MATCH THREAD : Charlton Athletic Vs Northampton Town : Tuesday 23rd January 2024 : KO 19:45

The starting line up is better. But, I can’t understand why Dobbo is played further forward and Conner further back. That should be reversed. We’ll see though but maybe another Appleism. Square pegs in round holes and all that. I hope it works.

This has to be the lowest league attendance in  decades. Lucky if there are 7000 here.

Simple, pull on that red shirt and play with passion.

😀👍 tonight you will enjoy.

How empty is it looking? 

Leuth

Bottom line is, this is possibly the strongest starting XI we've fielded in about 4 seasons. We'd best fucking show it

The empty Valley sends a very clear message to the ownership tonight: the club is still going backwards!

Dobbo brought his kiddie out with him again- why?

Bakinson is a box to box Midfielder, not a CDM

Fans voted with their feet. Appleton football has hammered the attendances

Pleased to see Minto is back - not a knock on Charlotte who is great too.

We need a decent left back

let's hope this obsession with 'three at the back' works for a change

I’m sat behind the home dugout. Appleton has a huge smile on his face, chewing away…hands in pockets.

Anyone got a picture of the attendance?

Strong team, our strongest we can field.

2-0 win.


Edit: surely?!? 😅

Got a ticket, but watching from home. First time in my life I just couldn't be bothered.

Definitely some boos as Michael Appleton comes out of the tunnel.

Was expecting a low gate, but bloody hell that is sparse. Doubt there are 5000 in the ground

Toxic.

Gillesphy did well tracking back into our half - He'd got forward slightly to cover Edun, and wasnt a slouch following their runner

First shot Northampton. Rocketed over.
