Approx 20 passes and a great finish.
I am 50 years old and have been coming since I was 7. Granted I haven't seen every game in that period but I cannot remember a classier goal. The Golden Goal that Killer scored against Hull was a peach but for sheer passing and moving involving so many players, that has to be the best I have ever seen from a teamwork perspective.

I could watch them over and over...if I'd remembered to Sky+ the game.
There are a couple of blokes in front of me, who are, shall we say, quite mature of age and they were shaking their heads in amazed disbelief, it was that good. One turned to me and said that he' d never seen a better goal for Charlton and I had to agree.
in cmetary Scott Minto was saying charlton have got to stop trying
to play like brentford and get the ball on the deck and pass it within
a minute we'd scored
Says it all.
All I know is this.
I watched us pass from the back through midfield where the movement off the ball was terrific. We worked as a complete unit, something I've rarely seen at the valley. Every time a player got the ball he looked up, found a player and passed, all the time looking to get it forward. The passing was just superb.
The touch Sam took to set himself up for the goal was so skilful, so accomplished, and the finish! He could have so easily bottled it but no, he hammered it into the net.
There were some great wonder goals last season, terrific individual efforts but todays goal was something else, a real team effort, an absolute pleasure to see.
You can see we're playing with a lot of confidence now, the belief is there that we can play good football and win games. Bailey was taking players on, for a player that isn't a winger, and right footed playing on the left, that shows how confident he is at the moment. Sam has just scored three times in two games, he looks like he's a goal threat from midfield along with Bailey and Shelvey. I know it's a lower division, but he wouldn't have done that last season.
We obviously have talented players for this league, but Parkinson is getting the best out of them, something Pardew failed to get out of a single player in nearly 2 years. Who would have believed we'd win the first 6 games, or Sam & Burton's goal and assists records?
Long way to go, but another match in which we look organised, play like a team, have plenty of confidence and we're playing good football. We have several players capable of scoring or setting up a goal, making us unpredictable. There's not one player that can be marked out the game that stops us from playing. All things missing for the last few years. Many would have been happy to see us go back to just working hard and being hard to beat, but the football we're playing makes it even better. That goal showed just how good our football can be.
" 2-0. Lloyd Sam. Half decent goal"
:-)
Hear, hear.
My first game today this season - last 2 home games I was at the respective Test Matches with my youngest. My eldest however has settled very nicely in the North Upper.and has been all season -Nutter.
it was beautiful.
Watched it about a dozen times now what a great piece of football and a great turn with an exquisite finish
Agreed, I've been going for 40 years and I too can't remember a better goal.
agreed havent seen a better charlton goal, been going for around 12 years aswell
your joking ... he did a peter reid ???
cant wait to see it agsin....
If this was Arsenal all the pundits would be saying goal of the day.
On reflection having seen it on sky+.....As a team goal this was the best I can remember, The Bartlett goal was a great strike, and Mendonca's two hat tricks will always be special to me ( final and Southampton).
Helped take some of the 'gloom' away from supporting Charlton for the past few years, well done team.
*Off on holibobs now bask*
