Our history against the Trotters ain't too much to write home about, but we've won 29, lost 47 and the remaining 21 games have ended all square, our most recent encounter was a topsy-turvy affair in Greater Manchester in February, where we claimed a 3-3 draw in Nathan Jones’ third game in charge...
So here we go...
Thierry Small will make his first league start of the season in place of the injured Josh Edwards in this afternoon's game against Bolton Wanderers.
We are expected to once again start in a back three with Alex Mitchell, Lloyd Jones and Macaulay Gillesphey playing in front of goalkeeper Will Mannion.
Kayne Ramsay and Small will operate as wing backs, with Greg Docherty, Conor Coventry and last weekend’s match-winner Luke Berry playing in a midfield three behind a front two of Tyreece Campbell and Gassan Ahadme.
Charlton: Mannion; A Mitchell, Jones, Gillesphey; Ramsay, Berry, Coventry, Docherty, Small; Ahadme, Campbell
Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Watson, Edmonds-Green, Anderson, Godden, Aneke, Kanu
Comments
Goalie, not been tested yet.
Strikers, not scored a goal yet.
Would settle for a draw and the beginnings of answers.
1 change, Small for Edwards
After last week's travel fiasco I'm just glad to be here.
Definitely be good to see the strikers start scoring though.
Realistic now...3 points is the aim...
Players making our lovely pitch look untidy.
Just need some spectators now ...
1. TC isn’t up front on his own and I think Ahadme will do most of the tussling with Santos
2. Hopefully the rest of the team gets up the pitch and supports them better than they did Alfie a year ago
Looked a bit wooden up top last time out.
