Sub Standard preview

Here are the thoughts of the Evening Standard on tomorrow's match, perhaps slightly more amusing than some of their efforts:

Colchester United v Charlton Athletic Tomorrow, 3pm, Layer Road

Match Odds: Colchester 24/13, Draw 30/13, Charlton 7/5 Promotion: Charlton 7/4, Watford 9/4, West Brom 9/4

Match Officials:Referee: Mike Russell [who he?] - Hertfordshire; Assistant Referees: Glenn Hambling - Norfolk, Gary Young - Bedfordshire Fourth Official: Matt Stewart- Essex [hopefully from Southend]

It's a shame Charlton striker Marcus Bent misses this clash after recently joining Wigan on a season-long loan, as he could be swapping notes with Colchester veteran Teddy Sherringham about former girlfriend Danielle Lloyd. The big brother flop dated the players - both of whom are known to frequent clubs of a different sort than the football ones - at separate times. Summer signing Luke Varney Could be on the bench for the visitors after scoring a hat-trick for the reserves in midweek, but Yassin Moutaouakil and Matt Holland remain sidelined. VERDICT: TEDDY IN BIG BOTHER
