Yep Wednesday's only tactic was to hoof it. Taylor and Morro said ta very much. And the bookings tally will tell you which was the dirty side out there.
If we were time wasting then we were sh#te at it. Twice in added time we had the chance to run the ball into the channels to wind down the clock. Both times we tried to create the second goal and gave it back to them. Should have scored the 2nd anyway right at the death.
Great spirit from this team and it wasHamer who led the love-in at the end with Jacko.
Couldn't understand CP's team selection and subs bench at the start. As well as Pritchard played at Fulham, I thought he'd go for the strength and experience of Hughes in midfield. Having spoken about the need for pace during the week, I was sure he'd put Waggy and Haynes on the bench. I didn't make sense to me, but now it does. CP wants his players that have played well to keep their confidence and prove their character, which they did brilliantly today. To bounce back from a 4 0 defeat with a clean sheet in such a huge game told us all we need to know about this team. CP is becoming a great manager and I will not doubt him again!
Clarke was ok. Looked strong and promising, just a touch rusty. Unselfish pass to Russell at the end when through. Reckon he'll be an astute signing. Useful understudy to yann.
Came over on train from Liverpool ended up sitting with a fellow lifer!our lot were truly brilliant today!
Hamer will get plaudits for clean sheet but by god are our back 4 immense!solly was simply brilliant again and limited Ben Marshall and as far as I'm concerned that was job done!hoof ball for 90 minutes,they are seriously useless and megson had no plan b whatsoever!
Enough on them, no man of the match for me as not one player had a bad game!was really impressed with Pritchard!semedo should have been sent off,as to cry baby Madine for his elbow on wiggins who was again brilliant!BWP worked his socks off again and yann won every single header even against donkey punt the ball long kong rob jones!danny green and Johnnie jackson provide both width and balance!russell gets knocked but he battled brilliantly when he came on!
Stephens back on the bench too and according to my sources fit and raring to go!
These players really really want it and you could see their appreciation for our lot so whatever you read about our support on owls talk don't listen to it!they are an extremely arrogant bunch and I can understand why they are so deluded when they have to endure them tactics week in week out!
One more game that we can lose and wednesday have to win!but that's not Going to happen anyway!onwards and upwards COYR!bring on next Saturday!
First up, congratulations on the win, and I would say you are the best team at Hillsborough this year by some distance.
Quality free kick, though I was screeming at Weaver to get a step to his left before it was struck, knew exactly what was going to happen, seem to remember Jackson scoring an identical one on Tv Halifax in cup or may be Yeovil away?
Not sour grapes but thought the ref was poor, would like to see the second half handball penalty appeal again.If that had been given the pressure would have gone up several notches.
Number of overall observations.
Solly is quality defender, thought Marshall was off the pace today, far too much going on in his head with the contract to be on top form.
Your points on this board all season re semedo were highlighted for all to see today.Most owls wont agree I know but because he is head anfd shoulders above anything else we have had as a defensive midfielder for a long time.However he is not fluid enough and isnt able to create enough to be top class.
Morrison , sorry I still can have, two airshots today , luck to get away with both, and a different ref would have slaugther his constant barging into the back of strikers.
Liked the little black lad in centre midfield, (sorry dont know his name and not racist).BWP looked well out of sorts, can see why CP is adding two strikers)
A great result for you yes, but please dont start given large about morals of quality football , your time wasting from 1 st minute was shocking.Add to that the constant ear bashing at the ref, left me thinking, thats not what a top class side would do.
Would hope that most Addicks who went to the game would agree that we have improved a huge amount since our visit to the Valley.
I would also welcome constructive comments on us.
Good luck for the rest of the season, and please beat those Chavs from across the City next week , Otherwise today aint achieved all that.

Wouldn't talk about time wasting after you lot time wasting at The Valley a few months back. Your team gave us the most boring match I've been to. I dislike Wednesday for their arrogance, boring football and by the sounds of it horrible staff. Hope we win the league, Sheff Utd and Hudds to join us and see you lot struggle next season in League One where you lot belong. Good day.
Seems like that is the closest to rational owl we're gonna get. Half on the ball, half completely delusional. Fine by me, we'll keep morrison and you can keep llera. We completely outplayed you today, bwp caused you constant problems and your strikers were just as much holding our defenders as our lads were barging you.

have you watched Man U recently? Or Chelsea or Arsenal or any top side control the pace of a game?
Phew! Had to go out at half time and managed to get back onto the match thread without finding out the result - huge thanks to RM, Paddy et al as it had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Could do without to many heart attack inducing matches like that between now and May.
Massive respect to everyone that made the trip and by all accounts gave the boys terrific support and really feel for those on the train. Definitely a case for a swearing amnesty on that subject!
Once again, the lads showed real class and not a little bit of steel to back it up by accounts. A long way to go of course but a night to be proud to be an Addick.

Loved the Llera song!

He ain't got a clue,
He ain't got a cluuuuue
Migel Llera he ain't got a clue
The end with all the players and staff was awesome!
Even Doyley is happy!
MASSIVE

Well done Johnnie Jackson!
I wanted to maintain or improve the 7 point gap between us and third place.
So far so good.

Unlucky lad, but cheers.
can't wait for our 10 seconds on the football league show.
Well done to those guys that got stuck on the train and didn't make it till HT.
I bet it was worth it - just for the post match celebrations.
Weds were filthy, with Pritchard and Hollands getting a right bruising.
MOM Solly - spectatular.
