Peacock happy with Addicks effort

Charlton caretaker boss Keith Peacock was happy with his team's efforts in their 3-0 FA Cup defeat at Tottenham but admits second-half substitute Luka Modric made a big difference on the outcome of the game. The Addicks, who sacked manager Phil Parkinson in the week, managed to get to half-time unscathed, but second-half goals from Andros Townsend and Jermain Defoe (2) sent the Premier League club through. "I'm proud of the way the players performed," Peacock said. "As soon as I saw who was coming on the pitch at half-time, I thought we would have a problem. "You love watching him on the ball, but not when you are playing against him. "The little pieces I've seen of him, and what I saw in this game, he is right up there with the best."
