Charlton manager Phil Parkinson is giving nothing away over his team selection for the derby against Gillingham at Priestfield on Saturday.

The Addicks boss (pictured) started with two out-and-out strikers for the first time this season against Huddersfield last Saturday and saw Izale McLeod score the winner in his first start of the campaign.

But Parkinson said after the game it was too early to say what formation he would play against the Gills for first time league encounter between the sides in 28 years.

He said: "We're not that naive to think one way of playing, or one group of players, is going to be enough to carry us through the entire season.

"The team has to evolve as you go along, and you have to pick teams for each individual game.

"Teams have obviously been watching us and come with a gameplan, as Oldham did, and we have to deal with that. I also felt Izale deserved a chance because he's been a threat every time he's come on."

He added: "It worked against Huddersfield, but we will look at Gillingham next Saturday and see what's best again."
