Phillips Mom. 

What about her?

She's probably a keeper as well. 

Top top man Dillon Phillips .
I won an auction thing from CACT and spent a morning down the training ground with my two youngest hosted by Keith Peacock a few weeks back just after the Wycombe win.
Dillon did minimal training that day due to having played on the Tuesday and the Saturday game against Luton coming up
so he made a beeline for me and the boys and called us over for a kick about .
i told him we’re going to Wembley (didn’t tell him the bit about us losing there) 
i took a penalty against him and said you gotta do your best and try and save it , I gave him the eyes and wrong footed him slotting it in the corner,  he was small broken .
he then signed a pair of his gloves and gave them to the boys , I’d watched him spit on them a few times beforehand euuuugh .

He said at the Plymouth game the bench were trying to get him info about which way the Plymouth penalty taker usually goes  , it didn’t get to him , he likes to go with instinct and he saved the penalty and the bench were trying to get him to go the other way !!! 

Yep it was a pony penalty unlike mine that he’s still probably having sleepless nights over

Good interview that. Nice to see that Charlton players still share the driving, I remember the Brighton based players in the 90s used to drive up together!

Dillon showed great character to make that excellent save from Leadbetter so soon afterwards.

I'm not convinced Naby recovered quite so well and wonder if the yellow card was not the only reason for his substitution.

Sarr should never ever pass towards goal, always across 

Have to agree that Naby got off lightly. Doesn’t look where he’s passing and hits it far too hard, straight at the goal but slightly away from Dills. Horrible error from Dills, obviously, but the perilous situation was all created by Sarr. 

Eitherway, it didn’t matter in the end and good character from both them to push it behind them and get on with the game, in particular Dillon who went back to his usual assured self. 

Definitely one of the players ready for the step up to the a Championship. 

Be interesting what Bowyer does for his No 2 keeper. Holy has signed for Ipswich, so he's out of the equation.

To me the OG was 80/20 blame to Dillon as it's clearly his mistake, but Sarr's backpass was rather firmly struck, maybe it was nerves, and as others have said at the goal rather than wide of it.

I think the yellow helped make the decision to take him off but I think Bowyer would have been looking at it without the booking, having Pearce as his replacement certainly made it easier.

Nabs was having a bit of a tough time with Wyke as well and looked a bit vulnerable to their high wingers when Purrington pushed forward. The shape change fixed the second problem but Pearce quietend Wyke down nicely - I’m not sure Wyke won a header in the second half. I suspect Bowyer was very close to starting Pearce today anyway and the way Naby was not looking completely solid first half and then got booked made his mind up. Good decisive management. Tough on Sarr but the right call for the specifics of that match.
