Charlton face a Morecambe side desperate for points in their relegation battle at The Valley tomorrow. Away from home, the Shrimps have won just one, drawn six and lost 14. They have conceded 42 goals. Charlton have won eight, drawn seven and lost six at home.
Cole Stockton scored the winning goal at home to Wycombe last Saturday and he seems to have found his shooting boots again after an indifferent season by his former standards.
Morecambe have faced some ownership ups and downs with the takeover by a 20-year old entrepreneur not yet complete. Wages have been paid late. Their low average attendances (4,310 last season) make it difficult to compete in League One.
Morecambe boss Derek Adams reckons that Charlton should have been contending for promotion this season and takes hope from last year's 3-2 victory at The Valley: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/morecambe-boss-derek-adams-believes-charlton-athletic-should-have-been-pushing-for-promotion-this-season/
I had forgotten that Morecambe has signed former Addick ace Papa Souare in a desperate attempt to strengthen their squad: https://www.castrust.org/2023/04/morecambe-clinging-on-for-survival/
As CAS Trust say, attention will soon switch to the ownership situation and whether there will be funds for strengthening the squad.
