Be nice to finally get a home win and with confidence at a relative high we should be ok. Lavelle will do his best to show what we let go but I think it will be a thumping 1-0 win to the Addicks.
I've got my 13 year old grandson and three of his mates tickets in the North Lower for tomorrow. My grandson is already an Addick. His three mates support Arsenal, spurs and Liverpool. I shall do my best to convince them that Charlton is the way forward. Get them hooked early enough and they can have a lifetime of suffering like the rest of us.
Saw Carlisle recently. They like to attack down the flanks. They'll not afraid of lumping it either, but throughout they lack quality. Running at them with a bit of pace will probably be enough, as they are slow at the back and easily turned. But they won't give up, so we'll need the game put of sight by 85 minutes...
I’m going for our first consecutive league wins of the season! I’m sure Nathan will rotate the squad giving Karoy Anderson and perhaps even Daniel Kanu resting on the bench.
A bit left field, but may be the kind of game to include Louis Watson. We're expecting to have a lot more of the ball than Carlisle so it's more a question of if we can do anything with it.
Hopefully in a game like this Louis's apparent lack of work rate shouldn't hurt us too much but the creativity could be an asset.
Not sure Jones will go for it though as if Louis isn't the best trainer as has been rumoured, he'd probably not want to set the precedent that you can give less than 100% and be included in matchdays.

Freddie Ladapo might be licking his lips - he made Lavelle look like a carthorse when he scored against us at the Valley for Ipswich in that very memorable 4 - 4 game.
This could be the biggest test yet of the degree to which NJ has changed the team. It has banana skin written all over it and a defeat would undo much of the good work in the last 6 games. As much a must win as Cheltenham, if we can get the 3 points today, as we should against the bottom side, we can start to breathe a little easier. And an intense, pressing performance should be too much for Carlisle and will show yet again the influence NJ and his methods have had on the players. COYR!!

Not seen Freddie move like that since being with us.
I think our fans are taking some frustrations out at Lavelle and targeting him a bit unnecessary. He was bang average but we have dropped even further down the league without him, so I struggle to be cocky/smug about him.
In terms of resting players, I'm sure Jones will have the fitness data to inform his decisions. I wouldn't want Kanu dropped unless he really does need a rest. I have a strong belief there is another level for him in terms of scoring goals and playing games will speed up that process.
I’d like to think we’ve got enough to see off Carlisle without Chuks, so even if he’s available for the bench I hope we don’t see him today. Let Connor Wickham fill that roll off the bench. If Chuks has a niggle we all know he’s not the sort to run it off. Let him rest it properly. Having him remain fit until the summer so he can have a proper pre season might just mean we have him fit and ready for what could be a very important and interesting next season.

I really hope Chuks has seen proper 'world leading' specialists. He must have done, surely?

Is Connor Wickham actually fit enough to be able to play some part in the game today?
My first trip to The Valley this season, feeling guilty as I’ve been to White Hart Lane a few times this year, apologies all…guaranteed loss now…
You’ll find the Valley has been improved quite a bit since you last came last year and things like having more breathing space between you and the persons around you for instance is vastly superior to what you would have been experiencing at WHL

He's not played a game all season.

Only one Aneke … don’t need more players that can’t play 90minutes.

4-1 Charlton

3-1. We are to clean sheets as a 14 year old lad is when he finds his dads porn mags.

Riverside, Anchor in hope lane.
We are heading in the right direction but desperately need 3 more points today.
