Just 27 comments in the 'post-match views' thread but another 27 pages of bollox in the takeover thread about who was in the directors box and then 15 pages more about what some bloke in the upper north said whose uncle works with a geyser who knows someone whose sister-in-law went out with a bloke at a property company that might be the one buying Charlton because they were standing by the office water-cooler and isn't it a coincidence they were all talking about football....

• Excluding the abandoned game on 24 August, these clubs have only met six times previously with all six second-tier league games; Charlton have won four and Doncaster two.
• They were most recently in the Championship together in 2008-09, when the away team won both games.
• Doncaster have failed to score in half of their meetings with the Addicks.
Charlton Athletic
• The Addicks, one place and three points above the bottom three, have followed a five-match unbeaten run with back-to-back defeats, and are in danger of suffering three successive league losses for the second time in two months.
• Chris Powell's side have not won in five home league games, and have registered only one league victory at The Valley this season; 2-1 against Leicester on 31 August.
• Charlton have scored first in a divisional-low four matches, and have netted only 12 Championship goals in total, two more than the lowest scorers, Yeovil.
Doncaster Rovers
• Rovers, two places and two points superior to Charlton, followed a four-match winless run with Friday's 2-1 home victory over rock-bottom Yeovil.
• They are now seeking their first back-to-back league wins of the season, and their first consecutive victories at this level since New Year's Day in 2011.
• Paul Dickov's side are the joint-lowest scorers away from home in the Championship, with only five goals in seven games; identical to Wigan's return.
• Doncaster are also the most vulnerable side in the last 15 minutes of Championship games, when they have conceded a divisional-high 11 of their 24 goals.
Bit early to be calling matches like this a 6 pointer but I fear that it actually is one :-(
Got to get out of the blocks quick tonight and take the game to them somehow as I think they will be really fired up for this one given what happened in August.
I've been told by a Doncaster fan to look out for Duffy. 1-1 I reckon, I'd forgotten about it until the end of last week but I'm quite up for this match.

I remember sitting in a bar in Spain when the original match was played being very bemused! I hope that this isn't going to be a repeat!

2-0 addicks. Kermy and Stephens.
There is good support throughout but the second goal by Stephens in the 87th minute sparks a huge chant from covered end of "you only win when you're swimming" causing Dickov to admit that the tidal wave of noise throughout the game drowned out the Doncaster fans and could have been a reason for the loss. He goes on to say how maybe after the drubbing earlier on in the season of Charlton that he had dived in too strongly with too much confidence in a very attacking synchronised swimming formation. Dickov rues that perhaps a career in managing a water polo team is for him.
In other news BreamTeam are returning to the big screen tonight for a sopecisl rendition of FEEEEEEESSHH!!

Charlton away tonight, pitch inspection due at 3-0 #DRFC #cafc
SCP going to see this as a 'go-for-it' game and after Saturday, needs to create far more. Can't play one up front at home to Doncaster.
This trickle could turn into a flow...
match abandoned in 64th minute due to smoke from toilets engulfing the pitch.
