We head off to Blackpool this afternoon in another game where a win would be rather useful to say the least, Curtis Fleming and Jason Pearce will take interim charge following the departure of Michael Appleton.

Blackpool are another team, rather like Northampton sitting in a very good position to launch an attack on the top six, so once again a difficult encounter to say the least, ably assisted by ex Addick, one Albie Morgan, a player I always felt we were far too hasty in letting go, and no doubt could possibly help put another dent in our season today, have a day off Albie eh...

We have locked horns on 67 previous occasions with us winning 19, the Seasiders 31 and the remaining 17 meetings resulting in draws, in the reverse fixture at The Valley, Charlton fought back from two goals down to claim a 2-2 draw thanks to late goals from Alfie May and Corey Blackett-Taylor.

We could finish today sitting one place above the drop zone with yet another reverse, or the heady heights of 14th with a much needed victory...🤷‍♂️

Here we go...


Curtis Fleming has made three changes for his first game as Interim Head Coach at Bloomfield Road this afternoon.

The Addicks travel to Blackpool with Lucas Ness, Terell Thomas and Nathan Asiimwe returning to the starting lineup.

The trio replace the suspended Tayo Edun, the injured (concussion) Conor Coventry and Lloyd Jones who moves to the bench.

If the Addicks start in the 3-5-2 used in recent weeks then Ness, Thomas and Gillesphey will start in a back three in front of Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

Asiimwe and Tennai Watson will operate as wing backs with Rarmani Edmonds-Green expected to move into midfield to partner skipper George Dobson and Tyreeq Bakinson.

Alfie May and Freddie Ladapo again start up front.

Jones is joined on the bench by Harry Isted, Karoy Anderson, Louie Watson, Lewis Fiorini, Tyreece Campbell and Daniel Kanu.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Ness, Thomas, Gillesphey; Asiimwe, Edmonds-Green, Dobson (c), Bakinson, T.Watson; May, Ladapo

Subs: Isted, Jones, Anderson, L.Watson, Fiorini, Campbell, Kanu

    That’s a real worried by relegation, try and nick some points, line up. 
  • aliwibblealiwibble
    Asiimwe LWB and REG in midfield? Interesting...

    We need a performance from all of them, and we need AMB to have a blinder.
  • JamesSeedJamesSeed
    Well, it can’t be any worse than what’s gone before, whatever the formation. Up the Addicks!

    Exactly as I predicted. Pack the team with defenders and go for the 0-0. Its what Curbs would have done in the circs.

    That's the spirit...🤷‍♂️
    At least get to half time before writing them off

    What’s the point of having two great strikers if you’re going to completely isolate them. There’s no creativity going forward in that team apart from potentially Asiimwe going down the wing

    Coventry sent to Coventry .... injured, inured or simply dropped?

    You need some attacking threat in midfield or wing back though, otherwise we’ll struggle to get out our own half. Our defence won’t hold out if we’re constantly under pressure.

    You’d think Louie Watson would get a start, the only one with any oomph going forward.

    I don’t know why, but that line up says @Leuth to me

    Bakinson set up Kanu’s chance when he hit the bar. He offers some creativity at least.

    Imagine travelling all that way to see that line up.

    Very surprised there weren't more changes than that considering 2 of them were forced changes.

    So that you can lump balls into the channels for them to run into against three mobile CBs

    Thanks, Scoham!

    Feels like Blackpool have at least a one goal head start with Morgan and Rhodes playing

    Real clean sheet energy that line-up. Not a lot of other options though really. Does make you wonder a bit about Louie Watson if Fleming doesn't fancy him in there either. Maybe he just doesn't want to change the strategy that they've been working on with him and Appleton and it calls for two holders behind a box to box midfielder, he might view that as safer than changing it up completely. Mostly I'm annoyed that Isted hasn't come back in and that as a result of REG playing in midfield when we drop Jones it's for Ness.
