Good luck to all of you that are going, hope you will see a great game. Unfortunately I’m laying here feeling sorry for myself with my foot above my heart after a foot and ankle operation, annoyed that I can’t go today. Hoping for a win, and hoping I will able to resume going to Valley in a couple of weeks time. 

Try not to “kick every ball” whilst listening to the game, and I hope you are up and around soon.

3 suppositories? 

You never quite know which Lincoln will turn up - the side that has scored four goals or more in a game seven times this season or the one that sets up to avoid defeat. They have been tactically inconsistent with constant rotation of personnel; at their best, they are great to watch; at worst, tedious. They play on the counter - very happy to allow the opposition to have the ball (look at their possession stats) - and have scored more goals from set-pieces this season in L1 than any other side. A blend of vast experience (James Collins, Sam Clucas, Tendayi Darikwa) and early twenties (Sean Roughan, Jovon Makama, Erik Ring, Joe Gardner, George Wickens), but star player Ethan Erhahon has been out injured for two months. They are solid defensively, having conceded just three goals in their last six games (one of which was a penalty at Birmingham). 

Charlton start as clear favourites, but eight home wins in a row has to end at some point. And will those end of season promotion jitters set in at all? Lincoln are capable of winning this, could be closer than some think.

We must be overdue a setback at home - like Wycombe had on Tuesday (30 shots, no goals), or a penalty decision against us, deflected goal against us, some kind of bad luck where we don't pick up all the points - but hopefully that setback isn't tomorrow.

Bookies odds of 4/5 feel about right.

Better today than in the play offs. 

I think Cambridge away will be the one we struggle in, even if my reasoning is strongly biased by the ’Harris factor.’

First game on a beta blocker. 😂

Hope you are feeling better @JamesSeed. Starter my beta blockers about three weeks ago. Now been told by my consultant that my ticker is, in his words, knackered. Got to have a cardioversion to shock it back into rhythm then another drug in an attempt to get my left ventricle working more efficiently. The beta blockers have at least brought my HR down a bit. 

You see how us Charlton fans suffer for our team 😁

12:30 games providing a bit of hungover entertainment in the AA household.  Looking good for us at the moment.  Neither of our rivals looking particularly threatening in the first half but looking a bit more dangerous as the games go on. 

Our home run won't run forever, but today isn't the day it ends I think. 

2-0 to the addicks, a Godden double.

No Jones or TC, who are going to cause the exciting out team now

Anyone know why no TC? 

Anderson replaces Tyreece Campbell, who misses out with a minor calf injury

Feeling a bit deflated after this morning. Genuinely don't know how we're supposed to catch Wrexham if the ref is giving them decisions like some of the ones today
