    Not the most inspiring of places to vist but hopefully the boys on the grass will make up for that with three points.
    I am not holding my breath and just living in hope.

    Even if the weather warms up on Saturday there may be quite a few games called off.

    It depends on Friday night I guess. If it's another freezing one there could be trouble.
    But if it's mild then pitches may have time to thaw.

    As elsewhere - no overnight frost in Burton Friday/Saturday.

    Sorry Lardi, but we’ll have to actually play some football to get anything out of this game.

    We may well have Ladapo in to accompany Alfie up front. There are rumours of a busy day on the transfer market today, so I'll look forward to a battle that results in a win to the Addicks. It really is about time we got back to winning ways.
    1-2 Charlton (and no clean sheet <laugh>)

    Agreed, Burton is grim, f*** that having two hours there waiting to get the train.

    Our current away form is really grim, relegation form. Our home form is also grim, but hey-ho we had a good 45 minutes against the Posh. Fingers crossed we carry on from that second half.

    I am going to this one as it is only 45 mins away from me plus I've been to 2 away games this season. Wigan and Shrewsbury, our only away win and 1 of 3 clean sheets we've had. Maybe I'm good luck.

    I think this really is a must win game. Can’t see us getting anything away at Blackpool and if we go into the February fixtures without a recent win under our belts, we are in real trouble.

    The line up will be key. Presume no Ladapo as he signed too late, so our options up front are limited. Presume no CBT and no Campbell so our midfield set up will be interesting. Can MA organise, coach and get a tune out of our other new signings. If not it could get ugly. I expect Burton to be very far from a pushover.

    Can’t see us winning and a draw isn’t good enough at the moment.

    I'll suffer four points from our next two games.

    I take it back. Ladapo starts.

    We look better up front but that defence is still a huge worry.

    CBT’s minor, but genuine injury doesn’t seem to have improved <laugh>

    Anything less than a win and this will be Charlton's worst ever 3rd tier position after 27 games played since 1926.
    So no pressure then.

    Up the Addicks! :emoticon-0165-muscl

    Jinx. Down to 16th. I think this game will have several more goals.
