Nathan Jones’ squad will be similar to those he has utilised at Bromley and Bury Town for tonight’s trip to Tonbridge Angels.

With the first competitive match just a week away, this will be the last opportunity for the fringe players to impress Chris Powell. Powell will take his first team squad to Fulham on Saturday for a behind-closed-doors game.

The Addicks face Leyton Orient in the first round of the Capital One Cup next Tuesday and will probably field a stronger team than they generally do in the competition.

The staging of the first round a few days before the league campaign opens, gives managers the perfect opportunity to see their favoured line-up in competitive action.

Barring injuries or a late signing, the team that Powell fields against Orient will almost certainly be the one he has in mind for the trip to St Andrews.
