Holden to Speak to Bonne Over Town Social Media Likes - Ipswich Town News

Charlton boss Dean Holden says he will speak to striker Macauley Bonne after the former Blues loanee and lifelong Ipswich supporter liked a number of social media posts from Town fans in the wake of Saturday’s 6-0 defeat of the Addicks.

Bonne, who spent last season on loan at his hometown club having previously been a schoolboy with the Blues’ academy, started up front for Charlton, who he rejoined in January after leaving QPR, before being replaced in the 59th minute.

The 27-year-old liked two posts by Town fans, including one below from well-known Blues vlogger Alex Griffin, after the game, angering supporters of his current club.

Quizzed on the controversy, Holden told the South London Press: "I’ve just been made aware of it — because there is nothing to be gained from me going on social media as a manager when you have just been thumped 6-0, so I stayed well away from it all weekend.

"I’ve just made been aware of that and obviously I’ll speak to Macauley on that. That’s not something the fans want to see, clearly, after such a disappointing result. I’ll speak to him and address that.”
