Karl Robinson took the unusual step of naming his side for the Swindon game at his Friday press conference.

The manager touched on other matters, and confirmed that Richie Barker will be leaving to join Rotherham, and that Simon Clark would also be leaving.
Clark has not been seen at first team games for some while now. The duo will leave after the Swindon game.
It looks certain that the assistant manager and first team coach roles that Barker and Clark are vacating,  will be filled by Lee Bowyer and Johnnie Jackson. An announcement is expected next week.
Here is what Robinson said to the press about his team selection on Friday:

“Dec will be in goal. Sols will be at right-back, Patrick Bauer, Jason Pearce and Jay Dasilva will also be in the back four.

“Jacko, Andrew Crofts, Jake Forster-Caskey and then Nathan Byrne, Josh Magennis and Ricky Holmes. It’s a strong team.

“Jacko is leading the team out, Sols is fit, Ezri is going to be rested and Nathan gets to play in that midfield position that he enjoys so much; he’s been outstanding in our last two games.

“Josh needs to get into double figures for goals and Ricky needs to add to his assists and goals. It’s a strong side and it gives people an indication of what we are expecting from the game on Sunday.

“Sometimes we can keep things so secretive, but for the right reasons. People may be expecting some young players or a strong team and people buy tickets even though they don’t know.

“I’ve named a team early a few times before and from that I think you can see that I want to win the game. I want to put a strong-minded side out and we want the three points.

“Our Under-23s have got a massive semi-final a week on Monday, they’ve got a game arranged for Tuesday to help prepare for that, so there have been a lot of things on my mind when it came to picking Sunday’s team.”

‎So, all we have to speculate on is the substitute’s bench.
Charlton will line up like this:
Rudd; Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Dasilva; Byrne, Crofts, Jackson, Forster-Caskey, Holmes; Magennis.
Subs: Phillips, Barnes, Teixeira, Dijksteel, Aribo, Ahearne-Grant, Novak.
‎The referee will be John Brooks of Leicestershire.
Robinson will be keen to keep the good run going, and has picked a strong team to try to win the game.
