Match Preview

Benson still banned for Addicks New Charlton manager Chris Powell will be without Paul Benson when he takes charge for the first time against Plymouth. Striker Benson serves the final game of a three-match ban following his red card at Colchester on New Year's Day. Lee Martin was this week recalled from his loan spell by Ipswich but Powell still has plenty of options in attack in Joe Anyinsah, Akpo Sodje, Pawel Abbott and Nathan Eccleston. Liverpool loanee Eccleston came on as a substitute in the 2-2 draw at Sheffield Wednesday last week and could make his full debut at The Valley. Chris Solly is back in training after a long-term ankle injury but fellow defender Kelly Youga is out for the season with a knee problem. Plymouth boss Peter Reid will be without two key players for the trip. The Pilgrims' 3-1 victory at MK Dons was marred by injuries to defender Onismor Bhasera (knee) and forward Joe Mason (ankle). Zimbabwean Bhasera had given Argyle the lead and put through his own net before being stretchered off at stadium:MK, and he could be replaced by Jim Paterson. Mason, who had been enjoying an impressive run of appearances, may not return to first-team action this month, which could give Rory Patterson an extended spell in the starting XI. Enforced changes aside, Reid looks set to stick with the same players who secured Argyle's fourth away win of the campaign. The Greens were denied all three points in the reverse fixture at Home Park by a 90th-minute Benson equaliser.

Match Report

Maiden win for Powell Chris Powell marked his Charlton managerial debut with a 2-0 Valley triumph over Plymouth. Both sides struggled to create chances in a disappointing first half, although Plymouth keeper David Button produced a fine stop to prevent Scott Wagstaff firing the Addicks in front after 28 minutes. Argyle's Kari Arnason saw a stunning 49th-minute volley go agonisingly over the bar, but it was Charlton who broke the deadlock six minutes later. Marcel Seip, who was recently on loan at Charlton, made a poor backpass and Wagstaff capitalised on the error before placing a low shot beyond the reach of Button. Seip produced a crucial clearance to prevent Joe Anyinsah's header doubling the advantage before Rory Patterson almost grabbed an equaliser with an overhead kick which was well saved by Rob Elliot. Charlton made the game safe in the 90th minute when on-loan Liverpool striker Nathan Eccleston's run into the box ended with a low shot past Button.
