    It is raining non stop down here in London .

    Is there any danger this being called off?
    Northampton tweeted this morning saying no pitch issues expected

    I actually think a draw would be a good result with Cheltenham being the must win.

    I don’t think a win is out of the question but we need to keep our feet on the ground and stay focussed or we will trip up

    Could NJ finally be the manager who toughens us up so we can get over the traditional Charlton prat falls?

    Hopefully this is my glass half empty outlook speaking here but I think this is going to be very tough. Happily take a point right now but my gut feeling is we’ll lose this 2 - 0 
    Hope not, as Tuesday is going to be difficult and we'd be right amongst the brown stuff if we have a poor return in these two games.

    Love the optimism! Think it'll be a hard fought draw.
    Best of luck with the knee op Elfsborg!
    Thanks for that mate but I did not know I was having one!

    I'm on the exercise bike in the gym atm and they are bearing up :D

    It’s not Elfsberg who’s having the op.

    Well, I've got a day lined up to forget, about  kick off time, I will be under the knife of my trusted Surgeon having my left knee replacement done, which will mean me a full set...deep joy!!
    So, COYR, and win this one and give me something to smile about come 5pm eh...0-3 will do nicely...
    Over to you Ali with todays Match Thread...
    All the best for your operation and recovery Eastterrace 💪🏻.
    Hopefully those brain cells will still be firing on all cylinders for Wordle.

    Gutted he’s not in the squad. Assume it’s injury but don’t think anything was mentioned by the club.

    Oh no, rest of starting 11 looks good, but hope Chuks not badly injured or just rested. No Camara

  • Chuks travelled so assuming it’s nothing serious.

    Having his minutes managed apparently. Which in some ways is good, as don’t want him to break down again. 

    But in other ways it’s mental, a bloke who essentially can only come on after 60+ minutes, is not fit enough to even do that with a little bit of fixture congestion. 
  • Believe Chuks is just having his minutes managed but will seek further clarification from Nathan Jones after the game#cafc https://t.co/sWtI611uHi

  • Camara was out doing some laps a few minutes ago so think he's just been dropped/rotated #cafc

    He is having his minutes managed by being a sub!!

    According to that camera is starting...

    'Conor Coventry and Camará join Tuesday’s match-winner Karoy Anderson in midfield with Tennai Watson and Thierry Small operating as wing-backs.'

    CAFC write up says Camara playing, then leaves him out altogether?

    Draw please! To rely so heavily on one player is worrying.

    No match thread by 2.10pm

    Team news all over the shop

    Shambles.

    I see that Derby Life had their match thread up on the Sunday....2 whole days before the game.

    Every Bolton,Derby,pompey fan would have 
    been saying."we should be winning this one"
    before playing us in the last 10 days
    Northampton are doing well, I'm not sire why people are saying we should be winning 
    Exactly, after the Lord Mayor's Show etc.
    I'd take a point 1-1.
    I thank-you.
