Sky are bringing their lovely HD cameras down to The Valley tomorrow for 12.15 KO, I can’t imagine that they are promoting it as a “Super Saturday Morning” or the like but all the same it is the first chance to show the entire footballing world our footballing credentials.
Charlton will be defending their 100% record in the league against a centre-backless Brentford team who are also unbeaten since being promoted from Division 4. With the only injury doubt for the Addicks being Frazer Richardson will we see the same team again? Will any of McKenzie, Holden or Sodje feature at all? Will the takeover happen on the pitch beforehand?
Your views and predictions here please.

Looking forward to seeing Sam Wood. Tricky little winger/play maker who was at Bromley season before last. Starred for Brentford last year so will be interesting to see how he looks against a decent side.
Solly in for Richardson if not fit.
Mckenzie on the bench but otherwise unchanged.
No takeover announcement before the game.
expect the same side with Sodje on the bench, Parky said he's not fully fit but is naturally pretty fit so I'm sure he'd have no problem if called upon.
Jonjo to score and then smash his drive Happy Gilmore style into the Covered End
Don't expect a takeover announcement, but i reckon some form of good news will emerge in the next 24 hours.
They have to score and Myles Weston will be the scorer.

Yeh anyway we'll win 2-0, Shelvey and Racon to score. They won't get near with a Charllton reject up front in Myles Weston.
Brentford's centre half not fit to play, so I expect them to play a defensive 5 man midfield and hope to score from set play or breakaway. If we do not score early it could be a bore.
Will their midfield hold out against ours? Doubtfull. A comfortable 2-0 win after one of their players gets sent off for two yellows
Nice week of rest for the starting XI so we'll be home and dry by half-time. Hopefully will see something of Holden and Mckenzie too.
Did he? Knew he'd had a trial at Wolves but not us. I did once mention him to Pardew but there you go.
Good to see him doing well (not tomorrow hopefully) as always seemed keen and hard working. According to people at Bromley he always thought he could make it as a pro and so he has.
Any manager worth his salt will have done his homework on us.
He'll have noted that our midfield is both our attack and our defence - so expect him to flood the midfield, and attempt to close us down quickly, denying us time and space on the ball.
That could choke our passing game, negate our tactics - and as just about every opposing manager has commented in the recent past, get our crowd to turn against their own team.
But if we can get our noses in front, Brentford will be forced to come at us and take risks, leaving them vulnerable to our quick breaks.
Brentford are unbeaten so far, and the team spirit that got them promoted has carried them forward this season.
But they appear to be vulnerable at the back tomorrow, so it's in our own hands to make sure they are out-thought and out-fought.
it is something which stands us in good stead in the last 20/30 mins of games and will prove so again tomorrow.
at the game 2 morrow with sams family he had a trial at wolves before going to brentford never had a trial with us had interest from bristol city and coventry very good player likes to get forward maybe we should av a good look at him do with someone left back or left midfield he is versatile also local lad.
I had 2-0 and Llera 1st scorer in the last game with Bobbolder and our mate Stu, so hopefully will be right again and we'll continue our fine form. Can't wait to see them play again. Regardless of division, the buzz of watching a confident, footballing, winning side is a great one.
No takeover announcement tomorrow and now that we've managed to keep our midfield engine room and brought in a few newbies, I am a lot calmer all round in relation to any takeover. If one is to happen, I hope it does before the next window opens.
2-0 - JJ to win 6 Callaways for his longest drive.
im good mates with his uncle and know his dad well they said charlton have never looked at him so i will take there word for it he was at cray and bromley and his old man ran cray reserves had at lot of interest from other clubs he may av trained at sparrows lane for a week but as far as im told nobody of note looked at him anyway still think we are gonna win 3-0.which would be great cos his uncle has drove me mad on the golf course about this game 4 ages.
We should win, but we're not going to win every game. Don't know enough about most of the teams in this league to predict when we'll slip up for the first time.
Great thing is we've kept our best players, and they can't mark all of them. Sam's a threat on the wing, Bailey scores goals, Shelvey scores and creates things, our full backs get forward, we'll get the odd goal from Racon and Burton. Even if teams mark all of them out of the game, we're still a threat from set pieces and we were all surprised when Semedo scored against Tranmere.
Some form of good news?
Should be a good match, I am going and think we will win, which is always a bad sign.......
But Brentford will be our toughest match to date and I think there could be a bit of a buzz about this game.
