MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic vs Port Vale: Saturday 19th August 2023: KO 3:00 PM
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

Good team. Come you on Addicks2

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.2
-
Hope we're winning 3-0 by 60 minutes because that bench is doing nothing.5
-
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…2
-
probably our strongest current 11. Which is fucking depressing7
-
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.5

Agreed, you'd pick Thomas if you wanted a left sided CBCallumcafc said: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…0 -

That bench is terrible
How many players on there we are trying to offload.....2 -
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.SELR_addicks said:Hope we're winning 3-0 by 60 minutes because that bench is doing nothing.0 -
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 ...1 -

If that's true, we need to send him back and look elsewhere...Sir Chrissy said:Camara 6-8 weeks apparently 🤦🏼♂️0 -

Very attacking... looks 4-3-3. 4-1 home win1

" minor foot injury"
Not once our medical team have got to work on him.5 -
Where have you heard that? Club say “minor” so not sure 6-8 weeks lines up with that.Sir Chrissy said:Camara 6-8 weeks apparently 🤦🏼♂️1 -
He has gone from a minor foot injury to 6-8 weeks out in the space of 14 posts.Sir Chrissy said:Camara 6-8 weeks apparently 🤦🏼♂️

Minor isn't 2 months lol give over, typical hyperbole on here0

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.
