Brilliant win, not fazed who we get in play offs, more than capable of beating anyone, other than the last 15 minutes I thought home crowd was very poor considering the importance of the game, I was in covered end & couldn’t hear much at all from us

Cullen deserves half of that MOM award with Aribo. Incredible midfield duo performance.
Hopefully that goal will revive some of Taylor’s confidence and he can push on with a few more to guarantee play offs. I think a few more games with Igor will bond that partnership together ready for the play off games if we make it (looking good after today’s results).
Sublime night at the Valley. Just like the good old days. Players scrapping for every challenge, good passing and movement and a noisy atmosphere. Just bloody marvellous all round.
We don't shoot enough, agree that LB nearly messed it up by changing the shape for last 10 minutes and not sure about Igor- but let's just enjoy a great win.

Dominated that game between the 5th and 85th minute. Thought we would miss Bielik in the second half but Reeves was just as good. Fair play to the Pompey fans for the constant noise. Aribo was on fire, Cullen first to everything and in general the whole team were up for it. Cracking game for the Sky cameras too. Play like that every week and we will be going straight up.
Only able to get to the stream late on, so I only saw live the final 15 mins, but even then there was a solidity and commitment that made me confident we'd see it out. Terrific work by Lyle in the final minutes. Aribo looked class every time he touched the ball. When Vetokele went off, the commentator praised his "very impressive contribution", although gotta admit the only one I saw was him giving the ball away before Pompey had their best chance to level. Just makes me sick to see after the game Sky showing a table with all our players out of contract at season end.
Midfield bossed it today. Aribo and Cullen were outstanding and won us the game in my opinion. If them two can perform like that every week then we can beat any team in this division. Reeves demonstrating his class and composure too with the assist for Taylor’s goal.
Forgetting the sloppy marking for their goal, that was the most complete performance I’ve seen at The Valley for a good few seasons.
Pompey started better than us and we let them back in the game at the end as we started backing off. I felt we struggled to retain possession at the end and we should have closed the game out more comfortably.
We played very well in places but I don't think we were as good as a lot of people on here are making out.
Portsmouth are a decent side - they may lack our flair but they're well organised and good on set pieces.
Aribo and Cullen both had good games and Bielik was outstanding in the first half. Reeves looked good when he came on.
Credit to Taylor for his defensive work at the end - a real fighter.

I WILL SAY THIS ONLY ONCE, AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE. THE NORTH STAND WERE VERY LOUD TODAY. BOTH JOHNNIE WILLIAMS AND BEN REEVES CONFIRMS THIS TO ME AFTER THE GAME. SORT YOUR EARS OUT.
Fantastic fantastic performance today played them off the park.
sadly let down by the club, in a box and surrounded by Pompey supporters, high on drugs and alcohol nothing done until it started to get nasty.
Simply cannot believe how our useless sales team allow two boxes either side of us to be sold to Pompey scum and then so called security leave then there until it got nasty.
12 year old frightened and nobody at the club gives a toss.
we employ arseholes at our club, somebody's head needs to roll.
Watched in a pub in Torquay where Man City v Watford was also playing. Obviously only Addick there and it was obvious by my antics. Several lads in there said to me they were impressed with our football. I was too. Great win.
My first game of the season (believe in a total Roland boycot ) in north upper - loved it - great noise from the boys !! Be proud we have a fantastic club - can’t wait for the day he goes - our ground will be full again.
We won, so why am I still feeling slightly frustrated? I think we showed a team like Portsmouth, who are a more than decent League One outfit, are not fit, ability wise, to lace our boots. We were so much better than them it was embarrassing, but we only won 2-1 and they could have equalised at the end!
We have to find a way to let our superiority show in the scores as well as on the pitch. It has to be possible with the quality we have.

The fact that we beat Pompey, who are more than a decent league one outfit and who could have equalised says how good we really are
Barnsley have to play Sunderland and Doncaster in their next two.
A mini meltdown too much to ask for?
Well if they lose to Sunderland it does us no favours as Sunderland are already 6 points ahead of us and have a game in hand. And i'd prefer Doncaster to lose. We're not going to catch the top 2.
Thankfully for us, Doncaster are blowing up at a crucial time. 2 points from 4 games now and their next 3 are Blackpool away, Barnsley home, Luton away.
I've had a thought. As good as that ref was, part of it was because that was actually a very honest game of football. Relatively little shit-housery from either side, hardly any time wasting, no instances of players rolling around or trying to get each other booked. Burgess tried briefly to be an arse but the ref shut him down and other than that it was just pure football from both sets of players. Nice to see
Fantastic game to watch. Belick was outstanding until he had to go off. I really hope he is OK but it looked muscular so doubt he will be fit for Tuesday at least.
Cullen moved into his position and wow did he perform. Superb.
Aribo. A great pity he was playing; so many Premiership clubs will have been watching. Top class performance and great goal. MOM.
Thought they were well organised, predictable, and do what they do well. Physical, good wing play, and get good quality balls across as regularly as possible. They had a good first 6 minutes and a good last 10 + 5 mins extra time.
However, other than that we outplayed them with an almost a master class of pass and move, individual skill, and such a lot of determination.
Thank you Bows, JJ, and most of all the players. Fantastic effort and commitment. I really really appreciated it.

No idea how many of these were paid/freebees
No idea how many actually in the ground

100% effort, Taylor in the last 5 minutes was out on his feet yet found that last drop of juice, a midfield pulling the strings and a solid defence.
Best Charlton performance for years.
Charlton fans all singing on the way out, like an away day victory.
Absolutely brilliant, Bowyer is a wonderful motivator and my love for Charlton will never diminish.
We will make the play offs, we have beaten Pompey twice, so no reason we can't again & then we just need to beat Sunderland at Wembley.

I'll take not seeing those matches for the 3 points won each time though.
