Anyone else making the trip to the valley tonight. Thought I would ask as cannot see a single mention on here. Just need to know if its a table for one tonight.
Believe we have to start 4 outfield "first teamers", that being player that either started vs Southend, will start vs Wycombe or in our list of top 10 players with highest number starting appearances this season.
Sarr should be in that group. I expect him to play, and probably Ajose...maybe Cullen. And either Grant or Pearce to start and play 45 minutes or so.
Didn't even know we were playing, looked at a few games for a bet but didnt even realise we are still in it. Just play the youth and a couple who need match practice, Ajose/Vetokle/ Sarr/ Steer
I will be there - battled through the online booking system to home-print my ticket, but looks like there will be more on the pitch than in the stands!
Lee Bowyer has revealed some of his starting line-up for Charlton Athletic’s EFL Trophy tie tonight – confirming there will be a debut for loan goalkeeper Jed Steer.
The shotstopper arrived on loan from Aston Villa just before the season started but has been back-up to first choice Dillon Phillips.
But Bowyer confirmed to The Mercury that Steer will start against AFC Wimbledon.
And he does not expect to fall foul of the competition’s rules which see a four-figure fine handed out if the Addicks do not name enough first-team regulars.
“We are fortunate really because we have got injuries coming back and those players need minutes,” said Bowyer. “So they’ll play.
“Ben Reeves will play and Mark Marshall needs to play. George Lapslie will start and so will Taylor Maloney, who has been with us all pre-season. Naby Sarr will play and Jed will be in goal, it’s a good chance to see him.
“Igor [Vetokele] will start. Again, he hasn’t played any serious minutes since Welling United in pre-season.

No!
Recco and Igor score in 3 - 1 win
Throw Steer | Vetokele | Reeves in for some needed minutes and it'll probably be a good run out to get fitness levels up
What date is the parade?

For a weekend.

Would that fall foul of the rules?
I would not risk Pearce.
