Maybe give Elliott Lee a rest for this one, play Watson, really shore things up, plus he can do headers when they win corners like when he won the FA Cup but at the other end
Harry Arter’s back in training and will be available soon 😉
I heard he was out for 10 months with cruciate ligament damage.

Getting a little buzz of excitement for this one as kick off draws nearer. Rotherham being pretty much bang in form is going to be a big test for us and will potentially be an indicator to show if JJ has got what he needs to secure himself the managers job full time.
Winning would be brilliant of course, a draw I would take in a heartbeat but even if we lose it would be the manner of the defeat that would need dissecting. Let’s face it the majority of our defeats this season have been cluelessly meek surrenders but I’d accept defeat tonight if we play in an organised manner, match them across the pitch yet subsequently lose to a team with a bit more class. I can accept losing if the team leaves everything on the pitch after ninety plus minutes.
Surprised how many people are confident that we’ll win.
I think this will be a really tough game to get anything out of. I’m interested to see if the players can keep up the level of intensity that they’ve shown in the previous two games.
For the first time in a while, it’s so nice to feel that connection between fans and the players/management.
Rotherham are very good at this level and I am surprised they cannot stay up in the Championship. This will be tough as others have said but with the right team selection maybe....1-1.
Rotherham are a great example of a side who keep a good spine and build around it , I don’t think their squad is a better overall quality than ours just much more gelled and together
So do we all agree now that this isn't the worst team in our history ?
A fit Ryan Inniss would have been a bonus to have got to grips with Michael Smith but we need to play our football and be clinical in front of goal.
Agree with AUN, as long as we leave it all on the pitch then that is progress. The only aim we should have is to put distance between ourselves and the bottom 4, if we are mid table by new year's Day we can have a reassessment.
Rotherham are on 30 points and we are on 15 so not sure how anyone can be confident?

Rotherham are a very good L1 side, hence they regularly get promoted, but struggle to stay in the Championship.
Not having star individuals, they don't tend to be plundered too much on relegation either, so can keep the core of their team.
I am genuinely looking forward to this match for the first time in a very long time. It might be that it was two matches of false dawn and we revert to Charltoning our way through the season, but we do actually have a decent squad and we seem to have a manager capable of bringing that out of them, and that manager is one of my favourite ever Charlton players from one of my favourite ever Charlton periods. Ten years after maybe my favourite ever Charlton season Jackson is putting out the team and so far they seem to be trying. It's nice actually wanting the football to happen for once.

“…and was surprised to find out that Jayden Stockley is now serving a three match ban for murdering one of the Sunderland players. I have to admit, I’m impressed that he managed to score from prison on Saturday. Maybe @AddickUpNorth let him out for the weekend.”

Been to every single home game this season bar the Crewe and Donny games. It's November and I still haven't seen a win at the Valley, tonight is going to be the night.
On the slim slim slim chance we can get anything from this season, we basically need to go on a stupid run of form. Need to be beating everyone in the league, starting tonight.

Agree with you and Leuth but too many times it's hasn't been "hot forward" but has been "shit"
With some exceptions, like killer, Super Clive and Jimmy Melrose to name just 3.
I think maybe this match is a free hit, isn't it? @golfaddick

Going for a 2 - 2 draw with heads held high.
When does the Charlton TV Pre-show start? Half hour before KO?

Quietly optimistic is allowed.
Draw is likely.

Tough opponents, I'd be happy with a draw tonight
