Wycombe Wanderers vs Charlton Athletic
Saturday 18th September 2021 ... 3pm Kick-Off
Referee: Peter Wright
Introduction
Well they never said it was going to be uneventful as a Charlton fan did they, we walk away from some games like the one against Cheltenham cursing the parents, friends, impulse that saw us taking in our first encounter however many years ago - Already it feels a case of deja vu from last winter where we're making jobs harder for ourselves by being forced to correct a 2-0 scoreline before we even get going, a fact that has happened in half our games so far this term... This Saturday we travel to Buckinghamshire for what could well be another painful afternoon.
The Opposition
Name: Wycombe Wanderers (9th) | Manager: Gareth Ainsworth
Ground: Adams Park
Previous Meeting: Wycombe Wanderers 0-1 Charlton Athletic
The pendulum really did swing from one direction to the other when our fixture list was announced back in June... Last Saturday we faced a promoted side from League Two, this Saturday we face a team who are perhaps unlucky to be back in League One after a year in the Championship.
After all no one expected Wycombe to challenge for promotion in 2019/20 yet alone achieve glory through the Play-Offs (regardless if it was deserved given how the table was decided)... So when the Chairboys got into the Championship it was naturally predicted that they'd be the whipping boys and wouldnt stand a chance of survival. Unfortunately, like the Addicks they would be relegated but it wouldnt be until the final day of the season and would be courtesy of a solitary point.
Its continued credit to the good work that Ainsworth has achieved in Buckinghamshire and is a surprise that he's not moved on to better and bigger things (no discredit to Wycombe) - Life back at this level hasnt been a struggle either; Wycombe have coped with a return to this level and have just one defeat all season, coming at high flying Sunderland.
On the player front and a lot of eyes will no doubt be on the experienced Sam Vokes, a similar player to Jayden Stockley, he'll certainly let our shakey defence know that he's around this Saturday, whilst Nigel Adkins will be well used to Gareth McCleary who he worked with at Reading and already has two assists to his name this term, despite being 34 now.
Charlton Team News
2pm on Saturday afternoon will no doubt raise the usual question marks when the squad is announcement and with just one win this season it'll be in good reason - Unfortunately the squad doesnt pick itself at present, and apart from Craig MacGillivray (who continues to show fight for us both on the pitch and on Social Media) you could argue that the other ten players are all at risk of being replaced.
In a realistic scenario though thats unlikely to be the case and you'd expect the likes of Akin Famewo and Dialling Jaiyesimi to be safe, along with captain: Jayden Stockley - As for the rest who have been starting of late, well am sure they'll get used to time out of the team if they continue to play and continue to put in performances like what we've been "enjoying".
Prediction
To at least try and put a positive spin on things, well Wycombe have never managed to record points against the Addicks in a League encounter, let alone win against us - So we can only hope that come 5pm we continue to have the same record against them that Cheltenham appear to have against us... Thats provided we dont witness a similar display from THAT League Cup game all those years ago.

I do admire the previews mate. If I were doing it each week by now it’d go something like “Wycombe v charlton, whatever”.
I’ve no idea how this will go down but we need something positive that’s for sure. I genuinely don’t wanna see Albie Morgan near the team. But I’ve no idea who is available and who isn’t, Arter for example? Or Clare, he wasn’t on the bench last game, left back MUST be adjusted even if he’s 80% fit Souare.MacG

1-1 in hope more than judgement.12 -
Dreading games at the moment. 2-1 Wycombe after we take an early lead.2
-
Expecting plenty of changes from last Saturday with a minimum of at least 3. Must change Gunter at LB, one of the CM midfield and Washington coming back in. Hoping Leko starts but might keep him as an impact sub.

Charlton 2-1 win. Got to start winning some matches.1 -
Agree with the line-up except I'd swap DJ for Leko. Not massively keen on Morgan starting but don't see what choice we have.4
-
Yeah I didnt think of that one... My initial thought was having Washington up front with Stockley and Kirk out wide, but then realised that I wanted to factor in Lee as well as dont think he did enough to be dropped.Smithy said:Agree with the line-up except I'd swap DJ for Leko.

I'm expecting a loss, but I'm usually wrong.0

We are worse than useless at the moment.
Heavy defeat I'm afraid.0 -
Having watched our last few games I'm afraid I can't see beyond a loss.
Most of my lot are going to this game but I just cannot motivate myself at the moment.
Hopefully NA can turn things around but I'm not sure he can.1 -
I have no expectations until I see the midfield improve and the team play with more energy and confidence on the ball.
Tempting to bet on Wycombe and our next few opponents. It’s either free money or what is needed to force an improvement and good result.1 -
One step closer to a sacking at the end of the month, unless we get 3 points in one match out of the next four.
Sadly, I don't think we can even achieve that. Definite defeat for this one.
Come the end of the month I will be able to back up my opinions by actually attending the last two matches.0 - Sponsored links:

Would be very disappointed if new players were still deemed not fit enough to start.
Month into the season now, we should have most of our starting players in a position to play 90 minutes.3 -

All a bit flat isn't it!0

if this doesn't get your juices flowing then what will

Surely there will be a positive reaction to last week's 'performance ', improved display but still only a draw,1-1.0
-
I’m expecting Adkins to make a few changes based on last week’s showing and to send a message. I’d be disappointed if Gunter, Morgan, Watson, Kirk & DJ all start based on how poor they all were against Cheltenham.
Would like to seeMacGillvary
Matthews Lavelle Famewo Souare
Blackett-Taylor Arter Lee Leko
Stockley Washington
if that isn’t too attack minded and leaves us short defensively in midfield. If that’s the case then hopefully Dobson or Clare can be chosen ahead of Watson. Definitely don’t think any of the 5 I mentioned above deserve a space in the starting line up1 -
Frankly I’m not confident at all.0
-
I'll take a point. 2-20
-
I like your side, although I would probably stick with Kirk for Washington to see if he can build a partnership with Souare down the left.BR7_addick said:I do admire the previews mate. If I were doing it each week by now it’d go something like “Wycombe v charlton, whatever”.

I want to see us taking the game to them; I want to see some invention and creativity.
I don't want to see pedestrian build-up play, lack of belief, and frightened hoofball.
I have zero confidence.1 -
Soaure did 10 minutes. Not exactly 90.ForeverAddickted said:

I'll let Leko off as the 45 showed he's ready to play.0 - Sponsored links:

A regeneration is necessary, will come in the guise of personnel change, rather than formation I reckon, but it is enough to secure a point away from home for the first time this season. 1-1 Stockley back to scoring ways.1
-
Back to basics, 4-4-2 for me. With Lee nominally on the wing but 'tucked in' making midfield more solid. Curbs used Graeme Stuart in this roll.
Is Arter fit to start? I doubt it. Can Souare start? Hopefully Leco can start. I prefer Gunter RB over Matthews.
Big Mac
Gunter. Lavelle. Famewo. Souare
Leco. Arter/Watson. Dobson/Clare Lee

Think I got last week's starting 11 spot on, and we know how that went!4 -
Inniss and Schwartz both out injured for two months

Schwartz injured again? Doing what?9

The pressure of this game .. Wycombe will start fav but like to see us go 3412 and try to take the game to them …0

Nigel presser sounds like Arter is in contention. I think we may of seen the last of Watson/Morgan combo.

This time last week Nigel was telling us how everything had gone up a notch on the training ground and that turned out excellentlyRedChaser said:3 -
Laughable isn't it, the bloke is a liability, the sooner he is off the wage bill the better.SELR_addicks said:Schwartz injured again? Doing what?1 -
Well I’m blowed he’s even had a look at the fixture list and knows what games are coming up and recommending we listen to Gobinson! Can’t be doing with any more blah, blah, blah just start winning games 😏.MattF said:
