Breaking down the (Mill)wall... Charlton starting dilemma

First, many congratulations to Callum Harriott for making it into the Championship team of the week;

His first senior goal, which came at Huddersfield game, from Chris Solly's training ground free kick can only have helped.  If reports are to believed then the ball was meant for team Captain Johnny Jackson but they all count.

I believe that players need a bit of self confidence in their ability and anyone who incorporates one of the best players in the world in their twitter name (@Cally_messi ) certainly demonstrates that he has it to a small degree.

The BBC London radio commentary was concentrating on the Palace game so I was relying on their website text commentary accompanied by the very nervous tweets from fans following the #cafc tag.  I could hear a collective groan as the four minutes of extra time were announced but that means we held on for 90 minutes (including stoppage time) for a clean sheet, something we have failed to do for a while now.  This against a team who have a reputation for late goals (they came from behind to beat Middlesboro with goals in the 86th and 90th minute).  I'm pretty certain a few of you managed to rub out your phone screens trying to refresh the twitter feed.

If anyone hasn't noticed, we have the small matter of playing Millwall on Saturday.  Despite not claiming to care about us they have sold out their allocation and I expect a good home crowd too.  In fact they care so little about us that one fan has taken to the local press to make sure that we all know about it
( see here for his reasons why http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/sport/10283613._/). 

Harriott's performance will also give our manager a bit of a nice dilemma.  Yann Kermogant has now served his three match suspension and will be vying for a starting point.  However with decent contributions from Fuller and Danny Haynes in the last few games, Chris Powell will be scratching his head on his attacking line up.  My guess will be that he will preserve Fuller, bringing him on later in the game if required.  Blackburn were complaining about how physical Millwall were and so a tough centre man like Kermogant will be required up front.  I don't think he will change too much otherwise, with Button and Taylor establishing their presence in the last few games.  The only potential change could be to bring Court in for Morrison (there I've said it!) who's missed a few of his clearing headers recently but this is only an outside possibility.

Millwall are just behind us in the league but are piling on the games in hand with an FA cup replay against Blackburn on Wednesday.  The talk on the chat boards has been all about whether a win or a loss in that game will help us or not, but that is missing the point.  Be under no illusions, whatever the outcome of that game they will arrive at the Valley prepared to beat us even if it means running on pure adrenalin.

I know that all Charlton fans will make it a fantastic atmosphere inside the ground, I just hope that all Charlton fans can also demonstrate how to behave outside the ground.

COYR !!
