Thought we may as well have a match thread...

We kick off the Bristol Street Motors Trophy campaign Tonight with a trip to the Cledara Abbey Stadium to face Cambridge United and go into the tie looking to continue the positive momentum after the 1-0 victory at Shrewsbury Town on Saturday, courtesy of Gassan Ahadme's first goal for the club. Cambridge currently sit second in Group K having already faced Bromley earlier this month. Following a dramatic 3-3 draw at Hayes Lane, they sealed the bonus point with a penalty shootout victory.

So, lets see what side Nathan puts out, with an important match coming up Saturday, priorities will be on show

Dan Potts and Allan Campbell will make their full debuts in tonight’s clash against Cambridge United as Nathan Jones makes 11 changes.

 Jamaican international Kaheim Dixon and academy prospects Alan Mwamba and Tommy Reid are involved in a matchday squad for the very first time, the trio are joined on the bench by Josh Edwards, who has been sidelined for the last month with an ankle injury.

Charlton are expected to continue in a 3-5-2 formation with Rarmani Edmonds-Green, Zach Mitchell and Potts, who will captain the side, lining up ahead of goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

Tennai Watson and Tayo Edun will operate as wing-backs, with Terry Taylor, Karoy Anderson and Allan Campbell forming Jones’ three-man midfield behind strikers Matty Godden and Daniel Kanu. 

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Edmonds-Green, Z.Mitchell, Potts (c); Watson, Taylor, Anderson, A.Campbell, Edun; Godden, Kanu

Subs: Reid, Gillesphey, Asiimwe, Edwards, Mwamba, Dixon, T.Campbell

    We've got a decent squad now. Reckon that team would beat last season's first team.

    Interesting team selection. The "second 11" of first teamers, but a very young bench, with 3 potential debutants and Edwards. 

    Oh and kick off delayed until 7:10, as our coach is held up in traffic.

    Looking forward to this now, what with Taylor starting, hopefully be a chance for him to show he is worth keeping. 

    Whilst we have a great bench with Edwards back, Mwamba as the unknown youngster and Dixon as the exciting prospect

    What type of player is Mwamba?
    Attacking midfielder/winger when I've seen him

    I thought this was on sky ? anyone know what channel ?

    Surprised Mwamba is on the bench after playing 66 minutes yesterday, rather than one of the more established U21s.

    I’ve watched the last few u21 streams (going back to FM research got me back into it haha). Surprised to see Mwamba on the bench as he looked a long way off being ready to me, needs to improve on the ball and reading the game, decision making etc.

    I’d compare him with Jordan Cousins. Full of running and energy, not as technically good as Huke, at u21 level could probably play a holding role, box to box or attacking midfielder role.

    Cynical view could be Huke and Kedwell have already made their debuts so giving Mwamba his ticks off another one and boosts our academy productivity numbers.

    He obviously had a good 1st year as an u18 last season as he’s signed pro when he could have had another year in the u18s.

    True! But Potts, Godden, Campbell and the returning Mitchell are decent additions.  Anyway, I'm exaggerating...I really mean it would compete with last year's first team, which does show our squad has improved a lot.

    From what you’ve said it could be that he fits the Nathan Jones desired profile better than the others?

    Michael Morrison looks like he has spent far too much time in the sun - Kaikai, and Cousins complete the Charlton connections; with the second cousin of Glen Hoddle on the bench, genuinely


  • LoOkOuTLoOkOuT
    They’ve got Glenn Hoddle on their bench.

    Michael Morrison sort of looks so much like every man you've ever met, that he sort of stops looking like anyone at all
    Well that makes sense... :D

    Alan Mwamba is very young, but he is on form at the moment.
    How old is he Seth?
  • 19addickted9619addickted96
     thought we’d see Leaburn get more minutes here, perhaps he’s further ahead than thought

    Do they not have the rule that we have to use a certain number of the first team from the previous match this season, or are we just not giving a shit about that then?
