One moment of quality from Jackson ensured it was a lot more comfortable finish than it earlier suggested. Halifax competed very well. Whether we should have been more dominant against a team of part timers three leagues below us, who have won just 6 in 15, or that is simply what the FA Cup throws up, i don't know. But even though it wasn't impressive in the bulk and the scoreline flattered, a potential banana skin and further national ridicule is comfortably out the way.
As others picked up in the match thread, five changes but it was only really Evina who seemed to have impressed from that crop. Euell is picking up stick and not arguing in any way that he looked poor and a shadow of his former self, but there were equally others that simply didn't look at the races throughout the game. The quality down the left of Evina / Jackson stood out though.
Highlight for the game for me was seeing just how happy Bradley Pritchard was with his first goal. Real genuine emotion, and you could equally see how happy all his team mates were for him, Well done Bradders.

What a great day out for the club.
So many positives, especially Evina, JJ BP and maintaining the winning mentality.
Being Charlton, one always feels the wheels are about to come off, but somehow there is karmic justice that someone as nice as CP is being rewarded with a great season so far.
Halifax were strong for their level, score flattered us a little but well desreved.
Solly, Jackson and Evina particularly good. Pritchard as always in a cameo role looked good.
I bet Huddersfield would prefer a 4-0 away win to a 4-1 away defeat !
Thought we looked assured and midfield looked solid all game - Jackson & Hollands looked class and the full backs were excelent too !
just shows we have class all over the pitch - apart from up-front !! Euell is just not up to it & Hayes touch is poor.
Onwards and forwards.
A game we didn't really need put to bed , 4 nil flattered some didn't play too well,
4 really good goals a good enough team performance
Some need to remember that the reason scp is doing so well is that he is calm and astute
I didn't think we needed to change the team at 1 nil although we were under a lot of pressure
The game was used to get mins under the belt of a few and it worked
Hats off professional performance and clinical when needed
Some really do need us to lose some games so they can be happy
Me I have had enough doom wAtching this lot to last a life time and right now I am 100 percent glass half full
On the other hand we've just cup tied Jason Euell....
The doom mongering comment was aimed at some who couldn't even let the game start before being miserable and pessimistic
But if you feel posting a thread criticising someone who scp clearly feels brings something to the table when we are 5 clear in the league lost only 1 league game so far this. Season and has just beaten a team that would've nailed us to the tv mast last season and scored 4 to boot is the response of a fan that is fully supportive of the 1 aim philosophy then good on ya
I am all up for reasoned debate and I ain't to ignorant to even hold my hands up when I get things wrong
It seemed to me that there is an element looking for issues and criticism where it ain't needed
If your post was not one of those that was intended to just be doom and gloom then my its bollox comment wasn't warranted
Never worked before !
negative post because of negative play.
passing it along the back 4 then kicking up to forwards with no touch. No creativity, no sense of emergency, to slow and to often knocked of the ball. where was the midfield? they should take this opportunity against a lower side to show some of their skill, their invention in their play and passing.
how tayler gets motm by itv i dont know. it should of been that ginger player they took off. when he left they lost a pretty integral part of their midfield, and so gave us more space in the middle. Tayler however had a pretty average game apart from his goal. his defending was full of mistakes, he wasent closing players down, he was letting them turn and his passing was woeful. then again it wasent just him with the woeful passing.
The tactic of morrison being our playmaker (though i doubt it wast the tactic) is just ridiculous. just like in the carling cup and just like when we were against stevenage. how we manage to play so poorly when we all know we can play some of the best football we've seen for many a year. this could be just an off day, which i'm sure it is, but we cant just ignore it, you learn from mistakes. Great scoreline. good goals but mediocre overall team performanse. still at least we can beat teams even when we are not at our best. Thats my match report, not my season report not my what they did last week report. we won. just not in style.
