I am feeling a bit more positive. I know we have key players out with injuries but Guy Luzon is a good manager and understands tactics. I reckon he will play this game more like an away fixture. Let Hull do all the attacking and we try and catch them out on the break. If it works a 1-0 win would be my prediction.
All depends on what team we are able to field. With Solly and Watt I'd be confident of a positive performance and an entertaining game against a good hull side with a chance of a positive result. If we have to make do and mend it'll possible be a cagy affair a la Peeters with us hoping to sneak something with a chance that we'll be comfortably overpowered. Hopefully Guy is playing mind games. Looking forward to it whatever the case.
I see that, having tipped us to lose every game so far, that eejit Ian Holloway (he of 'Ollie's Predictions' on the Sky website) says he is "not making that mistake again" and has tipped us to beat Hull 2-1. Not a good omen.
Because he's been so utterly useless so far (e.g.0/10 on the opening weekend and one correct in midweek), Mrs Holloway is also having a go. She predicts 3-1 to Hull.
Gonna miss this one due to a prior commitment and gutted. I think we will keep our unbeaten run going with a 1-0 win. You will all need to get to the ground early if you want a pie though with Steve Bruce in town.

Have they got any little Holloway pricks (children) who might be able to enlighten us with their opinion.
Even without the injuries this game was going to be tough. Hull are a good team with mostly premiership players. It will be a good test and we must not be too despondent if we lose. Bruce is annoying but anyone who walks out on Palace can't be all bad? 2-0 to Hull.
We've still got the spine of our team even if Solly and TWWW are injured. I have every faith in RCC and KAG if they come into the team. It'll be a tough match and we will create chances. The question is can we take them! I'm going for another draw.
Fancy us to play well, but who's going to score the goals? Need somebody to step up to the plate if Tone is out. 0-1 Hull. Hope to see Brucie on the train out of Charlton station again. Man of the people. Howaay, where's the tuck trolley

Huddersfield away last season was the last time he took charge of a Charlton game. 1-1 draw where he sent off Huddersfield's Murray Wallace.

451 - Pope - Charlie Cook Bauer Diarra Fox - Gudmonsson Kashi Ba Cousins - Ceballos - Makienok
If that goes Pete Tong....
352 - Pope - Bauer Diarra Sarr - Cousins Kashi Ba Gudmonsson Fox - Ceballos Makienok
Bath tubs...Jackson, A-Grant, THD, Lennon and a couple of kids for experience.
Play a tactical game and grind out a sneaky 1-0 win with a late Makienok header.

Big Dane, a CB and Solly.
Theirs is a pen.
2-0 to us.
Never usually bet on Charlton as most of my bets lose. The euphoria of our recent form led to a mental aberration of untypical optimism.

0-1 Hull.
