    Hate it when people lob flares forward etc, proper winds me up cause then you've got people involved who want no part in it, if you're gonna do it (you shouldn't) at least do it amongst your mates

    Funny old game innit?

    I over slept so missed the first 30 mins. Seeing the teamsheet and the, apparently, weak midfield I was surprised we weren’t already behind.

    Watched the second half and it was one way traffic. When we conceded such an unlucky goal I was expecting we might lose 3 or 4 - 1 but instead, somehow, we managed to dig out not just a point but a win. 

    Immense effort and, watching back the highlights, despite Blackburn’s apparent dominance all but probably one of the best chances fell to us and their goal we scored for them so in many ways it was an excellent away performance. 

    Pearce MOTM for me. Gallagher looked good. Albi too. Taylor there when it mattered again too and showing preseason goals aren’t what matters.  Still really need those signings, but this game shows budget isn’t everything and sheer hard graft can win you points.

    Up the Addicks and strap in for the ride everyone. This team won’t be giving up just because the owner is a lunatic, and neither should we fans.

    Just rewatched, you’re quite right.

    Was JFC who missed the effort, not Gallagher

    I'd say it was a good save anyway.

    Can't play with nobody outside him. But may learn to. Not sure why Pearce is central of the three.

    Too scared to say we’ll be involved in a relegation scrap for most of the season.

    We’re so fucking good we should walk this league and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn’t a clue . 

    Seriously that’s a brilliant win and we are above the scum , what’s not to like !

    Well, that result has put a smile on my face. Hopefully it will silence some of the doom mangers. Always better to view things from a glass half full perspective. 
    What's a doom manger? An eating place for depressed horses? 🙂

    Doom mongers.  Blame spell-check. Catches me out often.

    JFC chance for 1-3 at the death (great work from Albie Morgan)


    Fantastic run and pass to JFC by Albie , we have to keep him in squad and not send him out on loan!

    Great win !!!
    On the evidence of yesterday's game, we will send a few opposition managers to therapy for bewilderment symptoms. Teams will not fancy playing us.

  • Well you guys robbed us blind today. But in all fairness we didnt deserve anything.  Our defense needs an overall, we may have the tools to score some goals, but even the simplest errors and we look like bambi on ice. Fair play and hope your season pans out nicely.

    Catch my thoughts, words from our Gaffa and a couple of fans points of view.

    Robbed you blind? How many shots did you have. You can have have all the possession you want but if you don’t make our keeper to break a sweat then your the robbers. You robbed all your fans of their hard earned cash when they expect you to do the the business. You got what you deserved      NOTHING.

     Robbed you blind?

    We scored all three goals, Sure, you dominated possession but we were more clinical, defended better and looked comfortable weathering your fruitless attacks. 

    Thanks for sharing your view though I do always enjoy reading how opposition sides felt on the day.

    *Edit having watched your video too.

    1. Our centre backs stopped our keeper being busy.
    2. Your keeper made a couple of fantastic saves... A 5 seems harsh seeing as he was beat by a clever lob pass to an unmarked back post and a clever flick from an unmarked striker.
    3. Your defence and lazy finishing cost you yesterday.

    I really wasn't expecting any change out of Blackburn and hoping inevitable defeat would at least be respectable. With my son we followed the game updates and were really made up with the win. 
    Fair play to all making the journey, what a start

    Looked a proper away day that one. Gutted I couldn’t go but we’ll chuffed for all of you who did. We’ll need good away support this year and days like yesterday just encourage people to do more.

    I suggest if your defense needs an overall you visit a site that supplies workwear.

    As far as the game goes, we robbed no one.

    My gob is well and truly smacked. Had a stream on in the bar, but it was so ropey I gave up. Kept jumping forward and backwards like a drunk kangaroo. In the 10 minutes I watched (which took 15) I think we got the ball in their half twice. Brilliant win!

    looking through the BBC 'in play stats' y/day, as one does, it was noticeable how many sides, especially away, got a result with less possession than the opposition .. modern football is about 'on the break and score' .. defences are often so well organised and determined, that 'pressure' is absorbed, if not easily, then comfortably. It takes skill and genius on the break or well organised free kick/corner routines to get behind defences to create openings and to score
