It was an early kickoff in the sunshine this afternoon with the Addicks welcoming fellow playoff contenders Huddersfield Town to the Valley. It was a day of special guests, with commentator Martin Tyler on CharltonTV reporting on his new show highlighting the historic 7-6 Charlton victory of lore and Martin Pringle joining at halftime as part of the Nordic former players’ return. And it didn’t take long before Charlton set the tone. Within thirty seconds, Thierry Small had pressured the Huddersfield defender into a mistake and provided a lovely cross that Matt Godden headed home to open the scoring. Then on seventeen minutes Luke Berry provided for Tyreece Campbell, who’s low drive through traffic nestled neatly into the far left corner to make it two nil.
It wasn’t’ until the second half that the Addicks scored next when Berry again linked up with Campbell who blasted in his second of the afternoon from about eighteen yards. The final goal came from Captain Greg Docherty’s shot, which cannoned off the crossbar and rebounded off the keeper and into the net. Give the man the goal and TC the well-deserved assist!
The Addicks dominated in midfield and their constant pressure won many tackles and interceptions making Huddersfield totally ineffective. It was a bright, sunny day with plenty to smile about.
Mansfield Town up next, where the Addicks will look to further pressure Wycombe and Wrexham above them.

The Guns are firing once more... but wait... there are cries of CEASEFIRE... Its sounds like there has been a bit of a bloodbath, a massacre of epic proportions, because Huddersfield have been SUNK!!
What a difference a week makes…. Printers working, new router in Place, and Sharon’s pushed the boat out and got some chocolate hob nobs, happy days indeed!
Dog sitting for the daughter, who has Sky. I have seldom ever been more entertained and more importantly comfortable, watching Charlton on TV.
Well done NJ, well done the lads.
Two goals first half, two goals in the second.

2 players often criticised for their end product delivered today. A fantastic cross from Small early on and TC's motm performance well rewarded with 2 goals.
Docherty a machine in the middle and a real leader.
Lost to Rotherham, 5 wins and 1 draw in next 6
Lost to Birmingham, 5 wins and 1 draw in next 6
Lost to Peterborough, battered a play off rival
Long may it continue.
