Cheltenham Town vs Charlton Athletic
Sunday 7th May 2023 - 12noon Kick-Off
Referee: Tom Nield
Introduction
Its time to sign off for another season... Forty Five games played... One to go, and very little progress made
Those looking for a straw to cling to will be delighted to know that we've at least moved forward in the League table, its not been the fight for the top six but progress has been made, albeit at the speed of the Kings Coronation - More goals have been scored this season, however we've equally conceded more... If we want to truly impose ourselves on the top six next term then we must cut out the latter and improve even further on the former. We visit Cheltenham Town this coming Sunday lunchtime... Another season confined to the History books, and gone with a whimper.
The Opposition
Name: Cheltenham Town (15th) | Manager: Wade Elliott
Ground: Whaddon Road
Previous League Result: Wycombe 0-3 Cheltenham
Its been an impressive second season for the Robins... A sluggish start to this campaign was always understandable given the need to replace their Manager. Yet our opponents have once again gone about their business in solid fashion, and will be rather pleased to see fellow Gloucestershire rivals: Forest Green Rovers making an instant return to League Two.
The Addicks travel to Cheltenham this Saturday, with the hosts in good form, they've lost just twice in their last twelve, moving from the relegation battle into a comfortable mid-table slot. Meaning that this game is pretty meaningless all round for both sides going into tomorrows game - The visitors will certainly be looking to record a first victory over Cheltenham, having never been rewarded with all three points, in three League attempts - Understandably, we'll need to watch out for Alfie May, the Gravesend born Striker started this campaign slowly (just the one goal in his first seven games), but will looking to add to his 21-goals before departing the club in the summer.
How Cheltenham do without their talisman next season, that'll be their biggest challenge.
Charlton Team News
Fans were rocked by the shocking news to come from Sparrows Lane in many a year the other day - We learnt that key players to our season would be left out of the trip to Cheltenham this Sunday, how we cope without the services of Macauley Bonne, Matt Penney and Gavin Kilkenny is anyone's guess... But the three January signings have all had their time in SE7 ended early.
Elsewhere and Dean Holden has hinted that Ryan Inniss will return to the team this Saturday (after serving his latest suspension), which'll add to the possibility of the Centre-Back being here next season - George Dobson on the other hand could well be rested for this last fixture, ensuring that he avoids any suspension next season.

God I hope performances on the pitch make writing these Previews a bit easier next season!!
I'm not holding much hope.

Thanks as always for all the previews. Enjoy the summer break 👏👏14

Expecting another kick in the bollocks from this inconsistant, bottle job of a football team to rally us into a summer of endless takeover bullshit.
2-1 to the Chelts(?)2 -
Thanks FA for the previews.
Cheltenham without May will be significantly weaker next season, he'll be really hard to replace.1 -
Yeah, great previews every week. Look forward to these so thanks. Always want us to win but won't care if we lose really. Just be glad to end the season. Will it be better next season? Please let it be.2
-
As I said on another thread, we need a draw to make sure of 10th. Shrews and Lincoln are two points behind with worse goal average, and they play each other2
-
Hats off to all the CL match preview team for their sterling work throughout the season. I’ll be watching my 46th league game of the season - dunno if I deserve a like or lol, perhaps a sympathetic vote if there was such a category!12
-
Sadly, I am not that bothered about this. No Dobson, no passion, no victory. 3 - 0 defeat predicted. Roll on next season! Have a good Summer everyone.

Very few positives this season. At least Rak Sakyi has been good and at least he has played a full season. If Leaburn leaves he will have played less games? Watch the future stars of tomorrow at the Valley before they leave. This looks to be coming true. Cheltenham will win again and I am sure it will be one last poor performance to go with it. Another season in League 1, so disappointing. 2-0 Cheltenham.0

Play the kids as much as possible
Kanu, leaburn, Rylah, Campbell, Mitchell & Henry. Let’s see what they have to offer2 - Sponsored links:

Without Dobson that midfield suddenly looks very weak.3

Expect to lose without Dobbo, although I wouldn't play him & risk a suspension.MintoHumbugs said:Without Dobson that midfield suddenly looks very weak.0 -
Whoops... Just realised I put the wrong KO time
Its at 12noon, rather than at 12:30pm0 -
Just tuned in for a quick glance at the post match thread only to realise the futile torture of this season is still not over.4

We are going to end the season with a good win going for 3-1 to the mighty CAFC
Come On You Reds

Thanks for the excellent previews, FA - if only the team could match your level of consistency and fortitude.
If Dobbo is omitted, I fear we'll have a preview of what we'd have been in for had he picked up a significant injury earlier in the season. All areas of the team - with the exception of goalkeeping - need strengthening, not the least of which is midfield, where George has carried the team for most of the season. Maybe a fit McGrandles can contribute next season but neither Morgan or Fraser are good or consistent enough to make us serious challengers.

Not sure why we are playing Sess or JRS when we could be giving Mitchell and Kanu league time.0
-
The most recent and sick example of the rot that has infested our club is Alfie May. Ex Vickers Crayford Dartford (VCD) and Erith and Belvedere player. 5th highest scorer in our league for a team lower than ours. Taken from under our nose . Scouts should be sacked.
I said in the summer if we had any ambition we would buy Cole Stockton (scored 1st goal against us recently) and Alfie May. We would be in the play offs if we bought both.
However Saangaard and his lickspittles thought better.
I am right, those imbeciles are wrong. Proven. Fact
Put money on am.
May to score first. Easy money 💰 hi

5.15 am.
Time to get up and walk the dog.
Then a quick shower before setting of for Cheltenham.
At 68 years of age I must be mad.
Thanks for all the match previews FA
Much appreciated15 -
It's a 4am kick off local time. I've got a nasty cold, so might find myself waking up in the night again then stupidly staying awake to watch.
If I don't make it, please make some Liam Sercombe-cision jokes for me.
It's not been the season we'd hoped for. But watching Jez and Dobbo play has been a real treat. I'm so glad JRS won POTY. He got my vote but I thought being Palace would cost him a reward he deserves. The boy is class. He's in the Cullen and Bielik tier for me, he's just playing in a far, far worse side unfortunately.
At the next level for me have been Ness, Sess, Miles and the 'keepers. And then Fraser, when used properly and on his game, is one of the better midfielders in the league. Same with CBT really, and I've enjoyed watching Campbell grow a lot more than I thought he would.
I've not been around much in recent weeks due to life stuff (a lot of it good, my partner and I bought a house together), but coming on here during match days is always a joy. Usually. Sometimes. Whatever.
Here's to next season being the one. We live in eternal hope. And the hope, as they say, is what kills you.7 - Sponsored links:

Full respect to those up so early on a Sunday to travel to this5

2-0 win for us today I’ll be there2
-
Going to this . Think Aaron Henry should be given another start. If Morgan starts we lose. Hoping for some real effort and enthusiasm from the team. Let’s finish with a flourish.2
-
With the midfield exposed in the absence of Dobbo I suspect we’ll struggle.Would settle for a draw.0

Cheltenham v Charlton
Two teams ........ two words ....... who cares.0 -
Well done @ForeverAddickted on the consistent performances this season, even picking up my slack!
As much as Henry would be the obvious choice to play instead of Dobson, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mitchell start in the defensive midfield role. It allows us to drop to a 5 if we really need to, and he has the ability to play in that midfield role. In fact, his stature (how he plays and moves) is very similar to Dobson and could be just what we need in his absence.
I think with Clare out, Egbo comes in, it’s only right when he is a right back and is our player.
With this in mind, I would like to see…Maynard-Brewer
Egbo - Inniss - Hector - Sessegnon
Mitchell
Morgan - Fraser
Rak-Sakyi - Leaburn - Campbell
Wollacott, Kane, Thomas, Henry, Payne, Rylah, Kanu5 -
Yes, I think that would be what I might go for too. Maybe Thomas instead of Inniss. Wollacott might deserve a game for showing he is a team player too.Sage said:Well done @ForeverAddickted on the consistent performances this season, even picking up my slack!

Cheers @Sage... thanks for your support with the midweek games.
It'll be interesting to see who the Seventh sub will be, we've both selected Rylah, yet my reasoning was down to his recent Contract.
There will be others more Senior in the U21s equally hoping for the spot1 -
5 or 6 of that 11 won’t be here next season . Back to the drawing board.MuttleyCAFC said:

Think Inniss is more likely to get a new contract than Thomas and although I agree about Wollacott, it happens a lot at last game of season, Holden will be conscious of Maynard-Brewer’s confidence and hoping he finishes with a clean sheet.MuttleyCAFC said:
