Burton Albion v Charlton Athletic
Tuesday 27th November 2018 … 7:45pm Kick-Off
Referee: Ross Joyce (Cleveland)
Introduction
If October was our poorest month this season then November has to have been one of the best – Despite having played just three league games this month, the Addicks have a 100% record and are once again looking upwards on their quest to return to the Championship at the third attempt.
Saturday saw Charlton putting in a professional display as they despatched Bristol Rovers 3-1, that win against the Pirates moves us to within six points of the automatic spots. It means that tomorrows trip to Burton Albion could well be a chance for us to take advantage of our rivals, two of whom face each other, it’s an opportunity we must take, there ain’t gonna be many!!
The Opposition
Name: Burton Albion | Manager: Nigel Clough
Ground: Pirelli Stadium
If there is one bonus to playing in the third tier then it’s an opportunity to play some sides that we either rarely face or have never faced at all – So far this season its been a chance to visit Accrington Stanley for the first time, whilst in the FA Cup we saw a first meeting against Mansfield Town since 1978.
Tomorrows clash against Burton Albion is yet another first to an extent as these two sides have never met in the League and have never met at the Pirelli Stadium and so will be another ground for many a fan to tick off, having spent the majority of their history as a Non-League side (the two clubs met at the Valley for an FA Cup clash in 1958); Burton have risen to the giddy heights of the Championship, there they’ve spent the last two years impressively fighting with a minute budget against some of England’s most historic clubs… Relegation after the second season would see a return to League One where they will look to avoid a Yeovil and so endure a double relegation!!
Because before a ball had been kicked, a second relegation looked likely – With a small budget (even at this level), club legend: Nigel Clough has had a struggle on his hands to attract players, that ship appears to have been steadied though and the Brewers now find themselves in the congestion of mid table, with just two defeats since mid October our opponents tomorrow could slowly be clicking into gear.
Charlton Team News
When the squad was announced against Bristol Rovers am sure there were many a fan worrying about the absence of Billy Clarke, after the match; Lee Bowyer would confirm that the midfielder is still some way from match sharpness so you’d expect his absence to remain until next Saturdays clash in the FA Cup… Saturday saw Jamie Ward scoring his first goal in Charlton colours yet as with past midweek clashes you’d expect him to be rested with Tariqe Fosu coming into the side
Prediction
Having been a Championship side last year, you’d honestly expect better from a Burton Albion side who under Nigel Clough will be difficult to beat – This has been an impressive month though for Lee Bowyer and his Addicks side and see no reason why another three points cant be recorded against a side who lost heavily at Blackpool on Saturday

called 3-1 on saturday, so ill go for a 2-2 draw which ill be happy with0

Please don't play Bielik and Lapslie together in midfield again. That way drudgery lies1

Burton are difficult at home, their record hasn’t been the best through the whole season but they’ve beaten some decent sides at home this season, including Sunderland.
I think that we will make 3/4 changes and that we will have to be cute on a smaller pitch. It’s important to stay compact, but Burton’s defence is on the slow side, so we really could hurt them on the counter-attack, especially with our great pace up front. They play a 4-3-3 and have Stephen Quinn in the midfield so we know they can create chances, they will play with a lot of width too so that is something we must deal with.
However, I think we will have too much for them and with Taylor back, that helps us massively. I also think that Fosu is going to score too. A close first half but our pace gets the better of them later on in the game.Steer

Agree with your line up Sage... Would agree with Leuth as well in hoping that we dont play Bielik and Lapslie in midfield tomorrow - I would have gone with Reeves in my line up but bit hesitant with Bowyer's comments about him.
Liam Boyce will be another of theirs to watch out for as well as Quinn (who I hope isnt as good as he used to be)3 -
Another new ground to watch Charlton at tomorrow and proper terracing one again. Some decent pubs up there and looking forward to those and something on the pitch from a tough place to get anything at. A point would be a good return.0
-
I also think Bowyer has to choose between Solly and Dijksteel and play either Sarr or Stevenson at left-back. We currently can't attack down our left properly2
-
Tight game, we’ll have just enough to make it a perfect month and see bowyer get manager of the month.
0-1 Bauer0 -
Hard fought draw .. and I'll be pleased with that

That's a bit harsh, there have been games where Solly has gotten up and down that flank and provided an outlet pretty well. Obviously he has the problem of always checking back on to his right foot. But we've still been able to create some overloads down that side, especially with Taylor pulling out wide and getting Aribo forward.Leuth said:I also think Bowyer has to choose between Solly and Dijksteel and play either Sarr or Stevenson at left-back.

I wouldn't disagree with bringing Sarr back in. I think it was harsh to drop him in the first place.7 -
2 - 1 to us, Taylor and Pearce with the goals.0

It'll be interesting is there's any squad rotation tomorrow (other than Taylor for presumably Ajose). Marshall might come in for Lapslie, if Reeves isn't fit to start0
-
Comfortable away 4-0.1
-
Albie Morgan was on the bench on Saturday presumably because Reeves isn't fit.
Straight swap between him and Lapslie? Would add creativity.0 -
3pm kick off?2

Taylor back to replace Ajose
Marshall to replace Lapslie.

Morgan and Clarke both start for the under 23s today so will not be included in the squad tomorrow4
-
Clarke looked nowhere near ready last Tuesday, Morgan also playing for the U23s suggests that Reeves will be in the squad tomorrowblackpool72 said:Morgan and Clarke both start for the under 23s today so will not be included in the squad tomorrow

With Hackett-Fairchild not playing today for the U23s, he will almost certainly be in the squad tomorrow night.0

He's looked properly, irredeemably useless every time I've seen him, and I attend Checkatrade games so I've seen quite a bit of him. God knows what they see in himSage said:With Hackett-Fairchild not playing today for the U23s, he will almost certainly be in the squad tomorrow night.

Wouldn't be surprised if we won - but would definitely take a draw (2-2)?0

I'd be amazed if they weren't available, the match won't sell out, and it's not exactly a grudge match where no tickets will be available on the night, on police orders!altrinchamaddick said:Does anyone know if away tickets can be purchased on the night.

Charlton fans can pay in cash for the away terrace - the Russell Roof Tiles sand.0 -
They have about as many injuries as us. Must be confident, 0-2 win to close the gap above0
