Well deserved and it must feel extra nice for MG himself after being released from Plymouth last time he got promoted. Pleased for him and hope he makes the step up.
As has been said, a well deserved contract extension. I was a big critic of his but he certainly turned things around and even without the Wembley goal he would have deserved this.
I’d imagine that’s a case of Bell coming in and needing to level up in wages. Either way well deserved. As others have said, such a turnaround in performances and played a huge part in our promotion (even ignoring the obvious goal!)
Towards the back end of the season he often looked like the most composed man on the pitch. Never seemed rushed. Was a colossus in the first leg playoff game. Never missed a header.
Really pleased for him. Seems like a genuine down to earth guy who’s developed in to a tremendous defender for us
Absolutely love that. Whatever you may or may not think of MG that’s rewarding a guy who played every game and scored the winner at Wembley. Classy Charlton. I reckon he’ll excel this year.
The Lincoln home game when both McIntyre and then Mitchell made mistakes, Macca held that defence together as well as scoring the 1st goal before Docherty got the equaliser. A season of two halves for CAFC and Gillesphey where Macauley was excellent from January onwards.

Nice surprise to see us getting a first team players contract sorted early.
Will be interesting to see how Gillesphey vs Bell plays out.
From the mistake at Blackpool onwards he looked like a CB that could make the step up.
Look at their Charlton careers since, and both have been bloody solid in Defence since.
I reckon he’ll excel this year.
