I thought the emotion from scp in that interview was the best bit about it , he sounded like a man full of love for his team and in turn for us ,
Scp is a god
I'm sure when he came over to the fans after the players had left the pitch, he was quite tearful. I truly believe that this means as much to him as it does to us. There may not have been thousands of us there today, but in a crowd of just 3400 we out shouted them for 90 minutes. The Wendies may be massive, but we are Immense.

Agree he looked very close to tears and seemed to really want to show the fans what there support meant. Also noticed Damien Matthews, Alex Dyer and SCP at the end all hugging like we had won promotion there and then, good to see.
I think that at the season end- if he is asked, when did you actually realise that your team was going to get promotion he may highlight yesterday's game.
SCP is a modest man but also a very proud one, and who would not be immensely proud of what a rookie manager, a novice chairman and twenty strangers have achieved - all in just their first season !! Something special has been started - without a doubt there's much more to come, and days like yesterday will surely convince the owners that good investment in the summer will be well rewarded by this outstanding group of players and staff.
There are I'm sure many better managers than him out there, but I genuinely would not swap him for anyone.
I am proud a gentleman like himis our manager
I can only see him getting better. I think as a manager he's going to go far, I just hope he's around for a long time yet to take us with him.
@Stig I completely agree, I hope he's with us for a very long time. I don't doubt that there will be downs as well as the ups we are currently enjoying. He conducts himself superbly and you know it means as much to him as it does us.
I stand by my prediction that he will be the National manager one day. I hope that is the only way he will leave us.
Good of Dickov to say that. A lot of managers would be inclined to say the complete opposite after a match where we had two red cards (whether they were justified or not, doesn't matter)
The most interesting bit is that no one has said they don't want Hollands to play again or called him a c u next Tuesday Glad his suspension finishes a week before Hollands can return
well in fairness, this is hollands first red card of the season and he has played all season and been brilliant. Russell got two reds in 10 games. Hollands red was a hard one to call, russell kicked someone.
No its not a pretty fair thing to say , tbh Russell lost his head in the heat of battle a mistake made by countless better Footballers than him and one that will be made by countless other after him
His first red was for a tackle similar to Hollands
Russell was rightly made out to be a villain at hudds and he admitted it him self , but wrongly suggested by some to be this idiot who should never kick a ball for us again

Russell is he is a liability who has shown he will react stupidly to things, I also don't think he is that good of a player as some think he is. And at 32 isn't going to add much this season or next if we sign him, much rather give Stephens and Pritchard a chance.
We are almost over the line thanks to SCP and whichever XI he picks grinding out 1-0 wins since the Notts County debacle... Just like the last top-drawer manager we had, he has turned adversity to his / our advantage ... and is rightly proud.
The next real test is going to be the first few months in the championship ... let's hope the club can find and fund the right signings to keep this going into the top 10... I am 100% sure Chris Powell has the connections and management ability to take the next step and his current success will give him the loyalty and authority to keep making progress

“Charlton are top of the league because Chris Powell has got a group of players who do their jobs for 90 minutes of every game.
“What separates us from the likes of Charlton is individual discipline.”
COME ON YOU ADDICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As he is a good player who we will need
Russell that is
I'd say its pretty fair
