'Going to cost us promotion' - Sunderland fans deliver clear verdict on Lee Johnson's Charlton Athletic team selection

After a decent return since an injury, Jordan Jones has been dropped to the bench with Aiden O’Brien taking his place.

Ross Stewart also drops to the bench after a start against Peterborough United with Lynden Gooch restored to the side.

Josh Scowen has also regained his place instead of Grant Leadbitter who started on Easter Monday.

There’s no place in the team for Denver Hume with the left-back occupying a place on the bench.

And, as usual, Wearsiders have been quick to react to the starting XI.

Here’s how you reacted on Twitter to Johnson’s team to face Charlton Athletic at the Stadium of Light:

@Squealer66: “O'Brien back in disappointed Hume isn't and hope Jones will see game time.”

@GlenProctor88: “Strong squad all around, strange how McGuire is getting left out now we have more players back, either he doesn’t rate him or there’s issues with fitness or attitude.”

@jonnymcfadden: “Every manager seems to have a blind spot for a player...seems LJ’s is McFadzean #safc”

@danrae91: “Need Hume to start soon otherwise it’s going to cost us promotion, Jones on the bench is strange and I really don’t get having Diamond on the bench ahead of Maguire, hopefully I’m completely wrong.”

@Jay_Alderson04: “Mcfadz?? Are you serious?”

@Megangaudie13: “I mean it's not the worst lineup we've ever had by a long shot but there are several changes to this I would make. Hey ho 3 points is what we want, whichever way possible.”
