Only Wycombe are currently below Rochdale in the League One table. Dale have won two, drawn three and lost ten of their fifteen away games so Charlton will fancy their chances of taking the three points.
The Addicks have been grinding out results recently, albeit they have been beating top teams. With Kermorgant and Wright-Phillips both experiencing goal droughts, Charlton have struggled to score. Only twice since Boxing Day have they scored more than once, against Brentford on 2 January, when Danny Green scored in added on time, and last Tuesday when Jackson converted two penalties.
The defence has been steadfast and Powell’s team have scored some spectacular goals from outside the area. One telling statistic is that Charlton have scored with shots inside the box only twice in the last twelve matches.
Johnnie Jasckson is again doubtful and Powell was pleased with how Green on the left and Pritchard on the right worked at Tranmere so may well field the same quartet in midfield.
Danny Haynes pulled a hamstring at Prenton Park and will miss out. Bradley Wright-Phillips, woefully short of confidence at the moment, looks set to reclaim his place in the starting line-up.
Powell could send this team out:
Hamer; Solly, Taylor, Morrison, Wiggins; Pritchard, Stephens, Hollands, Green; Kermorgant, Wright-Phillips.
Subs: Sullivan, Cort, Russell, Wagstaff, Clarke.
Fred Graham from Essex will be the referee.
The game gives Charlton the ideal opportunity to return to their more attractive style of play as they bid for another three points.
