Just imagine Jonny Williams saying after Saturday's game:
"It's an amazing feeling. At times I did wonder when I'd score my first Charlton goal and I still can't quite believe it."
Love a bit of speculation of formations so, if Williams can come on as a sub like last night in a forward position it might be interesting to see a 4-4-2 diamond of:
Maatsen hasn't come here to watch Purrington! But if he's not up to speed yet then yes, either of these could be interesting. Second one you'd put Maatsen in for Levitt I think and push Gunter up
I have to be honest and say Bowyer can't take the credit for that. But he can build on that and as you say, start Williams on Saturday and for the next game and the next game, injury permitting. I am still irritated that Vennings started above Williams against Sunderland in all honesty.
It isn't fair on Vennings. He could turn out to be a very tidy player, but he isn't ready yet. He doesn't affect games at this level yet. It is something Williams can do.
I agree with you Muttley, maybe. Lee done it to kick Johnny up the arris, and get a reaction, which you could say has worked.
I hadn't realised he had been asked to play as a False 9 for Wales!
Watching the highlights, he was nearly on the end of a chance a few minutes earlier. Great to see him charging into the box, as so often in recent games for us he's been hopelessly deep

Might be a good position for him at Charlton
He played there in the second half against Leeds at home and push Phillips deeper and deeper until he was almost playing as a sweeper.
The reason he has been so deep since the restart is, in honesty, we have been poor and haven't been able to get the ball in the positions Johnny needs it.
As a counter argument to Bowyer's comments, Giggs played him as a False 9, thus Jonny didn't have to sprint to get into the box, as he would have been further up the pitch in the first place!
Sad to see him go but what can you do when a Championship team comes in for a player with 6 months left on his deal? I hope he does well at Cardiff and stays fit as much as possible
Obviously a really nice guy and a good footballer as well. For an ex-Palace player, the fact he is so well liked speaks for itself.
And gone from playing League 1 to the Championship so maybe others recognise his talent more than some do here.
Personally, I will always remember his performance at Wembley. He changed that final after coming on as a sub by running at a tiring Sunderland defence and putting them on the back foot. And we all know what happened later on after he did that.
Ta, conspiracy theorist in me wonders if that's a result of his medical considering how long this has taken (considerig this was reported Saturday night)
Good luck Jonny hope this move works out for you,shame you couldn’t fulfil your full potential (cause I believe there is more to come) but thanks for the smiles & memories in the promotion season...
wonder now how many games he will start & actually how many he finishes too...probably throw in a couple of goals too boot,anyways onwards n upwards for The Addicks...!!!
Good luck Jonny, and thank you. Sad to see a player leave who was genuinely liked a lot by the players and fans alike. Haven’t had too many that we have taken to quite like him over the past year and a half or so.

Good luck Jonny. I wish you all the very best.
Think its a bargain myself at 200k but doubt we wouldve signed him again in the summer. Good luck Johnny :"(

Lovely bloke and am genuinely gutted he's gone.
