"Dean Holden says he expects a response from his players when
Charlton take on Port Vale at The Valley on Saturday"....

Well Amen to that one Deano...if any game was a must win , then today is the day
So lets go get it..

Terry Taylor will make his full league debut in today’s clash with Port Vale.

Daniel Kanu also earns a starting place after scoring his first league goal in mid-week, while Michael Hector returns to the side as Dean Holden makes three changes.

Jack Payne and Lucas Ness move to the bench, while Panutche Camara misses out with a minor foot injury.

Addicks could line-up in a 3-5-2 or a 4-3-3. If the aforementioned, Hector would be part of a back three alongside Lloyd Jones and Tayo Edun in front of goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer. Karoy Anderson and skipper George Dobson, playing his 100th game for the club, would join Taylor in midfield with Nathan Asiimwe and Corey Blackett-Taylor operating as wing backs. Kanu would then partner Alfie May in a front two.

If operating a 4-3-3, Blackett-Taylor and Kanu would play either side of May, with Asiimwe dropping back into a back four.

Payne and Ness are joined on the Charlton bench by Harry Isted, Terell Thomas, Diallang Jaiyesimi, Charlie Kirk and Conor McGrandles.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Asiimwe, Jones, Hector, Edun; Dobson (c), Taylor, Anderson; Kanu, May, Blackett-Taylor

Substitutes: Isted, Ness, Thomas, McGrandles, Payne, Kirk, Jaiyesimi

    Kanu deserves a start, but it’s a shame it’s because we have so few options rather than because he’s impressing more than 2 or 3 other strikers.

    Hope we're winning 3-0 by 60 minutes because that bench is doing nothing.

    Can’t see Edun being in a back three. It’s definitely a four at the back. Will be interesting to see what the attacking shape looks like - could just be as simple as Kanu and CBT either side of May…

    probably our strongest current 11. Which is fucking depressing

    Not a single option on the bench you would really like to bring on to change a game. And four of them I'd be glad to see the back of.

    Agreed, you'd pick Thomas if you wanted a left sided CB

    That bench is terrible
    How many players on there we are trying to offload.....

    I would guess the Payne for Kanu sub is probably already pre decided regardless of the current result of the match. Excluding that have to hope DJ/Kirk will want to impress other clubs prior to departing before end of the window.

    Jaiyesimi on the bench? Wow.

    There's some attacking and creative firepower on that there bench: McGrumbles, the Yellow Card Midget, Chuckles Kirk and the lesser-spotted DJ.

    I can see Port Vale running up the white flag before kick off ...

    If that's true, we need to send him back and look elsewhere...

    Where have you heard that? Club say “minor” so not sure 6-8 weeks lines up with that.

    He has gone from a minor foot injury to 6-8 weeks out in the space of 14 posts.

    I should think Kanu will play inside supporting May, CBT hugging the opposite touchline?

    Opens a path for Asiimwe to bomb forward, then Dobbo can move across to cover.
