Chris Powell's full of friendly fire

Charlton are keeping busy with friendly games to allow new manager Chris Powell the opportunity to assess his players as quickly as possible.

Powell took a team including four triallists to play Spurs reserves at Chigwell yesterday where they lost 3-1.

Ben Williamson, who had been recommended by Glenn Hoddle's Academy in Spain, was given a chance but it was Callum Harriott who will have caught Powell's eye with a spectacular 30-yard goal.

After signing Bradley Wright-Phillips from Plymouth, Powell hopes to attract one or two more players to boost Charlton's promotion bid before the January transfer window closes.
