Chris Solly, Tom Lockyer and Naby Sarr have returned to the Charlton lineup for this evening’s game against Huddersfield Town.
Fans not able to get to The Valley this evening can watch the action live on Valley Pass and the Valley Pass app. Our production will offer a multi-camera broadcast of the game with action replays of the key moments, as well as Charlton commentary from Terry Smith and Greg Stubley.
The trio replace Adam Matthews, Deji Oshilaja and Joe Ledley who move to the bench. There is also a place on the bench for long-term absentee Lyle Taylor who returned from injury on Saturday as a second half substitute.
It means the Addicks may well line up in a 5-4-1 formation with Dillon Phillips in goal behind a defence of Solly, Lockyer, Jason Pearce, Sarr and Ben Purrington. Jon Leko, Darren Pratley, Conor Gallagher and Alfie Doughty could operate as a midfield four behind Macauley Bonne.
However, Lee Bowyer may opt for a 3-5-2 formation, which he has used more often. In this formation Leko would likely partner Bonne up front with Doughty playing in a midfield trio alongside Pratley and Gallagher.
Academy graduates Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Albie Morgan and James Vennings are also on the bench.
I absolutely love Bowyer, don't hold him at all responsible for the recent form, we'd be fucked without him etc as a pre-fix before someone claims I'm a boo-boy or anything.
But I don't understand why he seems to bench Albie at any possible opportunity? Has looked one of our most promising players during this recent awful form. Doughty was fantastic against Sheff Wed at left back, but surely he's not a better option in the diamond?
But as above, our current back line seems the bigger concern. Oshilaja seems to have been the best performing of the lot and dropped.

Agreed, getting slightly irritated at the way Bowyer keeps picking out Morgan as not being ready, as if he was somehow the weak link in the side.
Solly playing as wing back with Oshi and Matthews on the bench ? .. Taylor also on the bench, IF he's fit he should be starting but not necessarily finishing the game .. whatever, Come on Youse Addicksaaaaa !

Morgan has played well as a sub, but looked a bit lost when he started vs Luton. Personally I'd start him tonight and give him a chance in a home game, but, in Bowyer's defence, I don't think Albie has been 100% convincing and I say that as someone who believes Albie is going to be a very good player..

Definitely agree with that. Thought his head dropped a bit for a while when a couple of passes didn't find the target. I'd trust Bow on this, like I trust him on just about everything else right now.

Reading the Huddersfield comments online, they don't seem to know how they're going to set up either.
He's often said that.
Otherwise it depends on the gameplan or a a question of team balance.
