Putting the thread up as @Oggy Red is otherwise engaged. Rotherham are 4th from top, and are likely to feature the League One top scorer Michael Smith (formerly of this parish) so will be a tougher proposition than Doncaster.
Teams:
Charlton: MacGillivray; Gunter, Pearce (c), Famewo; Jaiyesimi, Gilbey, Dobson, Lee, Purrington; Stockley, Washington
Subs: Henderson, Elerewe, Watson, Clare, Kirk, Blackett-Taylor, Davison
Rotherham: Vickers; Ihiekwe, Wood (C), Edmonds-Green; Harding, Barlaser, Rathbone, Wiles, Miller; Smith, Ladapo.
Subs: Johansson, Odoffin, Ferguson, Sadlier, Ogbene, Kayode, Grigg

    Just parked up near the Valley. Really looking forward to this. Lots of layers to keep out the cold. It’ll be a tough test but we’re going to be well up for the battle. Come on you Reds!!

    I watch mid week games while at work, but I'm lucky enough to have my own office, not just a booth. I get to watch about 75% of most games at about 75% attention level. The other 25% usually gets disturbed by phone calls/emails etc.

    One change for Charlton as Jaiyesimi comes in for Leko. Kirk takes the space left on the bench.

    Two changes for Rotherham from their 5-1 win. Miller and Richard Wood come in for Ogbene and Ferguson.

    It’s the team I expected. Who’s been left out completely other than the injured players? Souare is one.

    Edit: Morgan and if he’s not out for a year Arter ;)
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    Stockley vs our former defender Richard Wood will be a good battle.

    We'll need to mark him well at the other end too, as he scores a few from set pieces

    Oh shit, did the UK change their clocks? I was wondering why coverage hadn't started yet! Also, this is a lie:

    Yeah i have my own office but my boss has a habit of swanning in from time to time. Also he has a habit of calling impromptu and unnecessary meetings. It is conceivable i could miss heaps of the game listening to him prattle on about nothing of consequence. This later than expected (for me) start has caused me another problems. I have a team meeting that i called starting half way through the game. I think i am going to try and shift it....first world problems.

    4 million pound star Will Grigg on the bench. Love to see it.

    Yup, good team selection, at least on paper. Basically unchanged, apart from what I'm guessing is an enforced change with DJ for Leko (any word on Leko's injury? Sorry if I've missed it). DJ looked capable of filling that right wing/wingback role on Saturday, and with his crossing, might even be a slightly better fit to provide natural width and service than Leko, who has, it should be said, been very good himself.

    Going to be a different one for Minto tonight having played 52-games for Rotherham at the end of his career - Even played alongside their current Manager

    I am watching from room 2308 Best Western Hotel, Sai Ying Pun Hong Kong.

    It's 3am local time and I have insomnia.  
  • Chris_from_SidcupChris_from_Sidcup
    Slightly concerned by the fact Rotherham have scored 21 goals in their last 6 games.

    Going to need an impressive performance to win this tonight.

    That's right. I think it's malicious (I don't actually, I was just being a smart ass).

    I think I'd rather have him to bring on than Davison.

    We are looking very light up front- both starting 11 & bench.

    Will be streaming the game from the Bahamas, hours before our holiday ends

    "Sorry guys, something has come up. Does anyone mind if I push the meeting back by an hour?" I may, or may not, have done that once or twice to be able to tune into Valley Pass instead.

    We might get found out with 5 attacking players on the pitch. But I really hope that if we can keep them out for an hour we can get a result. Personally would have played Clare rather than DJ at wingback, but rooting for DJ nevertheless obviously.

    What’s Davison done wrong ? I’d have him
    in over Washington, personally
