Matty Godden gave CharltonTV an honest reflection following Tuesday's disappointing 3-2 defeat at Bristol Rovers.

"[The result is] not good enough," the striker told CharltonTV. "Not the way the gaffer wants us to play - we haven’t been like that for probably three or four games now. It’s tough to put words on [how I’m feeling] at the moment, especially whilst my emotions are high.”

Godden was involved in both of the Addicks' goals, providing the assist for Alex Mitchell before neatly converting Chuks Aneke's cross.

“It’s one of those - obviously at the end of my career I’ll look back at the goals I scored, but not at this moment," he explained. "This club means too much to me to be that sort of person and hide behind the fact that I scored a goal.

“All I want to do is help the club achieve something. That’s what I set out to do, that’s why I came down from Coventry. I want to achieve something whilst I’m here, so when things don’t go our way it hurts. It’s about being more aggressive and horrible.

"We need to be horrible and we need a 1-0 win somewhere - a horrible 1-0 win that’s probably scrappy that we have to fight for because that’s what it was at the start of the season. It might not look the best, but we were really horrible to play against.

“We played some good stuff, but that good stuff comes when you’re horrible and then get the time to play the good stuff."
