Preview: Colchester v Charlton
Saturday's victory over Exeter City saw manager Phil Parkinson make use of two super subs - Izale McLeod and debutant Tim Breaker.
While McLeod was busy jumping around corner flags and showing his vest to The Valley's North Stand following his first home goal in two years, a more restrained Breaker was left to face the press.
Where was Phil?
No doubt lying low before the visit to the dreaded ex. The Addicks boss returns to the club he once led to the Championship.
But he denied it was going to be a difficult return to Essex.
"The stick doesn't really bother me," he said during last week's press conference. "I'm very much looking forward to it."
Talking of exes, Charlton fans could be left wishing again the club had never sold Kevin Lisbie.
Not because of his golascoring exploits for the Addicks - although we always have Liverpool, Super Kev - but the fact he always looks like scoring against Charlton.
In the team news, Breaker believed Jose Semedo could be making a return to fitness for Tuesday's match, following a groin strain. Matt Spring will be hopeful of keeping his place, however.
Ticketless Addicks fans can still get a seat from the Colchester box office but last reports suggest they are running out with just 300 left this morning.
