Snapshot of the game
Everyone greets Matty Godden. The 33 -year -old season 18 sealed the victory with confidence after he ran towards the Chuks Aneke movie in the 71st minute. Route one and highly effective. Luke Berry flew to the Addices ahead before Tom Mcintyre’s flagrant handball was punished for the penalty of Dara Costelloe. Northampton Provid Resistance and some problems for hosts. The former Charlton man, Tariqe Fosu, produced a terrible lady at the beginning of the second half and from there Charlton finally built an attacking steam head.
Tactical approach
Lloyd Jones returned to Charlton’s background, but Macaulay Gillephey was lost with an hamstring. Gillesphey’s distribution skills were lost with the often landslides with the ball, partly at an impressive opening of 45 minutes. Jones made a change at the beginning of the second half, McIntyre replaced by Aneke, and led some more serious questions that Beeing did to the background of the copblers.
Rigor
Matty Godden. Some strikers would not feel that the day was going to be there when a header from a short distance from the crossbar. Matty Godden is not one of those strikers. Clinical when he counted. Eighteen goals this season and its importance for this side of Addicks cannot be underestimated, particularly with the minutes of Chuks Aneke that must be handled and thousands Lieburn ruled out the match.
Better
The winning goal. There were more than 20,000 attendees to the valley and the eruption of the noise after Godden finished Fait Burge was something to savor.
Party groan
McIntyre handball. The Cruz de Fosu was excellent, but Portsmouth’s loan seemed to panic when his relieved arm referee Ollie Yates is one of the easiest penalty decisions he ever had to take.
A point of conversation in the pub
Who does Charlton because facing the play-offs? The first two can still be achieved, but, in reality, it seems that knockouts for Addices. If Charlton clings to his current position or can even improve it in third place, then guarantees that the Play-Offic match will be at home. Now there are 23 points of its last 10 games, the only club in the League one that can match that total in the same period is already promoted by Birmingham City.
What the boss had to say
“We are a job in progress. We have had to go through difficult times, we come from 18 in the League one and we had not won in 18 games, where we are now. But what race we have bone.”
