Kayal injured for 7 months no doubt.5

Very interesting no Kayal1
-
No Field or Kayal
Former makes sense as Bowyer said that Field had missed a lot of pre season1 -
Kayal and Field not involved in the eighteen.

Josh Cullen, who returned to the club on Wednesday, will go straight into the starting lineup for today’s game at home to Stoke City.
Conor Gallagher and Jonathan Leko will start for the Addicks for the first time as Naby Sarr, George Lapslie and Jake Forster-Caskey move to the bench.
Chris Solly will also make his first appearance of the season after the departure of Anfernee Dijksteel to Middlesbrough.
Chuks Aneke returns to the bench, while new signings Beram Kayal and Sam Field are not included in the squad.
Charlton were very impressive in last week’s opening day, away win at Blackburn Rovers and are expected to play a different formation to the 5-diamond-1 in place that day.
Dillon Phillips starts in goal behind a likely back four of Solly, Tom Lockyer, captain Jason Pearce and Ben Purrington.
If the Addicks opt for a diamond in midfield it will likely be with Cullen holding, Gallagher and Darren Pratley in the middle and Jonny Williams behind a front two of Lyle Taylor and Leko.
Given Leko and Williams can both play wide, it is possible Lee Bowyer will opt for a 4-3-3 formation.
Forster-Caskey, Aneke, Sarr and Lapslie will be joined on the bench by Ben Amos, Deji Oshilaja and Macauley Bonne.

Kayal played 13 minutes pre season for Brigton according to flash scores, so he probably needs time5

My mate said he saw Kayal and Field at Waterloo this morning, they had a bust up with Bowyer and no longer want to play for us, looks like they want out of Charlton.18

Forest have just equalised at Elland Road. 14 minutes plus added time left to play there.

Surely a 4-4-2 diamond given Jones also uses that system.1

Kayal was at sparrows lane earlier doing a few shuttle runs with physio4

I reckon Bowyer has matched up to the Stoke formation, with 4 at the back plus 2 up front.
That Charlton midfield should have a lot of energy and running.
Edit: Posts have crossed, Scoham!

Sorry Oggy, completely missed this. I’ve pinned it now for you1

If we do go for a diamond, who do we expect will be at the tip and the base? They all almost play anywhere. Pratley or Cullen at the base, Williams or Gallagher at the tip...0

Pleased to see Pratley involved again. Would have been a bit harsh to drop him after last weekend’s committed performance.4

Last week was a sweet surprise and a great atmosphere. Please keep all the updates and atmosphere references coming for this of us relying on you....and thanks in advance coyr!!!!3
