Summer signing Richard Wood will be among the CAFC XI that takes on Ebbsfleet United at Stonebridge Road on Sunday (3pm).

Speaking after Saturday’s home pre-season friendly against Inverness Caledonian Thistle at The Valley, Addicks boss Chris Powell indicated that he was intending to send a strong squad to face the club’s non-League Kent neighbours.

Those players who didn’t start against the Scottish Premier League side are likely to do so at Stonebridge Road, so Wood, Leon Cort, Danny Hollands, Lawrie Wilson, Danny Green and Cedric Evina are all expected to be involved.

Ebbsfleet are this season managed by hugely popular former Charlton defender Steve Brown, with ex-Addicks joint boss and Valley legend Steve Gritt as his assistant.

Tickets are £5 adults, £3 concessions and free for U12s, and are available from Stonebridge Road on the day.

    I don't think there are any trains to Northfleet today as there is engineering works,looks like a bus from Crayford/Slade Green/Barnhurst

    Looking forward to this one. First charlton psf this year. 2nd fleet one after watching them beat thamesmead.

    Brown have them playing attractive passing football compared to the long ball last year.
    Should be a good game.

    Can park in ebbsfleet international if trains are a mess...

    Didn't know Stevey Gritt was there with him. He should still be employed by us. A very knowledgable football man. Good luck to them.

    That's Jeremy Paxman.

    We're struggling for strikers, you know.

    A few interesting things about McGurk.

    "Birmingham boss Lee Clark has said he cannot sign Mark Little, Adam McGurk or Liam Davis because of financial reasons."

    Paxman was at Southend last year.

    Munns has played a few games for the academy thus season. Looks a decent player, but makes Solly look like a giant! Believe he was on the Spuds books.

    Stand corrected, Mike. Thanks.

    Of course Wiggins started and Evina replaced him during 2nd half.

    I like the look of Hollands and Cousins as the 2 CMs.

    Lots of energy and quick feet from Cousins.

    Lol a weekender ......

    Good job she wasn't born during season time

    One day is fair enough but two I think is pushing it !

    I'm sure if it was Simon Francis or McOxo doing the same during their time here no one would bat an eye lid !

    @CAFCofficial: Church has a chance in the opening minute with a run into the box, but pokes the ball harmlessly into the 'keepers hands (OG) #cafc

    @CAFCofficial: Point blank save! Green's long throw finds Church who's volley is saved brilliantly by Fleet 'keeper Edwards (OG) #cafc

    @NewsShopperSprt: McGurk, 24, started out his career with Villa but has spent most of it with Tranmere and was released at the end of last season #cafc

    @NewsShopperSprt: He has already been on trial at Birmingham this summer and scored in their pre-season 1-1 draw with Oxford #cafc

    @NewsShopperSprt: However, Blues unable to offer him a deal due to finances according to their boss Lee Clark and now he is out to impress at #cafc
