Charlton Athletic Online

No time, no energy, and no enthusiasm for a full preview of the midweek game as Charlton take on Bristol City. We sit in 17th place in the league – not good! We need to put a run together or the predicted relegation battle will become a reality; if we lose against City and on Saturday against Burnley, we really could see Pardew being shown the door before any potential takeover comes to fruition.

This is the suspension and injury plagued side I think Pards will let take to the field on his (and our) behalf –

Nicky Weaver
Martin Crainie
Linvoy Primus
Kelly Youga
Grant Basey
Lloyd Sam
Matt Holland
Nicky Bailey
Hameur Bouazza
Luke Varney
Andy Gray

Subs from Elliot, Moutaouakil, Mambo, Ambrose, Wagstaff, Dickson, McLeod, Todorov.

Pedro45 just thinks that too much is falling apart at the moment and Pardew is not the man to superglue things together – I forecast another 2-0 defeat, though I desperately hope I am wrong. Without Hudson and Semedo, red carded on Saturday; without Shelvey who is off with young England; without Fortune and Zhi who are injured - we just have no chance. How our central defence will cope with six foot five defender McCombe at free kicks and corners is beyond me; then there are the rest of their team to worry about…

My one-to-watch is going to be Linvoy Primus (top) in this game; quite simply, he’s going to have to have a very good game if Charlton are to get any sort of result that brings us needed points.

Come on you reds!
