So having made wholesale changes to the starting line up and bench for the great result and performance midweek against Reading it now will be a real guessing game as to who will start at Bury today.
I don't expect many changes, but think Powell will see Tuesday as presenting the perfect opportunity to do a bit of tweaking.
Wagstaff played really well when bought off the bench, but Green's delivery and tenacity should see him get the right midfield berth. The only possible other change I can see actually happening would be Hamer in for Elliot. Perhaps an unpopular choice, but from what little i have seen of Hamer he does look decidedly more comfortable with the ball coming high or across the box.
Pritchard will certainly be pushing for a place, but I would find it hard to see the central pairing of Stephens and Hollands that seems to be working so well be broken up.
Bury have started pretty well in League One, only one defeat and winning their previous two games, so despite the manager playing down their chances I think they will fancy getting something at home.
The fact that the 'second string' did so well in the week I think will have a hugely positive effect on the players who have got us off to such a terrific start, they will realise that if they do not perform there is someone else just behind them with a genuine claim to that position. This coupled with the Scunthorpe result will leave them understanding (unlike some of their recent predecessors) that Charlton do not simply have to turn up against smaller opposition to pick up the three points.
I'm going for another win. 2-1 to the Addicks.
