Hartlepool 0-2 Charlton

I enjoyed that, first win we've seen since Preston a couple of years ago.
Nice little ground with an excellent pitch but a strong crosswind.
I was very impressed with the way Charlton defended and then brought the ball out of defence but they got a bit lost having crossed the half way line. The first goal was initially down to Shelvey chasing a lost cause down the left and forcing the defender to put the ball out, from the throw in the ball somehow got to the middle Burton kicked it into the ground (I think) and it bounced over the goalie. The second was a combination of Racon & Sam on the left with Bailey coming in unmarked and putting the ball in the net.
2nd half we had a couple of clear cut chances, Elliott mad a couple of good saves but we tired in the last 20 mins and went deeper and deeper, however Pool weren't good enough to take their chances.

In summary a very good team effort, it is the frst time for a long while I have seen them play as a team, only one player I would criticise and that is Youga -a defensive liability!

    Not exactly news; when he's good, he's very good, but when he's bad, oh my God, I've seen some shocking performances from Youga.
