I can't see this one. I've been pretty unimpressed by Swindon when I've seen them. I think Austin and Paynter are massively over rated, can't see them ever scoring at this rate again. Our defense is looking very impressive now we have a full back who is able to do the basics and tuck in to support Dailly and the erratic Sodje. If you hang off Swindon they can pass it really nicely around and get chances in the channels, but I just can't see it with Borrowdaleand Sam/ Richardson on the other side.
So if it was me I'd pack the midfield and bring Reid in on the left with Bailey behind Burton. Having said that as always is my want I'll prob be massively wrong hmmmmm.
I am scared that a lot of Addicks seem to think this is a foregone conclusion and is just a warm up before meeting Millwall.
Swindon are a good team and have 2 excellent strikers. I seem to recall a good centre half aswell. As always with Danny Wilson's teams they are organised and will play the passing game.
0-0 would be a good result Friday but, and it's a big but, Swindon's attacking partnership is very very good so I'd like us to get at least 1
I'm going for a draw and hope we can nick it on Monday
PS - I am expecting them to try to get-at Sam Sodje as they know he is potentially volatile. He really needs to keep his nerve this time around.

Can't see the formation changing now. We kind of played that away at Southampton, but Bailey played deeper making it a flat five across the midfield, and we desperately needed another striker on. If Bailey will play there, maybe, but can't see us trying something new like that on a play off game. Wouldn't be surprised if Forster starts with Burton.

Yeah I keep reading people talking about the final, I think we'll probably have two close games.
Will be interesting to see if Llera keeps his place. Not sure if Sodje will come straight back in.
I am going now thanks to the magic of mobile phones, I dont think it will be a walk in the park quite the opposite, But i reckon we can win it and we must go into it thinking that.
Come on you Reddss i have got butterflies already aint been this nervous since palarse at home las year

That's why his name will be in lights. 12/1 anytime scorer with William Hill. Top tip right there. ;-)
Betfair seem certain it'll be 1-1 or 2-1 either direction. Me too.
I've gone for (and i'll be happy with) a 1-1 draw. Think we can beat them at home on current form. I'd go with Forster to partner Burton up front, simply because a Swindon fan said on here the other day that he always scores against them.
with Parky saying he'd be happy with a 0-0 and then a 1-0 on Monday I just hope we don't go there in a negative frame of mind. If we do I can see a 2-0 or even 3-0 defeat leaving us too much to do at The Valley. In all the Championship play off games the away teams have been very positive and we need to be too on Friday otherwise I fear we will leave ourselves too much to do.

Since Millwall our away results have been:
1-1
1-0
0-1
1-1
2-0
So i don't think Parky is about to go all out attack. This first leg will be about containment, get at least a draw then finish them off at home. With away goals not counting double there's no need to be overly attacking

Aggregate total: 3-2 or 2-1 Charlton... very very tight
All to play for at a sell out Valley

I'm heading to the first leg on my own, as a sign of tru commitment to the cause.
I will sing my heart out and i hope all of us do. I believe we can do this.
Remember the days of glory, remember the days we went to swindon and sang our charlton hearts out.
Wembley is in our grasp.

I make that the 7th time you have now told us you are going alone. tho someone might correct me on that as i may have missed a few of your other ones.
Even though it was a bit mean, that did just make me laugh out loud!
he forgot to mention he wants a scarf waiting on the coach for him
