Alas......0-2. Bent will score, I'm sure he has scored a few against over the years. A couple for Ipswich at the Valley in a 3-1 defeat spring to mind.
If Phillips starts and is around 5-1 he'll be getting some money waged on him as first goalscorer.
Charlton have added rookie striker Tamer Tuna to their squad for Saturday's encounter.
The 17-year-old has been promoted to the first-team pool after scoring twice for the reserves in midweek.
Tuna could be on the bench as boss Phil Parkinson is unlikely to tinker with his starting line-up following last weekend's 3-2 win at fellow strugglers Southampton.
Darren Ambrose came on as a second-half substitute at St Mary's following a thigh injury and should be involved again.
Fellow midfielder Matt Spring has missed out on the last couple of matchday squads but should feature at some time over Easter
I think the idea was that he was part of the squad - to give him an idea of what preparing for a match day is like rather than being a member of the 16.
The choice is sacrifice a midfielder for a non-scoring striker. I don't like playing 4-5-1 at home, but that formation is far more likely to produce goals than playing Kandol + Dickson or Burton.
Suppose as it's only Bailey who's scoring really! Still think 4-4- 2 is more attack minded though and creates more chances. Would have started Dickson up there but not burton.
