Chris Powell has said he will field a strong team against Huddersfield at The Valley on Saturday and it will be interesting to see who is involved.
All the loanees have returned to their parent clubs and Leon Cort and Lawrie Wilson joined the injury list at Watford.
In the circumstances, trying to second guess the manager is impossible for this one, some of the fringe players will be involved and some of the youngsters may get a taste of first team action.
Dave Button will expect to make his Valley debut and Ade Azeez has been recalled from Wycombe so is likely to play some part.
It will be interesting to see if central defender, Kevin Feeley, is included in the squad after completing his move from Bohemians.
Bradley Pritchard, Chris Solly and Dale Stephens have been linked with moves to Premier League clubs this week so if any of them are omitted it could be significant.
The South London Press are reporting that Birmingham are showing interest in out-of-favour Addicks winger, Danny Green. Green has been a peripheral figure this season and is one of a number of players who could move during the transfer window.
With Powell saying he will need to be creative in the market and hinting that there is not much money available to spend, he may be eyeing a swap deal with the Blues. The manager has admitted he may have to sell before he can buy but has assured fans that any departure will mean an immediate replacement joining the ranks.
On police advice, the game against Millwall at The Valley on Saturday 16 March will now kick-off at 12.30pm instead of the traditional 3.00pm.
