Huddersfield Town fans, are you pictured in our gallery from the stands at The Valley?

A first-half free-kick by Johann Gudmundsson and a second-half double by Tony Watt ended Town’s recent run of bright away results (seven points from nine) and left them 14th.

Powell, who was making his first return to The Valley since his controversial sacking a year ago, didn't believe the occasion got to his side.

And with Charlton’s £5 admission offer swelling the attendance to 25,545, the manager said he was sorry the 2,151-strong Town contingent had little to cheer.

“We never got ourselves going,” said Powell, who got a great ovation from the home fans, who broke into applause in the third minute to reflect the shirt number he wore as a Charlton player.
