Nathan Jones is relishing Thursday's play-off semi-final second leg against Wycombe Wanderers in front of what is set to be a sold out home crowd.
Reflecting on the goalless first leg, Jones said: "It was a real hard-fought game and an important one, because we didn’t want to come into the game with a deficit and have to chase anything. We wanted to come in with a minimum of parity and we managed to achieve that. Now we have to win a game at The Valley which is something we’ve been very good at."
Asked for the latest team news, the gaffer said: "No one ever comes through it 100 per cent - everyone comes through with a bruise or a bit of stiffness and tightness. We have that naturally from a game of that intensity, importance and pressure, but we’re in a good place as a squad. To get to this point with the availability rate that we’ve had and do have, we’re content.
"We’re glad to have Chuks back [after his suspension]. We’ve had to suffer three games without him, but he gives us a headache because now he’s available and extremely motivated."
Jones was full of praise for the Charlton faithful, who were in tremendous voice during Sunday's clash at Adams Park.
"We asked them to get behind us and they have," he explained. "The momentum’s built and the numbers have grown with the songs, the atmosphere, the adrenaline and the energy that they’ve brought. It’s coincided with the team being in a better place, so it’s the chicken and egg scenario.
"They’ve been superb - they’ve travelled in their numbers and really got on board with everything. We’re asking them for, at the moment, one more big effort because they can be vital and a packed, singing, energetic Valley can be a wonderful place to play if you’re a home player."
