So, here we are, last home game of the season...
Today we welcome Shrewsbury Town to the hallowed turf that is The Valley, a team still not mathematically clear of the drop, Shrewsbury will be fighting for a point that will be make them safe.

Charlton and Shrewsbury have clashed on 32 previous occasions with the Addicks winning 11, Shrewsbury winning 11 and the remaining 10 meetings ending all square, in the away fixture we shared a goalless draw  at the Croud Meadow in September 2023, so on the look of it, we are pretty even regarding results..

Be great if we could end our home fixtures today with a nice 3-0 win, and yes maybe a clean sheet into the bargain...

Here we go...🤞

Alfie May and Tayo Edun return to the starting line-up this afternoon...they replace Tyreece Campbell and Tyreeq Bakinson, while Daniel Kanu returns to the matchday squad.

With the versatility of the squad the Addicks may line-up in a 4 diamond 2 or a 3-5-2...

If the aforementioned, Terell Thomas, Michael Hector, Macaulay Gillesphey and Thierry Small would make up a back four in front of Harry Isted.

In that formation Conor Coventry, captain George Dobson, Edun and Karoy Anderson would play in a midfield diamond behind strikers May and last weekend’s goalscorer Connor Wickham.

Campbell is named as one of Nathan Jones’ gamechangers alongside Lewis Ward, Kayne Ramsay, Rarmani Edmonds-Green, Kazenga LuaLua, Chuks Aneke and Daniel Kanu

Charlton: Isted; Thomas, Hector, Gillesphey, Small; Coventry, Dobson (c), Edun, Anderson; May, Wickham

Subs: Ward, Ramsay, Edmonds-Green, Campbell, LuaLua, Aneke, Kanu

Looking forward to the Alfie and Connor front two pairing...

    As I'm on the way there I bet it will be coconuts. You can blame me if it is.

    Happy with that but would rather Ramsay start. Again, no Jones. Bakinson bombed out the squad, no Ladapo again thank gawd.

    Really can't work out who's on the right. Small?

    Aren't small & Edun both left backs ?  Or left wingbacks if you prefer. But  not right backs?

    Not a single loan player in the entire 18 and we have 6 of them to choose from. 
    Fiorini will come good...

    No, it's saying Shrewbury's not safe yet, isn't it?

    Ah that makes sense. Thanks @killerandflash and @aliwibble.

    I must pay more attention when reading match previews.

    Edun is the interesting pick. I imagine Jones wants to have a look at him.

    I see there is some advertising from Stretton Hills. Great course Church Stretton. Tee off in England & by the 5th hole you're in Wales.

    I also expect that T Watson not fit and Ramsay not ready for 90 minutes, start with Edun and then bring Ramsay on and move Small to the left

    Interesting that Jones mentioned last week that our defensive issues were a personnel issue, but then has not really changed that personnel this week.

    Is Jones still injured?
