing, thought his hamstring would go any minute 

Codfishjunior

Mbick so good 

Valley11

Tagoe looks good 

Henry Irving

Well on top but not creating many clear cut chances.

wolfgang

Probably the first time Charlton have played father and son as centre-back pairing?

Scoham

Burnham on for Mbick, another big physical striker, and Belton for Ouma in the holding role.

Scoham

Washington-Amoah on too, looks like Belton’s at CB

Henry Irving

Apter misses open goal

LTKapal

How did Ouma do?

Athletico Charlton

Is Minto St-Aimee in any way related to Minto?

Ok, didn't have too much to do but passed well and tidied up when needed.

More about fitness I guess. Burke also looked comfortable.

Apter only 1st teamer left on.

Not seen it mentioned which I'm pretty sure it would have been if so.

Ditto the two Burkes

Any score please ?

Isn't the "other" Burke the Jamaican lad we signed? Unlikely to be related to Reece if so

Playing left wing, or trying to stay central?

Minto-St Aimie far more likely to be related to the non league striker of the same surname.

Well they just scored from halfway so I don't think our young keeper is getting a call up any time soon!
