  • Edwards has been superb too. All the defence looks assured tbf. 
  • Anyone warming up for those there? - No signs of any HT subs I presume?
  • Defence class.
    midfield awful (besides Carey) 
    new boys doing well. 
    Kelman needs more to work with 
    TC promising but lacks in key moments 
    This sums it up for me.

    Not sure I understand the TC criticism here, think he's caused them problems. Doc, on the other hand, doesn't look sharp and has made several very poor mistakes. Loving Apter's delivery and link up play with Carey
    He terrifies them but his end product has been very bad. 
  • Very impressed with Bell
  • Pretty reasonable performance from the Lovely Red Boys…….can’t complain.👏
  • TC & Apter look our most creative players - they wont get everything right but they provide the spark
     
  • We’re a second half team . 😁
  • Nice to think that if Watford think they've been pressed today, just wait until Anderson and Knibbs come on. Chances will appear late on with those two pressing high

  • I know we had the minutes applause, but we're still the last game to KO from the early games in the Championship - Never change Charlton!!
  • All the new signings are looking good.

    The link up between Apter and Carey was very much in evidence. I like the look of both of them.

    Kelman has been quiet up front but has been working hard.

    Bell looks assured. 

    Quite encouraging so far.
  • Who’s the guy in the suit for Watford 
  • Kinda wouldn't mind us moving the ball over to the right hand side on a break. TC has been our major outlet but often makes the wrong decision. Be good to see what can be made from the other wing.

    I will keep saying it over and over until he wins POTY. He is our best player.

    I thought he was their Manager, but think that's the guy in the white t-shirt
  • The TC cross wasn't bad in my opinion. He was stretching and had to put a dangerous ball in before it went out of play.

    It didn't work 
  • Here we go second half and no changes...yet
  • Apter willing to cross on both feet, very encouraging
  • That cross from Watford was quality.

  • Good early cross from Apter, almost finds Kelman - Good positive start, shame the initial build up just stuttered
  • Erk, dangerous cross into our 6 yard box
  • Christ... thats the sort of ball thats just begging for a touch to make it 0-1
  • Docherty...hmm...
  • incredibly unsubtle shirt pull from Doc, concedes a free kick just outside the D and earns a booking
  • Silly free kick to give away
  • Dangerous Free Kick to Watford on the edge of the D
  • Again, I know it's 45 minutes into the new season but Docherty is looking extremely out of it, TC is at least causing some issues but Doc is offering absolutely nothing

    He put it exactly where he should have. I actually think Kelman went too early with his run, I reckon Godden would have read it better and held his run to create space for himself and ended up with a tap-in
  • Wont be surprised to see Costello on for Docherty at some stage
