I think we really should win comfortably, I've been hoping for something like last friday to occur for sometime now. A last minute winner can really bring a team together in the dressing room and confidence can come racing back. I'd love to see us stick 3 or 4 past them while keeping a clean sheet at the back, the goal difference would realy help too as getting into the final stages of the season and bearing in mind how tight it is in the play-off spots it will count as an extra point.
Just remembered one of their players (Baker) got sent off in the away game after throwing a punch at Nicky. Interaction between them (assuming Baker is playing) tomorrow could be worth watching:-)

Baker is now at Coventry.
Should have checked! Thanks. Oh well one less potential flashpoint plus he was one of their better players so hopefully a help to us.
stockport really are rubbish.with the worst goal difference in the league and some way off from safety they seem to be resigned to going down.all we have to do is turn up to collect the points.the poorest side we are going to play.
2-1 home win, with the same unconvincing display that we've shown all season.
[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]Otherwise while I'm not sure Racon and Bailey in the middle is strong enough defensively I would go with that against a weak team at home.
Semedo's got a virus and Jonjo's a doubt anyway, so apart from Spring, who might not be match fit, we don't have many options there anyway.
whats his name does he work for Coca Cola or the mighty Reds.
for what its worth another week in the comfort of the Coca Cola corperate 5 course din dins and comfy seats in the pressence of some true Charlton legends from my comfy view point i for see a 6 nil battering

Rock-bottom Stockport travel to promotion-chasing Charlton without on-loan Jemal Johnson.
The winger is expected to miss two weeks with a hamstring strain picked up in the 1-0 defeat to Bristol Rovers on Tuesday.
Skipper Johnny Mullins, who missed the trip to the Memorial Stadium with an ankle injury, is again out, but centre-half Danny Swailes should return after recovering from a dead leg.
Gary Ablett is under no illusions about how big a test is squad face at the Valley, but after two wins in their last four games, the County boss has reason to be optimistic.
"It will be a massively difficult game," said Ablett. "But it is one we can go into full of confidence."
Stockport have at least been boosted by news that their administrators have confirmed an agreement with the Melrose Consortium for the sale of the cash-strapped club.
Leonard Curtis agreed a deal with former Manchester City striker Jim Melrose on Tuesday night, and the bid will now go before the Football League next week for final approval.
The administrators also confirmed that the consortium had not yet reached an agreement with Edgeley Park landlord Cheshire Sport, but it is understood that they have already backed the bid.
A spokesman for Leonard Curtis said: "We can confirm that the administrators have agreed terms with the Melrose Consortium for the sale."
Charlton league form: DLWLW
Stockport league form: DWLWL
Key opponent: Akpo Sodje - striker has scored two in his last two
Prediction: Charlton 2 Stockport 1 - a tough game for County against a talented and motivated side

I don't like those league forms....seems to suggest a surprise away win is on the cards!!!
I must of missed this. I hadn't realised that our old favourite striker, Jimmy Melrose, was leading the group to buy Stockport County.Good luck to him, starting on Sunday of course.

Ok show off....Are you in the lib first ?
I dont think so mate got to get the bin lids to me mums first dont want to have to rush the 1st course and i am bringing the better half shes invited her pal and her old man so i wont be able to slope off,
I'd like us to start with a similar formation to the way we finished against Southend; with Reid on the left specifically. I don't understand why we'd bring a left sided midfielder in and not play him on the left. Keep Bailey in the middle, giving him some acting lessons. Anyway, I reckon we'll get a result tomorrow, 3-0 to the super reds.
If Burton is fit, i don't know whether i would start him with A.Sodje they are very similar, Leon to parter A.Sodje IMO if Sodje plays absolute toilet then bring on Burton.

Charlton win 2-0
But I'm a realist... 1-0 Charlton
2-1 Charlton, hopefully!
Charlton 2- Stockport 0
Goals : Bailey 17' and Jackson 45'
Lineup: Elliot, Richardson, Dailly, Llera, Jackson, Reid, Racon, Semedo, Bailey, Mooney, McKenzie. Bench: Randolph, S Sodje, Solly, Wagstaff, Sam, Shelvey, A Sodje
Baker is now at Coventry.
2-0 A Sodje, Racon.
Should have checked! Thanks. Oh well one less potential flashpoint plus he was one of their better players so hopefully a help to us.
A.Sodje, Sam & Mooney
2-1 home win, with the same unconvincing display that we've shown all season.
They won 4 - 3 so they also concede and their confidence may be fragile.
Burton and Semedo doubtful.
Would stick with Akpo as he scored twice in two game but would give Mckenzie 60 mins if Burton isn't fit.
Otherwise while I'm not sure Racon and Bailey in the middle is strong enough defensively I would go with that against a weak team at home.
If only Youga were fit and we could afford to keep Jackson. Jackson alongside Bailey could work even if both prefer the left side.
2 - 0
