MATCH THREAD : Charlton Athletic Vs Exeter City : Tuesday 3rd October 2023 KO 19:45Pm
Here we go...
Boban Tedić will make his full league debut as we host Exeter City at The Valley this evening.
Chuks Aneke, Ashley Maynard-Brewer and Louie Watson also start as Michael Appleton makes four changes from the team that drew with Shrewsbury Town at the weekend.
Tyreece Campbell and Miles Leaburn moves to the bench while Terry Taylor is missing with the ankle injury that forced him off the pitch on Saturday. Harry Isted is set to miss around six weeks with a knee injury which he picked up and battled through towards the end of his EFL Team of the Week performance on Saturday
It means the Addicks may use the 4-2-3-1 formation played on Saturday with Tennai Watson, Michael Hector, Lloyd Jones and Terell Thomas in a back four in front of Maynard-Brewer.
In that formation Louie Watson would join skipper George Dobson in central midfield behind Tedić, Alfie May and Corey Blackett-Taylor, who will all support central forward Chuks Aneke.
Tyreece Campbell and Leaburn are joined on the bench by Henry Molyneux, Nathan Asiimwe, Lucas Ness, Scott Fraser and Chem Campbell.
Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; T Watson, Hector, Jones, Thomas; L Watson, Dobson (C); Tedić, May, Blackett-Taylor; Aneke
Subs: Molyneux, Asiimwe, Ness, Fraser, C Campbell, T Campbell, Leaburn
Good to see Tedic start a game, and of course be a change to see how Chuks faces up to a start, but a good line up

Starting Aneke is brave.3

I wonder if Harry should have been subbed when injured?3

Chances of Chuks making it to the second half?1

WTF is that formation with Tedic | May | Aneke | CBT all starting?

Oh dear, even our goalkeepers are suffering lengthy injuries now.

This is like when a child suggests a starting XI with all the strikers in it. Although said child would probably include Leaburn as well! Maybe he'll come on for a Watson, lol. Anyway, going for the throat at least!10

Wing backs with Aneke as the CAM? Think he used to play there, not sure if he can now.ForeverAddickted said:WTF is that formation with Tedic | May | Aneke | CBT all starting?1 -
At least Leaburn isn't on the wing... No wait, thats not what we meant!!Leuth said:This is like when a child suggests a starting XI with all the strikers in it.

I'm guessing 4-2-3-1
AMB
T.Watson Hector Jones Thomas
..........Dobbo......L.Watson
Tedic........Aneke........CBT
..................May
It could also be a 3-4-1-2 or a 4-4-2. I do like that it's attacking, and I think Leaburn needed a breather, but Chuks from the start is always a risk.
He did play as a 10 for MK Dons and I believe Arsenal as a yoot, and he played there some in the Championship for us. I'm just not sure I trust him to do that for 60 minutes at this stage of his career.1 -
Make or break for Chuks? Perhaps I shouldn’t use the word ‘break’ though.

Also, Aneke is traditionally a number 10, would make much more sense for him to be playing behind Tedic/May. Who plays on the opposite wing to CBT is anyone's guess but I suspect T Watson is going to do a lot of the attacking down that side - our full backs will be very lopsided2

Don't think McApples is aware of the issues starting Chuks 🙄. But bold line-up, esp the forward players. Can't see how all 3 of May, Tedic & Chuks can play "up front". None are wide players so I'm a bit baffled.SouthWest_Addicks said:Starting Aneke is brave.
Anyway, cant be there tonight so have bought the stream. Golfie Jnr reminded me after I had paid my tenner that I've never seen us win at home when doing so.

Tedic, May, CBT and Chucks all starting is a bit to defensive for my liking 😂 I’m warming to this manager nobody can accuse him of playing on the back foot1
-
Exeter: Sinisalo, Kite, Aimson (c), Fitzwater, Hartridge, Jules, Carroll, Cole, Harper, Mitchell, Scott
Subs: Woods, Sweeney, Richards, Wildschut, Taylor, Aitchison, Cox1 -
I thinks it’s a 3-4-1-2 with CBT left wingback aneke cam and May and tedic up top2

Presumably this will be the last we see of him for a few months.SouthWest_Addicks said:Starting Aneke is brave.
Should have stuck to 20 mins here and there.3 - Sponsored links:

Our bench is stacked, is a good thing1
-
I'm guessing May will drop to midfield like he did against Wycombe. Aneke will be left to skulk around up front.
Very confusing lineup.0 -
Love how even our gk can pick up an injury.
We are cursed.4 -
3-5-2 I hope
Playing League one's top goalscorer for the last two seasons out wide, like he ended Saturday would be crazy.....0 -
May in midfield??? Scores 40 odd goals over 2 seasons & he now drops into midfield.RedPanda said:I'm guessing May will drop to midfield like he did against Wycombe. Aneke will be left to skulk around up front.

Madness.2 -
We're either scoring 0 or 5 tonight tbh2

Molyneux on the bench. Let's hope he isn't thrown to the wolves tonight.7

Nah we hadn't I thought the same, checked the BBC live text... Isted made that save from the lop on 74minskillerandflash said:

We didnt bring Fraser on for another seven minutes.
Had Isted been sent off for the last man incident, then yeah we'd have been fucked, as that was after the last subs had been made - On the other hand, can understand why he got caught on the ball if he potentially wasn't moving well for that moment, but then that was an even better save when Shrewsbury almost scored with the last kick of the game.1 -
Happy to see ashley back, harsh to have lost his place3
