  • Makienok is not going to be a Striker who'll score goals for us... He'll be a Striker who'll have Defenders wanting to sit off because they wont want to be in a scrap allowing space for our nippy Strikers to get in behind and score whilst allowing the likes of Gudmundsson and Fox to score from range

    Great result Watt changed the game but Kashi is a quality signing.

    Thoroughly enjoyed that performance. Was hopeful of a win but didn't think we would play that well-especially in the second half.

    Pope-though he looked nervous to start but that may have just been my imagination going on past experience. Good save seed to bring him around and took some crosses confidently in the second half.

    Baurer - very solid. Seems keen to clear with his studs sometimes, odd but effective. Don't think anyone got the better of him.

    Diarra-won everything in the air, good defensive partnership. They all played it across the back line well.

    Solly=Solly

    Fox-think that was the best I have seen him. Well taken goal, didn't think he would get the shot off but what a shot it was when he did!

    Cousins-ran his socks off, played some good passes,, standard performance from him really.

    Kashi- <3 looks fantastic so far. Bossed the back line around, dictated play from the back. Sprinted back after going forward and played some intelligent balls. Kashishev indeed. Crowd favourite I feel.

    Ba-started slowly but grew into the game, great control and some good moves came from him. Very assured especially second half.

    Jbg-exciting player once again, brilliant freekick that would have been the cherry on top. So glad he signed up for a few more years.

    Mak-big man got on the end of a lot of balls, good control and will cause havoc this season. Not sure he will score too many but a good target man (finally!).

    Twww-i used to play football.with someone like him. The ball just sticks to his feet when he goes past people. Made a big difference to the front lone when he came on. Great goal and think he got the assist too?

    Bergdych-looked very promising after he came on.

    How are these other players going to get into the team ;) very excited after that. Early doors and QPR didn't have going about them. But what a start.

    Luzon- got some songs, very entertaining. Even got involved in the game jumping up and down to distract someone taking a throw in. Unique indeed.

    Great day all round and looking forward to the next time. Didn't see a single win this season so much improved!!

    Must be something to do with strikers named Simon..
  • Lot of reports saying Austin hit the post. Did I fall asleep and miss that?!

    He nearly hit the corner flag.

    Watt changed game.

    Back 5 excellent.

    Kashi-player.

    Makienok did well 2nd half.

    and well done to Pope-great ovation he got in 1st half for that save.

    and well done Fox.

    Austin looked like an arrogant twat. He clearly didn't want to be out there and gave off an air that it was all beneath him. Given it is inevitable that he'll be gone I don't understand Ramsey playing him or involving him at all.

    'Kin 'ell if seth's happy then so am I! ;-)

    Stuck at work today so had to keep nipping into the TV room to check on the score although it was a con who told me we'd got our second. Reading through this has given me a positive glow. Would have been happy with a point before kick off so the win is brilliant. Hats off to Luzon and the players today.

    COYA!!!!!!!

    Couldn't go today but really excited as I followed via Twitter from a mountain in Austria in a thunderstorm!

    Big Mak is going to get a reputation as being someone defenders won't want to play - therefore he will create space and cause havoc. The goals will come - I think he'll be a real asset this season

    Credit to Luzon - he's got a great attitude and just wants to win.

    Maybe just maybe we're going to have an entertaining season

    Diarra MOM a superb display, who says he ain't a centre half great partnership with Bauer.
    Kashi was just class today just pipped by Diarra as MOM.
    Don't think I've celebrated a goal like Morgan's for years well pleased for the lad.
    Every player played well especially second half. Great display and even more positive for this season.

    One swallow doesn't make a summer but if we can stay injury free this year we've got the making of a very good team. For the first time in ages, we have a spine. Pope looked assured. Bauer and Diarra dominated their front 2. Kashi and Ba were up and down the field more times than the grounds mans mower and Big Mak did enough to worry their defence to give TWWW some space. I tell ya, the future's bright. The future's red n white.

    Gudmundssen Charlton's best player. All the new signing played well except Mankiof. Thought he was slow and just lazy. I thought KAG did ok. Lively, didn't hide, always showing for the forward pass.

    Ridiculous view of Makienok. Ask Clint Hill if he was lazy and whether he has been in a game today?

    He did some brilliant defensive work, a lovely dummy in the build up to Watt's goal and for a first game in the Championship I thought he put himself about really well. Good with the ball at his feet and won a fair few headers.
    I was only looking at his impact up front to be honest. Can't recall many headers won in the last third. Plenty of mis-timed jumps. I was disappointed. I hope he improves.
  • Know the Squad was changed because of a Training Ground incident but felt it was actually a good move from Luzon.

    First Half: Queens Park Rangers dictated the play and baring one great save from Pope I felt they rarely threatened and as per usual were just another team that looked impressive with the ball yet werent able to create anything, we looked nervous to begin with and there were a couple of misplaced passes (Kashi to behind Fox could have been dangerous)... It meant Charlton were limited to playing the counter attack and having Ahearne-Grant up front meant that we had the pace to create any limited chances (And almost got one on one with Green at one stage only to have the QPR Defender get to the ball just ahead of him).

    Second Half: Tony Watt came on and rightly made the difference, scoring a great goal, it meant that when we attacked we could go forward with purpose and wouldnt have to rush, from the goal never felt we were in danger of conceding with their efforts going straight at Pope and had he conceded from them, the abuse he'd have received on here could have been deserved (but he didnt, so to those bashing him, nerrrrr lol!), felt that Solly when in possession was a bit risky with the ball and lost it to Mackie a few times but a great performance from him... Felt that El-Hadji Ba going off meant the end of us possibly getting our third yet despite the ball going out of play I was impressed with the pace of Bergdich when he attacked down the wing at one stage.

    Wasn't at the game and have no opinion beyond being pleased we won.

    Well done to the QPR fans before the game.

    I know it is early, but where are all the people that said we should bring in championship players instead of all these foreign players
  • I thought Makienok did ok. He certainly has an impact on how the opposition defends. He stands his ground and forces the issue. I don't think any striker with his attributes are ever prolific but he has good feet and will be invaluable in games where we need an outlet. If he can chip in with 10 then I think he will have done very well given that he is likely going to create a lot more. Defensively today I thought he was very good.
  • Good solid performance to start.

    Positives:
    - Pope showed no nerves
    - Diarra and, especially, Bauer looked very assured.
    - Fox capped a good performance with a great goal
    - Kashi showed to all why Luzon was so pleased to get him.
    - Cousins, Solly, Gudmundsson and Watt all picked up where they left off.
    - Big Mak's second half

    Negatives:
    - Big Mak's first half
    - Diarra's lack of pace may find him out

    Don't want to get too carried away as QPR's second half performance was as bad as anything I saw in the Championship last season.

    Maybe cracking one out because we won - like I am

    everyone's entitled to their opinion but if you was seriously 'disappointed' with him then you know nothing about football.

    1st game in this division, had a tough 1st half but grew into game in 2nd half and great dummy for 1st goal to give Watt the space to move in to.

    sometimes you have to play for the team and sacrifice yourself. he did that very well in the 2nd half with his hold up play and defensive work.

    I heard that Watt was messing around during a Luzon team talk, hopefully he's got the message.

    Noting that two existing British championship players got the goals : - )

    No need for "where are all the...." posts. We won let's enjoy it.

    If thats the case, remember he's still just 21, just a kid. He'll mature after something like that

    Fantastic start, Charlie Austin who?

    First Saturday of the Championship season comes to a close and we are second, get in!

    Well done you Mighty Addicks!

    Don't want to go top too soon ;-)

    Good day for you H, seeing as you got a win on Valley Gold as well.

  • Good display - feel optimistic about the season ahead. Team has plenty of spirit and physically our players can handle themselves.

    New signings look promising - Kashi certainly has bags of energy. Makienok nullified their threat at corners.

    V enjoyable day!

    Fair play to Luzon for administering some discipline if tony had stuffed up, and well done tony for not sulking and giving everyone that performance 2nd half. Sounds good to me on all counts.

    Spot on.

    Football's back.

    "Don't bet on your own team" - turns out this is horse sh**. I've got 80 quid to prove it.

    And, also, football's back. God I love football
    and easy money.

    Kashi the pick of the bunch I reckon. Love them all though.
