Second team likely against Hartlepool
The Addicks are likely to field a second team against League 2's Hartlepool in the Carling Cup tomorrow night, although with some reinforcements on the bench in the case of difficulty. Myhre could well start in goal with Spector on the left and El Karkouri and Sorondo in the centre. There is no clear replacement for Luke Young on the right, even though Spector can play there.
If it's 4-4-2, then it would be interesting to see Bent and Bartlett together up front, although a possible alternative is Bartlett and JJ if it is thought that Bent needs to be rested.
The midfield is more difficult to predict, although it would be nice to see Sam given a chance. Hughes can be relied upon to weave his magic in cup games against lower division sides, while Kishishev should be able to carve up the Hartlepool attack and pass the ball forward without losing possession. Holland may also feature, although it would be nice to see Ambrose in action.
Hartlepool have their origins in an amateur team, West Hartlepool, which won the FA Amatuer Cup in 1904-5. They turned professional in 1908, initially as Hartlepools United. In 1974 they had a four match second round marathon with Bournemouth in the League Cup drawing 1-1 away, 2-2 at home, 1-1 away and finally winning 1-0 at home.
After a long stay in the lowest division, they won promotion to the then Division 2 in 2002-3, second to Rushden and Diamonds with whom they drew in the last game of the season. The Irthlingborough side were relegated the following season, but Hartlepool finished 6th in both of their seasons in what became League 1. The club's mascot is a monkey and, following a long stint in the monkey suit, a former occupant was elected mayor of the town.
Hartlepool was, of course, formerly the constituency of Peter Mandelson whose grandfather Herbert Morrison lived in Eltham. It is alleged that one of his aides accompanied him into a fish and chip shop in the constituency and seeing the mushy peas said, 'can I have some of your avocado mousse?'
In keeping with the spirit of the occasion, our sponsors Kingdom Signs have named third string canine reporter Monty Martin from Blewbury, Oxon as match analyst. The excitable spaniel has been training for the occasion by walking four miles across the fields to his day job as meeter and greeter at the Didcot based signage firm.
