    Church is unfit. He should come off the bench. Piggott in.
    We lose 0 - 1

    god knows with this one - after all its a cup match...but I'll stick my neck out and go for a 2-0 win for the addicks. I cant do the match thread as i'm on a late shift, so perhaps someone can step in for me. I'll be back Saturday for the Boro game.

    Church needs game time so will definitely start. Sordell looked a bit short of match fitness too so I reckon they will both start. Not sure bout the rest and it doesn't really matter as we will lose anyway, probably after extra time and pens and I will get home about 1.30am again thoroughly cheesed off.

    Covered End Junior's 1st game was at home to Oxford in The League Cup.

    We lost on pens.

    I expect the same to happen tomorrow :-)

    Wilson Woods Cort Evina
    Green Stephens Hollands Harriott
    Yann Sordell

    We will make a hard job of beating a team 2 divisions lower than us, but 2 late goals will make the scoreline look a comfortable 3 1.

    Last summer, as usual, I was getting twitchy and couldn't wait for the new season to start. The first game, you'll remember, was home to Orient in the League Cup. When it went to extra-time I groaned - I wanted that rubbish to be over and done with.

    Echoes of 2002, when I popped down to The Valley one fine evening to watch us get knocked out by this outfit on penalties!
    Our stupid cup form does annoy me, especially when we don't seem to like using home advantage (no change there!).
    Anyway, I am looking for a turnaround in this respect and think this time we will do it! Wembley beckons!!!

    Surely we're due a cup run by now?

    Big bet on Oxford to qualify. We don't bother with the cups

    After years and years of cup embarrassment and equally years of saying never again I am finally taking my own advice and staying at home. Therefore I predict a very comfortable home win.

    We should bearing in mind the strength of this league this season look to make sure we stay in the championship and avoid relegation. If we make the play offs we will have over achieved. we should look to go as far as we can in both cup competitions and field our strongest team ALWAYS.

    I get the impression that this is not going to be a sell out crowd. Any predictions? 5,254

    Wrap Kermy in cotton wool and play whoever
    21st or above is my priority for the season so anything else is a bonus
    3-1 Charlton and the "we're gonna win the League and League Cup" freak show can replace the "we're going down , we're going bust" fruits

    I go with your prediction and team but swap Yann for Church

    I'm looking forward to this.
    But then I'm an annoying optimist.
    I would like to see a couple of the kids get a go too.
    COYR!!!

    pretty much a full strength squad I hope .. Oxford had a good win on Saturday and will be well up for this. Our cup record is embarrassing, we need a win to earn a few quid in the next rounds and to restore some cup credibility

    I'm going along tonight, deluded into thinking we may actually beat lower league opposition at home in the League Cup. That will wear off by 10pm and I'll remember that not a single soul at Charlton cares about this competition, fans included. Roll on Saturday.

    Sorry to pull you up on this, but his name is Wood NOT Woods.

    As a fellow Wood, I effin hate it when people address me as Woods. Why do people always want to add an 's' grrrr!

    Mind you when I was younger everyone of course called me Woody including my teachers.
