Scott Fraser will start in the league for the first time since August in tonight’s game at the LNER Stadium against Lincoln City.
Miles Leaburn makes his 50th appearance for the club while Nathan Asiimwe and Tyreece Campbell also start as Michael Appleton makes four changes from the team that beat Reading 4-0 at The Valley on Saturday.
Tennai Watson, Louis Watson and Boban Tedić, who all started on Saturday, move to the bench, while Chuks Aneke, who was substituted at the weekend, misses out with a hamstring injury. Aneke is replaced in the squad by Chem Campbell.
The Addicks are expected to line-up in the 4-2-3-1 formation used in recent weeks. Ashley Maynard-Brewer starts again in goal with Asiimwe, Lloyd Jones, Michael Hector and Terell Thomas making up the back four in front of him.
Skipper George Dobson and the returning Fraser will play together in central midfield with Tyreece Campbell, Alfie May and Corey Blackett-Taylor operating behind striker Leaburn.
The Watsons, Tedić and Chem Campbell are joined on the bench by Sam Walker, Lucas Ness and Panutche Camará.
Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Asiimwe, Jones, Hector, Thomas; Dobson (c), Fraser; T.Campbell, May, Blackett-Taylor; Leaburn
Subs: Walker, T.Watson, Ness, L.Watson, Camará, C.Campbell, Tedić
Comments
My advice to the players is avoid being caught offside as much as possible.
Fingers crossed we play CBT at left back and Campbell upfront so I have something to berate him for. 🤞
Now, just the score to get right...🤔
Maynard-Brewer
Asiimwe - Hector - Jones - Thomas
Dobson - Fraser
T.Campbell - May - Blackett-Taylor
Leaburn
Walker, T.Watson, Ness, L.Watson, Camara, C.Campbell, Tedic
Lincoln City 0-2 Charlton Athletic
Seriously.....probably our best 11 (although Camara & Watson (L) might have a word to say about that).
Expecting a 4-0 comfortable away win now. No pressure lads.
Already bumped into two Charlton fans.
Nonetheless, it's close to our strongest XI tonight, probably just Edun missing and maybe Fraser switched for Watson/Camara.
Me to.
