Wycombe Wanderers 1 Charlton Athletic 2

I turned my phone on way too early on the flight from Gatwick yesterday hoping to detect the first bit of network coverage as we came in to land. Don’t try that at home.

Suffice to say we landed (around 11.30pm UK time) on Bermuda’s very long runway with a bump and a grin from ear to ear. The woman across the aisle looked at me strange as she caught my strained rendition of: “He’s better than Shaun.”

6 points after the hiccup at Stevenage is no more than we could have asked for, and I don’t care who you are but a midweek win at a tight little ground in the pissing rain, is always a bloody good result and I look forward to seeing the goals later on Player.

On Saturday at 2.30pm in the pub I was definitely questioning Powell’s ability to bring a response out of these players but he has sent a remarkable message that has been backed by fans with another 1,200 travelling to Buckinghamshire last night. 31 games to go.

Addicks at Adams Park: Exiled Addick; Doctor Kish; Addicks Third Division Diary.
Powell-ometer: He kept an unchanged 16 with Stephens sat in the stand. Surprisingly Powell didn’t feel the need to bolster the defence with a late substitution, instead bringing Waggy on to stretch our offensive play. What a fantastic response though to the defeat at Stevenage?
Elsewhere: It was a good night for the Addicks as Huddersfield drew their 7th game of the season at Scunny. Huddersfield keeper Ian Bennett saving two penalties to put their unbeaten league run at 40. Carlisle bounced back from Saturday to beat Wednesday 3-2, who had ex-United striker Gary Madine sent off.  A Lucas Akins double pushed Tranmere into 6th place after they won at Hartlepool. Tranny replaced MK, who lost 2-1 at Bramall Lane. Two spot-kicks from Jeff Hughes helped Notts County to a draw at Bury, Exeter scored their first away goals in a win at Walsall and Oldham’s late equaliser grabbed the Latics a draw at Preston, who now have the second most goals conceded in the division.
