Gavin Kilkenny makes his Charlton debut and takes the place of Albie Morgan, while Steven Sessegnon misses out with knee swelling overnight.
The game comes too soon for new signing Michael Hector, who is set to play for the club's U21s during the week.
The Addicks are expected to lineup in a 4-3-3 formation with Sean Clare, Ryan Inniss, Lucas Ness and Matt Penney starting in a back four in front of goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer.
Kilkenny is partnered in midfield by skipper George Dobson with Scott Fraser likely to play the most advanced of the three.
Jes Rak-Sakyi, Macauley Bonne and Corey Blackett-Taylor make up the front three.
Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Clare, Inniss, Ness, Penney; Kilkenny, Dobson (c), Fraser; Rak-Sakyi, Bonne, Blackett-Taylor
Substitutes: Harness, Thomas, Henry, Morgan, Payne, Campbell, Leaburn

Thanks for posting the full article from the OS... Wouldnt have read it, and didnt realise that Hector was due to play for the U21s this coming week - Shame he couldnt play as a trialist in our last game.
Not overly surprised at the line-up... Kilkenny start as I suspected he would - Little surprised that Bonne has been selected over Leaburn, but its an opportunity for him to show that last week was a difficult one being up against an absolute beast of a Centre-Back.1 -
Wonder when a game will come that Hector is ready for.0

Why is he not starting Leaburn?0

Watching the interview with Dean, looks like a nice surface at Exeter, will make a pleasant change for the lads from our field at the valley last week..1

Great pre-match entertainment. The mass parachute jump onto the pitch, advertising Siemens washing machines, was a blast.6
-
Disappointing that Sessegnon is unfit and that Leaburn stays on the bench.3

Agree. Sess is going to find it hard to cement a contract that merits his level due to being injury prone.
What's with the sudden 'resting' of Leaburn, while we have had long gaps between games. Are we ensuring he doesn't get a trademark Charlton injury?3 -
No Hector? Hasn’t played since at least May 2022 so must be fit. However, he did only complete half a medical at Sheffield Wednesday. Be lucky to see him in the first team. Surprised Bonne starts over Leaburn, just hope he’s been informed of the offside rules during the week.1

Copying my comments from the preview thread;
Reckon Sess is another victim of our perennial lopsided squads and we might have crocked him long term by repeatedly playing him through an injury that should have been rested.Bonne starting again after last week. Holden has been Charltonized already.1 -
Sure I heard Brownie mention the word "takeover" earlier...soon got subject changed though...

I agree. It’s three weeks since Miles played a full game, so why does the lad need a ‘rest’, especially as we have no midweek game ?mendonca said:Agree. Sess is going to find it hard to cement a contract that merits his level due to being injury prone.

Or he already has one. 😕mendonca said:Agree. Sess is going to find it hard to cement a contract that merits his level due to being injury prone.

When are we ever going to have a proper right back fit to play? With both Clare and Penney and JRS and CBT in front of them, I can't see us keeping a clean sheet. Also disappointing that Bonne gets a start in place of Leaburn. I think Miles would create lots more problems. Sess's injury is starting to be a bit of a worry. I don't think we will see much more of him this season. No real surprise that Hector isn't match fit, but as others have said - Will he ever be?
Having seen the line up I now definitely think we will lose. I hope the team are inspired and prove me wrong.0 -
Considering it was made clear by the medical team that Sess' could play through this injury then I think a second opinion would be a good idea and to save cab fare get Sess to take Chuks with him0

Yeah of course, apart from the part where it says he's playing midweek in the stiffs/youth game in midweek, and will almost certainly be in the squad within 2 weeks.LargeAddick said:No Hector?

I'm expecting a bonne double and a innis master class at the back.1

He’s ‘set’ to play for the U21’s, let’s see if he actually does and if so for how long. As for in the squad in two weeks, again let’s wait and see shall we. I may be being negative but I just think it was an awful, desperation deadline day signing.sam3110 said:

Brownie seems very up regarding the "expected takeover" when talking about the in's and out's in the window, sounds like it could be 3/4 weeks away reading from the chat today..🤷♂️0

And people like you with the constant negativity circle jerk on here push these opinions on everyone to farm cheap likes, I get it, it's fine. But don't let it get in the way of the facts and the actual information put up in the articlesLargeAddick said:

Always get more nervous watching the stream than I do watching at the ground.1

It does seem like a gamble. But I like a gamble. If it comes off we could be quids in.LargeAddick said:
