I trust Ba is fit to play instead of Ceballos.

GL may feel the need to rest Solly and Diarra. Sarr could replace Diarra, but replaclng Solly is more difficult. It would not be Charles-Cook because he played today. One possibility is Cousins, with Bergdich coming in at LM.

But I think Solly will play. If he was going to be left out they would have taken Charles-Cook, if only for cover.

If we have a full team I think we can manage at least a draw.

I can't see GL making any changes to the defence, which has been solid, and Ba for Ceballos should be the only change unless anybody is injured. I don't think Big Mak is an automatic choice because he's not a lot of cop with his feet, but will keep his place for the time being because of what he gives us in the air, especially in defence. I think most of games will be close and this one could be another 1-1. Jackson with a late equaliser.
 
Solly was playing Saturday and Tuesdays under Luzon last season, so hope he will be able to manage that again tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ba return in place of Ceballos - I am yet to read a comment stating trying him on the left worked, so it will be down to Cousins to move out wide again.... unless Bergdich is ready to start.

I always have a certain confidence when we play forest, perhaps down to several members of the family supporting them and encouraging me competitive nature - but see a draw as a minimum tonight, and think we could get all 3 points.

1-2 (Diarra, Watt)
 
I think that this is a game we can win. Forrest have been hit with the transfer embargo from their purchase of Assombalonga, having failed to make payments to Peterborough United.

He's still out on long term injury, and have been unconvincing in both their games against Brighton and Rotherham (having won coming from behind). After watching our performances, I believe this is a match we should win, providing we can get more than one goal, as it's proved against strong opposition, i.e. Derby, and throughout the championship as a whole, it's rare for a team not to score.

If any of you are interested, Dougie Freeman has spoken about our club in the press:

He might be already making excuses to when he loses?
 
I have fond memories of the City Ground, starting in around 1988 when a brilliant volley from Robert Lee gave us a late 2-2 draw against Cloughie's very decent side. I still have the Charlton Season Highlights video from that season somewhere, and I can clearly be seen celebrating amongst our paltry away support <cheers>

And some not so fond memories, eh? FA Cup. Pardew. Humiliation.
