Blackburn Rovers v Charlton Athletic

CHARLTON have a fully fit squad available for Saturday's attempt to breathe fresh life into their ailing Premiership survival campaign at Blackburn.

Manager Alan Pardew confirmed that injury doubts Darren Bent, Hermann Hreidarsson and Ben Thatcher trained on Thursday and afterwards reported fit.

Pardew would not elaborate but hinted at a tactical change after drawing last week's must-win home game against Sheffield United.

He said: "I'm looking at one or two things which I would prefer to keep close to my chest. It's another massive game and if I'm a little bit sheltered, then I hope you will understand.

"There have been times in the last two games when we have not reacted well. Whether it's been to goals for or goals against. Our reaction must be of a different nature."

With more than 6,000 Charlton supporters travelling by road, rail and air to back the team at Ewood Park, Pardew concedes that the atmosphere will be different.

He added: "The response from supporters has been phenomenal and we could not ask for anything better. It's now down to the team to deliver.

"We're down to three games now and it's all about who is going to keep their nerve, whether it's Sheffield United, Wigan, Fulham, West Ham or ourselves.

"But I want to stress that the commitment of this team cannot be faulted."
