Lee Bowyer has made a decent fist of being a Football League manager, something likely to surprise a few people.

Perhaps his controversial playing career didn't mark him out as a master tactician, nor his retirement to a carp lake in France.

He's proven everyone wrong by emerging at his boyhood side, Charlton, and setting them on the path to a play off hunt.

His side are solid and combative, but with a certain grace up front, typified by the sensational Karlan Grant and West Ham's talented schemer Josh Cullen.

Lyle Taylor has added pace and guile too, all resulting in them sitting just outside the top six.

There are faults in the side, if there wasn't they'd be top of the table, but they're minor tweaks that need adjusting as the games pile up.

Bowyer is on the right path and a win this evening against Oxford United could see them climb to seventh.

Bowyer might have to alter his side a little there's an injury to consider, but here's two changes he might make to the line up this evening.

Sarr had to come on for the injured Krystian Bielik this weekend and if the Arsenal man doesn't recover, we expect the 25-year old to start once more.

Bowyer might not want to risk Bielik, not with Doncaster and Walsall on the horizon.

Lapslie has been appearing regularly from the bench, as well as starting the odd game and he must have a shout for a place in this evening's first XI.

He scored twice in the 8-0 demolition of Stevenage in the EFL Trophy and replaced Ben Reeves at the weekend, who he may replace permanently this evening.
