I couldn't make it today and listening to the first half on BBC London it sounded as if we had plenty of procession but no end product. But credit where credit's due and they turned it around in the second half. Well done Charlton. Well done Chris Powell
Listened to the first half and had to go play a match, came back and saw we won 3-1. Couldn't believe it, dunno what was more surprising us winning or Semedo scoring.
First half I thought was pretty even with neither of the two goalkeepers really troubled. Even at 0 - 1 I felt there was something to be had from the game. Very decent second half and a willingness to attack. Paid off handsomely and I think the goalkeeping blunder of the century was the turning point in our seasons luck stakes because we ain't had too much of it. The look on BWP s face as the ball hit him on the chest was an absolute picture. My mom was today Dailly. Time after time he powered out of defence. No long ball stuff from Christian. Well done all round.
Well done Charlton and Chris Powell. We played some decent football today, was impressed with Parratt and the front two looked threatening in the second half. What was the Orient keeper doing for the second goal? But then again who cares.Nice to walk away from the Valley having won, made the journey home pleasant.
Really good performance, first half was even, second half we came out the better and look more threatening. Benson worked hard second half. We played like a TEAM second half. Good Cameo from Stewart too.
The sun was out, met lots of lifers iin the Lib, saw the draw for the dinner, went on the pitch at half time to present a Bromley Addicks to Steve Avory, met Richard Rufus and some bloke called Varney and then there was the game.
We won, came froom behind, disallowed goal, hitting the bar, keeper blooper of the decade, indirect free kick in box and to cap in all Jose scored.
Lots of effort, a bit of skill and a slice of good luck but just a nice feeling to win.
Personally thought we were poor first half. Orient looked nervy and were there for the taking. Other than the opening 10 mins of the first half we were shocking. Same old rubbish, passing going nowhere, static forwards and schoolboy defending for the goal. Got shouted down when I tried to explain to those sitting around me that Parrett had clearly played McCarthorse onside.
Interesting that Dailly seemed in a real hurry to get the players to the dressing room at HT. Perhaps a reaction to the booing?.
Much improved second half, although I wonder what the score would have been had their 2nd "goal" stood. What was it ruled out for?
Like the look of Stewart. Appears to be a real leader. Didn't stop talking and cajoling from the second he came on. Also a peach of a cross for Jose's goal. Potential captain there.
To be fair to him their keeper made a couple of great saves before his blunder What a relief - conceded yet another soft goal early on and service to front 2 was poor Mich improved 2nd half though - Parrett looked good as did BWP and Benno
1st half was quite even, not sure if their goal was offside but it looked it but I might be wrong.
We were evidently trying to play it on the floor and as a result the game was alot better. 1st half we didn't close them down, 2nd half we got amongst them and they didn't know what to do.
Their keeper passing to BWP was one of the funniest things I've seen at a game.
Good to see Semedo score and he seemed to be quite emotional, nice to see hopefully he'll score a few more now!
Very pleased with the result and the performance as well by the sound of it. I did feel positive after the Rochdale game (even though we lost). Seems to have continued today. Perhaps we're turning it around?

I have been a critic of both Manager and players but was impressed by how we came back from being 1-0 down. The second half we created quite a few chances but we had a bit of good fortune that we had been missing.
First half wasn't good, not sure why their second was chalked off, I think it gave us a lift just like the Colchester game. You have to feel sorry for their keeper, he pulled off two out this world saves, thens throws the ball to BWP.
So THAT'S what it's like to enjoy a football game.
I thought we were OK first half against an in-form side, but we didn't threaten much and when their goal went in it felt like here we go again. Second half was on another level. I thought Parret looked very good and the front two - particularly Benson - were fantastic. Time for a drink I think......

This comment was nearer to the truth.
But still a deserved win in the end and what the heck a long time coming so lets enjoy it.
Terrible first half devoid of anything good, time wasting and go no where passing. Then we play the best we have for 25 minutes, the first time they got any where near our goal second hald was on 71 minutes! We looked dangerous every time we went forward, both Parrett and Stewart look very decent and I am very pleased for Benson and Semedo
It is a great feeling to win a game with Chrissy P in charge and Semedo scoring...two of my favourite players of recent years and maybe it will shut some of the plebs up who have been moaning about them for a few days. Get in there lads...well done. Great game
I thought we were the much better team in the second half, well deserved win.
When BWP had the ball chucked at him and he got it onto the floor, I just knew he was going to slot it away, very clinical finish. I thought him and benson looked good uptop today, they linked up well.

Sounded great on the radio though

And tell the lucky lady that she's guaranteed a STEAK MEAL!
