Big game today. Worried that Pompey may well be up for it more than us - automatics still their aim and we’ve all but resigned ourselves to the play-offs.

We ain't made it to them yet...so no excuse's really...
Charlton boss Lee Bowyer has made one change to the side that drew at sixth-placed Doncaster Rovers last weekend for today’s clash against play-off rivals Portsmouth at The Valley.
Anfernee Dijksteel, who was one of the Addicks' star players when Charlton beat Pompey in December, comes in for Chris Solly, ahead of a week where Charlton have games on Tuesday and Saturday.
There is also a place on the bench from Josh Parker who returns after missing two games with illness and on the back of netting twice for the U23s last week.
Charlton are once again expected to line-up in a diamond formation with Dillon Phillips in goal behind a defence of Anfernee Dijksteel, skipper Patrick Bauer, Naby Sarr and Ben Purrington.
Krystian Bielik will likely anchor in midfield with Josh Cullen and Joe Aribo ahead of him. Jonny Williams is expected to play behind the front two of Igor Vetokele and Lyle Taylor.
I meant to write in the preview thread that I thought Dijksteel would come in for Solly. He's bigger and quicker against a team with quick wingers who like to put the ball in the box (started down there as well). I also think Solly has been underwhelming since returning to right back.
The nice thing about matches on Sky is that it means I get to reunite with one of the most confusing technology suites I've ever come across (and I've spent the last 7-8 years working with the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA)): ESPN's baffling suite of apps and permission tiers.

Barnsley winning, Luton drawing.

Substitutes: Maxwell, Solly, Pratley, Lapslie, Reeves, Fosu, Parker
I do hope you backed it boys and girls
Blackpool also losing.
All lost to teams lower in the table.
Sunderland have needed a 94th-minute equaliser, Luton drew 0-0.
Looking forward to fifth-placed Charlton taking on fourth-placed Pompey.
Lord Bowyer's Red & White Army.
Or is this not the right thread to ask.

3 men sent off in this game.
A total of 19 minutes injury time ..... 6 minutes at the end of the 1st half + 13 minutes at the end of the 2nd.
And people moan that the Charlton game is always last to finish. Well, it will be tonight!
In other news, I just went to the maritime museum to kill a few hours this afternoon. First time there. Nice place.
