MATCH THREAD : Charlton Athletic Vs Wigan Athletic : Tuesday 9th April 2024 : KO 19:45
Wigan sit three places and two points above us in 13th place, and tonight we could be swapping places with them with three points to extend our unbeaten run to 12 matches
We've clashed with Wigan on 17 previous occasions, winning seven, the Latics winning seven, with the remaining three meetings resulting in draws, Alfie May bagged a brace and Corey Blackett-Taylor was also on the scoresheet in the reverse fixture in October 2023, when we claimed a well deserved 3-2 triumph, after going 0-3 up before half time all seemed rosy, we had a nervy finish but hung on to claim our first victory on the road...so, a double up and coming?
Here we go...
Tennai Watson returns to the Charlton starting line-up for tonight's game against Wigan Athletic.
Kayne Ramsay moves to the bench where he is joined by Connor Wickham, who is in the squad for the first time since making his debut against Carlisle United.
It means the Addicks are likely to again line up with Terell Thomas, Michael Hector, who is set to make his 50th Charlton appearance, and Macaulay Gillesphey in a back three in front of goalkeeper Harry Isted.
Watson and Thierry Small are expected to operate as wing-backs with Conor Coventry, skipper George Dobson, and Karoy Anderson operating as a midfield three.
23-goal Alfie May once again partners Daniel Kanu up front.
Ramsay and Wickham are joined on the bench by Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Tyreeq Bakinson, Tyreece Campbell, Kazenga LuaLua and Chuks Aneke.
Charlton: Isted; Thomas, Hector, Gillesphey; T.Watson, Coventry, Dobson (c), Anderson, Small; May, Kanu
Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Ramsay, Bakinson, Campbell, LuaLua, Wickham, Aneke

No REG on the bench.0

Still no Jones and find it odd no CH on the bench seeing the system we play, where is REG?0

Golfie must be in heaven looking how attacking that bench is.
I presume if something happens to one of our CB’s we will move to a diamond or some other variation with a back 4.1 -
Or you play Tennai or Ramsay as a third CB in a pinch. I know Tennai has done it for MK in the past but I wouldn’t want him there regularly.
I like the variety of options of the bench. Clearly wants to be front footed and go for all three points.0 -
Looks like Nathan Jones has worked out which defenders he wants to see again next season eh2
-
Sean Clare also back from injury just in time to score against us.
Be interesting to see him up against Small.1 -
Well Nathan Jones is not going to tell us anything.LargeAddick said:Still no Jones and find it odd no CH on the bench seeing the system we play, where is REG?
Hope we don’t have to bring the substitute’s on to get us out of trouble?0 -
Shame I'm not going or even watching the stream. Hopefully Sky will show the goals so I look forward to a glut of them after 9pm when they are all on the pitch 😉.FishCostaFortune said:Golfie must be in heaven looking how attacking that bench is.

Just passed through St Pancras. Loads of Arsenal fans passing through, I bet they're really jealous that I'm getting to see a really big match, while they're watching some Mickey Mouse cup tie against European unknowns.7

As I've just said in the preview thread, Jones must be all loved up & his new girlfriend wont let him out......especially not at night.0

Maybe NJ is planning to shift to 4 at the back at some point so he can use both wingers, TC and LL2

Says it all really. Loanees this season have been a total disaster.fenaddick said:Interesting that there’s only 1 loan player in the squad4 -
Seems by picking Dobbo that Jones is making point to the owners to stick hands in pockets and make sure he stays1

Pretty happy to see Unsteady Freddie out of the squad, would rather we see what Casey can do at this point but happier to see Wickham fit again as a trial0
