Many times over the years have I seen Charlton go a couple of goals up only to lose their nerve and let the opposition back into the game to either draw or snatch the win.
What made yesterdays result so important in the development of the current Charlton side and manager was that despite letting Rochdale back into the game, we kept going and managed to keep heads up and grab the late winner. How many times have we been on the receiving end of that type of result over the last 4 or 5 seasons?
It was good to see Wiggins score, an event that will no doubt help his confidence going forward. It's also really good to see Wagstaff continue to make the right wing his domain, keeping the talented Green out of the side.
With our promotion rivals picking up points yesterday it was really important we kept the momentum and pressure on those around us. So to stay top with a game in hand over several of them is a great way to head into our next couple of games, home to Chesterfield on Saturday followed by the trip to Milton Keynes midweek. If we can pick up all six points (and I believe we can) from those two games It's going to be looking pretty good as we go into October.
1st of October we go to Sheff Utd, so six points would be very nice between now and then, thank you very much.
