Welcome back one and all, we go again on the merry go round of a new season, and today we
entertain Leyton Orient...lets hope for a positive start to an even more positive season...so here we go..

We are expected to line-up in a 3-5-2 with Lloyd Jones joining Ness and Thomas in a back three in front of Maynard-Brewer.

Nathan Asiimwe and Corey Blackett-Taylor are expected to operate as wing-backs with skipper George Dobson, Scott Fraser and Anderson in midfield behind a front two of May and Campbell.

The game comes too soon for Michael Hector, Panutche Camara, Tayo Edun and Terry Taylor, with the first three fit enough for the bench. They are joined by Harry Isted, Conor McGrandles, Jack Payne and Charlie Kirk.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Jones, Ness, Thomas; Asiimwe, Dobson (c), Anderson, Fraser; Blackett-Taylor; May, Campbell

Substitutes: Isted, Hector, Edun, Camará, McGrandles, Payne, Kirk

Good to see Edun at least making it to the bench...

    Exciting lineup. That said, our aerial threat from open play is essentially provided by Fraser and Anderson, so I'm expecting the ball on the deck and low crosses

    (I suppose when the ball is wide left Asiimwe will try to get in the box for a header too)

    Didn't expect that!

    A very pacy line up though. Will be interesting to see how Orient can deal with that.

    Or through balls, killer passes and over the top get on your bike balls, if Orient defend with a high line.

    That is a lot of unfit and semi fit players to start a season with!!

    Really didnt expect to see Anderson start, not with Camara coming in.

    I'm not complaining though, Karoy fully deserves this opportunity today.

    ? 4-3-3 with Thomas as left back?

    Not sure what my thoughts are on that team?

    I guess it’s good that the youngsters who have performed well in preseason are being given a go or is that more to do with a lack of fitness to the more senior players?

    Also, is this, lack of a striker aside, our strongest bench in a good long while or what

    Attacking front line but no striker on the bench. 

    Only 2 new signings start.

    I believe I read Orient are fairly possession based in their style.

    Our more pacy direct style could be really threatening on the counter.

    Hector had a stinker against Aberdeen but it does worry me not seeing him start.

    Anderson... Yes... Asiimwe... No

    Egbo just hasn't been preferred in Pre-Season so reckon Nathan is there on merit

    Though 2 new signings on the bench.
    We may see either or both at some point.

    No striker on the bench, not even Kanu ...... but rest assured, Golfie ...... Kirker the Shirker is there, aching to get on :)

    I think Karoy might get an education as to what league three football is all about today. He’ll attract a lot of physical attention from Pratley.

    Because other teams are signing players for today's matches ....... and we're signing players who still need a proper pre-season (!)

    I think KANU could be going out on loan, not ITK

    That would be good but only if we also get someone else in first.
