Town will be looking to win three league games in a row for the first time since the end of the 2008/09 season when Sheffield United visit Portman Road on Saturday. Manager Paul Jewell will hope his side’s growing confidence will see them to a victory over the struggling Blades.
Town defender John McGreal picked up his fifth booking of the season in last night's 1-0 win against Fulham. He now faces a one match ban, the first Town player to face one this season.
As expected Marcus Bent has claimed last night's winner, despite suggestions that it might already have been over the line before he got his touch at the far post. Alun Armstrong's effort had been deflected over keeper Edwin Van Der Sar across the Fulham goal.
Marcus Bent has become the sixth ex-Town player on the books at Charlton after completing his £2.5 million switch from Everton. The striker joins up with former team-mates Darren Bent, Darren Ambrose, Matt Holland and Hermann Hreidarsson as well as Dean Kiely, who was on loan with the Blues in 1989.
Out-of-favour Blues striker Tamás Priskin is a £250,000 target of Millwall, according to reports in Hungary. The 25-year-old, who is also interesting Russian second division leaders Alania Vladikavkaz, is out of contract at the end of the season.
