The Trophy Tussle
Key Stats
– Charlton Athletic, after enduring a rough patch, have found hope under caretaker boss Jason Pearce.
– Alfie May’s exceptional form has been the beacon for Charlton, scoring 4 in just 6 appearances.
Despite a turbulent beginning, Crawley Town have embarked on an unexpectedly bright start to their season. Pundits previously earmarked them as the prime contenders for relegation from League Two. Nevertheless, manager Scott Lindsey must surely be pleased with the grit his team has shown. Drawing parallels to last season, when they narrowly missed out on advancing from the group stage of the Football League Trophy, Lindsey will surely have his eyes set on bettering that record.

On the other side of the pitch, Charlton Athletic have faced their share of challenges, both on and off the field. With ownership upheavals affecting team performance and dampening spirits among the fan base, the dismissal of Dean Holden, after four straight League One losses, marked a tumultuous period for the club. But with caretaker boss Jason Pearce steering the ship, a glimmer of hope was seen when they bested Fleetwood Town 2-1, a victory underpinned by Alfie May’s stellar performance. Aiming to overcome their previous early knockout in this competition, the Addicks are hungry for more.
A Tactical Look:
As the game approaches, there are tactical nuances both managers will consider. Lindsey might mull over a potential lineup shuffle, particularly in the forward positions, with Klaidi Lolos hoping for a start after his recent substitution appearance. In the goalie’s gloves, Luca Ashby-Hammond could be the chosen one for Crawley.
Contrastingly, Charlton’s upcoming fixture against Wigan Athletic is postponed, which grants Pearce the luxury to field a strong lineup. Still, star striker Alfie May might be spared, considering the crucial role he plays in their league campaign. This opens doors for the ex-Arsenal frontman, Chuks Aneke, to make a significant impact.
