Saints look for three easy points

Saints boss Nigel Adkins is looking for three easy points at The Valley tonight: Saints

Saints have not beaten Charlton at The Valley for 33 years. The last time they beat us at home was in 1990 at Selhurst Park.

If you look at the comments by Saints fans, they do not think it will be an easy game and some of them would settle for a draw. One argues that Charlton may not be a good team, but they are a strong one. However, another points out that an early goal for Saints would drain our confidence. Much may depend on who scores first (I don't think it will be 0-0).

Matt Fry has now returned to West Ham, no steps having been taken to extend his loan.
The club is constrained by the number of loan players it now has. Fry has been a solid enough performer for the Addicks without being outstanding and Bessone offers a better option.
