Now, after the farce of the last couple of Cup Matches, it's back to the important stuff of good old League One...
Today we entertain Cambridge United, who sit in 18th, with the same goals against, but only half the goals scored when you compare our two records, and having lost their last three games...however they now have good old Neil Harris in charge, and we are his first game as head coach, so let's just make sure we send him packing with his tail between his legs back from whence he came empty handed...
This is one of those "must win" games, and I don't see anything other than three more points onto our tally come 5pm today...

Here we go...

Academy prospect Henry Rylah will make his full league debut in today's clash with Cambridge

Michael Appleton has made three changes from that team that played Reading on Wednesday, with Terell Thomas, Chem Campbell and Corey Blackett-Taylor all returning to the starting XI.

Lloyd Jones misses out with a minor quad injury, while Louie Watson and Tyreece Campbell move to the bench.

Deji Elerewe is also named as a substitute

The Addicks are expected to continue in a 4-3-3 formation with Tennai Watson, Michael Hector, Thomas and Tayo Edun lining up in front of Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

Chem Campbell is joined by captain George Dobson and Scott Fraser in midfield, behind a front three of Rylah, Alfie May and Blackett-Taylor.

Louie Watson, Tyreece Campbell and Elerewe are joined on the bench by Sam Walker, Daniel Kanu and Micah Mbick.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; T.Watson, Hector, Thomas, Edun; Dobson (c), Fraser, C.Campbell; Rylah, May, Blackett-Taylor

Subs: Walker, Asiimwe, Elerewe, L.Watson, T.Campbell, Kanu, Mbick


Good to see Dobson and CBT are fit and ready to go..Also, congratulations to Henry Rylah on his league starting debut

    That's a weak starting 11 and an even weaker bench.

    Hopefully Fraser continues where he left off on Wednesday otherwise Dobson will be flagging late on.

    Shame that they have the aerial ability of someone 3ft 6.
    Closely followed by this. Thomas' weaknesses are when he's run at and Hector's is his overambition on the ball. Both are great in the air

    Like that line up - very attacking. We might let some goals in but we'll score a few too. 

    4-2

    No, looking at train times back to Manchester as we speak.

    Looks like panic if suddenly selected Chem, but no doubt "he's trained excellently".

    Watson has been very diffident of late. If Chem was dropped for something similar it's only fair to apply the same standards throughout

    I didn't realise Deji had been recalled from Bromley. When did that happen? Dobbo, Fraser and Chem in midfield is an interesting choice. Fraser is going to have to be on his tackling back form from Wednesday or Dobbo is going to be overwhelmed.

    Appleton sounds very despondent in this interview.

    37 minutes ago per Twitter.

    I mean probably in the last couple of days it was just posted right around the time the team was announced
