So 2nd round of the FA Cup today, with the relatively short trip down the A2 to the The Priestfield... with the chance to mix it up with the so called "Big Boys" in the 3rd round after we get this lot out of the way...
We have gone toe-to-toe on 39 previous occasions winning 18, Gills seven and the remaining 14 games producing draws, our last competitive meeting came at The Valley in August 2022, running out 3-0 victors in the EFL Trophy...
Gills have three of our previous players on the books in Lapslie, Willams, and of course Bonne, unsure if any of these will be in their lineup, but just make sure Bonne don't score...ok...

We have sold out our allocation and can look forward to 1600 Addicks making the trip, so hopefully they can have a good game and result to reward their efforts on a cold December Saturday...

Anyway, here we go...

Nathan Asiimwe, Lucas Ness, Louie Watson, Tyreece Campbell and Boban Tedić all start today's Emirates FA Cup second-round tie away to Gillingham as Michael Appleton makes five changes from from the team that beat Cheltenham Town on Tuesday.

Tennai Watson, Michael Hector and Scott Fraser move to the bench while Conor McGrandles (calf) and Miles Leaburn (hamstring) miss out with injury

The Addicks are expected to line-up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Asiimwe, Ness, Lloyd Jones and Tayo Edun playing in a back four in front of Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

Skipper George Dobson is joined by Louie Watson in midfield with Tyreece Campbell, Alfie May and Corey Blacket-Taylor operating behind Tedić.

Tennai Watson, Hector and Fraser are joined on the bench by Sam Walker, Terell Thomas, Harvey Kedwell, Karoy Anderson, Daniel Kanu and Micah Mbick.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Asiimwe, Ness, Jones, Edun; Dobson (c), L.Watson; T.Campbell, May, Blackett-Taylor; Tedić

Subs: Walker, T.Watson, Hector, Thomas, Kedwell, Anderson, Fraser, Kanu, Mbick

Good line up...Kanu & Mbick on the bench, should be strong enough to get the job done without the need for any replay...

    Tough to complain about that line-up... Should be able to get things done.

    Bit weak in attack on the bench
  • Strong team. I hope someone asks Appleton about Chem Campbell

    I don't think we'll be seeing Chem Campbell again. 
  • Williams - Lapslie - Bonne all start against us

    With the Leaburn news , time for Tedic to step up and see what he can do.

    Is that a 442? Tedic and May up front? Or May as a 10

    4-2-3-1, with Tedic playing as a lone, with Alfie as a 10...I think...🙄

    Not that different from 4-4-2 as one striker usually drops deep anyway.

    Definite scope for the curse of the former player today. Will be interesting to see what kind of reception Lapslie gets - I assume Williams will get a warm reception and Bonne a hostile one.

    One of them bound to score - hope it's not all 3 of them!

  • Is Bonne a native of Gillingham?
  • Make or break for Tedic now until 31 Dec.
    If no improvement back to City .
    Has to show what he can do against Division2 opposition but wouldn’t hold my breath.

    Charlton should still have too much for Gillingham , and into the pot for 3rd round.
