Moyesy says: Neither side done enough to win the game. We didn’t perform well enough to get the goal. Both teams were keen not to concede any goals. We were under a bit of pressure in the second half, which you expect at The Valley. The pitch was lively and it was just one of those days. It was hard to get the ball down and pass it. But we’ve taken four points from Charlton this season and this has stopped them going above us so if there is a positive then that’s it.

We’ve got versatility in our squad and I wanted to see if we could get anything from the game. We had a go at it and you try these things when you can."

Moyesy on Dickie's Near Disaster: "When I saw the ball go through towards Richard’s arms I turned to say something to the bench and when I turned back I couldn’t believe the ball had bounced over his head. It must have hit a bit of concrete!" (08/04/06)

* During Saturday’s appalling match at The Valley, I thought you might be interested to know, as there were no points of interest in the match itself, my eldest son attempted to block a shot from Jay Bothroyd, in about the 30th minute. He did block it but it actually broke his arm!!!! I don’t know if you could post anything on the site as he reads it most days. His name is Jack Farrington, we live in Harlow, Essex, he will be at the game on Saturday against Spurs. All the best. Richard Farrington. (11/04/06)

It will be great to have Mikky back. We miss him so much. He should replace Killa on the left. Joey will keep his place at the back, while Faddy should stay up front with Biffa.

Moyesy says : The end of the season has crept up on us quickly. But they are six important games now. We would have been happy with this as a final points total at periods in the season. But once you get here you become greedy for more."

Biffa Beattie says: "I think we missed the opportunity in the derby and we missed one against Sunder-land, but the thing about football is that the next week you can put it right and Charlton is where we will look to do that. Charlton are going along quite nicely. We have dipped in form recently a little bit. We will be looking to pick it up again and go to the capital and get three points."

The one thing I know about the opposition is the number 6 and the number 10 are both bent. One of the Bents is Marcus who used to play for us. Last season he was a revelation this season he was poo. He has said a few nice things about us.

Marcus says: "I'm actually an Everton supporter now because of the passion that is there from the fans and the people within the club. Plus I played in some good times. Playing at Goodison is just awesome. I remember when I signed I was stood in the stadium and looked out. There was just a wow factor.

It is not the best stadium in the world, but when the fans get in there, there is such a passion. It is do-or-die and found it inspiring."

Well said Marcus.

Joey Yobo had a few things to say about Marcus.

Joeys says: "I think Marcus is a very good player. He showed that here but he got frustrated because he was left out of the team. Every footballer wants to play. He will be a threat with his pace. It will be good to meet up with him again. He might fancy his chances against me but he knows what I am all about. It's going to be pretty tough, but I'll just remind him that he never used to fancy it against me on the training ground!. He's got pace and I've got pace. He will try and move things to the side and take me on, but I don't think he's going to fancy it too much.,"
