Lee Bowyer reveals why Aiden McGeady didn't feature at Stoke and gives his verdict on debutant.

Aiden McGeady didn't travel to the BET365 Stadium on Saturday due to illness, Lee Bowyer has confirmed. 

The midfielder who joined the Addicks on loan from Sunderland on Transfer Deadline Day has yet to play for the club, he was in the bench for victory over Barnsley but was not brought on. 

Speaking to London News Online Bowyer said “He was ill on Wednesday, Thursday. He trained yesterday but he wasn’t right. He was desperate to travel, that’s why he trained, but he just wasn’t right. It would be the wrong thing to do, to bring him up here as he was ill.”
David Davis joined the club on loan from Birmingham during the window and he made his first start in the defeat at Stoke and Bowyer was pleased with what he saw from the midfielder.

“I thought he did OK, I thought he won the ball when he got booked and they scored from the set-piece. His momentum took him into the player but that’s part of the game. So, I thought the foul was harsh on him and the yellow card.
“He’ll improve in the time he’s here. For me, at times he takes too long on the ball and gets caught but apart from that, I thought he worked hard and gave everything that he had. Looked a bit tired towards the end but I saw a lot of things that I liked.”
The Addicks head to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, both could be set to feature at the City Ground.

It didn't take long to get in front. Bernando Silva's cross found Sergio Aguero, who had too much space in the box and headed across goal for Phil Foden who headed in from close range after just five minutes.  That was Foden's first Premier League goal on his second ever Premier League start. City continued to create chances but failed to take them. Aguero thought he was in after being played through by Bernando Silva but he was flagged offside.  Paulo Ganzaniga came into the starting lineup as one of five Tottenham changes. He however, was looking fragile. He made a number of errors that only gave City confidence. Trying to chip the ball over a player five yards out was one of a number of things the keeper attempted that c...
