Happy Christmas everyone, I hope Santa brought you everything you wanted. One thing he will have to deliver late is the three points we want at Milton Keynes on Boxing Day.
Karl Robinson must think he has never left the Dons, this will be the third time he has faced them in his brief Valley tenure.
Robbie Neilson has made a good start to his English career, so it will not be easy for Robinson to notch his first win.
It has been noticeable in the last two matches that the Addicks have been really fired up immediately after the break, suggesting Robinson delivered the hair dryer treatment during the interval.
Clearly unhappy after the Millwall game, the boss scheduled one-to-one meetings with the players on Thursday.
Whether he has the personnel to change much at present, is open to debate. Kevin Foley, Frederik Ulvestad and Jordan Botaka are amongst those looking to return to the team.
Charlton could look something like this:
Phillips; Foley, Bauer, Teixeira, Fox; Lookman, Crofts, Ulvestad, Chicksen; Magennis, Ajose.
Subs: Mitov, Konsa, Johnson, Jackson, Aribo, Ahearne-Grant, Hanlan.
Chris Sarginson of Staffordshire will be the man in the middle.
Robinson will be desperate to chalk up his first win since taking over, and where better place for him to start?
