Charlton are unbeaten in five against Bolton, winning two and drawing three. Bolton have not won at the Valley since October 2005, losing three of the four trips since (D1). Charlton have won just twice in their last 16 league fixtures (D3 L11). Bolton have won just one of their last 25 league fixtures, beating Wolves in September (D11 L13). The Trotters have the lowest conversion rate in the Championship (7.0%).
from the bbc. one of the few times the opposition stats have been worse than us this season I reckon

That's impressive, they do seem to draw a lot of games though whereas we don't.
I'd definitely try Mak and Lookman together up front. I like height and pace posing different problems for defenders. Holmes Dennis and Solly should be able to give us width at home to the bottom team. I'd go if fit, Henderson, Solly, Holmes-Dennis, Diara, Lennon, BA, Cousins, JJ, JBG, Lookman, Mackienok would have offensive options on the bench too with Reza and Vas Te. I'm assuming Bauer had a two game ban - if not I'd swap Diara for Ba and bring him back in.
Henderson, Solly,Diarra,Lennon,THD Jackson, Cousins, Ba JBG, Reza, Lookman
We looked dangerous when we got out wide and stretched Leeds on Saturday, by playing gudmunsson further forward it allows him to collect the ball further up the pitch, hes our flare player who can make things happen so we need to get the ball to him and Lookman as much as poss. We looked dangerous on Saturday but failed to be clinical.
If we lose I seriously think we will struggle in the Xmas period with our thin squad, against difficult teams away from home. Enjoy
On a train from cannon street. Horrible night out there. Tempted to stay on the train and go home. But of course I won't. Sucker for punishment that I am. Will be surprised if there are more than about 7k actually attendees there tonight.

Anyone think this could be the lowest attended home games in years? Bolton won't bring more than 300-400, plus it's raining. 6k I reckon
