You have to hand it to Pawel Abbott. He has endured a poor start to his Charlton career since arriving with great expectations of being a 20-goal a season striker, but that hasn't dimmed his enthusiasm or determination.
He made a telling contribution in Saturday's important win over Peterborough and despite a strong deflection, his goal was greeted with euphoria by his team-mates who mobbed him on the floor. Pav is also quoted in the Newsshopper saying that he hasn't thought about leaving since he arrived and that he doesn't blame fans who have given him stick because he has deserved it.
He has dropped down the pecking order to fifth as things stand but there has been no sign of petulance from Pawel. Instead, he has waited for his chance under Chris Powell and taken it. I haven't been impressed with him to date but if he's prepared to tough it out and have a real go, then that's good enough for me.
I was also impressed to hear that he engages directly with fans via Twitter. Rather him than me!
He sent me a not on Twitter after I welcomed him back into the fold. I also heard his interview, and he sounded a very unassuming fellow. Let's hope he can get another tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYou can only admire him and give him his due respect for sticking with it. So many would be petulant. Good to hear he isn't just on Twitter for looks.
ReplyDeleteYou don't fancy engaging with your fans on Twitter then Dave?!
