You couldn't make it up

Leading Millwall fan Danny Baker has complained that photos displaying Gregg Wallace's Millwall tattoo are damaging the reputation of the club.  Cue an intervention by Rod Liddle or one of the other charm merchants that supports them.

Quite a few fans have said they would like to seen us drawn at home to Millwall in the FA Cup, but our record against them is not good.   We have done better against Palace (recalling the Fortune goal).  Someone like Stoke City at home would give us a chance.   My nightmare is Tamworth away.  Among top clubs I would like Tottenham Hotspur who could go all 'Spursy'.

Fans praised the contribution made by Terry Taylor in midfield at Walsall and Nathan Jiones was asked if he would make more use of him: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/nathan-jones-asked-if-he-can-see-terry-taylor-and-conor-coventry-starting-more-games-together-after-impressing-at-walsall/ 

The Gasman has said that the gesture from his teammates at Walsall meant a lot: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/gassan-ahadme-on-teammates-gesture-following-win-at-walsall-it-meant-a-lot/

It has been pointed out that his goals were scored against a League Two club, albeit it one in 2nd place and with excellent home form.   I am pleased to see any Charlton player finding form, even if has meant training with the legendary barn door in Kent.

'Matt's my boy'

Nathan Jones has taken on his critics by arguing that Matt Godden is a worthy replacement for Alfie May: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/nathan-jones-praises-gassan-ahadme-double-and-says-matty-godden-is-answering-questions-raised-by-alfie-may-departure/

May has scored fewer goals than Godden this season, although this may in part reflect his appearances for the Blues.

Jones explained that he didn't want to take a risk with Leaburn yesterday and had news about players returning: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/nathan-jones-explains-why-miles-leaburn-sat-out-charlton-win-at-walsall-and-gives-positive-update-on-another-absentee/
