Lee Bowyer takes his Charlton Athletic side into battle against Blackpool tomorrow, knowing that a win would see them strengthen their grip on a top six spot.
The former Leeds midfielder has been a revelation at the Valley, taking his side to a playoff challenge when it seemed as though behind the scenes issues could derail their good form.
Far from it, he's built a side in his own image, tough and uncompromising but vastly underrated for the hard work they put in.
Tomorrow they face Blackpool, a side who couldn't kill off National League side Solihull Moors in the FA Cup on Monday. Bowyer will be hoping his team keep up the pressure on the top five with a win.
he'll be relying heavily on his incredible double act up front, but a team is far more than a couple of strikers. He has options to explore, but when all is said and done we believe the following XI is the best he can field against the Seasiders.
Steer is on loan at the Valley and although he missed out in their FA Cup defeat, he's sure to be back in the sticks this week.
Villa are looking at new keepers, but Steer might be the answer if he keeps up his current form.
Solly is a one-club man, a 27-year old who knows nothing of life outside the Addicks.
He's a fan favourite and a competent right back to boot, meaning he'll feature tomorrow.
Mo Sarr has impressed this season, offering width but a defensive knowledge that has ensured they remain in the top six.
He too missed the FA Cup game, but he'll be back as will most of the first team regulars.
The one-time Leeds United man is a key figure at the heart of the Addicks defence.
He'll be tasked with keeping the shot-shy Blackpool forwards quiet, which will be where the game is won and lost.
Bauer is a player likely to be attracting interest from higher up after he's impressed all season.
he's a tough cookie and forwards get very little change out of him.
Arsenal loanee Bielik has been a regular starter for Bowyer and plays much like his boss and mentor.
The regular football is unveiling him as a class player and if he doesn't have a future at Arsenal, he's certainly Championship material.
The youngster is another who plays much like his manager, but he's developing at a rate even Bowyer would be proud of.
He should get another start tomorrow and looks to have a strong future in the game.
The former Reading man is benefitting form the injury to Josh Cullen and so far, he's doing very well indeed.
he has to support Joe Aribo as well as moving the ball from side to side, but he's certainly a competent player at this level.
The two forwards get the plaudits, but Aribo is one who should be getting more exposure.
He's such a busy player, joining the attack but also linking play much deeper. He's an unsung hero and will only get better.
Taylor is one of the big names at the club, having snubbed Sunderland in the summer and he's justifying Bowyer's efforts to take him to the club.
His goals are crucial and his partnership with Karlan Grant is one of the most exciting in League One.
Nicky Ajose started the FA Cup loss against Doncaster, but he won't play tomorrow.
In the summer, Grant looked to be on the edge of an exit having been with Crawley last season. Some trouble on holiday marked him out as one who might not have a future at the club.
He's proven everyone wrong and is on his way to becoming a top class footballer. he's got a bit of everything, pace and power with clinical finishing as a garnish.
