Bowyer assesses Davis

Aiden McGeady did not appear at Stoke because he was ill during the week. Lee Bowyer also gave his rather mixed opinions about debutante David Davis, but thinks he will improve during his stay at Charlton: Has his say on Davis

One more deal

David Davis is in on loan from Birmingham City. Richard Cawley comments, 'Very experienced midfielder who is strong and sounds like he will be a crowd pleaser. Loan deal until the end of the season. Takes temporary deals to six - only five can be in a matchday squad - but we know Lee Bowyer loves to rotate his midfield options.'

Cawley adds, 'Got to say that probably the big win for Charlton in this window is keeping Lyle Taylor. Absolutely no doubt in my mind he can be the difference in the run-in. All starts with a huge game tomorrow v Barnsley.'
