Season manager marks - Peeters 4/10; Luzon 8/10 + improving. We got the result tonight primarily because of Guy. Team selection very good with an injury list that's grown. I think he was right to start with Harriott but made decisive move to double sub. Wilson just faced a nightmare scenario. Guy is getting the majority to improve and playing them in the right positions. Well done the crouching tiger!
Wilson 5 kept coming way too narrow, left Antonio room to run and was punished for it,wasn't a 4 because of the assist Harriott 3 feigned injury to come off after falling over himself, has had enough chances impact and squandered every one of them
Lepoint n/a came on late but was a decent outlet up front, was nearly in for a goal late on and I think he's been unfairly written off by many (as always)
Irony there writing off a young player who has shown some real class and I admit some real inability to recreate regular form
Guy Luzon well played Sir. All those twats that sung 'don't know what you're doing.....hang your head in shame.
Few points on tonight. Fox has emerged as a quality player, last few games and has been solid.
Bulot, who came back from the African Cup?. A fit confident player. Has been instrumental last few games.
Cousins MOTM. Second half display was up there with the best he has played all season or in a Charlton shirt. Power and stamina like no other.
Tony Watt Watt Watt, was dead on his feet after holding the ball up at the corner flag. Was injured and down and out. Ref said roll off, Tony Watt Watt Watt rang out and he got up received the ball and rolled two defenders. Pure pure class.
Gomez walked over to the right wing second half and put Antonio in his pocket.
Lepoint, great cross for the Watt header.
Freedman, no other word to describe him as an utter C***. Under his instructions they did not give the ball back after an injury and then to get in Luzon's face when we were at the corner flag. You got what you deserved tonight. Palace Scum.
What a difference a few weeks make. That is why I have had a season ticket for over 25yrs and why I always will.

SIt in the north-west and to see Tony Watt clearly enjoying our support and his play was superb it is nice to have a showman on board when was our last of those?
It had 2-2 written all over it ! But the new Charlton didn't let that happen. Everybody put in a shift, Wilson looked so uncomfortable doing a Solly type run from fullback, but his delivery led to the goal ! Luzon, had the balls to make the half time double sub, and that in my opinion gave us the 3 points, so credit for that.
What can you say about Watt, another great performance, and Vetokelle and him are looking a real exciting partnership.

We've had showmen before (Jerome Thomas / Lloyd Sam etc...) but they werent as effective as Tony Watt has been, when he gets the ball it just sticks to him
Antonio forest were bang average. A 17 year old kept him quiet second half and they didn't have a threat. On the other hand we look very dangerous on the counter and punish teams. Defensively were very good, impressed with diarra
Thought Gomez showed real quality when both at CB but especially at RB to handle Antonio as well as he did was very impressive, Jordan Cousins is a class above in the middle, and It's so nice to see how much Tony Watt loves being here, could not wipe the smile of his face at the end. Pleasing performance and a great result, very happy!
First things first what great subs by Guy at half time. We made them look a lot worse in the second half than they did in the first.
Our home form is absolutely outstanding - Played 3, Won 3, Scored 8, Concded 1. There is not a single team in this league that would want to play us at The Valley at the moment. Credit must go to Luzon.
The improved results with Handerson between the sticks continue - 4 wins out of 5 now. He makes a huge difference and was a good choice as captain, he encouraged the patched up back four and they came through largely unscathed. Well done Stephen, top goalkeeper.
Unfortunately it wasn't good from Wilson tonight. I want the Wilson from last season back :-(. That said, a good overlap for the second goal, he got into a great position. Defensively though, Antonio was just a bit too good for him today.
Gomez is going to be a serious serious player when he's older. 17 years old? I'm sorry but that is quite frankly ridiculous! He is so calm and confident when under pressure that it is frightening! He dealt with Antonio well in the second half when moved to RB. Something to work on would be his ball out from defense but overall a good performance.
Diarra filled in at centre back very nicely. Well done to him tonight. He's very good in the air, a few hairy moments with the ball at his feet but other than that a good, if not amazing, performance. Well done.
Fox - wow. What an improvement. Brilliant tonight. I remember him selling himself to let Burke past only once in the whole game. Very good Foxy, keep it going!
Bulot is turning into some player now! 4 goals in the last 5 games, fantastic! That was a very impressive touch and finish for the second goal. It took a deflection very close in front of him but he reacted to it very well. Inch perfect free-kick swell! He also did his fair share of defensive work, especially in the second half, doubling up on Antonio well with Gomez. Great performance!
Jordan Cousins is an absolute hero. Tonight was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Work rate, great in the air, broke up play well, good range of passing tonight and took players on well. Unbelieveable. Jordan Cousins - he's one of our own!
Buyens has been so much better in the last two games! To see him running around the pitch so purposefully unlike recent weeks is fantastic. He moves well with the ball at his feet to evade a man and then lay off the pass. I've criticised him a lot, but I'm not blinkered enough to not praise a good performance - that's two in a row now!
Harriott - hmm. Out of position so it's difficult for hjm and something's nearly came off for him. At the end of the day it just didn't happen for him tonight, typified by what happened when he tripped himself up at the end of the first half.
Eagles came on and did better than Harriott and caused Forest some real problems. I'm excited by this signing!
Vetokele didn't really get much of a sniff. Their number 22 kept tabs on him for most of the game. When he got the ball sometimes his touch let him down which was unfortunate. Some neat work down the left hand side involving himself, Eagles and Watt though, although the final ball meant that none of the three really had a great chance to speak of.
Watt started the game where he left off against Huddersfield. Beating players left, right and centre and he drew the foul, in a great position, that allowed Bulot to score the free-kick! He kept the Forest defines alert all game and they were petrified when he ran at them. They weren't quite at Huddersfield levels of "rabbits in headlights" mind! It was absolutely incredible what he was doing to close the game out at the end by the corner flag. His close control is a complete and utter unnatural joke! He made Antonio seriously lose his rag there!
Bikey was also much improved from his Norwich performance. No dramas and he looked a lot more up for it. Some nice passes form defence as well, well done Andre!
In the opening period they had the most of the play without creating too much. They were always a threat down the left, Wilson was pulled at half-time with Gomez slotting to RB - that won us the game in my opinion. They looked much more ragged in the second half and we looked a lot more difficult to break down. Guy Luzon - great decision.
On another note, how the shell did Forest finish the game with eleven men! Lansbury made three bad fouls AFTER his yellow card! Also, Antonio should have been sent off at the end. Antonio fouled Watt, the ref then booked the wrong player! Play resumed and Antonio fouled Watt again and got a booking. It should have been his second one in five seconds! And Darlow ... what a dick for starting an attack after we had put the ball out for the Vetokele injury! Oh well, alls well that ends well! Who had the last laugh ... :-)
Another mention for Cousins - quality from start to finish.
It's so great to be at The Valley at the moment. I'm enjoying the football and the players seem to be giving their all - including the network players. It's really nice to watch. 3 wins in a row at home - brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The best advertising campaign for season tickets in the world!
Well done tonight Charlton, you should all be proud!
Great performance again and with the enforced changes we still looked immense. Felt sorry for Harriot when he got injured but he was the weak link I'm afraid. Wilson did ok and put the cross in for Bulots second goal. As for his first, well, whatever JBG can do Bulot can do better!!! Special mention for Cousins who turned in one of his best games so far. Antonio the only real threat and Burke on the other wing looks lively but overall our defence looked too good against the Forest attack. Bring on the Bluebirds!!!
What a cracking game. Undoubtedly two of the current form teams, and both delivered I thought. Big changes to out starting 11, yet again everyone seems to know where they 'fit' in the side, it wasn't Wilson's fault that Antonio is a class act and was simply on fire. Wherever it is down to him or not, Luzon deserves a lot of credit in the same way Riga was at the same point last year.
We've had serious changes to our starting 11 over the last month - Watt, Johnson, Diarra, Eagles have come in and made a big impact, Henderson has returned, while Bulot has come back a different play. It has had in turn had an impact on other players who had lost form and confidence, such as Vetokele and Fox. All of a sudden the team looks a completely different team.
At the heart of that Jordan Cousins has been immense. I'd love to know how many yards he covered in the last 20 mins. Truly outstanding engine.
Well, what a enjoyable game, and a great team performance against a Forest side who had one clear plan which was to drag us across the pitch then switch the ball to Antonio/Burke. I cannot praise the team enough, I personally thought, Harriott and Wilson aside, everyone was fantastic. Even then Harriott and Wilson were not disgraceful at all, they were just outdone by a talented winger, but still both played a part in our second goal, Wilson in particular.
Jordan fucking Cousins in the second half, what a monster.
Personally thought Buyens had a great game, and played like he did early season for us (does not like to head a ball though), kept the ball moving in the middle and broke up play nicely on occasion.
Bulot - what incredible form he is in at the moment.
Diarra - considering he has not played a full 90 in a while and was not in his favourite position, he was a rock at the back.
Gomez - SEVENTEEN
Fox - you've had your doubters but you were calmness personified tonight. Very solid.
Vetekole - ran your heart out, tracked back like a beast from one end of the pitch to the other when Harriott was down injured.
YOU FUCKING WATT. Loved him holding up the ball at the end.
Guy Luzon - With a weakened squad got it spot on tactically today.
I am so happy at the moment, nothing like witnessing a hard thought win down the Valley.
I forgot to mention Diarra had a great game at centre half too,fair play to him!
Didn't see that at all - looked very nervous to me
Diarra was excellent. A midfielder coming in to CH, he did a top job. I can't recall Hendo having to make too many 'real' saves and that was all down to the players in front of him. Well played Alou!
Just home and having a celebratory beer. Very different to Saturday, but every bit as enjoyable. If we'd been 4-2 down at half time I don't think anyone could have complained, but we weren't so who cares. I don't go in for long reviews, so I'll just say that's the best I've seen Cousins play and that Watt in injury time was so funny, with the bloke losing the plot and careering into him for a booking the icing on the cake.
Luzon had the bottle to sub Wilson and Harriott and this kept us in front as their number 18 would have got something in the end . So the good points were luzon's tactics and substitutions; the defence looked better second half and bikey played well as did diarra but special mention to joe Gomez who was brilliant for someone so young Jordan was fantastic as was watt yet again .eagles lacked a bit of confidence but lepoint' s time on the pitch showed what a good player he is. It was bulot's night however and whilst not very strong he has great composure on the ball and a fantastic first touch so well done team Luzon and fans.
What a great performance! With a patched up team. Lots of people have pointed out the weak links but to be fair we carried Igor for most of the second half, clearly carrying a knock, should have been substituted earlier. Watt superb, Cousins outstanding. Could get used to this winning lark!
I think Harriott getting injured in quite possibly the funniest sniper / falling over moment I've seen for years, and then limping down the tunnel, down Luzon a favour with an enforced sub. I don't think he'd have made that change otherwise. Not that I thought Harriott was having a bad game, we were just too exposed down that side.
Would love to know how well a fit Solly would have done up against Antonio tonight.
Looking at the line up I thought it was going to be a game too far for us tonight, but by the end it was a game too far for Forest. It must be said that Forest were astonishingly profligate, that second half header a prime example, but considering our makeshift defence, and the adjustments we had to make, it was a good and deserved victory for us, absolutely so.
The first half was absorbing, the great early free kick from Bulot, and an excellent eye of the needle equaliser from Antonio. For the rest of the half, indeed for the rest of the game Forest had the majority of possession, but after a 20 minute spell where we were pinned back, a great overlap by Wilson led to our neatly taken second from Bulot, and that turned out to be that.
We adjusted at half time, with Gomez detailed to look after Antonio (and he was well helped by Bulot in that regard), and Eagles on for Callum, and the second half was laboured, but our workmanlike approach was good enough to carry us home. We threatened on occasion in the second half, but found it hard to sustain pressure, so were mature enough to be effective in stopping Forest, and they simply did not have that spark to get an equaliser.
It was very good work from Guy Luzon to get that win, and the players also deserve great credit for the shift they put in too. The vignette of possession late in the north west corner was lovely by the way, and the catch by Henderson right at the death was beautiful.
As for our players, well Henderson can't really be blamed for their goal and I thought he was excellent behind our makeshift central defence. A decent, yet out of position, Diarra tired as the game went on, and Gomez had to play a different role in each half, and an improved Bikey stepped up, and there is a very strong case for Fox as our MoM. Let us not forget that Gomez is still nearly three months off his 18th birthday, he may turn out to be our best ever youngster, and if I am right in that regard, a certain future international.
Yoni was similar to Saturday, and Cousins got better as the game progressed. Watt and Igor worked tirelessly, with Watt having the better game, and Bulot with his two goals, and especially with his willingness to help Fox and then Gomez was very good indeed.
Lawrie didn't surrender against Antonio, but he was always on the back foot, mind you he set up the winner so well done to him.
No doubt about it this was an excellent result, and it wasn't a lucky one but hard fought and well earned. I shall be going to Cardiff on Saturday, and hope we can dust ourselves down and be ready for that challenge.
Am I the only one who thought Forest should not have felt obliged to give the ball back when Vetokele was injured (or in truth 'fatigued')? I couldn't understand why they kicked it out in the first place.
Guy Luzon well played Sir. All those twats that sung 'don't know what you're doing.....hang your head in shame.

You missed out Buyens. Thought he was a different player tonight. Got stuck in at times and sprayed the ball around nicely. Hardly any misplaced passes. Also played the ball forward more than usual. Agreed on Cousins though - absolutely outstanding for 90 minutes.
Just to add Lansbury is a thug, ref bottled it sending him off. Only criticism of the night
Spot on. Landbury did f..k all apart from regularly fouling our players. And as for the fat lump they brought on to replace him. What a joke. All he could do was stand in front of Hendo when he was kicking the ball out. Too unfit to run back with his teammates! Joke.
It's funny, I felt we played worse after the subs But Wilson and Harriott were off the pace so respect to the manager for taking a risk and making the change.
I hope anybody that didn't "get" Cousins does now, after putting in consistent 8 out of 10 performances since being played in the position we've nearly all been calling for.
Cousins apart, we were subdued in the second half. That said, Forest didn't create many good chances. Diarra filled in well, if a little shaky in the second half. Best game I've seen from Fox and another promising display from Gomez, though his distribution needs work.
Buyens got stuck in today. Very good to see.
The front two didn't get a lot of service but worked hard before tiring towards the end.
4 goals for Bulot in 5 games now? Incredible!
Great result if not entirely deserved. The threat of relegation must have just about gone now.

We got the result tonight primarily because of Guy. Team selection very good with an injury list that's grown. I think he was right to start with Harriott but made decisive move to double sub. Wilson just faced a nightmare scenario.
Guy is getting the majority to improve and playing them in the right positions.
Well done the crouching tiger!
