Injuries plague Addicks
Injuries plague the Addicks as they face MK Dons tonight. MK Dons are on a good run that has put them into the play off places. On Saturday they demolished Rochdale 4-1 away due to superior finishing.
Rob Elliot has a hip injury so Ross Worner is going to have to deputise despite picking up a dead leg against Tranmere. Worner looked error prone on Saturday but may be better prepared tonight. Let's hope so.
Doherty, Fry and Bessone are all out, but after a good performance on Saturday Llera will surely be picked against his old club. Jackson (achilles) and Anyinsah (ankle) are both unlikely to play and we miss both of them. The Benson/Wright-Phillips combo does not really work.
MK Dons have central defender Sean O'Hanlon suspended, while forward Angelo Balanta is back in training but not match fit and likely to start on the bench.
One can see what Chris Powell is trying to do: get the players to pass the ball, keep possession and build up an attack. Unfortunately, most of them quite not up to it and we often end up passing the ball backwards and moving it among the back four. Our most effective attacks are often on the right flank.
I am far from optimistic about tonight and am going for a 3-1 win for the home side with Llera scoring the consolation.

Things are looking up
I had a poor start to my sporting year. With the disappearance of Bello in a tantrum about things said about him on the fans' form (you would think he heard worse in his day job as a police sergeant) Leamington seemed to have difficulty in finding the back of the net. But they have now had two successive away wins, 3-0 away against Halesowen with 10 men for most of the match on Saturday and 2-0 away at Bedford on Tuesday night.
After winning the Elite League last season, Coventry Blaze experienced a run of defeats. But they recovered at the weekend with a 9-2 demolition of new boys Dundee Star and a 5-1 cup win over the Steelers and last night at the Skydome they beat Edinburgh Capitals 6-3. Eleven fanatical away fans faced a long trip back to Scotland.
Above all, things are looking up at Charlton. Our 1-0 win over MK Dons was hardly emphatic, but we kept a clean sheet. Those who were there agreed that Jon Fortune made an encouraging return to the defence, while despite the occasional fumble, Ross Worner looks like a promising young keeper.
One must be careful about reading results off the table or even the form table. But we can go into Saturday's match at Brentford in a reasonably confident mood. No team is dominating the division, least of all Southampton who were tipped to run away with the title. Our local Saint tells me they are playing off teams off the park which perhaps explains the point gained at mighty Yeovil.
Our current position in 7th place is a promising one at this time of the season and we just need to build on what we are starting to achieve. Questions remain about the midfield, but whether it is a lack of creativity or too much lumping the ball forward from defence is an interesting question.

He's a card
It's been rumoured all summer, but Woking keeper Ross Worner could be finally on his way to The Valley with negotiations currently under way between both clubs. The Cards' board rejected an initial four-figure fee - plus a similar amount to be paid in January - on Tuesday. But the Addicks have come back with an amended offer which Cards' chairman Shahid Azeem and his colleagues were discussing yesterday evening.
"Ross has his heart set on the move and we want him to follow his dream to play at the highest level but the deal has to right for Woking FC," said Azeem. "The initial offer was sprung upon us and it's only right that as a board of directors, we all sit down and discuss it. The amended offer has various clauses."
Boss Graham Baker had said this week that Worner's departure from Woking was a case of when, not if. Charlton seem determined to get their man, Phil Parkinson thinking the deal was done with Baker earlier this week, only for further negotiations to take place.
Worner is understood to have passed a medical at The Valley on Tuesday. It is thought that he may be able to command £800 a week.
