Charlton Athletic 3 Rochdale 1
Whoopee, a win. Now do I make that four decent performances in a row or have I just eaten too much chocolate? I listened in on Player and unlike normal, it was actually quite enjoyable. Some good individual performances, particularly from Eccleston, Racon and Parrett, plenty of heart and some pleasing passages of play.

As someone said on Twitter: “So if you’re sat in London it’s all Powell’s fault, if you were at the game, you’re proud of the team and feel robbed. I trust those in Bristol.”
Well I’m even further away and was as frustrated as the next Addick as I scurried around pushing kids out of the way to get my hands on as many creme eggs as possible at the Easter egg hunt I was at, whilst periodically checking my phone for match updates. Yes, we threw away 3 points but not only did it sound as if we played pretty decent and scored two goals, we also battled to take something away from the game and fought for the shirt. And then I’ll reserve my wrath for the referee until I see the highlights. But it does sound like he was a twat.

Unsure whether this if a result of our ‘agreement’ with Liverpool as owners, managers and coaching staff have changed at both clubs since Jonjo Shelvey’s move in the early summer. Liverpool’s manager has in fact changed twice!
However Richard Murray had said previously that he didn’t expect any of Liverpool’s young players to move to The Valley because Charlton couldn’t afford the wages. Another sign then that the new owners have a bit more cash.
