Exeter City vs Charlton Athletic - 4th September 2010 (3pm)

Exeter Team News -

Captain Matt Taylor looks set to miss out again but Daniel Nardiello and David Noble are available for selection.

Taylor has missed City's last two matches with a reoccurrence of his back spasms and a return date for last season's star player is uncertain.

"It is going to be tricky as it is one of those injuries where it is about it settling down naturally," Tisdale explained.

"There is no particular timescale we can put on it. I think his target will be the Hartlepool game (11th Sept) but he is going to have a weeks training to get to that point.

"We are getting stronger. Troy has had another 50 minutes so he is pushing more and more. I am very pleased we will have a strong line-up on Saturday."

Marcus Stewart will miss out again with his toe injury.

Charlton Team News:

Scottish international defender Christian Dailly is expected to be out for Phil Parkinson's side after suffering a cracked eye socket during their midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie.

His manager is waiting on the verdict from a specialist.

Striker Paul Benson started against Dagenham in midweek and is expected to make his League One bow for Charlton at St James Park tomorrow.

The 30-year-old is well know to Grecian fans from his days with Dagenham, both in League Two and the Conference, and Paul Tisdale admitted today he is a fan of the lower league goal-getter.

"He is a player I've admired," Tisdale told the Official Website.

"He can score goals, he is elusive and he is mobile. I've always liked him as a player.

"He is a team player as well and I think he has scored down here before so he will be no stranger to us here." 

Charlton go close at The Park in April

"Tuesday was full of purpose and energy and I think we needed it. We looked like a really effective team.

"The game against Leyton Orient was difficult for us and a flat performance. It was one we wish to forget."

"It will be a contrast to Tuesday's game where Dagenham played a very direct style.

"Exeter are more of a football team who can change their system during a game which is something we'll have to be prepared for.

"Tactically we'll need to know exactly what we're doing as they've got some good players. They did well to survive in this division last year and they'll be looking to progress again.

"It was a tough game on Tuesday. But I think we've got good competition for the squad now."
