Hudds will be an interesting test on the back of their 3-0 win. Losing away at the leaders is not a problem. Beating Wigan was not a surprise, so we are about to discover whether beating Brentford was an anomaly or the corner being turned.
Odd selection in midfield and sounds like we were pretty shocking for the first 20 minutes.
But positives are that Diarra made a big difference, we held them and threatened in the 2nd half and all the other results went the right way from our point of view. Anything tonight would have been a bonus but the focus now switches to Saturday. Hudds won 3-0 tonight and their tails will be up. It should be a good game in front of a packed Valley and I'm so looking forward to that and to getting back on the winning trail.
Happy with that. 8 points above the drop line and our tough run of games are now over.
Hudds winning eases the pressure on them so will not be so hungry on Saturday. Hoping the big crowd will get behind the lads and a win could see us 11 clear come Saturday evening, if the Millers do their job, although personally hope that game ends in a draw.
hope to see a central paring of cousins and diarra on Saturday , and im sure a bumper crowd will give the players a needed boost! subbing watt and bulot must be to keep them fit/available for Saturday! come on you reds!
We lost but we played, so an improvement on a few weeks ago, pretty one sided first half but we put them under some pressure in the second, good performance against the best in the league. Well done charlton.
Expected to lose, shame we conceded twice so early on. Whatever Luzon did with the midfield would have been seen as odd or a mistake. We had similar defeats under Riga in games we didn't expect anything, we should pick up enough points elsewhere.
Always disappointing to lose, but can't say I expected us to get anything for this one and with all the teams down the bottom losing, no damage done gap-wise. Important not to get turned over heavily as this could have adversely affected confidence ahead of Saturday. Hopefully Cousins returns at the weekend and the team look to be positive and cause Huddersfield problems from the start. Certainly I'd take 3 points from these next 2 games, though I reserve the right to change that if we get a win on Saturday!

Maybe we were outclassed but they are top of the league and are the best team I have seen so far at The Valley -they are top for a reason, no real disgrace (or surprise) in losing tonight. Well done to those who made the trip. We have new players still getting to know one another's strengths and weakness, did we really expect to get much tonight? Truthfully, no. Two more wins and one or two draws should see us safe - specially as the dross below us keep losing, long may it continue. Keep the faith.
Had a little glimmer of hope tonight, just a glimmer. Not fussed about the defeat if we smash SCP on Saturday. Sorry Chris but I'm hoping we give you a right good tonking now. I'm actually pleased H'field won because I reckon our players will raise it more now and treat the game with a good intensity
Obviously not nice to lose but there are plenty of positives to take. Diarra and Eagles both looked good. I think 2-0 flattered the league leaders. Had we not rolled over so easily after conceding the first i think we could've got something.
Still, we looked like a midtable team. There is no way we are going to be relegated. Confident for Saturday COYR

2-0 flattered them! Seriously? They didn't need to get out of 1st gear in the second half

Not a bad night this was my compensation.

One word: outclassed.
this was always a loss for us and the maaasives done us proud
just got to beat SCP 's boys and midtable safety beckons , easier said than done
15% 7th-12th 80% 13th-21st 5% the unthinkable
Two more wins and one or two draws should see us safe - specially as the dross below us keep losing, long may it continue. Keep the faith.
Hopefully Cousins is fit for Saturday
Chris but I'm hoping we give you a right good tonking now. I'm actually pleased H'field won because I reckon our players will raise it more now and treat the game with a good intensity
and Solly maybe should have done better for the 2nd goal at least
Still, we looked like a midtable team. There is no way we are going to be relegated. Confident for Saturday COYR
