MATCH PREVIEW: Southend United vs Charlton Athletic (FACR1) | Saturday 2nd November 2024 - 3pm KO
The FA Cup - 1st Round Proper
Southend United vs Charlton Athletic
Saturday 2nd November 2024 - 3pm Kick-Off
Referee: Darren Drysdale
Introduction
Its that time of the year again which makes many a Charlton Lifer shake with nerves, and no I dont mean the creation of the January Transfer Window thread. Instead its the yearly return of the FA Cup, many Charlton fan regards it as a brief return, a distraction that happens on very rare occasions, like the form of Scott Fraser - After all, our history is littered with cupsets; Dag & Red (NOO!!), Northwich Victoria (STOP IT!!)... Cray Valley Paper Mills (WHYYYY!!) - Will this weekend be another match cosigned to the unwanted history books, stored in the deepest darkest regions of Life Towers... Will anyone be surprised?
The Opposition
Name: Southend United - Manager: Kevin Maher
Ground: Roots Hall
League: National League
Standing in our way this weekend, is a new Non-League team; Southend United, who have had their own struggles just to get to this stage of the competition. On the pitch its been simple, they've had to win just a single game in the FA Cup, which came against fellow league side: Eastleigh, a 1-0 victory putting the Shrimpers into the First Round of the FA Cup, for the first time since their relegation from the Football League in 2023.
In the League they sit 14th, just four points from the Play-Offs, so they could yet make a speedy return to the EFL under Kevin Maher who played over 300-games whilst at the club - Its off the pitch where their problems have been, with various financial and ownership difficulties putting the historic club at risk of even existing, with various winding up orders making any takeover a challenging business... No one wants to see a Football club die, and thankfully that doesnt seem to be the case with Southend, on 19th July 2024, their takeover was completed, a consortium of members, all aiming to drag Southend (who had been in the Football League since 1920), back to where they belong.
Naturally all eyes will be on one Striker this coming Saturday, who has been getting involved more and more of late, playing 90mins last weekend against Tamworth; Macauley Bonne has yet to score this season, so we all know what that means - Southend themselves will be looking to reach the Second Round Proper, for the first time since 2019, not the worst opponents standing in their way for a "Giant-Killing", something that I'm sure will give everyone a boost at Roots Hall, am sure they could do with it!!
Charlton Team News
One player who I'm sure will be disappointed to miss out this weekend is Daniel Kanu, the young Striker spent a short loan period at Roots Hall last season, scoring four goals in a single game against Solihull Moors, and would surely have been delighted to face some familiar faces... However its likely that Daniel will remain out with an injury.
In terms of the squad selection, we could well see a bit of a hybrid team to the one that faced Chelsea U21s on Tuesday night, with some first teamers coming back into the squad to ensure a level of match fitness remains - The likes of Ashley Maynard-Brewer, and Terry Taylor who both impressed in the EFL Trophy, could keep their places, along with Miles Leaburn who'll be looking to add to his tally after getting off the mark in front of goal against his previous Employers - Elsewhere and there might be more minutes for Danny Hylton, who showed a decent degree of experience and Kaheim Dixon who'll want to improve in that particular field.

Excellent preview as usual FA
No dramas like against
Dagenham and Redbridge
Northwich Victoria
CVPM
Just a straight forward win for the mighty Addicks.
And no goal for the useless prick Bonne.
There I've said it.3 -
3-0 Bonne hatrick9

Southend and their supporters will be right up for this one and it should be a cracking atmosphere with (hopefully) 1,880 of our supporters at Roots Hall. I attended the three away cup games that we lost against lower-league opposition last season and am cautiously optimistic that we can end that dismal sequence, the very worst being the spineless surrender on the Medway Riviera.
I don't think it will be easy and would like to see Godden alongside Leaburn and Campbell out wide, although I expect Nathan Jones will stick with the same formation.1 -
Southend 1 - Charlton 00

Are we that bothered with the cup given our injury issues at present .. one thing we don’t need is a reply ? A crap ref as well …6

FA Cup replays to be scrapped from the first round onwards in 2024-25 - BBC Sport10 -
I think Jones will play a strong team and we'll win 3 - 1.
Leaburn, Berry and Hylton to score.8 -
Surprised but not disappointed, not to see Ahadme in the reckoning. Would be good to get a win and another game for youngsters and other players that do not normally start0

Narrow win hopefully. In the pot for Mondays draw and getting the mighty Wrexham at home .1-22

It's Charlton in the cup. We know how this is going to go.1

Is it 9 subs in the FA Cup?2

I thought that as went to edit my Preview, but checked and appears its only from the Third RoundJohnnyH2 said:Is it 9 subs in the FA Cup?0 -

AMB for me
1) 4 excellent saves on Tuesday (inc 1 double save).
2)NJ has not given him a chance until last Tuesday, despite the pointless dead games at the end of last season when he could have easily tried AMB instead of Istead. Then he did the illogical thing of retaining the keeper he hadn't tried.
3)He didn't look like a stick insect on Tuesday

Great saves but still did not come off his line. Without Jones at the back I think he could be too vulnerable against an aerial attack .KingKinsella said:AMB for me

Charlton in The Cup! What could possibly go wrong?2
-
There’s no midweek game to worry about so why not put out the strongest team possible? We’ll still lose though 🙁0
-
It’s a trade off - Mannion is calm and collects the ball but I don’t think is a very good shot stopper vs AMB, who is an upgrade on shot stopping but is awful on crosses . I prefer Mannion but I am sure there are better out there and clearly Jones spent the whole summer trying to find one .Southbank said:

Going away to a club two divisions below us and playing a GK weak on crosses doesn’t sound like a good mix.wmcf123 said:
