MATCH THREAD [+POST p19]: Walsall v Charlton Athletic: (FACR2): Saturday 30th Nov 2024: KO 15:00

Good afternoon everybody...

So, the glory trail continues today on our relentless road to Wembley...🙄, with another away trip, this time it's at The Bescot Stadium where Walsall await to try and trip us up...
Walsall, who are having a rather good season so far and currently sit second in the league two table, secured their spot in round two  with an impressive 2-1 win at home to Bolton Wanderers, so today ain't gonna be a walkover, and I expect a rather tough watch, where hopefully we are able to progress into round 3 and a possible top table opposition fixture.

We've met on 37 previous occasions winning 19, the Saddlers 10, and the remaining eight fixtures ending all square, we ran out 1-0 victors at the Bescot when we last met back in August 2022, with DJ netting the decisive goal as we progressed in the Carabao Cup.

The Addicks will be wearing their yellow away kit this weekend...

So here we go...

Team news up eventually...🤦‍♂️

Terry Taylor returns to the starting line-up this afternoon as Nathan Jones makes one change to the side that beat Burton Albion in midweek.

The midfielder replaces Miles Leaburn, while Dan Potts and Daniel Kanu are named amongst the substitutes bench following respective injuries.

The starting line-up would suggest that the Addicks start in either the 4-diamond-2 formation utilised on Tuesday, or the 4-box-2 formation that has been used a number of times this season.

It means Rarmani Edmonds-Green, Alex Mitchell, Macaulay Gillesphey and Josh Edwards will start in a back four in front of Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

Taylor will join Conor Coventry, Karoy Anderson and Luke Berry in a midfield four behind Gassan Ahadme and skipper Matty Godden.

Potts and Kanu are joined on the bench by Tommy Reid, Josh Laqeretabua, Tayo Edun, Thierry Small, Allan Campbell, Tyreece Campbell and Danny Hylton.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Edmonds-Green, A.Mitchell, Gillesphey, Edwards; Taylor, Coventry, Anderson, Berry; Ahadme, Godden (c)

Subs: Reid, Potts, Laqeretabua, Edun, Small, A.Campbell, T.Campbell, Hylton, Kanu


Yipee!!...return of Taylor to the starting line up...still no place for that elusive Dixon though....FFS when will we ever see him NJ...🤷‍♂️
