Summer signing Jack Payne is pushing to make his full debut after his impact off the bench against Accrington Stanley. Liam Rosenior might be tempted to stick with the same XI that started the dramatic late victory over Oxford last weekend.
Miles Leaburn's 94th-minute debut strike at Accrington Stanley looked to have handed Ben Garner a dream start to life in the Charlton hotseat, only for the hosts to rescue a point seconds later. Regardless, it was still a positive opening 90 minutes for the ex-Swindon Town boss, although he'll be desperate to rack up his first victory as manager in front of an expect home crowd. Conor Hourihane's measured late strike ensured the new era at Derby, which included seven debutants in the Rams XI, got off to the perfect start following a 1-0 victory over Oxford at Pride Park. But if the away side want to make it two wins from two, they'll have to come away from the Valley with maximum points for just the third time since 1998. 0:2
