City’s trip to The Valley tomorrow simply has to go better than it did last season.Charlton Athletic became the first team to beat Blues in League One - one of just three in total to beat them in their record-breaking season - and Chris Davies’ side failed to register a shot on target.

A repeat result on Saturday would all but end Blues’ faint hopes of reaching the Championship playoffs.

Successive defeats to Millwall and Middlesbrough have left Blues eight points adrift of sixth, needing snookers to make up ground on Wrexham and hoping that the teams between them and the playoffs slip up too.
