So, the return fixture V Morecambe, after our 1-4 away win March, be good to
get the double today, which could all but relegate Morecambe should results
go against them from the teams around them, but enough of them...
We could consolidate our heady 10th place today, and even eat into the seven
point gap to Portsmouth...I know, clutching at straws, but hey...🤷‍♂️

Anyway here we go,...

Aaron Henry will start today’s game against Morecambe as Dean makes one change to the side that beat MK Dons in midweek.

Scott Fraser moves to the bench and is joined by Tyreece Campbell, who missed the game with a minor niggle.

We are once again expected to line-up in a 4-3-3 with Sean Clare, Michael Hector, Terell Thomas and Steven Sessegnon starting in a back four in front of Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

Henry joins skipper George Dobson and Albie Morgan in midfield behind a front three of Jes Rak-Sakyi, Miles Leaburn and Tuesday’s match-winner Jack Payne.

Fraser and Campbell are joined on the bench by Joe Wollacott, Mandela Egbo, Todd Kane, Zach Mitchell and Daniel Kanu.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Clare, Hector, Thomas, Sessegnon; Henry, Dobson (c), Morgan; Rak-Sakyi, Leaburn, Payne

Substitutes: Wollacott, Egbo, Kane, Mitchell, Fraser, Campbell, Kanu

DDOUBLEE

Fraser benched and Bonne still not in the squad altogether, lovely

Ah, Macauley. You did bad

Fraser probably not fully fit. Henry hasn't shown the necessary drive in midfield either, let's see

Is Kanu playing or sub?

ForeverAddickted

Wow... Didnt expect to see Aaron Henry starting, hope he grabs the opportunity, as probably one of the better games for him to come in and show he has the ability.

Gonna be a tough ask for Kanu, starting and on the bench

Return of the SE7

The Kanu twins.

Imagine he's on the bench, as the article mentions that Payne starts and he's no where to be seen.

RedChaser

Kanu named in the team and on the bench 🤷‍♂️

Either that or he did a good thing, and ensured that he shouldnt be given a Contract

SaySomething

it is Payne starting, Kanu on bench

Surprised to read its Henry's first League start @ the Valley

I know he's only really had cameo appearances, and got that first start against West Brom in the FA Cup a few years ago, but feels like he's at least started once or twice at the Valley.

Welcome back into the hot seat Charlotte...should be a good pre show with Curbs and welcome back to the Valley, Dale Stephens...

Interesting choice to play Henry, and in place of Fraser. The correct choice too, as Morgan has been better than Fraser in recent weeks.

Chance for Henry to play alongside Morgan and show why he's worth his place in the team for next season

Nice to see Dale back at The Valley. Looking forward to hearing from him.

Asked this last week, but must be the only person not aware of what Bonne did to get dropped, part from being not very good..anyone able to give us a quick resume?

Cheers Ross, what an arse, last we will be seeing of him hopefully

Morgan and Henry starting make the midfield very light physically, lots of work for Dobbo….

Fraser is hardly Roy Keane

It'll be interesting to see how Stockton plays today. Baffling how poor he's been when compared to last season, his all round centre forward play at The Valley was very good.

If nothing else, he'll be playing for his future, if he wants a decent move in the summer.
