edited March 5 in General Charlton
Tonight is another chance to put some daylight between us and the bottom Four in another must win game...
So the trip to Cheltenham makes it the third of the trilogy of away fixtures in a week, and a game there is no reason whatsoever why we can't come home with three very precious points in the bag...heady heights of 14th could be ours...
We have clashed on six previous occasions with the winning one, the Robins three and the remaining two games resulting in draws, Alfie bagged a brace in the reverse fixture in November 2023 when Charlton came from behind to earn a 2-1 triumph, could well see a repeat, maybe with a clean sheet, just sort out the tippy tappy stuff in the box please...and the double could well be on

So, let's see...

Nathan Jones has named an unchanged starting XI for tonight's clash with Cheltenham Town.

Lloyd Jones returns to the bench following a two-game suspension and is the only change to the Charlton squad that drew with Northampton Town on Saturday.

The Addicks are again expected to line-up with a 3-5-2 formation with Ramarni Edmonds-Green, Macaulay Gillesphey and Terell Thomas in the back three in front of Harry Isted, who turned 27 today.

Karoy Anderson, who has netted in two successive matches, will be joined by Conor Coventry and skipper George Dobson in midfield with Tennai Watson and Thierry Small operating as wing-backs.

Alfie May returns to his former club and will partner  Daniel Kanu up front.

Lloyd Jones joins Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Nathan Asiimwe, Michael Hector, Tyreece Campbell and Freddie Ladapo as Nathan Jones’ gamechangers with Tayo Edun not included from Saturday's squad.

Charlton: Isted; Edmonds-Green, Thomas, Gillesphey; T.Watson, Coventry, Dobson (c), Anderson, Small; May, Kanu

Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Asiimwe, Jones, Hector, Bakinson, Campbell, Ladapo

    No Aneke or Camara in the squad. We are doomed!

    I’d have preferred Jones in over Thomas.

    I think Thomas has been relatively solid, though he does often look like he is always falling over to me, if he is not hoofing the ball out wildly ha ha. I just think Jones is better.

    Having his minutes managed is he. Just be honest with us ffs.

    That bench is offering sweet FA if we're chasing ,so let's hope we start well and score a couple.

    What's the harm in not telling us the truth if it keeps the opposition guessing as well? - I mean its not life and death us knowing or not is it?

    No chance you would be managing Chuks minutes after barely playing 90 minutes over 4 games in a ‘relegation 6 pointer’.

    Hope the starting 11 can do it for us tonight, as not seeing the bench being much help (hope I’m wrong and Ladapo can find his scoring boots again).

    Positive - not many L1 teams would have CBs of the quality of Jones and Hector on the bench.

    Negative - Aneke clearly injured again and this must pretty much be the end of the road for Camara and any chance of us offering him a contract in the summer.

    Outcome - very, very comfortable Charlton win.

    As far as I am concerned this is our biggest league game on years. Frankly if Chuks has got a pulse get him on the bench - that’s how important he is.

    I thought Aneke looked injured up at Derby, he was barely moving, even by his standards.

    Take it... We've never played well against Cheltenham, and only have the one victory ourselves which was the god awful win at the Valley this season
