Accy are working on their positive goal difference tonight. 3 for Charles, 2 for Bishop and still about 25 minutes to go.
They got about 4 games in hand as well! Impressive stuff. They've done well to get their act together off the pitch and on
Dion Charles is an excellent striker, strong, fast, good finisher and a massive handful for defenders. We let him go to Fylde at 19. Bad mistake. I think that puts him joint top League 1 scorer with Luke Jephcott.
After rising through the youth ranks at Blackpool, Charles was named on the bench to face Barnsley during the 2013–14 campaign, remaining unused in the 1–0 victory at Bloomfield Road. Preceding his release from Blackpool, Charles joined Conference North side AFC Fylde on a one-year deal.
So was it Riga who let him go? Strange considering that at the time we had no players!!

My lad played with him for a while (probably 6 years ago) and when I watched him I was very impressed by his speed and dribbling ability. He was the most exciting player but very self-centred.
What probably held him back (at BFC and Fylde) was his attitude; even his own team mates didn`t like him at that time.
Good to see he`s matured, and is making a career out of football...
