Charlton Athletic 2 Leyton Orient 0

Today, Miami International Airport, the Car Rental Center (sic). 11.45am local time. An anxious looking man spotted acting irrationally walking around vast car park pretending to find a child car seat whilst pressing the refresh button on his Blackberry every 5 seconds.

Having fun yet?

Today sounded like a strong willed performance, a little nervy in the 2nd half not helped I am sure by a skittish Valley, but unless this is your first season, it is wholly understandable, but credit to the players and the management on banishing last week and lifting Addicks everywhere.

The others are still in the rear view mirror. 40 played, 6 left. Come on you reds.

Powell-ometer: Powell deserves to wear a wry smile tonight as the in favour again Waggy opened the scoring on his birthday and his two most recent loan signings combined for the second….. and breathe…..
Elsewhere: A late Ched Evans goal gave Sheffield United victory at 10-man Hartlepool.
