Richard Cawley reports that Lloyd Jones leads the Championship for the most defensive clearances this season (374) and aerial defence work (222). He made 22 defensive interventions against the Blues yesterday.
Worrying news from Cawley that Addicks striker starlet Micah Mbick was stretchered off at Colchester's game at Newport yesterday and taken to hospital.
Upset U's supremo Danny Cowley told the Football League Paper: 'It looks a really bad one unfortunately. It's a horrendous tackle and I'm sick and tired of officials. He didn't even give a foul. It was so clear - the fourth official was there and he saw it all, that it was excessive force.'
On a happier note, congratulations to former Charlton director Lord Michael Grade of Yarmouth (isle of Wight) on his 83rd birthday today. Seeing him heading rather modestly towards the directors' entrance at Anfield at one game, I almost shouted a greeting.
He has been described as an 'admirably steadfast' Addick and in 2024 appeared on a podcast interview entitled 'Football Ruined My Life'.
Jonathan Grade is a Charlton supporter active on X.
