Well what I can I say about Saturday it was awful the referee was completely delusional after not letting us have that goal from Patrick Bauer but these things happen, also another thing that happened was that Tony Watt made his official return to The Valley after Josh Magennis sadly went off on a stretcher, that was one sight we did not want to see.

The controversial 23-year-old did not make much of a difference in the game on Saturday but he got a lot of game time which is something he needs badly.

Speaking with the clubs official site Tony Watt had this to say “The supporters have never been bad to me,They`ve always been brilliant.

“I hope they realise that I want to be here and know what I can do. Every time I`ve stepped out onto that pitch, they`ve been fantastic with me. Hopefully it continues and it was nice to hear my name chanted again” He said.

“I spoke to the gaffer during the week and I think the aim was more for 20-30 minutes. Obviously, it wasn`t in the best of circumstances that I came on with big Josh getting injured.

He added.

“He`s been vital for us but it was good for me to get some minutes under my belt so quickly. Sometimes when you`re not expecting it, it can be better for you.

“I knew our game plan, Millwall are a big, physical side and they know how to play, how to head the ball and how to play to their strengths.

“Big Josh gives us something different, he has been brilliant since he joined the club and I just tried to give my best and play my way.”

So it looks like Tony does want to play for Charlton after all even though we had that confirmed from Karl Robinson in his Press Conference , but to hear it from him himself is a much better assurance, but how long will it last?

Tony Watt then gave his opinion on the season on the season ahead and this is what he had to say.
“It`s obviously been a bit topsy-turvy with the new gaffer coming in, He`s not had his squad but he`s beginning to get that now. I hope that we can really challenge. “

He also added.

“I honestly believe that we can with this squad. It won`t be failure if we don`t go up as the manager is only new into the job but he might see it like that. He won`t be happy.”

What did you think of Tony Watt`s performance on Saturday?
