da betsson： Speaking to the South London Press, Sky Sports’ EFL pundit Danny Higginbotham has helped highlight the key Lee Bowyer decision that could decide Charlton Athletic’s play-off tie against Doncaster Rovers on Friday night.
What’s the word, then?
Well, the Addicks go into the second leg of the semi-final clash at The Valley with a narrow aggregate lead following their 2-1 win in Yorkshire last weekend.
The south London outfit used a system deploying wing-backs to great effect at the Keepmoat Stadium, and it was something that clearly didn’t go unnoticed by Higginbotham.
He told the South London Press: “The wing-backs were excellent.”
Higginbotham is right too as Ben Purrington and Anfernee Dijksteel were both outstanding against Grant McCann’s men.
The fact that the formation worked so well against Rovers may well have provided manager Bowyer with quite the conundrum ahead of the big clash on Friday.
Vital decision
While the wing-back system worked so well against Doncaster on Saturday, Bowyer would have good reason to switch things up for the second leg.
Charlton have enjoyed great success using a 4-4-2 diamond formation on their own patch in League One this term, with it helping them pick up 53 points from a possible 69 available at The Valley.
Bowyer must make up his mind whether to go with the system that served him so well at Doncaster or revert back to his old faithful on Friday.

It is easily a decision that could decide the tie given the game is still firmly on a knife-edge, and the 42-year-old needs to make the correct call.
Given he has already told the players who will be playing on Thursday, the wait is on to see whether he decides to stick or twist when the team is announced at 6:45pm.
