George Jones reports
The new Addicks boss spent more than six years in charge at the Buckinghamshire club, a very successful period that saw him guide them into the Championship for the first time.
His MK teams also ended seasons with over 100 goals to their name on two occasions but tonight he’ll head for the away dressing room and will be looking to get one over on his former employers.
A victory would be his first in charge of Charlton, having recorded two draws thus far, and it would also secure our passage into the third round of the Emirates FA Cup.
Brighton & Hove Albion await tonight’s victors and whoever progresses will head to the Sussex coast on the weekend of January 7th.

Josh Magennis, Andrew Crofts and Fredrik Ulvestad are three first-team regulars that will not make the trip to Buckinghamshire.
The Addicks will also be without the injured Declan Rudd, Jason Pearce, Ricky Holmes, Harry Lennon, Chris Solly and Ahmed Kashi. Patrick Bauer is suspended but Morgan Fox and Ademola Lookman could return following illness.
For MK Dons, Joe Walsh and Nicky Maynard are doubts with ankle and hamstring injuries respectively.
This evening’s match will be our third match-up this calendar year.
Tonight’s match will be officiated by Robert Jones.
So far this season, he has taken charge of 22 games, where he has brandished 72 yellow cards and two reds.
He oversaw our encounter with Rochdale earlier this season and, tonight, Jones will be supported by linesmen Alan Young and Ian Smedley, and fourth official Josh Smith.
