Yes, you did read that right. Charlton Athletic won a cup game.
Clinical victory overcoming a potential banana skin at a time when the a depleted squad and manager were under growing pressure. We move on now to a difficult next round up at Huddersfield.
Look forward to hearing from those there tonight

Got slightly more confidence after the first goal.
Lots of mostly enjoyable songs.
We had an older crowd today which was fun, very little "Since I was young" and what not. A few moments in the second half had me laughing, especially the aftermath of "If Pritchard scores then we're on the pitch."
.@CAFCofficial have tonight been confirmed as #htafc's FA Cup Round Four opponent on Saturday; £10 adults & £5 concessions at the turnstiles
Good price point though.
Yyyyeeeeeeeesssss@its a miracle
Just a bit worried that for the best part of the first half we didn't have any ideas, shape and skill. Indeed after 'hoof' being ironically shouted for ten minutes, one led the first goal.
Enjoyed myself though, as my first away win since MK Dons 2010 I believe.
Does no one remember the four rules of FA Cup conspiracies from the Preview thread.
I know scottish football is on it's arse but surely Celtic aren't after a league 2 player!
Oxford were proper crap as i thought and we were comfortable
loads of old songs and some new ones sung but 'wheels of the bus' is a bit backward
the Wilson song was sung when he was near us and he laughed and gave a thumbs up
he's better than Gus , he's better than Guuuus , Diego Poyet hes better than Gus ....
nice Kermo free kick but it was all a stroll in the park
Alnwick tried a couple of cute passes under pressure and fucked em up but got away with it
Harriott showed some tricks but lacks the composure to do the simple things
85% 4th round exit .... 15% to the 5th round and beyond .................
Can't believe we got further than Man United in the Fa cup this season.
“Considering what we went through in the first game, I was very pleased with how we did in this one.
“Even though we had had a long trip to Middlesbrough last Saturday I thought the players put in a sterling effort.
“The goals came at the right time and I thought we were quite clinical tonight. I’m pleased with all aspects of our play and for our fans as well.”
“We do need some momentum and to instill some confidence in the side, and we’ll gain that tonight.
“Yann is our talisman in some respects and I was thinking of not playing him here. But he is so important to us.
“Simon Church, who is desperately chasing a goal, was very selfless for the second goal. He could have gone for goal but did the professional thing and squared it.”
“We’ve got another 10 days for transfers,” he said. “We definitely need some new players to help us stay in the Championship.
“The FA Cup’s much maligned, which is a disgrace really.
“We certainly treat the competition with respect and take it seriously, and I think the FA Cup could galvanise our season.”
