Tonight we welcome Northampton Town to The Valley for yet another must win game, getting tired of writing that, but we have now reached desperate times, and we really do need to start getting points on the board, 'cos the only way is down otherwise...
Northampton have been getting results lately, going unbeaten in their last six games and  currently lie in 10th place, oh the heady heights of the top half of league one...🙄

We've gone toe-to-toe on 35 previous occasions winning 13, the Cobblers nine and the remaining 13 meetings ending all square, the last meeting between us came at The Valley in March 2021, with Conor Washington's brace earning us a 2-1 victory, a repeat score line tonight would go down very nice..


Here we go...

Rarmani Edmonds-Green and Macaulay Gillesphey will make their full debuts tonight.

The pair come into the starting line-up in place of Lucas Ness and Terell Thomas, who move to the bench.

Edmonds-Green and Gillesphey are expected to join Lloyd Jones in a back three in front of Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

Tennai Watson and Tayo Edun are likely to operate as wing-backs either side of a midfield trio of Conor Coventry, captain George Dobson and Tyreeq Bakinson, with Freddie Ladapo partnering by Alfie May up front.

Ness and Thomas are joined on the bench by Harry Isted, Louie Watson, Lewis Fiorini Tyreece Campbell and Daniel Kanu.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Edmonds-Green, Jones, Gillesphey; T.Watson, Coventry, Dobson (c), Bakinson, Edun; May, Ladapo

Subs: Isted, Ness, Thomas, L.Watson, Fiorini, Campbell, Kanu

    On paper that’s a  strong League 1 team. 
    We wait and see.

    Right Apples, line up is good, now ffs get them playing as a unit and win the game, clean sheet would be good into the bargain...

    Not seeing much creativity in that midfield three.

    Leaburn and Aneke aside, that is pretty much full strength. And finally some meaningful changes to the defence. Hopefully it all works. Personally, at home in a must win match, I'd like to see a more attacking player in centre midfield - probably Watson (L) for one of Dobson or Bakinson, but I guess this midfield did show potential in the first half against Burton, at least. I'd also be giving Assimwe another go ahead of Watson (T), but that's just me

    If those changes don’t help solidify at the back we’re in serious trouble 
    Both Watson and Edun need to do more defensively and Jones needs to up his game otherwise it’ll be no clean sheet again tonight 😞.

    Bakinson is a box to box Midfielder, not a CDM

    Thomas the best defender on Saturday left out. 

    Two changes at the back, and little time to work on defensive organisation and shape...

    Not a fan of throwing 2 brand new defenders in but I guess it can’t get any worse.

    No excuses. Clean sheet win would be nice but any result that gives us three points would be welcome. Anything less and Apples has to walk. COYA!
