Do well shod Addicks head for another dreary draw?

Charlton face the Shoe Army at Sickfields tomorrow, the Cobblers currently being led by caretaker boss Ian Sampson.  Australian Jon Brady resigned at the beginning of December.

Northampton are 19th in the table but only one place behind Charlton in the form table.  At home Northampton have won four, drawn two and lost three.   Like the Addicks, they don't score many goals at home (eleven versus ten).

Having beaten Nene Valley rivals Peterborough 3-0, the Cobblers went down 3-0 at Rotherham last Saturday.  Sampson said, 'We did not win enough first or second balls.'

Will London designer trainers overcome the more conventional shoes of Northants?   It could well be another dreary draw or perhaps a 1-0 win for either side.

Nathan Jones tries to talk a good game, but the Chicago Addick has mocked the clichés he produces at press conferences.  He may need another page from his Great Big Book of Excuses tomorrow.  There could be a Yuletide disappearance to gladden some Charlton hearts, but somehow I doubt it.  A decision one way or another needs to be taken before the transfer window.

CAS Trust says that we head to Northampton with 'hope in our hearts'.   Perhaps or lead in our shoes?  https://www.castrust.org/2024/12/almost-full-circle-in-the-calendar-year-as-we-head-for-northampton/
