HE might be Wanderers’ Mr Angry on the pitch but Medo Kamara wants to make sure it’s all smiles at the Reebok tonight.

The tough-tackling, hard-hitting Sierra Leone international took little solace from the fact that he opened his goal account in English football against Charlton on Saturday.

Defeat was a bitter pill to swallow for the Whites midfielder, who has become something of a cult figure in the stands since his arrival from FK Partizan.

Medo described the two red cards issued by referee Trevor Kettle at The Valley as “terrible” – but accepts that Wanderers also played a part in their own downfall against the South Londoners.

“We had started so well but let them back in with a goal,” he said. “We shouldn’t have done that.

“No decisions were going our way but we were still in the game.”

Though his nickname “Medo” translates in Serbian to “teddy bear” – the 25-year-old has proved anything but a soft touch in the Wanderers’ engine room in the few chances he has been afforded since arriving at the club.

And the fans certainly seem to have warmed to his stubborn, combative style – something the player himself is keen to continue.

“I was delighted to see them all cheering behind the goal at Charlton and that’s what we need with seven games to go,” he said. “They like me – and I’m happy about that. It’s what every player wants.

“I’m just looking for a good finish to the season and we need them.”

Medo’s neat finish to beat Ben Hamer at his near post was his first goal since leaving Finland in 2010 as the top division’s player of the year.

He had been a fairly regular goalscorer during his time at KuPS, in Kuopio, and HJK, in the capital Helsinki, netting 20 times in five seasons.

He failed to hit the net in three seasons in Belgrade after his move to Partizan but having now whet his appetite, the midfielder would like to get among the goals at his new club.

“It wasn’t too bad was it?” he said of his Charlton strike. “Before, when I was playing in Helsinki, I used to score a lot of goals like that from outside the penalty box.

“As soon as I saw the space I knew I was going to shoot.

“I knew it was going in and where I was going to put it. I can score like that.

“It was my first goal for the club, so it was special, but at the end of the day I’m disappointed because of the result.”
