We saw enough for the kids tonight to know that if we are in a relegation fight, that we have the depth of players to do a job. It’s just we had 5/6 of them on the pitch at the same time. Quality back from injury and players added, we will be fine I’m sure of it.
What a performance from the young lads in the second half. They should all hold their heads high. We move on to the next game together with our new owners!! Up the reds!
To have 5 players involved who started the season in non-league or in our academy, and to play like that, and easily hold our own against a well established Championship side, makes me incredibly proud to be a Charlton fan.
How good a manager is Lee Bowyer! Look at our squad compared to Swansea's, yet once again we are competing. Bowyer is getting every last inch of talent out of these boys at the moment, and silly mistakes aside, they are all a credit to themselves for the effort they are putting in
Superb. Completely different performance from that against Derby a few days ago when we were woeful. For me, Matthews, Purrington and Davisson put in their best performances of the season in the second half.
Considering the team, we put in a very assured performance. It's the equivalent of Liverpool putting their kids out against villa in the cup - they got trounced 5-0. They gave it their all, especially second half but it just didn't come off.
We created a decent atmosphere as well, Swansea sang in the 97th minute - if only we got points for that!
Bring on the return of our midfield and some new signings. Onwards and upwards

so much better than against derby - we set up as a team which gave us half a chance regardless of age rather than just putting 8 senior defensive players out

I’ll settle for that ... fighting performance.
Swansea top 6 my arse
Get a good few signings in now and we'll have enough to push on away from the drop zone.
Mention to purlington who I think had a good game tonight
A really good performance from the young lads and we're rid of the idiot who left us as sparse as we are. Now to build it up.
Very encouraging display after the dross at Derby a few days ago.
Roland has gone
The future is bright

Alas, I have a bit more confidence for the short term future.
