Tonight we welcome Peterborough United to The valley, in a very nice 6th position in the league, and looking to hit the 50 mark by 10.00 pm...
Peterborough sit in 20th spot, just four points outside the drop zone, and will no doubt be fighting for their lives tonight, fruitless exercise I am sure, but they have to give it a go, so we should be prepared for a battle anyway...

Nathan Jones has a fully fit squad to choose from again, whilst Posh will be without Jadel Katongo, Rio Adebisi, and their leading league scorer this season Kwame Poku...

We've clashed on 29 previous occasions, winning nine, Posh 12 and the remaining eight encounters resulting in draws, Posh ran out 2-1 victors at The Valley when the sides last met in January 2024...

This is a real opportunity to put some daylight between us and what we can now call "The chasing pack", and we do really need to take advantage of it now, so COYR let's nail this one tonight...

Here we go...

Team news...

Conor Coventry will make his 50th appearance for the Addicks this evening as Nathan Jones names an unchanged lineup from the side that beat Stevenage 2-0 at The Valley on Saturday.

Karoy Anderson returns to the bench after missing Saturday's game due to personal reasons.

The Addicks again line-up with Kayne Ramsay, Lloyd Jones and Macaulay Gillesphey in a back three in front of Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

Thierry Small and Josh Edwards will operate as wing-backs with Coventry, Luke Berry and skipper Greg Docherty making up a midfield trio behind Matty Godden, who has scored in each of the Addicks last three games, and Tyreece Campbell.

Anderson is joined on the bench by Will Mannion, Alex Mitchell, Alex Gilbert, Miles Leaburn, Chuks Aneke and Daniel Kanu.

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; Ramsay, Jones, Gillesphey; Small, Coventry, Berry, Docherty (c), Edwards; Godden, T.Campbell

Subs: Mannion, A.Mitchell, Anderson, Gilbert, Leaburn, Aneke, Kanu

    Got Mitchell as cover, and we need to be more attacking from the bench, which we def are tonight...

    Dont need him tonight, given that Anderson is back after his absence.

    You do realise we can only have seven subs right? - Who would you drop to accommodate him?

    Especially as Edwards can slot in at LCB as well

    I guess defence is something you can't just slot into as easily as if your in the wrong place it can cost a goal

    Anderson for Macintyre makes sense. We have three players starting who can play full back and four who can play centre back. No need for two more defenders on the bench, imo. Karoy offers a more defensive option as a midfielder if something happens to Coventry or Doc and he could also probably do an emergency makeshift job at full back or centre back in a crisis. I think he adds some balance to the bench and he's had some god cameos recently when used as a sub.

    We don't need 2 CBs on the bench, so I've no problems with that change

    Golfie: We never have enough strikers or attacking options on the bench.

    Also Golfie: Why we not using 2CBs in our 7 options of subs.

    Let's hope that "confident" is the right word. After reading about Huddersfield's current injury crisis, it struck me that NJ needs to be pretty damn grateful for the work that's gone on in the medical/fitness dept.,  resulting in a virtually full strength squad to choose from in the middle of Feb. But so long as he is listening to the medical advice, it's otherwise difficult to criticise an unchanged XI after the performance on Saturday.

    O.Wallin has recovered well for them considering the after effects of Saturday night for him

    Better chance of 3 points tonight so makes sense to focus on this game and then let Saturday take care of itself.

    No keeper has been allocated the number 1 shirt and those players with numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 10 have become fixtures in the starting line up with 4 & 11 currently regulars on the bench. So, if we believe that NJ now has the team he always believed would take us forward (and therefore input so far as numbers allocated are concerned) then there is one obvious exception to that.

    Empty ground on a cold Tuesday is such a buzzkill. Had a shit two days of work and can see where this one’s going :-(
