Match Thread (+Post p23): Gateshead vs Charlton | FA Cup 2nd Round | Fri 3rd Dec 2021, 7.45pm

edited December 2021 in General Charlton
It was touch and go to get home just in time to write the Match Thread, having driven for more than an hour from Padstow in horrible conditions in the pissing Cornish rain. But I made it. Now I'm trusting that Johnny Jackson and co are just as fired up to make it through to meet the Big Boys in the next round.

BANANA SKIN ALERT! Most of us still shudder remembering that wretched Northwich Victoria cup tie. We need to well heed the fact that The Heeds will be well up for this one. To some, Charlton Athletic is a big scalp.

Good news that Ryan Inniss is out training on grass - but for him and Jason Pearce, this match comes too soon. Leeeeeeko is back in the squad but lacking match fitness, but I'm expecting a strong line up, augmented by a couple of fringe players/prospects. 


Four changes:

Charlton: Henderson; Clare, Elerewe, Famewo; Jaiyesimi, Gilbey, Dobson, Lee, Purrington; Stockley (c), Washington

Subs: MacGillivray, Gunter, Souaré, Arter, Watson, Morgan, Kirk, Leko, Davison




Remember, live on telly ITV4 , but no Charlton TV coverage as per the televised rules.


COYR!

    We'll have a bench of nine players tonight so expect Jackson to basically select anyone he can - Five changes will be allowed, yet like the League last season can only make them during three stoppages

    The pitch is a long way from the stand and terraces!

    Going to be a challenge for our hard-travelling faithful to make an atmosphere.

    Full strength side with perhaps the exception of Henderson in goal and Elerewe in the back line.
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    Jesus thats the first team apart from Henderson. 

    Jackson isnt pissing about is he. 

    Although bit risky with Ipswich to come on Tuesday

    Well that is as strong as is possible. I imagine the theory is to make subs when comfortable with a view to Tuesday. That is the theory!!!!

    Nothing else to say

    I'm fairly certain he is a regular starter in the league too. Not as if he's put himself in for the "glamour" tie against the giants of Charlton Athletic.

    Agree. Respects the oppo and the competition. And after all, £34,000 is £34,000!

    In my opinion it's the way it should always be.

    Begin the match with the first XI (near as possible), put the tie to bed as soon as we can, then start subbing off the important people for Tuesday's game against Dipswich.

    Playing a second XI and possibly having to chase the game later to avoid embarrassment is always a recipe for disaster and shows scant respect for the competition.

    Instead, start big, get the job done ... and then start resting players.
    The five sub rule probably helps clubs take it more seriously... As Mutley says, we basically get to show respect to the competition, aim to get the job done, then we can replace half the squad with Tuesday in mind.

    I'd guess Burstow's still feeling whatever caused him to be subbed on Tuesday.

    I say bollocks to defending, attack as much as possible, but stay onside.
