5 homegrown players in team. Managers a fan. If we can put a few wins together, mid table finish and trip to wembley would equal a good season.......oh and three points at the den please
Great result and tbh not expected. Rode our luck but battled on and also played a bit of football at times. At this moment I still think we're up against it to avoid relegation with our young inexperienced team but wins breed confidence and there's obviously a great vibe amongst the squad at the moment. Whatever happens for the rest of this season I think the future is bright if we keep hold of our kids.
Well done Charlton and well done the travelling faithful.
It was really hard not to do the match thread tonight..but on a selfish note I wanted to watch it on a stream...and I have to say we deserved that win..first 25 mins of first half we played some great football and Owls were chasing shadows.... second half they were always going to push forward and put us under pressure and got their goal...but then we pushed back..played some good stuff again and got the winner.....Church run his legs off, Hamer was immense..... what a save at the end, Poyet a very assured performance and Fox..what a debut!! very proud tonight and very happy for Chris Powell..now if we can get a few loanees in, I would like to suggest we can beat Utd and also climb up the league....well done to all..BRILLIANT 3 days....Good night from a very happy Redmidland
When you think Poyet, Cousins, Fox barely 30 league games between them. Thought Morro, Wood, Wilson, Jacko and Poyet were immense. Should have scored a least one more first half. Church worked his nuts off but does has a sponge foot. Was there 'goal' over the lines? Who cares. Deffo a red on Harriott.
Well done all those able to get up there. After watching the live stream I'm off to lay down in a darkened room. COYR.
One of the rarest of times where every faction of Charlton's support is over the moon. Absolutely elated and what a performance from everyone tonight. Amazing.
People wondering how we've turned it around (and I'm convinced there's more to come)... Just take a look at that five man midfield - they can all play a bit and reduced Wednesday to lunging tackles and blocks. Fox played well but Wiggins back for Leicester please.
If I feel this good now, god only knows how I'll be should we beat United.
We've got a team that love playing together and will put in a huge shift for their team mates and the shirt. On top of that we've got a manager who loves the club as much as we do. As football fans, we can't as for anything else.
Absolutely brilliant! About 15 mins from the end my livestream suddenly popped up with two random adverts so I could only see 1/2 the screen - didn't try to fix it in case it jinxed our lead. Mrs KKB came in to find my face two inches from the tablet screen, trying to see past the ads. Walked out the room shaking her head.
So many fantastic performances, magnificent team effort - and especially from those that played the full 95 mins on Saturday. Pleased for Hamer, Church and Harriott - none of them have had a great season so far but they really came to the party tonight. Definitely have the squad (not to mention the spirit) to have a decent end to the season, and we'll need them with all the games stacking up.
And major kudos to all who made it to the game tonight - superb effort, and you sounded immense!
Loving the cup run but we HAVE to do it in the league as well, building on the QPR result. If we can just stay up this season, we could strengthen more in the summer and make a real go of it next year. If we can sign Poyet up, we might start looking a bit like Standard Liege with half the team home-grown or very young acquisitions, playing football on the nice new pitch and winning games. Wouldn't that be nice?!
Yes, this is why we should be delighted - Harriot, Poyet, Cousins, Fox - that is over a third of the team and they are proper youngsters just starting out in the game - we really have a stunning production line and if we can keep them we are only going to get better - when you think of some of the other talent we have waiting in the wings.

Can't wait for Leicester now fancy we'll get something there
I think all 4 ties are televised so it won't be 3pm saturday.
It'll either be 5.30 saturday, lunchtime sunday or monday night.
Massive (pun intended) result. Well done all.
Also a big shout out to our fantastic support up there. Could hear them getting behind the team throughout.......................

Fox played well but Wiggins back for Leicester please.

I don't know what to feel, is this what a cup run does to you?
