Valley manager Guy Luzon isn’t planning to play for a draw in Saturday’s encounter at high-flying Middlesbrough.

The Addicks will be long outsiders to get anything from the game having not won a match since beating Reading 1-0 on November 8.

Boro, meanwhile, are only one point off leading duo Bournemouth and Derby and through to the last 16 of the FA Cup following a stunning 2-0 win at Premier League champions Manchester City in the fourth round.

Despite this, Luzon will not be sitting back hoping to return south with a share of the spoils.

He said: “I’m never happy with a point before the game.

“I think Middlesbrough is a very good team.

“They won at Man City two weeks ago and they are a very strong team but we need to focus about our team, about our quality and do everything to come back with the three points.”

Luzon was pressed whether leading scorer Igor Vetokele was fully fit after the striker was hauled off during last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Rotherham.

“Igor Vetokele is 100 percent fit,” he replied.

“With players if I have something to tell them I tell them, not through the media.”

Charlton signed Roger Johnson on Tuesday after the central defender became a free agent following his release from Wolves.

Asked what he would bring to the current squad, Luzon said: “Firstly experience, because he has experience from a higher level.

“He used to play in the Premier League and needs to bring us those qualities as a central defender. He is good with the head, he has good placing and I’m sure he will help us.”

But Johnson’s lack of recent games means Addicks fans will have to wait a bit longer to see their latest recruit in action.

“Of course he is not now ready to play, it will take one or two weeks to bring him to a good rhythm.

“When he is a in a good rhythm he will join us.

“The last two games we’ve been OK in the defence.

“Defence is not only central defenders or right-back or midfielders - when we speak about the defensive side it is all the 14 players who take part in the game.

“Johnson will bring us experience, he is another good person to have in the squad because we have 18 games in less than three months.”
