Pitch announcer Brian Cole has insisted that The Valley pitch was not waterlogged when it was inspected by the referee at 2 pm today. The postponed match has been rearranged for Tuesday and Brian will have to make an evening journey from Portsea Island.
Charlton have slipped back to 7th on goal difference after Sunderland drew 2-2 at home with Gillingham. Gobby's Oxford United are now just three points behind with games in hand.
Doncaster won four in a row with a 1-0 win at Lincoln, but Omar Bogle did not even feature on the bench. Hull managed to win 1-0 against Swindon, but Peterborough went down 2-0 to Shropshire's finest (and I don't mean T'Pau).
If you bought a streaming pass it will still be valid on Tuesday. Apparently there was some good banter this afternoon with Johnnie Robinson, but I went to watch three former Charlton players on BBC1 in the West Bromwich Albion v Fulham game.
Ademola Lookman still looks very tasty, one of our best discoveries in recent years. Charm merchant Karlan Grant fluffed a last minute chance to score for the Baggies, the commentators noting that he did not seem to know what to do with the ball. Conor Gallagher, on a year's loan from Chelsea at The Hawthorns, was relatively anonymous.
Snotty Parker must keep Wrigley's chewing gum in business. He makes some very strange head movements, perhaps he is trying to blot out the memory of all those keepy uppies for the Macdonald's ad in the garden of that house on Charlton Heights.
Guy Mowbray as a commentator is a prime exponent of Coleman balls. If he says Team A could score any minute, you know that Team B will score (it happened in Manchester United v. Liverpool last Sunday). Today he said 15 minutes before the end that there is another goal in this game so you knew it would end 2-2.
Desmond from Deal writes: Bowyer may think he made a smart move by watering the pitch, but he has only postponed his day of reckoning. That pitch was playable, I know because I have helped the groundsman at Deal Town.
