MATCH THREAD ; Shrewsbury Town Vs Charlton Athletic : Saturday 30th September 2023 : KO 3:00pm.
What a great chance to get back to back wins, after Apples first victory since taking the reigns with the 3-1 over Wycombe Wanderers last weekend, so here we go...
Tennai Watson makes his full debut as Michael Appleton makes two changes for today...
The right back impressed after coming on as a substitute in last weekend's game against Wycombe Wanderers, including setting up Slobodan Tedić's goal to put the Addicks 2-1 up.
Terry Taylor returns to the starting line-up and there is space on the bench for Nathan Asiimwe and Scott Fraser, both back after spells on the sidelines with injuries.
It is the first time Fraser has been in the squad since the Addicks opening-day win against Leyton Orient.
With the Addicks expected to line-up in a 4-3-3 formation Tennai Watson will join Michael Hector, Lloyd Jones and Terell Thomas in a back four in front of Harry Isted.
Taylor, skipper George Dobson and Tyreece Campbell will operate as a midfield three behind the attacking trio of Miles Leaburn, Alfie May and Corey Blackett-Taylor.
Asiimwe and Fraser are joined on the bench by Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Lucas Ness, Louie Watson, Chuks Aneke and Tedić.
Charlton: Isted; T Watson, Hector, Jones, Thomas; Taylor, Dobson (c), T Campbell; Leaburn, May, Blackett-Taylor
Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Asiimwe, Ness, L Watson, Fraser, Aneke, Tedić

Little surprised to see Taylor in ahead of Watson
Good to see Watson start though.
No Campbell either... But at least Campbell keeps his place.38 -

Subs: Burgoyne, Anderson, Benning, Sobowale, Bennett, Bowman, Phillips0 -
Squad is looking strong now. Big Scott Fraser fan so hoping he will get some minutes today.6
-
Strongest bench for a long time1
-
Decent line up. I am also a bit surprised Taylor gets the nod over Watson. Chem injured? Options on the bench and good competition for places now. COYRs!!1
-
Surprised there’s no place for Chem. Always good to see Marko Marosi though, he’s probably provided more important goals for Charlton over the years than our whole squad combined2
-
Yeah, surprised to see Chem Campbell drop out of the 18.`
Carrying a niggle, perhaps? But a pretty strong bench.
Pleased to see we've an experienced RB starting, after his very decent late cameo last week.

Little, but happily surprised to see Asiimwe over Abankwah.
Makes sense having a CB and a Full-Back on the bench. But its rare to see loan players failing to making the bench at the very least, so that we stay in favour with parent clubs.
Be nice if we're not overly bothered by that this year.0 -
Bet Deano is sitting at home just wishing he had that line up to choose from when he was here..🙄8

That’s football. We shouldn’t have lost six in a row the way we did with the players he did have available.eastterrace6168 said:Bet Deano is sitting at home just wishing he had that line up to choose from when he was here..🙄1 -
Why is the love-child of Alfie May and Stuart Broad the poster-child for Shrewsbury?2

3 gone from the squad of last week abankwah Anderson and ched Campbell replaced with asimwe taylor and fraser
like for like you have to say that makes us stronger today0 -
So to recap - Tom Flanagan has played Charlton nine times. Been sent off twice, defected in our last minute winner at Wembley and got head butted by Jayden Stockley at the Stadium of Light. And he's won none of those nine.

Line up looks good. Bit worried about Mata up front for them though.2

Looks like there is genuine competition for places now even to the point of the bench (rather than just filling out with what's available) which can only be a good thing - those players being left out of the 18 can put the work in in training and try to force themselves back in and those that have been picked now know they won't be getting a free ride on the pitch and will have to put the graft in to keep their place rather than still making the bench out of necesssity like they perhaps would have before. That's a win win for MA.2

I know I don't follow football as closely as I used to but I don't think I've heard of any of the Shrewsbury team.
Do they have any stand-out players?
Edit: Except Flanagan now thanks to FA!0 -
I wonder if Appleton is a manager that prefers to play the club's players rather than loanees. Not one in today's starting XI and only two of the five on the bench.2

Edun still injured?0

I can't keep up with all the Watson's & Campbell's. It like an episode of Soap.
Playing a team who've only scored 4 goals all season you'd hope we'd be able to win this one.
I'll have my eyes on the Ryder Cup so will only be flicking over to Soccer Saturday every so often. Hoping when I do the result will mirror Europe's.2 -
Out for a few weeks apparently, according to Appleton last week19addickted96 said:Edun still injured?0 -
Udoh is their main man up front - He got the winner with that 94th minute goal a few years ago... 6ft, bit of an Aneke type forward man.Fortune 82nd Minute said:I know I don't follow football as closely as I used to but I don't think I've heard of any of the Shrewsbury team.

Scored once this season, got 12-League goals last1 -
Good line up.0

Is it 4 or 5 players that have featured a lot already this season who are fit and haven't even made the bench?Manic_mania said:Looks like there is genuine competition for places now even to the point of the bench (rather than just filling out with what's available) which can only be a good thing - those players being left out of the 18 can put the work in in training and try to force themselves back in and those that have been picked now know they won't be getting a free ride on the pitch and will have to put the graft in to keep their place rather than still making the bench out of necesssity like they perhaps would have before.

Only 3 missing through injury, as far as we know, as well.0 -
I'd prefer to think of it as us using loans how they should be - to compliment the team and fill in gaps rather than being the undroppable key man we hang all our hopes on like we have done in the pastBangkokaddick said:I wonder if Appleton is a manager that prefers to play the club's players rather than loanees.
