da prosport bet: Charlton’s promotion hopes were dealt a huge blow when Premier League outfit Huddersfield came calling for Karlan Grant’s services in January – the striker signed for the Terriers having struck 14 times for the Addicks in the 18/19 campaign.
Lee Bowyer’s side remain sixth in the standings, though, occupying the final, coveted play-off spot, which they will be hoping they can hold onto or improve upon for the rest of the season.
Losing Grant surely felt like a hammer blow to Bowyer and head of recruitment Steve Gallen, the latter of whom addressed the deal in the quarterly Fans’ Forum meeting at The Valley. The minutes read:
Watch the video below to see the most insane overhead kick you will see this week…
“SG [Gallen] said he and Lee Bowyer (LB) desperately didn’t want to sell Karlan Grant and fought tooth and nail to keep him. He said that if Karlan had wanted to stay, he believes the owner would have kept him. He said he had no ill will to Karlan as he was going to play in the Premier League and getting a huge wage increase. “
The Addicks have won just once since the 21-year-old hitman’s departure on deadline day, drawing three and losing one of the five games they have played since the start of February.
Grant and his former club could renew acquaintances in the Championship next season though if the speedster is relegated from the top flight with Huddersfield – Jan Siewert’s side currently sit rock bottom of the Premier League and will be requiring a miracle to evade the drop.
Charlton, meanwhile, must resurrect their form soon if they are to make the play-offs and someone will soon have to step up in Grant’s absence.
