Bakinson should've played that earlier.

Pitch is an absolute potato patch today btw.

ForeverAddickted

Looks like Bakinson is ahead of Coventry and Dobson who are sitting in front of the defence more

carly burn

Playing surface is horrific.

Burton pressing our defence well. Not the sort of.pitch for trying to.play out from the back.

The far side of the pitch is fine, so the players have to adjust their play depending on which side they are in.

Early booking for Mason Bennett. Wipes out Tayo Edun on the touchline.

Chunes

We get a free kick or a throw in their half and immediately go 20 yards backwards 

ForeverAddickted

Great work Edun to get Bennett that booking

Edun has started the game well

Nice move ends with Bakinson trying to take out the ISS.

Burton are very deep. Back five deployed out of possession, will be up to Charlton to break them down. Chance as Edun is down the left, inside to May, tees up Bakinson who mis hits from the edge of the area and it flies high and wide.

ForeverAddickted

Oh that move deserved a goal, great work from Dobbo and Bakinson in midfield to release Edun. 

Neat low cross finds Bakinson who shanks it

Dazzler21

Bakinson loves to chip the ball when he hits it. Should have just leathered that.

ForeverAddickted

Burton just cant get the ball, when they get it, they cant keep it

golfaddick

We need to attack down their right hand side - Caprice will be worrying too much about her nails to do any defending. 

Chunes

Edun doing very well so far. Out of CBT's shadow

@LouisMend

Superb touch from Edun to break into the area, goes down and appeals for a penalty but the referee isn't interested

se9addick

Best I’ve seen Edun play

Looked like a pen when Edun is taken out in the box...close stuff

ForeverAddickted

Edun asks for a penalty, but lets steps back and appreciate the skill to get him in that position!!

Outstanding

Is Bakinson playing Attacking Mid?

Dazzler21

100% penalty for me.

Oh that looked a wicked FK from Coventry

Jones shanks his header.

@LouisMend

Coventry's free-kick from midway through the Burton half is superbly measured, headed over by someone in an Addicks shirt in the middle - possibly Jones

Edun looking very good so far. Not a penalty for me though. 

Laddick01

Jones really has to improve his attacking headers. A few this year that he should've done a lot better with.

Dazzler21

Can we leave Jones in defence for free kicks... He's so shit at heading.
