I don't like the way our bench matches up against their bodies behind the ball tactics. Perhaps today's the day that Morgan comes on and opens them up with a little bit of class.
Souaré just isn’t attack minded enough. JJ had to do something because of the lack of options at the back, but Souaré just doesn’t offer the threat Purrington has been showing recently. The trouble is, we need someone who is at least a bit defensive on that side as we’re playing a lb at lcb so he’s going to need defensive support - so Kirk may not be the answer - but if time starts to run out I can see Kirk coming on to hopefully show what he can do in the attacking third.
On the right hand side, considering we’re playing a midfielder at rcb, I think CBT (like DJ before him) has put in a decent shift defensively, considering he’s a winger by trade.
Unfortunately the two wingbacks are leaving us a bit light up front due to (to varying degrees) working a bit too much on defence.
I expect DJ to replace CBT on about 60 mins to frighten their defence, plus Leko for Davison, then Kirk for Souaré late on if we still need a goal.

Swap Purrington and Souare
Not sure my heart could handle Souare playing closer to our goal

Or put Deji in the back 3 & Purrington in the wing back position.
For the 949 #CAFC supporters that braved the journey to Shrewsbury there are only two trains back to Birmingham. 5.31pm & 5.41pm.
It's about a 30 minute walk to the train station from the stadium.

Corner, Charlton Athletic. Conceded by Matthew Pennington.
If their planned method of transport home isn't running at least they can get an umbrella and do a Mary Poppins back.

Offside, Shrewsbury Town. George Nurse tries a through ball, but Ryan Bowman is caught offside.
Leko replaces Davison
