MATCH THREAD : Barnsley V Charlton Athletic : Tuesday 22nd October 2024 : KO 19:45

So, tonight it's a trip up north to Oakwell and a midweek match at Barnsley, so the archetypal cold Tuesday night match, and hats off to all those travelling Addicks who have no doubt made the long trip up for what will be another tricky encounter, and one we should be more than capable of at least coming home with a point on the board, whilst 🤞 all three...
Two players we are pretty sure will be missing and missed a lot are Jones and Ramsay, also out are Gas (chest injury) and Chuks (minor groin)...but we should welcome back Coventry, which will be good, 

We've met on 56 previous occasions winning 22, the Tykes 18 and the remaining 16 encounters ending all square, we ran out 2-1 victors at The Valley when the teams last met thanks to Alfie May's brace...

So, here we go...

Miles Leaburn will make his first start of the season in tonight’s fixture against Barnsley at Oakwell.

Greg Docherty and Tyreece Campbell revert to the bench, while Kayne Ramsay is absent having been forced off with a knee injury on Saturday.

Nathan Jones will not be on the touchline in south Yorkshire after accumulating three yellow cards. 

Should the Addicks continue in the same formation, Edmonds-Green will join Alex Mitchell, Macaulay Gillesphey and Josh Edwards in Jones’ back four ahead of goalkeeper Will Mannion.

Conor Coventry, who returns following a one-game suspension, will operate alongside Terry Taylor, Karoy Anderson and Allan Campbell in midfield, behind a front two of Leaburn and captain Matty Godden.

Docherty and Tyreece Campbell are joined on the bench by Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Tennai Watson, Thierry Small, Luke Berry and Kaheim Dixon.

Charlton: Mannion; Edmonds-Green, A.Mitchell, Gillesphey, Edwards; Coventry, Taylor, Anderson, A.Campbell; Leaburn, Godden (c)

Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Watson, Small, Docherty, Berry, T.Campbell, Dixon

    People are going to be upset when they see Tennai Watson starting, Terry Taylor dropped and Leaburn on the bench.
    Can see the Taylor and Leaburn scenario happening yes...not right, but yes very easily...


    ...Shows how much I know...
  • Bloody hell... He's actually done it... Im excited to see this 
  • I like the look of that team, but time will tell.
  • Looking forward to seeing that team, potentially our best front two and best two holding midfielders in a 4-2-2-2. Being Charlton though it doesn’t always work out as it looks on paper.

    4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2?

  • Looks like we keep it narrow.
  • I was very close, I had Doc starting instead of A Campbell and Z.Mitchell on the bench instead of Watson. Expecting the same 4222 formation 
  • Like the look of that team but would have gone for Berry over A.Campbell  
  • At last, the return of Leaburn to the starting line up...✅✅
  • Yay.....

    Leaburn & Godden start.

    Win incoming. 
  • Impressed with Taylor's fitness... He hasn't had to play much, but half expected that game on Saturday to have taken too much out of him to play so soon
  • I take it Chuks is injured again?

    Minor groin...bless him...🙄
  • Boooo......

    But then see that A.Campbell starts & Berry is on the bench. 

    That incoming win was a dud......or a scud 😄.

    Team looks good except for Allan Campbell, who for me has looked so average every time he's played. A very defensively minded 3 in midfield would be another critique but looking forward to seeing how Taylor & Coventry get on together, and obviously Miles starting.

    C'mon now, don't give up hope so early 
  • we wrecked Barnsley at the valley last year when we were worse than bad.

    3-0 to us

    Assume this was posted before the team was announced!
  • This will obviously jinx things but I absolutely love that starting line up

    Countdown to...maybe not just yet! 🤔

    Berry or TC instead of Alan Campbell is the only other thing Id; have liked to see, but I can understand the selection for a midweek away game up north against one of the better teams in the division. Taylor looked absolutely cream crackered from about 80 mins onwards on Saturday so I did expect he would drop back to the bench today, but I don't mind seeing him given a chance to build on such a strong showing on Saturday.
