53' Charlton make a change as Chuks Aneke replaces Alex Gilbey.
Meanwhile, Donacien is down receiving treatment, and it looks like the Blues defender might have to make way.

352 with Innis, Pearce and Faemwo - 3 slow centre backs - not good. Not a fan of 352 / 532. Unless you have the players for it, I can't see Charlton getting anywhere with this formation. I don't understand keeping on playing it, unless to demonstrate / evidence to the Sandgaards, who is not suited to it.
We dominates them at the Valley and was probably one of our best performances of the season.
They’ve dominated us here and is most likely one of their best performances of their season.
Meanwhile both teams are finishing mid table. Tells you everything you need to know - we are not as different as you think.
- apparently we are easy to beat due to the formation, yet this team picks up 19 points from last nine games. Last time we had a bad run of results, Jacko’s tactics got found out but then it mysteriously started working again… when better players came in.
- the deficiencies of our midfielders was horribly exposed in the opening 15 minutes. Those deficiencies are leaving us open to semi-regular bad performances and we are being served one today.
Don’t see how this changes next year, unless we change tactically.
When we are in possession and pushing forwards our two advanced midfielders always seem to peel left and right, with Dobson tending to sit back centrally. This means when we get turned over there’s often massive spaces in the middle of the pitch for the opposition to exploit.
It happens time and time again, and it’s why teams like Hartlepool and even Gateshead were able to get players forward in good attacking positions.
It gets better next year once Gilbey and Morgan are out of the team. They are woeful. Can’t expect Dobson to run around chasing Celina, Chaplin and Bakinson all by himself.
That’s why midfield is the hardest position to play. You have to know when to get forward and when to hold your position, where the man is and where the pass is going. Unfortunately these two don’t have it.
I feel like you’ve completely missed my point here. It’s nothing to do with the ‘technical’ quality of Gilbey and Morgan. I’m talking about how tactically we are so set up to try and get the ball out wide and get crosses into Stockley that there is often massive open spaces in the middle of the park which are very easy to exploit on the turnover.
How does having better technical players rectify that? When often we end up in possession in to corner of the pitch with our WB, Washington and one of the midfielders.
Every tactic you implement is going to leave holes if everyone is doing their own thing with no regard for the team. For me, it always comes back to football intelligence. They aren’t working together. If in this example, one is going wide, the others have to cover.
Attempt missed. Bersant Celina (Ipswich Town) right footed shot from outside the box is high and wide to the right. Assisted by Sam Morsy following a set piece situation.

And have you seen better when Fraser, Lee or JFC played in those advanced positions? Ive not. Funny enough we had the same issue when Bowyer was in charge as well. The issue has persisted with whoever we played in the middle of the park, because we play an awful brand of one dimensional football, and have done for a long time.
Yeah it will work on some days. But over a difficult 46 game season, it’s never going to be enough to get you promoted.
