Club picks up fine

Charlton have been fined a mandatory £5,000 for the six cards picked up last night. From what I've heard of the match it was referee Styles who should have been fined. At least his request for a police escort from The Valley was reportedly denied.

Todorov is going for a scan on his knee injury today and it doesn't look good. The tackle that produced the injury did not even merit a yellow card, although Plymouth manager Holloway had the good grace to admit that his player should have been booked.

It's a small world. One of the people I met at my CEO's last night asked me if I was a Charlton supporter. Today he sent me this message:

'I used to be coached by keith peacock years ago in my school football team [Alexander McLeod, Abbey Wood], and have fond memories of saturdays spent at the Valley cheering Charlton on. Gavin peacock, keith's son, also used to stand on the touch line sometime and cheer us on in the school team: all a long time ago now, but formative stuff nonetheless.'

So he'll be a good person to work with ...
