always a good game v Sunny and this will be no exception especially as I expect a new manager bounce for us and a decent team selection and tactical nous at last. 4 4 2 please Jonny .. Henderson in goal and Davison alongside Stockley up front, a pairing which was never tried by Adkins so far as I can remember .. Clare, Gilbey and Arter in the midfield .. Jaiyesemi is our most dangerous winger and should play, no Leko, he's flattered to deceive so far this season .. @ForeverAddickted's back four looks decent , Famewo has become a bit of a liability and Pearce for all his limitations should come in, Souare has pace and not a lot else, Purry for me
Sunderland are in good form home and away though inconsistent Pompey put 4 past them at Fratton Park .. they have become a hard nosed, hard to beat team and McGeady is still pulling the strings at the age of 76 (ish) I expect at least a point and a win would not surprise me, we are due a big one
Jackson really has to set us up differently, if he wants to stamp his authority as being very different to how Adkins was before it needs to happen immediately.
This could be a formation change or a complete personel change. Maybe bringing some players in from the cold or promoting a youth player or two.
Either it goes really well and we play a spirited 90 minutes, but probably still lose, or the changes just confuse the team and we get hammered.

Hoping for a spirited and battling draw.
We have a big squad giving him plenty of options. Agree about bringing in youth players & players back in from the cold.
The likes of Dobson, DJ & Elerewe are all good options to bring back into the fold.
It will also be interesting to see who he picks most as our full backs. None of Gunter, Matthews, Souare or Purrington have played well and claimed a full back spot as their's so far.
No free hits in this League, especially when you are in the relegation places. Every single point must be fought for & there can be no sloppy mistakes or not taking your chances.
No idea of the line up but I bet JJ wont be going gun-ho. Expect a few changes from Tuesday (why break a habit) and I expect it wont be the same as many on here predict. In a funny way I reckon we'll win this.
1-2 and we come back from Wearside with the points once again.
Can’t see us getting anything out of this. Our players just can’t defend
I think they probably can in a different system. Purrington certainly can, and has shown it in big matches in the past, but no full back can defend with a three man midfield and wingers that don't track back. Hopeful they'll be less exposed tomorrow with a different formation. I can't see how you can play Leko and CBT at the same time unfortunately. I suspect we'll put up a good fight but end up narrow losers, just like the 2-1 in 2018 when Taylor scored the penalty on his debut. A win would be a massive massive boost to morale though.
Not a great time to be a Sunderland fan, first the Saudis take over the black and white stripey team down the road and then Jackson’s red and white army rocks up for a 3-0 win to their nemesis team.
Jackson had a dream To build a football team With Sandgaard’s backing he’ll bring the good times home With Mac at the back and Stockley in attack We’re Charlton Athletic We’re on our way back
Woke up this morning feeling fine I’ve got Charlton on my mind Jackson’s got us playing the way we should, oh yeah Something tells me I’m into something good

We deserve to get relegated if we start singing this
Maybe the level of performance is more important than the result, sounds like a daft thing to say but we need to establish a way of playing that suits the squad. Narrow 2.1 defeat.

100% agree for me the result tomorrow isnt the important thing I want to see a different plan than what we have had so far this season. As I said earlier on it will be interesting if it happens if so it was obviously Adkins plan if it doesnt then someone else is behind it.

I just hope we don’t play 433, we constantly get caught out down the flanks and through the middle. Just keep it simple two banks of 4 and 2 up top. Simples

Im convinced we don’t lose this, new manager bounce, Sunderland on 100% home record, it points to us nicking a point.
I don't expect anything other than a defeat though, it's too early for any major change in performance levels
Can't see a lot of personnel changes but maybe a change of formation and a team playing for each other and the shirt.

To build a football team
With Sandgaard’s backing he’ll bring the good times home
With Mac at the back and Stockley in attack
We’re Charlton Athletic
We’re on our way back
I’ve got Charlton on my mind
Jackson’s got us playing the way we should, oh yeah
Something tells me I’m into something good
