Overall, much stronger than I was expecting. Really looking forward to seeing how Maddison and Aneke link up, that could have huge potential this season.
An attacking team, that’s for sure.
Maddison should get an hour, and then a full couple of weeks of training with maybe a in house training game for a top up on minutes, and he should be ready to start at Gillingham on 21st.
Won’t be watching it myself, but look forward to seeing the highlights at some stage.
M.Brewer; Matthews, Barker, Inniss, Purrington Forster-Caskey, Levitt, Morgan Williams Aneke Maddison
4-3-3 it is.
Substitutes: Amos, Wiredu, Maatsen, Pratley, Vennings, Henry, Washington
Maddison will play from the right. Williams and Morgan both capable of taking it turns playing from the left, but predominantly Williams, you would expect.
Really looking forward to this line up. When you look at that team and who we have left out it shows what a fantastic job the recruitment team did in such a short space of time. Hopefully a bit of a cup run and 10 points clear in the league by February 😁

In house training game? We've got a FKA Johnson's Paint game on Tuesday!

@sage can you see that front 3 all playing more than an hour?
Not sure what the reasoning is for starting Aneke in the Cup but not in the League. If a chronic injury is the issue and the reason that he hasn't been able to string two starts together in the last 18 months then why play him at all in the Cup?

Wonder what our best midfield looks like with both Maddison and Gilby back.
They are a very decent unit, capable of playing an effective passing game. And know how to score.
They've got a good manager with 2 successive promotions on his CV. And the momentum that comes with winning promotion last season and a good start to this one.
No pushovers here.
Remember, down here in Cornwall half my mates are Green Army ..... if they win, I'm going to get my nose rubbed in it. Don't let me down.
Very surprised to see Aneke start this having not started any of the preceding league matches. Not sure this is the match I’d choose to test his fitness but Bows will have his reasons no doubt.

Wonder if its to keep him at the required fitness levels
Seem to remember it being an issue keeping him at the required level last season even when fit

Aneke's hardly likely to play more than 60 minutes, I would have thought.
Strong side although with the exception of Innis and the returning and needing minutes Aneke and Madison it is probably our second team which shows the strength of our squad. Interesting Baker is ahead of Ness and Mingi given the early season reason to include him i assume no longer is relevant?
Interesting that neither Mingi or Ness, who are apparently ahead of Barker in the u23s, are involved at all.
I touched on Barker's inclusion earlier ...... perhaps Bowyer thought Barker was the best fit alongside Inniss? No doubt they've been doing a bit of shape work in training yesterday.
Apparently, Pearcey is pencilled in for a comeback on Tuesday. Surely Mingi plays alongside him?
Not only is there a game today, and on Tuesday - but also U23s play on Monday. There's a need to balance out playing time. Everyone who needs a game will probably get a run out.
It's not often I could honestly describe a Charlton line-up as "exciting", but this is it. With Williams, Aneke and Maddison up front, I reckon there will be a few goals today.

I'm going Williams (hamstring), Aneke (thigh) Maddison (new tattoo)

He also said he wasn't going to take risks with anyone.

C'mon you Addicks. One cup EVERY century.
The Meds team manage Aneke, not Bowyer.
Pratley/Watson, or Washington who out of the fit players I'd expect to start.
Shows how strong our team is. Really looking forward to seeing how we play today.
