I expect a really low crowd for Monday night’s game live on Sky against Orient - as the majority of Charlton fans will be taking floydandharvey’s advice and boycotting Sky and their games…
Regardless, the game on Monday is Charlton’s 27th “must-win” game of the season and in the middle of three home games that Charlton should (and have to, of course) win to keep pace with Leeds and Norwich. With Leeds playing Spurs in the cup and the flying canaries at home to Brentford, come Monday evening it is entirely feasible that the top three will all be on the same points. How interesting. (Norwich and Leeds play on Tuesday though against Walsall and Swindon respectively).
Last Tuesday’s game against Hartlepool was a strange one. We dominated possession without much quality and we restricted them to hardly any chances while at the same time looking nervous if they got into the last third of the pitch. Yet we won.
Despite a flat atmosphere and strange mumurings of discontent from certain quarters, I cannot see Parky changing the team at all. Youga still seems a week or so away and Wagstaff has not convinced me that he can have the same impact as a sub for an entire match.
For me, it is same team, same result. Hopefully we can also get a similar atmosphere to what many of us experienced at the reverse fixture.
What are your thoughts?

Leon has spent time playing left-mid so should be conscious of his defensive responsibilites. Lining up with a proper shape where everyone knows their job will give us more cohesion. All we need is for the defense and midfield to push up togetherwhen we win the ball, and not to drop back so far and quickly when we loose it.
Also predict that Len will predict we will lose :)
It is almost as if he does it every week - probably fob us off with some lame excuse....
Nervy 2-1 win after going behind in first half.
Shelvey and Burton
behind at half-time but we win with goals from Mooney and Sam
Would stick with the same side. 3-0 Burton, Shelvey and Llera.
I do do it every week. as I've explained before it has now become a superstition and while we are doing ok i will continue it!
2-1 Orient. Our players will tense up because the boo boys will start up because we haven't scored in the first 15 minutes and Orient will score twice from their only two real attacks. Burton will get a late goal but amidst the boos ringing round The Valley we will fail to score an equaliser.
Satisfied?
:-)
won't be the lowest crowd of the season
Os will bring a good 800-1000
really looking forward to this one - my Dad's family are all Os so a big family meal at Kinveachy Towers beforehand then all down the road to the Valley
Burton hat trick

Would have gone but stupid snooker commitments :-( grrrr!!!!! silly monday night game, wont even be able to watch on T.V
Is Sam Sodje available now?
If so then Sodje for Llera otherwise an unchanged side.
It's good to be wrong!
hopefully people aren't going with the illusion that this will be a great game though, because you'll need to remember that we are a 3rd division side and you just shouldn't expect too much
3-0
