MATCH THREAD : Charlton Athletic V Stevenage : Saturday 8th February 2025 KO 12:30
Stevenage (Borough) currently sit four places and four points below us in the table having played a game less, so on paper a draw some would say, not me, I feel we could cement our place in the top six come 2.30 this afternoon with another three points added to the tally...even if it is on tele...
Charlton and Stevenage haven't met on too many occasions, with only seven previous encounters, with the Addicks winning three, Stevenage two and the remaining two meetings resulting in draws, they ran out 1-0 victors at the Lamex Stadium in the reverse fixture in September 2024, so we owe them one right...
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Nathan Jones confirmed he has a fully fit squad to choose from - including deadline day arrivals Alex Gilbert and Tom McIntyre, which must be a first for some time...Here we go everybody...
Team news...
New signings Alex Gilbert and Tom McIntyre are both included in the squad for this afternoon’s clash with Stevenage
Nathan Jones has named an unchanged starting XI from the side that beat Bristol Rovers at The Valley at the end of January and drew with Blackpool last weekend.
It means Kayne Ramsay, Lloyd Jones and Macaulay Gillesphey once again make up the back three in front of Ashley Maynard-Brewer.
Thierry Small and Josh Edwards will operate as wing-backs with Conor Coventry, Luke Berry and skipper Greg Docherty making up a midfield trio behind the in-form Matty Godden, who has netted in each of his last two games, and Tyreece Campbell.
McIntyre replaces Rarmani Edmonds-Green, who joined Leyton Orient on deadline day, on the bench, while Gilbert comes in for Karoy Anderson, who is unavailable for selection due to personal reasons.
Charlton's two deadline day arrivals are joined on the bench by Will Mannion, Alex Mitchell, Miles Leaburn, Chuks Aneke and Daniel Kanu.
Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Ramsay, Jones, Gillesphey; Small, Coventry, Berry, Docherty (c), Edwards; Godden, T.Campbell
Subs: Mannion, A.Mitchell, McIntyre, Gilbert, Leaburn, Aneke, Kanu

Not dropped. Unavailable for personal reasons according to OS.ForeverAddickted said:Surprised that Anderson has been completely dropped this week1 -
Looks like Mendez has just jinxed a 0-0 result!!
Only Leyton Orient (21) have scored more goals than Charlton (18) in their last 10 League One outings#cafc

5-4 Charlton after being 0-4 down at HT, just to lift all the doom & gloom about the game on here .4

We beat Wycombe and Leyton Orient at 12:30 KO's this season, we also drew 0-0 at Lincoln in our one other game with that KO time, so we've not actually lost at all this season when starting early.5 -
Any apps or links I can watch this on ?0

Did we lose to these the last time they played at The Valley?

Anderson posted on social media recently that a relative in Jamaica had passed away, would imagine he’s flown out there. All the best to him and his family13

Bench is horribly unbalanced. 2 centre backs, 3 strikers and a midfielder. Hi-lights just how much we needed that extra wide man through the door.2

Guaranteed to be 2-0 up by then now 😀golfaddick said:

Seems weird reading team news when you’ve only just got out of bed.0

Jones stumbled on the Small/ Campbell system but basically doesn’t value width.Clem_Snide said:Bench is horribly unbalanced. 2 centre backs, 3 strikers and a midfielder. Hi-lights just how much we needed that extra wide man through the door.0 -
