Charlton travel away to Hartlepool tomorrow for what, on paper and current form, should really be a must for all three points. However we all know that's not how it always works out in this division.
After a great September in which they won all five league games the wheels well and truly came of Hartlepool's early challenge this month. Winning only once, away to Chesterfield 3-2 and losing all four home games and scoring just the one home goal.
I would imagine they will be looking at frustrating us and grabbing a draw and a point to stop the recent rot (which would seem like a victory for them on current form). Expect a team going all out to frustrate us and stop us playing. I think the key will be for Charlton to dictate the tempo from the outset and get an early goal. That ought to let Hartlepool heads drop and enable us to get on with our normal game.
I will be extremely happy if we can ride out any spoiling tactics that Hartlepool try and come away with a hard fought point.
With Huddersfield having a seemingly easy away game against rock bottom Yeovil it's vitally important we pick up at least a point tomorrow. (Mind you, as mentioned at the start of this post, Huddersfield could come unstuck, they've got to lose at some point after all, and we could enter November sitting pretty and six points clear at the top...
