    Jack Payne has 7 assists already this season, keeping that man quiet has to be the first job

    We need to score first to have any chance of a point, let's hope the rain holds off and we can spray the ball around to effect.

    We are currently 8 points behind Wigan and Shrewsbury all be it with a game in hand.
    We can't allow that gap to get any bigger and I don't think we will.
    2.1 Charlton to keep us right in the mix.

    Not over worried about Shrewsbury, I can't see them staying clear in 2nd.

    Wigan must be favourites for the title, there are then several teams would could get 2nd, and we are one of them. Oxford are another though, so tomorrow will be a tough match.

    Solly and Clarke rested after playing a lot of games.

    We have complained about lack of squad depth for years now. We finally have it in some areas so we have to make use of it. Let's rotate now to reduce injuries over the season.

    Marshall to get 25 mins in the second half.

    Still nothing on buying on the day? Pretty poor for the club to have nothing about it.

    Think this is what we will go with too. Got a good feeling in me waters about this one, so guaranteed to get pumped, but, undeterred by my appalling predictions record, I'm going for 3-0 to the Addicks - reckon it's going to click nicely and we're built to do well away against teams who will look to attack us.

    Very unlike the club to lack communication.

    Contact Oxford, I am sure they will help you.

    Back in UK for my Dad's funeral (Charlton supporter since 1947) so would it would be nice to honour his decades of pessimism and frustration with a tidy away win.

    Never liked Oxford much as a city.

    Wigan must be favourites for the title, there are then several teams would could get 2nd, and we are one of them. Oxford are another though, so tomorrow will be a tough match.

    Just going to point out that I was the only one* to pick Wigan for the title in our preseason predictions.

    *Unless someone else did

    But yea, I think Shrewsbury will come back down to earth. I could see Wigan running away with it. To me it's about staying in and around the top 6. I think our quality will tell as the season goes on. But we've got a new system and new players and I still think there's an element of bedding in. I expect us to kick it up a gear as the season progresses.

    Blackburn are still the only team I really fear could nip in there and pinch 2nd spot... they've got a lot of Squad depth and love it every time I see them struggling (like Saturday v Oldham) as its three less points for them against us

    Shrewsbury I think will end up around 8th | Peterborough I think are too inconsistent (more so than us) and will hover around the Play-Offs (either getting a spot or missing out) - Same with Bradford, I think they'll end up in the Play-Offs because they dont score enough whilst Rotherham dont appear to have a good enough away record.

    At the moment I'd put the top five as:

    Wigan | Charlton | Bradford | Peterborough | Blackburn

    Who that sixth team will be... Who knows, this League usually ends up with about half a dozen teams, four our five points outside of the Play-Offs come the final few games of the season with anyone being able to nick it

    The main worry surely is that most other teams in with a chance will probably strengthen their squads come January.

    We on the other hand have the Roland factor to consider.

    I'll be in the Oxford end with my son in law. Be happy with a draw, but the deal is whichever of us finishes highest in the league will decide which ground my 4 month old grandson first get taken to.

    Get your daughter to sort him out!

    Blackburn have the Venky factor. Shrewsbury don't have the resources to make expensive signings, Fleetwood will lose Cole...

    Even with Devante Cole; Fleetwood look very hot and cold (beat Bradford 3-0 / lose 3-1 to Charlton in a week)

    Portsmouth didnt look great when they played Gillingham but with Kenny Jackett they have a damned good Manager!!

    Karl Robinson confirmed in his pre-match interview that Mark Marshall is likely to miss with the niggling injury that saw him miss Saturday’s win over Doncaster Rovers.

    Ben Reeves is fit an eligible for selection but Lewis Page will not be available after playing 60 minutes for the U23s on Monday afternoon. Harry Lennon remains sidelined.

    For Oxford, Joe Rothwell is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season on Saturday.

    Former Addick Jon Obika could return after recovering from a groin injury but Dwight Tiendalli and Gino van Kessel are out injured.

    Portsmouth have Pitman, who is very good at this level. But they don't have a very deep squad and even their first 11...I'm not so sure.

    But yeah generally agree I think this is going to be a year where anyone can beat anyone, and every team is going to have moments when they are erratic.

    The reason I'm less convinced by Blackburn is aforementioned Venky's factor, but also they have a lot of decent players, very solid League One players, but I'm not wholly convinced they have the match winners, the players with that little extra bit of quality like a Nick Powell/Will Grigg or Ricky Holmes/+1 (Fosu, Reeves, Marshall). Graham, Dack, and Wittingham all maybe have that potential, not sure Graham and Wittingham can be relied on at this stage in their careers, and from what I've seen Dack hasn't been starting of late and I don't know how well he'd do in a 4-4-2.

    I still think Blackburn will turn it on as the season progresses, I will be very surprised if they end up outside the playoffs.

    A shame that Marshall got back from his knee injury so quickly, but seems to have picked up a different problem. I bet he'll be desperate to be fit for the Bradford match
