If we still have Jackson & Buyens as our CM pairing we'll be lucky to get any sort of result, whoever is up front. Especially with Cousins as a left-winger, which Bob seems to like. Our midfield should be built around Gudmundsson, he's different class, and is wasted out on the right. Cousins is a good DM,or he used to be when he partnered Stephens in midfield. Whether or not he still is, considering how he's been messed around, remains to be seen. The same applies to Wilson, who has been messed around and now looks half the player he was last season, otherwise he'd be an automatic choice wide right. In the absence of a natural wide left player Jacko could do a job there.
Saturday's match will see ticket prices slashed to just £1 for U11s.
The ‘Kids for a quid’ promotion, that will be available for both home and away fans, will also see U18s prices drop to just £5 in any area.
The clash with Brighton has been classified as an Addicks Gold contest with Adult tickets starting at just £19 for Adults.
Depending on what zone supporters sit in tickets for the match are priced at £35, £32, £28, £24 or £19 for adults and £26, £24, £19, £17 or £15 for concessions and U21s.
Disabled adults can purchase tickets for £25, £22 or £19, disabled over 60s and U21s for £19, £16 and £13 while adult wheelchair users can buy tickets for £19 – a price that includes a free helper. With a higher demand expected than usual, supporters hoping to use Valley Express will need to book their place at the same time as they purchase a match ticket or already be a Red Card member or season ticket holder. Meanwhile the British Transport Police have informed the club that they anticipate widespread rail problems ahead of Saturday’s clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.
There will be no trains running to or from Charlton from London Bridge, London Charing Cross or London Cannon Street on Saturday and those who usually travel to The Valley by train may need to seek an alternative route.
Trains from the above stations will now also not be running to Lewisham but there will be a rail replacement bus service running from Lewisham Station to Charlton.
Two trains per hour at 05 and 35 minutes past the hour will run between London Victoria and Charlton with a journey time of around 25 minutes.
There will be trains from Blackfriars to Charlton at 20 minutes and 50 minutes past the hour calling at Lewisham and Blackheath with a journey time of around 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, replacement buses will run between Haywards Heath and Brighton/Lewes and the Bedford to Brighton services will not run between Haywards Heath and Brighton. London Bridge to Brighton services will not run and replacement buses will run between Three Bridges/Haywards Heath and Brighton.

Good news for you, Buyens will not playing due to red card last week.
Addicks to win 2-0..... as things stand, unless my Dr says otherwise tomorrow, I'll be back doing the match thread on Saturday....I really hope I can do it...I'm looking forward to being back after such a long lay-off......but at least I'm alive so I'm not complaining.....hope to see you on here on Saturday...COYR's
Pleased to hear you are on the mend. I only attend home games and avidly follow your match threads for away games.
Depends largely on who is fit I think, new manager syndrome for them but hopefully it's not enough, battling performance from us and a home win, peeters safe for now.
Bad feeling about this. Chris Hughton is a good manager, would like to see him manage us one day. Plus despite needing reinforcements we've only signed Watt and a keeper who won't be ready to be chucked straight in.
Etheridge Solly Bikey TBH Fox Wilson Cousins Jacko JBG Tucudean Igor 4-3-3 Bob won't throw Watt straight in, and Moussa starting 2-3 months after being is very fanciful thinking. No chance
Oh dear I don't have high hopes for this one as Brighton have a new manager and appear to have found a bit of form unlike us who are on the slide. Never mind I'll go for (another) 1-1 draw.
0-2 to the most northern team in england (according to dale stevens)
Can you spell his name right please... Dont want his lack of navigation sense being associated with my own surname branch of Stevens when he should be with the Stephens

This is our best possible line up given injuries and suspensions and it looks very weak.
A game of two halves between two teams that will be looking to get points. This could go either way. I'm not one to sit on the fence so I can see a Charlton win. On the other hand, Brighton could come good, but I would not rule out a draw in this one.
Think we are in disarray with injuries, suspensions, players in the huff (allegedly). Brighton have new manager bounce. Think it will be a long afternoon and a defeat. But I've been wrong before........
Brighton have won their last 2 away games in London 2-0 and i cant see things changing here. 2-0 to Brighton.
Hope not but things usually don't go well when they do those ticket promotions, that and the fact that Brighton have a new manager means it will probably end in tears....I'll go for a 2-2 draw though....also it will be our best crowd of the season so far....21-22,000.

Bob is a tactical genius again and the coffee tastes good.
The new VOTV is lauded by one and all.
We are on a bad run, the football is not great, give the guy time(and his players this January window).
Continuity brings success not a new manager every bloody season.
