For a moment let's just forget that we hate our Belgium owner and say what we would consider a decent result. With Carol and Jase we will have no idea who will be in the team or the tactics so it is difficult. If Guy was still here I'd say a draw would be a good result but now I would not be unhappy if we scored a goal and they scored a couple, but anything worse or if we didn't score would not be good

Play for 0-0 and come away with 1-1
I think this is the way to go and mentioned it on another thread.
Cousins and Jackson sit deep allowing the full backs to go forward and support the front 4, thus keeping possession better in the final third (in theory)
I'm going for Boro 1 Charlton 2. They are riding high, won at Old Trafford, full of confidence and we are sinking like a stone, have not won for what seems like two years and very low on confidence so it's written in the stars that we will win.
As for the team, tactics etc then I havn't a clue but I'm confident Karel has and will set us up accordingly as hard to break down but with attacking intent on the break.
I expect to see something like -

Middlesbrough… A club from the North East formed in 1876, long before their rivals; Newcastle and Sunder In 1899 with the backing of Newcastle and Sunderland (Who both now exist), Middlesbrough joined the Football League, and amongst the ’92 they have remained ever since.

Diarra in front of the Centre Backs, great idea!
Great minds eh ! I'd prefer Diarra at CB but the only player I'd trust to play the anchorman and not go missing is Kashi and he's injured unfortunately.
Some positivity: we were suppose to lose against QPR and Hull, and win against Rotherham, Preston and Brentford. let us keep this up, supposed to get a tonking against Boro, as their once manager said: "we should win against little clubs like Charlton".
Anyone going to this has got to be either completely mental or just utterly desperate to not spend time with their family. Either way, I salute your unstinting loyalty - you really are the Charlton supporting equivalent of the first soldiers to rise out of the trenches and charge at the enemy! If any of you happen to be carrying a bayonet, and bump into Katrien on the train, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you where to insert it.
Boro will have a bit of fatigue from their exploits last night, and our boys will be keen to impress this week's head coach, so I'm betting on a routine 2-0 defeat, although I certainly wouldn't rule out a scoreline on a par with Arbroath 36 -0 Bon Accord.
Couple of bits of advice for anyone who hasn't been to Middlesbrough before - take your own oxygen, don't talk to any of the local people and under no circumstances touch any of the local people. It's a little known fact that the film 28 Days Later was actually released as a promotional video by the North Yorkshire Tourist Board.

I disagree with Moussa. I watched him on Saturday shuffle around in the wrong position, offering no protection to Fox, who was constantly overloaded 2v1 as the Brentford right back ran past him. that's on top of the glaring miss.

I don't disagree but I don't rate Bergdich and I'm not sure the current situation is conducive to throwing in THD. Suppose could switch Cousins there and bring Ba into midfield.

Mentioned above what I think of Moussa. THD is not yet ready to play wide midfield. Bergditch if you want stronger defence. Everton youngster if you want more attacking.

A 5-0 hammering for Rolys traveling circus.

Play for 0-0 and come away with 1-1
I am hoping for the former, perhaps with a bit of cup fatigue we may even nick something. There you go have talked my self in to predicting.
0-1 Charlton win
Think that's every base covered
Cousins and Jackson sit deep allowing the full backs to go forward and support the front 4, thus keeping possession better in the final third (in theory)
However... on Saturday I can't see past at least a 4-0 defeat
Boro to score very early
our performances have matched up to our away support in numbers (non league)
3-4 thrilling away victory
and i will be playing this loud and proud on my gramophone Saturday night
But I'm searching for my tin drawers as we speak.

The big one for me is MKD on Tuesday
