Last season 1-1
Unavailable - Hudson, Semedo - Banned
Shelvey - England U17
Fortune, Zhi, Racon - injured
Remember, a 7.45pm NOT an 8pm KO.

I can see us just scrapping it by the odd goal! However everybody knows what Charlton are like you will know if we will win after the first 5 minutes!
COME ON YOU REDS!
They play some good stuff and can see them hitting us on the counter.
2-0 city
Have a man sent off.
To which Pardew will say a referee decision cost us tonight.
And we'll all moan about another shit performance for the next few days.
Or we'll win 4-1
Armed with lucrative parachute payments, the South London club has spent heavily in the transfer market and Pardew is under pressure to deliver a quick return to the Premiership. City boss Johnson senses an opportunity to take advantage of opponents who are struggling to shoulder the burden of heightened expectation.
"Given where Charlton are at the moment, they'll be disappointed with their form," claimed Johnson. "It's now up to us to keep them disappointed.
"When a team drops out of the Premiership, the supporters always expect them to bounce straight back. That's definitely the case at Charlton.
"They're still getting the parachute payments and have a lot of money to spend. They have spent a lot of that already, but you have to bring in the right players.
"Charlton are a big club with a Premiership structure and a good manager. But they are struggling at the moment and we have to try and take advantage of that.
"It's not our pressure, it's theirs' to deal with."
I have feeling that this could be where it all comes to a head.
Pardew is on the brink of loosing the fans completely. Another shocker tonight and I think the crowd will turn.
We'll be playing a team of averages Joe's who will work their arses off, will be well organised and no a thing or too about set pieces. Everything we aren't at the moment.
The suspesions will hit us hard - Cranie or Youga at CB - what a nightmare choice to make. Both are as bad as each other.
0-2 and large amount of booing and Pardew out cries I'm affraid
Are you sure? : - )
Weaver
View2akil, Cranie, Primus, Youga
Bouazza, Ambrose, Bailey, Basey
Mcleod, Young Reg.
If Bristol City score first, then who knows? Doubt we'll get back into it. The booing will start and the 'Pards must go' undercurrent will take another swell of the tides towards becoming a tsunami.
If we lose , Pards to blame suspensions, take-over uncertainty, the crowd, the ref, the lino, the ghost of Jimmy Seed, the music at half-time and the rising price of petrol (with his usual disregard for the facts completely overlooking that it's actually been coming down over the last few weeks)...
Izele or Dickson will come off the bench to score.
The ref will be rubbish.
Every Charlton mistake will be greeted by variations of "you'll be gone when the take over happens/hope the take over happens soon we need a new team"
No logic, just think that not only will we win, we'll play well as well.
Boazza is due a performance, and i think it will happen tonight.
COME ON YOU ADDICKS !!
All we really need is belief (which I believe Pards has instilled in the players) and composure (lacking in recent games)
Time for a performance
2-0 Addicks
Do you mean chicken out ??
:-)
He follows the Adducks
Sounds like you're enjoying those Vibrations AFKA!!

Bouazza(70)
Dickson(60)
decided i'd be over technical and go wild with my prediction.
Solid classy display and selection headache for Pards at the weekend.
Gray, Gray(p), Varney and Dickson
Brizzle will take the lead with a cracker of a free kick
Announcement before kickoff that the takeover goes through and we will be getting around £35m to spend in January
I just read all this in my tea leaves!
So if Pardew uses the suspension as a chance to play him there and put Moo2 in at right-back I think we will be pleasantly surprised.
Whether he will have the balls to shake things up in attack is another matter altogether though...
Can i have some of your drugs please?
"We have to win the first 20 minutes and see where we go from there. Confidence is high amongst the lads because we played some good football against Norwich on Saturday."
Gay Johnson pointing out how shit our fans can be.
Wet, cold & miserable, Pards will blame the ref, the pitch, the takeover talks etc, enjoy.
Quite happy to eat humble pie tomorrow after a storming 3-0 win though :-)
