  • I dont think that angle shows the force of Sarr being sent down

    That tackle is shocking. Definite red. Not even a doubt. Out of control, both feet off the ground, flying in. Red.


    Not if you're Clint (sp) Morrison. 

    palarse twat. 🤬

    This league is great fun ain’t it. Little Charlton running about pissing everyone off. Love it. 
    This is a great season, spent most of it smiling

    Great performances all over the pitch. Our midfield 3 was particularly strong. We look a better team without Leko in the starting line up. Pratley MotM.

    Safe by 30 games at this rate and then build from there. 
    If this side get a sniff of the playoffs heading into the final stretch, god help the others. 
  • Before the break beat Leeds, lose midweek to Swansea, draw 2-2 at Fulham

    After the break, beat Derby, lose midweek to Bristol,  draw 2-2 at WBA

    I think that’s a very good point 
  • soft but he does catch his foot when he jumps and he doesn't win the ball either so could and has been given

    Awful tackle for the red card. Looks like the ball was handballed in the lead up to their second.

    Penalty looks a bit soft.

  • Outstanding display from the Addicks, what a way to bounce back from the disappointment of Tuesday night

    Yes you can say its frustrating that we keep conceding against ten men but at the end of the day you have to remember the talent at the disposal of these teams we're facing - Said it in the summer and still see it now, most of our games this month have been no different to Charlton v Accrington with us playing the part of the latter this time around - Accrington proved when they came to the Valley that they werent going to roll over for us and now we're proving to the top teams that we're not going to roll over for them - We as fans though do still need to remember the ability amongst the likes of West Brom | Leeds even Bristol City and acknowledge that they've got players who can hurt us even if they are a player down

    The fairytale continues though, yet in all honesty I dont care if we dont go up - The Championship is continuing to prove why its such an entertaining League and fully expect more twists and turns even before 2019 is done and dusted - Gallagher was back to his best today after a quiet evening in Bristol; Bonne had a quiet game today but proved he's a proper Striker who only needs one chance to score

    Certainly impressed with Sarr too, I know he's played as part of a back three a few times now this season but after his Wembley performance he's come on leaps and bound in that formation now

    Was it a sending off; absolutely
    Was it a penalty; Hmmm

    Without doubt; Cullen is a Kinsella type player though; showed his quality to both Charlton and West Ham not just with his overall performance but to have the balls to step up and take an important penalty, although as he showed against Doncaster in the Play-Offs; stepping up to take penalties in crunch situations is nothing new to him

    great result. given all the injuries i though or midfield were epic today! best midfield performance ive seen from CAFC this season. Terrible ref.
    Massive month coming up, all winnable games!
    I haven't seen the game so will take your word for it.

    But he did send their player off and give us a soft penalty in the last minute. Not the actions of a terrible ref, surely?
  • Blatant handball by Robson-Kanu
    Cheers Gary, I spoke in my piece about it being a doubtful penalty for us but the same could be said about their second goal!! - Officials were certainly off the pace today, Livermore was without doubt lucky to be on the pitch after just two minutes today whilst they couldnt even get the basis right (i.e. Sarr being shoved off the ball yet no Free-Kick)

    Bit like Linnington's decision not to give Pearce a Free-Kick in the dying stages on Wednesday

    Sometimes you get the luck going your way (it didnt on Wednesday), sometimes it does (it kinda did today)

    One thing I'll say about the "soft" penalty: when the pillock clashes into Sarr, you can see as he peels off of him his left arm is tugging Sarr around.

    He may not last on TV.  Jeff Stelling gave him a rollocking for using the a similar word that starts with a B.

    No doubt Stelling will be labelled a racist?
  • West Brom fans on twitter saying it wasnt a red, how on earth can you say thats not a red
    Ask Clinton Morrison.

    Not a red card as far as he's concerned.

    Twat.
  • Great thread too

    I will counter his opinion by pointing out he is a diving cheating stripey Palarse twat.

    Firstly, a very fortunate penalty from what I can see. I may be wrong but it looked harsh. Secondly, a definite red card. Not high, like Bertrand’s last night but out of control and late.
    Their second was, probably more handball than not.

    I can’t add much to what others have said on here. What a fantastic group of staff and players we have. We are on a pretty amazing journey with them and it doesn’t appear to be stopping any time soon. 

    Bowyer is proving himself to be a quality leader of people. It would be amazing to spend a week behind the scenes with him to see how he spends that time. His tactical nous is way beyond what I ever expected as is his ability to get the best out of people, regardless of age, ability or reputation.

    I do have a real fear that a top club may come calling this season. I am watching what is happening at Derby with interest and trepidation. Cocu is seriously struggling and given how we gave them a lesson last week he must be pretty high up on any list of potential replacements.

    Anyway, whatever happens happens and I can’t wait for next week to see how we do against Preston.

    We deserved that. Again, luck wasn't with us but we kept plugging away and got what we deserved. Can't help feeling though that we could have won that (like Wednesday). Overall, feeling pretty satisfied after that one but would have been gutted (again, like Wednesday) if Robson-Kanu had sunk that one at the end.

    I must admit I wasn't sure that Bows did the right thing by replacing Pratley with Aneke, especially after they got their 2nd shortly after. But, fine margins and the penalty leveled it which we deserved.

    You've got to give it to Bows - he delivers entertainment. That was a cracking game.

    Overall, considering our injuries, we played well. I didn't think Naby had his best game and I'm not a fan of Oztumer. 

    I thought the referee was poor.
  • Strange first half in that we dominated play creating some good chances, but Albion tore us apart down the flanks, constantly attacking down our right and crossing to the poorly marked Phillips at the back post. He should have scored more than the one goal he got, and missed another one at the start of the second half

    they really bossed things the start of the second half, our equaliser was against the run of play really, but great poaching by Bonne after Cullen’s shot.

    chaos surrounding the red card as the ref seemed to send the wrong player off, but as with Wednesday it wasn’t obvious which team had the man advantage. Good goal by HRK, didn’t see the handball. After the sickener of Wednesday, so nice that we were the team scoring in injury time, a soft penalty but seen them given.

    Cullen was really good today, Gallagher lively. Oztumer was ineffective, Chuks similarly poor in attack but did defend in the box well. Dillon made some excellent saves, Naby could have scored but also had a couple of casual moments. Slightly  puzzled by the formation we played, with Solly sometimes being the most advanced player!
