  • Three changes for Owls clash
    Jerome Thomas makes his first start of the season against Sheffield Wednesday as Alan Pardew makes three changes from last Saturday's loss at Stoke City.

    The winger replaces Lloyd Sam and will operate wide left with skipper Andy Reid switching to the right.

    With Yassin Moutakouakil sidelined for a number of weeks after sustaining an ankle injury at the Britannia Stadium, Paddy McCarthy will operate in his place at right-back.

    And there is also a full debut for towering striker Chris Iwelumo who is given his chance up front as Marcus Bent's third frontline partner of the campaign.

    Other significant team news sees Nicky Weaver playing in goal against his boyhood heroes and centre-back Madjid Bougherra takes on the Owls for the first time since sealing a £2.5m switch to The Valley from Hillsborough in January.

    Svetoslav Todorov has recovered from a thigh niggle to take his place on the bench where he is joined by Izale McLeod - who has a handy knack of scoring against the Owls - Zhang Zhi, Amdy Faye and Darren Randolph.

    A point at home to Scunthorpe is Charlton's net return from their opening two league matches and that is one more than Wednesday who sit bottom of the table after losing both games, conceding seven goals in the process.

    Players of note include former Arsenal youngster Frank Simek at full-back and the much-travelled Deon Burton up front.

    Charlton: Weaver, McCarthy, Thatcher, Fortune, Bougherra; Reid, Semedo, Ambrose, Thomas, M Bent, Iwelumo.

    Subs: Randolph, Faye, Zheng, Todorov, McLeod.

    Sheff Wed: Grant; Simek, Spurr, Hinds, Wood; Lunt, O'Brien, Whelan, Johnson; Clarke, Burton.

    Subs: Burch, Bullen, Gilbert, Folly, Tudgay.

    Referee: K Friend
  • He's never going to start with Paddy at right back, surely not?

    Must be a cunning plan?
  • 2 nil down at half time at home.

    This is getting fcking embarrassing!
