    Birmingham will be knackered after Monday so i predict a 1-0 for Charlton.
  • I really can`t believe that 64% think Charlton will win this one......Mad I tell thee !

    We have a decent record against Brum at home.

    Alas......0-2. Bent will score, I'm sure he has scored a few against over the years. A couple for Ipswich at the Valley in a 3-1 defeat spring to mind.

    If Phillips starts and is around 5-1 he'll be getting some money waged on him as first goalscorer.

    After last night's SheffU win, the pressure is definitely on Brum - maybe works in our favour if we can keep them put for the first half hour.

    Sky Sports:

    Charlton have added rookie striker Tamer Tuna to their squad for Saturday's encounter.

    The 17-year-old has been promoted to the first-team pool after scoring twice for the reserves in midweek.

    Tuna could be on the bench as boss Phil Parkinson is unlikely to tinker with his starting line-up following last weekend's 3-2 win at fellow strugglers Southampton.

    Darren Ambrose came on as a second-half substitute at St Mary's following a thigh injury and should be involved again.

    Fellow midfielder Matt Spring has missed out on the last couple of matchday squads but should feature at some time over Easter

    He's been canned.

    I think the idea was that he was part of the squad - to give him an idea of what preparing for a match day is like rather than being a member of the 16.
  • One striker up front at home when we need to win?

    well its not as if our goals come from up front... at least with got sam in there to take on players and hopefully cross the ball

    The choice is sacrifice a midfielder for a non-scoring striker. I don't like playing 4-5-1 at home, but that formation is far more likely to produce goals than playing Kandol + Dickson or Burton.

    Suppose as it's only Bailey who's scoring really! Still think 4-4- 2 is more attack minded though and creates more chances. Would have started Dickson up there but not burton.
