Think we'll nick it 2-1. I would play Tuna and Mcleod up front and put Basey in at left back with Youga as right back, pick from Sodje, Llera and Daily (I think he could do with a break) and have Shelvey, Wagstaff, Semedo, Bailey in the middle of the park. Lets see how this works, we should have enough there to win the match. Burton needs to have his operation so lets hope it gets done now. We need a good result to get back to winning ways..... this match should provide that.
We should give the U18's a run out as they seem to know how to win cup ties!
Like others think a few will be rested with the likes of Llera and Wagstaff given starts. Shelvey is a must.
Going to be a slog (heavy pitch) with all the rain they are having in the North West. Don't think we will lose but a draw wouldn't be a surprise (for any of us I guess). A narrow win though I think.

Heavy pitch? Not a chance. Sand based, it would have to be rain of monsoon proportions to cause any grief. ..... Now the Drillfield, our old ground .... well that would've been a different kettle of monkey's altogether.

Good to know. Hopefully help our cause but wouldn't bank on it!
Very interesting Parky thouights at today's press conference - we're going to be utilising the whole squad over the next three games, apparently, so who knows who will play in the cup games?
No mention of Burton having his hernia seen to, so I think he will play Sunday. Despite the BBC report to the contrary, it seems McKenzie is fit and travels, so I would expect him to make the bench.
Richardson travels, too, so if at all possible he must play. If Parky wants another look at our trialist full-back, the JP is the more appropriate place for that.
If he keeps two up front, it's a struggle to fit everyone into a four man midfield.I'd like Wagstaff and Shelvey to start, which means Sam drops out and only two out of Semedo, Racon and Bailey can play. Spring also deserves to feature, possibly coming on at h/t if we're coasting ...Basey also deserves to play.
Nice problems to have and the squad is actually bigger and stronger than is sometimes suggested.
It has stopped raining up North and no more is predicted before the match. The pitch is immaculate - I think you will be impressed by how good our playing surface is. You Addicks won't be able to blame the state of the pitch come 3.15 on Sunday afternoon! Seriously, I hope you don't win by too many - I'm hoping for no more than 4 - and hoping we score at least 1.

Ok, Genesis. Never let it be said Charlton are greedy (or prolific). We'll settle for that, so consider it deal done : despite the fact that you were daft enough to go and name your club after Beckham's missus...
Hope some league clubs go out in the 1st round on saturday or we could all be in for a shock on sunday.If Parky plays a strong side for Charlton i still wonder who can score the goals for us.Northwich Vic will score but can we go one better.I have a bad feeling about this game and the other two games this week.2-1 Northwich Vic.
7/2 the draw looks a very good bet. Parky's got to name 6 "regulars" on Wednesday and with Elliot injured that 6 of the outfield players. I think sundays team will be weaker than Wednesdays and it wouldn't suprise me if he named.

On-loan Charlton keeper Carl Ikeme was refused permission to play by parent club Wolves, so Darren Randolph makes his first appearance of the season.
Another loanee, Reading striker Dave Mooney, is also ineligible while Leon McKenzie and Frazer Richardson are ruled out with thigh injuries.
Burton needs to have his operation so lets hope it gets done now. We need a good result to get back to winning ways..... this match should provide that.
I know. I meant in the replay at The Valley a week on Tuesday.

Holden, Spring, Semedo, Wagstaff
Tuna, Mcloud
Binks, Richardson, Daily, Bailey, Shelvey, McKenzie, Youga
Draw?
Whatever happens, even if we lose it won't be as embarrassing as having to play in the First Round in the first place.
Losing to a 'Division 6' team in the cup I can stomach - it's easy compared to seeing us in Division 3 every bloody week.
