Dartford and Charlton Athletic will battle it out for a place in the Kent Senior Cup Final when they meet at Princes Park on Tuesday night.

The likes of Mikel Alonso, Andy Hughes, Bradley Pritchard, Cedric Evina, John Sullivan, Tobi Sho-Silva, Joe Pigott, Adebayo Azeez and Jordan Cousins are likely to feature in the game at Dartford and will be looking to impress the manager.

The Addicks will be keen to get back to their best on Saturday against Orient, following a run that has seen them take just four points from the last fifteen. They looked to have turned the corner in the second half with Yeovil but were out-muscled at Huddersfield.

When things are not going their way, Charlton do start playing the ball long very early. In part, this is understandable given Kermorgant’s prowess in the air, but on Saturday the same tactic was employed even though the Frenchman was an absentee.

Hoofball is not the sort of service that Hayes and Wright-Phillips thrive on. Dany N’Guessan is clearly not a left-winger and if the team want to play a direct style, the Millwall loanee would have been better utilised up front.

Hopefully, the rest will have renewed the jaded looking Dale Stephens’ energy levels. His introduction on Saturday saw the Addicks adopt a more cultured approach.

Lee Cook is a natural left-winger who would restore the ballance that has been missing since Johnnie Jackson was sidelined.

Sheffield United entertain JPT winners, Chesterfield, at Bramall Lane on Wednesday evening with all Addicks fans willing the Spireites to win! A Blades victory would see them close the gap with Charlton to just six points.

An early goal on Saturday would ease the tension around The Valley, and a return to the style that brought so much success earlier in the season may be the best way forward.
