Wilson, two well taken goals and a great free kick from Yann. Seem to get the run of the green, which we haven't been of late. Sat back at the end and invited them on to us. Would like to see their second, not sure how the scorer wasn't offside.
Not sure about the Wilson song, think it's out of order.
Great game, would have been more comfortable if we had tackled a bit higher up the pitch, inviting them on and putting ourselves under pressure, after we scored confidence was obvious in the team and we played some really good stuff. Sat in a massive queue to get out of the car park, glad I am not a Brighton fan. Oh I thought it was a straight red elbow oon Yann from my seat in the East Terrace, I know he tends to play up to his tackles (and he does take some vicious ones) but it looked obvious to me, would also like to see the penalty shout again. Nice little run now so we can move clear and concentrate on the cup!

Great win. As someone else said it didn't even seem like we played much better than we have in the last few games, we just had a bit of luck and finished really well. Did anyone have a decent view of the Evina 'penalty'? Seemed pretty clear to me.
Very poor first half from the lads... I sometimes try to look on the match as a neutral rather than as a Charlton fan and felt that our first goal was completely against the run of play, though saying that Football isnt all about pretty passing and Brighton should have defended it better.
Second Half and I felt Powell must really have got into his players (thats why he should still be our manager for the haters)... The players worked together closing down the opposition resulting in them having no time to pass the ball and allowed us to counter attack.
Completely the opposite for Wilson's second and Yann's goals - They were both really deserved, special recognition for Wilson today as he works extremely well having Solly behind him
After the bad luck we had against Reading / Yeovil / Derby I certainly felt our luck was with us today when they hit the bar and hit two shots just wide, not sure why the players were complaining about the Brighton second goal though (Offside?)
Referee also did well today, only a handful of questionable decisions, Church when he was thrown off the ball right in front of Powell (Is he becoming a bit of a diver?) and the Evina penalty appeal (Again should have been a yellow card if not a pen, although where did his pace come from? Didnt realise he was so quick)
Anyway onwards to Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday... I feel though its still a must win match as defeat will drag us straight back into the fight whilst anything else will really give us a bit of breathing space

I think with his second goal he took it well in jest which of course it should be
Felt as well its more to do with being released as a Youngster and not being ready (which he'll be first to admit) than being rubbish with Charlton when he re-joined us
Didn't realise it was an early kick off so woke up at just before 8 as usual only to find I'd missed it. Pleasantly surprised to see we'd won though. Hopefully that breeds some confidence before a really important couple of games.
I assume Brighton set up to win? We often do better against teams that attack us and leave us some space, lets hope the confidence gained allows us to play with some more freedom and fluency vs Wednesday.

What song is it? What are the words?
There's only one Laurie Wilson, one Laurie Wilson Used to be shite But now he's alright Walking in a Wilson Wonderland

To the tune of winter wonderland 'he used to be shite but now he's alright'
You got Kermogant who's just come back from injury yet won every header and throws his bollocks on the line everytime the ball comes near him. Class free kick.
You got Wilson who receives plenty of stick, from myself included and yet took both his chances really well. The song is out of order and it does have to do with him being shite when he joined us. Didn't sit to well with me that song.
You got Solly who also has just come back from injury and puts in a class performance like that.
All 11 players really put in a shift against a tidy Brighton side (the no 26 was quality). Special mention to Stephens who looked a class above at times.

Proves Santa is a Charlton fan - FACT
What a great result. Chuffed for all those involved and those there.
Another three points on Sunday would be fantastic.
Happy Boxing Day all.

That 5 point gap looks pretty nice (before the rest of the games), being above Millwall makes it even sweeter.

Wasn't a penalty. Surprised he didn't get booked for diving.

Yann getting fit and in form in the nick of time.
Used to be shite
But now he's alright

Very enjoyable, Wilson song cracked me up.
Great finishes by Wilson and Kerm.
Ref was a bottle job.

Great afternoons entertainment.
Well done Charlton.
