MATCH THREAD : Sheffield Utd V Charlton Athletic : Saturday 20th September 2025 KO 15:00
Yes, today we travel up to Bramall Lane for another testing fixture, but with a twist, today for the first time in over a month, we kick off at 3pm on a Saturday, that will make a change and welcome relief for supporters making the long trip up the M1...
Sheffield Utd sit rock bottom of The Championship on zero points, and having scored just one solitary goal in the process, unfortunately Rubén Sellés couldn't hang on just one more game before the bullet, United were condemned to a 5-0 defeat at Ipswich Town in their last outing, prompting Wilder's return to his boyhood club, and today Wilder starts his second spell at the club, and it's up to us to give him a rude debut...
Asked for the latest team news, Nathan Jones said: "Berry’s the closest, then Mannion and then probably Godden, hopefully we can start getting them back out soon, apart from that we’re in real good shape." The Blades will be without Jamie Shackleton, Oliver Arblaster, Tom Davies and Danny Ings this weekend.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
We've clashed on 68 previous occasions winning 21, the Blades 29, and the remaining 18 fixtures resulting in draws, our last meeting came at Bramall Lane in March 2017, when the hosts came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory...😣
The Addicks will be wearing their white and blue away kit in the Steel City...
Team news...
Reece Burke and James Bree will make their first starts for the Addicks this afternoon.
The pair made their debuts off the bench in last weekend’s draw with Millwall and replace the suspended Kayne Ramsay and Rob Apter, who moves to the bench.
It means Burke is likely to join Lloyd Jones and Amari'i Bell in a back three in front of Thomas Kaminski.
Bree and Josh Edwards will operate as wing-backs with Sonny Carey, Conor Coventry and captain Greg Docherty once again in midfield.
Charlie Kelman and Tyreece Campbell start in an unchanged front two.
Apter is joined on the bench by Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Macaulay Gillesphey, Karoy Anderson, Joe Rankin-Costello, Ibrahim Fullah, Miles Leaburn and Tanto Olaofe.
Charlton: Kaminski; Burke, Jones, Bell; Bree, Carey, Coventry, Docherty (c), Edwards; Kelman, Campbell
Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Gillesphey, Anderson, Rankin-Costello, Apter, Fullah, Knibbs, Leaburn, Olaofe

Couple of quotes posted by Rich Cawley
Chris Wilder in his programme notes: "I'm delighted with the quality we have in the dressing room, there's some exceptional players and whoever gets the nod today will give everything for the shirt, everyone knows that is the bare minimum for a Sheffield United player." #cafc
Wilder: "We cannot affect what has happened in the past. It's about today and going forward and together - and this has been proved - we can be a force." #cafc1 -
Bree and Burke both start today... Can understand why
Very defensive, smash and grab for the point or all three today

Campbell vs Campbell is ON!!!3

Gone for a more defensive lineup, which doesn't surprise me.5
-
Think with the more defensive lineup I’d have gone for Leaburn over Kelman just to have the height to aim for. Will be interesting to see how much Bree gets forward5
-
Feels like the right set of choice for our lineup. Away at a big club who are probably going to have a huge boost in performance today, being more secure with Burke and Bree makes the most sense and then we can bring on Apter, Knibbs, Leaburn and Olaofe if we need to. Godfrey needs to be targeted by our strikers, if they're going to get change off anyone it's him. No doubt he'll be a colossus today instead though.4
-
Bit disappointed Apter isn't playing but I'm sure we'll see him in the game. Strategy here might be to keep it tight at the beginning and ruin the local optimism in Sheffield.

Second half game changers will make all the difference today, nice and tight first 45, them hit 'em hard second half...0-3 will do nicely3

fenaddick said:Cooper, Burrows, Peck, Hamer, Campbell, all started Wilder's last game.
Campbell was only on the bench last Friday, but did get minutes. Whilst the other four all started against Ipswich.
Godfrey, Tanganga, Matos, McGuiness and O'Hare all started last week's 5-0 defeat at Ipswich. Ogbene comes into the team. Barry and Cannon drop to the bench... So just two changes to the starting eleven from their last match.2 -
Booooo.
Crap team. Best wide man have (Apter) is dropped to the bench and then NJ picks his Luton Town favs.

I just hope in the second half Jones has the balls to put on Knibbs, Apter, Olaofe and Leaburn if we're chasing the game or drawing but looking ok3
-
Lineup as I predicted. Those calling for Apter or TC at RWB were inviting a tonking from Hamer rampaging down the left. The oblject today is to stop them scoring, then if they have tired, try to win it at the end, or keep it tight for a 0-0.6
-
Strong bench today.1
-
Still think this allows us to do a hybrid 3-5-2 / 4-3-3, but just with Edwards pushing high on the left instead of Apter / Small high on the right.
If we do that it will be interesting to see who naturally gravitates towards the wide right position: TC or Kelman?2 -
Shame that when they come on we will be behind & chasing the game.jakecafc said:Strong bench today.
Always best to score first. Especially CAFC as we dont lose when we do & hardly win when we dont.4 -
Isn’t TC right footed? It always puzzles me that he always starts on the left, and Apter (who looks left footed) on the right.Callumcafc said:

Try fawanews, that's not bad, although I cannot guarantee you'll receive it.
