Hmm - how do you fire up a team when it's already promoted as champions? Hopefully, the suggestion above that the players will be playing to cement their place in the team next season will come into the equation.
Sounds like Preston are in disarray so anything could happen.
I'd like to see some of our squad players given a run out, but I think Powelly sees things differently and will stick with putting out his strongest 11. After the season we've had it's obvious he knows best.
1-1 Westley has plotted our defeat before, PNE don't score or concede many, I expect some regulars will be rested so we won't be at our best, then again s#d the usual pessimism we'll win 4-0 with Haynes, Solly, Cook and Waggy scoring.
Mid table Preston against already Champions us. Who has the most on this game? Us for the ton or Preston for, what? I'm going for another clean sheet for us and a couple going in at the other end. 0-2.
Nicholas - that team looks about right if SCP wants to reward some of the squad players with a game as suggested yesterday in his interview - but I wouldn't expect any loanees to appear unless he's hopeful of securing them for next season.
We will field a strong side and won't concede from open play. If we get an early goal it'll open the floodgates, 0-4, otherwise it is my usual charlton, 0-1. COYR
Yet another opportunity for my old CAFC to shine through. Hype, expectation, larger than usual away crowd, it's got to be a let down has it not? But hold on, NOT this team of Addicks. I predict a 0-1 win and continued amazement in the Soapy household.
Would like to see a few changes give a few of the squad a go.

I think this is dead right, maybe with the exception SCP may decide to play Euell! Which I would personally love to see. Also, MAYBE he might play Alonso, who I am really not too sure about. We will see.
The players selected will hopefully play with a bit of freedom, with the pressure off, thus enabling their ability to shine through enough for us to avoid defeat at the very least.
Wiggins and Morro are ever present, I imagine they'd both want to play the last 2 games, which complicated squad rotation slightly, as Taylor and Evina deserve a game.

5-2 to the champions.
No pressure.

Powell said: “Really you’ve got to look at it that the players have done ever so well this year and a few of them have dipped in and played a few games and come out and had to be patient, maybe not played too much as well.
“So I will definitely take that into account with regards to the team because I know against Hartlepool really the players who have played the majority of the year and have played such pivotal parts in our season, I feel it is only right they play and be involved in that game.
“I will look at one or two players who can come into the equation against Preston.”
3-1 Charlton!
