Match Preview - Yeovil Town vs. Charlton Athletic (H)

All things being good, Skivo should have somewhat of a selection headache tomorrow. Minor knocks to Sam Williams, Terrell Forbes, Shaun MacDonald and Nathan Jones should be recovered by now meaning that Aidan Downes aside Skivo should have the luxury of almost a full squad.

Charlton arrive on the back of their 5-1 mauling of MK Dons, but that result apart they've been patchy of late, with three defeats in a row (including their F.A. Cup 1st rd exit at the hands of Northwich Victoria) before that, and Addicks fans would be the first to accept their form on the road isn't the best. Izale Macleod serves the third of a three match ban on Saturday and ex-Leeds full-back Frazer Richardson looks set to miss the match through injury. Charlton are strong favourites for the match with the Glovers generally given odds of around 2/1 (slightly longer in most cases), meaning a home win would probably be a good speculative punt tomorrow.

Also adding to the spice of tomorrow's encounter with the Londoners is the news that as of Thursday, they'd sold 1,700 tickets, filled the away end and been allocated more seating in the Cowlin Stand. This should make for an exciting atmosphere for their first ever league trip to Huish Park, and one can only hope that Yeovil supporters turn out in numbers tomorrow to give them a great taste of how passionate League One support is. Skivo will no doubt have drummed into the team that if they can get a result tomorrow, they can get a result against any team in the league and that Yeovil Town away is fast becoming a fixture sides are not looking forward to.

On that subject, Skivo's lineups seem to be becoming increasingly hard to call (before I got to the stadium last week, I didn't even know about the injuries to Jonesy, Macca and Williams), but without any fresh injury concerns I reckon this will be close to Skivo's lineup tomorrow:

McCarthy

Alcock Caulker Forbes Jones

Macca Kalala

Murray Welsh

Mason

Obika

With subs: Martin, Hutchins, Stam, O'Callaghan, Murtagh, Williams, Bowditch

As for my prediction, I am seriously tempted to go with a Yeovil win, we're excellent at home and they're dodgy away, but I'm going to be conservative and go for a 1-1 draw, with Obika scoring our opener and youngster Jonjo Shelvey to get their equaliser deep into the second half. I really do think the home win is possible, and if we do, I believe then we can start dreaming about the playoffs...
