MATCH THREAD : Reading Vs Charlton Athletic : Saturday 31st August 2024 : KO 15:00
Nathan Jones confirmed that Miles Leaburn has returned to full team training following the hamstring injury he sustained last season, so some welcome news there, today we welcome Allan Campbell for his first match day experience with us, and indeed will we see the appearance of our own AC/TC this afternoon...🤦♂️
We have met 46 times prior to today, winning 16 and losing 19, with the remaining 11 ending all square, two goals from Femi Azeez helped the Royals to a 2-0 win at the Select Car Leasing Stadium back in February, today they will meet a totally different Charlton side, and should expect a very stern test, and us heading home with another 3 points in the bag...
Another showing of the yellow(ish) kit today, should be a big Addicks turnout with 3k reported, So here we go...
...Nathan Jones has opted to field an unchanged starting line-up...
New signing Allan Campbell makes his first appearance in a Charlton squad on the bench.
It means the Addicks will most likely start in their preferred 3-5-2 formation, with Alex Mitchell, Lloyd Jones and Macaulay Gillesphey starting in front of goalkeeper Will Mannion.
Thierry Small remains as left wing-back, with Kayne Ramsay operating on the other flank. Last weekend’s opening goalscorer Greg Docherty is once again joined in midfield by Conor Coventry and Luke Berry.
Up front, Tyreece Campbell and Gassan Ahadme both get their fourth league starts of the season.
Charlton: Mannion; A.Mitchell, Jones, Gillesphey; Ramsay, Berry, Coventry, Docherty, Small; Ahadme, T.Campbell
Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Edmonds-Green, Anderson, A.Campbell, Godden, Aneke, Kanu

Train just approaching Reading: Think it’s either my 7th or 8th visit to here or Elm Park. Depressingly, the scene of Jnr’s last away* all the way back in 2019. Five years without a win. What I’d give for us to see one today.

(He’s a player I like a lot and would love to see at Charlton … big lanky forward player, reckon Jones would love to mould him into something)0 -
