I'm deputising today as @eastterrace6168 is having a family day out at the Valley. Hopefully our players will be refreshed and energised by the International break, and we'll manage to avoid our recent first half malaise, but that remains to be seen. Aneke's starting again, Watson and Watson are preferred over Asiimwe and Fraser, and Camara is back on the bench, as is the new sub keeper Walker.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; T.Watson, Hector, Jones, Thomas; Dobson (c), L.Watson; Tedić, May, Blackett-Taylor, Aneke
Subs: Walker, Asiimwe, Ness, Camará, Fraser, T.Campbell, Leaburn

    Decent team, unsure on Tedic on the right though

    Don't like that lineup I'd rather start Asimwe instead of Twatson and Fraser or Campbell not Tedic.

    Hope Tedic isn’t on one of those “if he’s fit he has to play” loan contracts.

    Tesco is NOT a right winger - we have one of those on the bench 

    …and I’ll repeat, Aneke is much better as an impact sub

    No real complaints from me... Tedic on the right hasn't always worked, but its not been a complete disaster either - In Appleton we trust... Nice bench, hope we wont need to rely on them.

    I wonder what Man City (if they care) think about their centre forward who keeps playing on the wing?

    That is an absurdly stacked bench. I'll bet there's no other team in this league with that to call on in reserve, and that it isn't close

    Tedic is, indeed, an odd choice.

    I reckon this bench is the strongest we’ve ever fielded in a League 1 game. Plenty of ammunition to introduce later in the game.

    Telic hasn't impressed so far. Let's live in hope. Wide right?? No T Campbell surely! Has pace

    Is that really a thing? What manager would agree to that, unless he was signing Messi?!

    Three home **unbeaten** in a row. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

    I maintain Aneke is better as an impact sub rather than starting him.
    Hopefully he can prove me wrong.

    First page of match thread, and we’ve already had spellings of Tedić, Tedic, Tesco, Telic!

    Adds height in both boxes, doesn't play as a conventional line-hugging winger, creates space for the unmarked overlapping full back.

    TC can come on later as Plan B and pose different problems to a tiring defence.

    It was "broke" last home game until Aneke & Campbell came on.  

    Campbell should be on the right, not a striker. End of.

    Yeah, the bench is better than half our starting XI  :p

    Don't forget also that the bench can be considered as much of our starting X! for the last 30 minutes.

    The days of starting with your strongest X! and finishing with a couple of sub reserves are over.
    These days, it's a 100 minute game - and you need the team that finishes the match to be as strong as the team that started it.

    The Aneke debate has now moved onto the next chapter! Maybe we would have beaten Blackpool if he started the game, who knows.
