I'll stick the tweets up on here from the official feed. No idea on if there is going to be any commentary on CAFC player.

Fox starts. Chicksen on the bench. No sign of Lookman.

3 5 2 for us?

Can't believe we're risking Ajose.

Also would've started Bauer and Chicksen to get some minutes in.

Lookman away with the England kids.

Magennis left out based on international duty. Hope its the same for Lookman.

Some decent players in that Southampton team, including the GK Alex McCarthy. And Jack Stephens too.

The Red Robin

Ridiculous competition.

Covered_End_Lad

Harrison Reed has played in prem for them too.

I feel bad for Chris Solly he doesn't deserve to be involved with this awful competition and a sub 500 crowd.

Looks like 442 with solly in midfield to me

newyorkaddick

Think we have to have six who played in the last fixture ie Solly, Fox, Foley, Crofts, Ajose, Konsa

ForeverAddickted

Thats Alex McCarthy as well... the ex-Palace Goalkeeper

Shame Muldoon isnt getting a start for us

Their number 43 is he the Chinese wonderkid named after our beloved ground? Believe his grandparents ran the Golden Wok in Powis Street in the 80's...

Lookman is on International Duty with England U20s

Think Ajose basically had to play, same goes for Solly etc.

ForeverAddickted

Nah we only had to play five First-Teamers

It's only 5, so we've played one extra!

I suppose we can afford to do so, with the weekend off

Jack Stephens is another with First-Team experience (Mainly on loan at other clubs, a lot was expected of him as has appeared for England U21s)

The good news is that pretty much the entire crowd will be able to hear Johnson swearing at everyone

Some clubs have taken the fine and changed all 11 players. Good on them #BteamBoycott

SELR_addicks

Why bother with first team players? I'd rather we just played the kids/players needing match fitness and treated it like a reserve game.

Blimey steady on... Its a £5k fine!!... What would you prefer, Charlton to be able to sign players tomorrow or for us to be forced to sell everyone because a £5k fine means Latrien has to miss a networking Breakfast??

Pompey field an entirely changed 11 while Exeter have their manager on the bench along with a 15 year old.
