My Mrs was on her phone checking the score for me. I told her that the ref would add 7 or 8 minutes as we were winning. She told me not to be so stupid.
I was just willing us not to concede another late goal and even better the wife said 'you were right about the time I can't believe they added so much.'

It was 5 officially Len but some good game management mainly by Dillon saw another couple added 😉

It was only 5, but yes. 6 subs and we had few players go down to waste time.
Totally agree with all the praise for the team, Sarr, Taylor, Oztumer, Phillips in particular, for Bowyer and also the fans who were brilliant. Won't repeat it.
But I'm going to have one moan. Just don't understand the substitution of Hemed by Smith. The poor lad looked well out of his depth and just ran around fairly pointlessly. With Taylor left without a partner up front, we couldn't keep the ball and it just kept coming straight back. That could have cost us.
Bonne was on the subs bench. Why not bring him on for the last 20 mins
Will enjoy the 3 points but really hope we aren’t going to milk this, naby sarr great assist but how many goals has he cost us this season? ( genuinely interested in people’s opinions )
Maybe it’s me just being miserable but we’ve won 6 games prior to today chucked in a disgraceful performance Saturday which cost a lot of fans the guts of a 100 quid to attend, but that’s football.
we need another 12/13 points to be safe I would say
Luton and Barnsley are as good as gone
and we are 6 although really 7 with goal difference above Wigan.

To be fair to Bowyer I felt he was trying to overload the Midfield, add more bodies and so make it harder for Forest to break through
On this occasion it thankfully worked (as we won) but agreed in the sense of introducing Bonne or Aneke who could have supported Taylor more
Most of the focus is on Naby's cross - with good reason - but that is a fantastic finish from Lyle. Really easy to get those wrong even from close range but he met it perfectly
I thought we were outstanding tonight, I was really pleased Hemed got a run out, but he looked so rusty he looked like he should have been sprayed with WD40.

Saving him for Saturday and beyond. No point in rushing him back.

Should have Green back Saturday if his sore knee has cleared up
Said it at the time; If the Bonne has said no to being subbed sooner against Derby then he's his own worst enemy
By not coming off he's effectively lost his place to Andre Green and has to wait all over again

Fair enough. But in that case, use Aneke up front. Surely one of him and Bonne could have done 20 minutes? If not, why were both on the subs bench?

Then again Bowyer has moaned about Aneke's work off the ball quite a few times... Not the sort of player you wanted on the pitch towards the end of the match
Said this on the match preview thread. I was holding my breath at the time as it was directly against most posters' comments predicting a certain loss after the shambles against Stoke. BUT, after 60+ years following this great club results like this one tonight are more common than you might think. Got the score wrong but who cares, we got three precious points. "A win for us. We are different gravy when we play against the top teams and can regularly upset the odds. 2-0 to us."
Great from Matthews, Taylor and Sarr but also a special mention for Hemed, who ran his socks offfor the cause. Just wish he could get a goal. Roll on Saturday
Yaeh had a quick look at a forum and no neg comments about us. Mostly saying that their manager took the piss and got was what coming.
"That man monster, Sarr, Charlton had at the back made Lolley look like a child. If he plays like that every week there is no way Charlton will hold onto him in the summer."
This is what being a Charlton fan is all about ... supporting since 69, some massive highs and massive lows epitomized this week with Stoke and Forest.
Didnt see much if anything said about the ref on the match thread (leaving aside length of injury time) and also getting generally good marks on the player marks thread. Feels unusual . As Sage pointed out for us- Referee: Darren Bond (Lancashire) - Previously officiated Charlton in 2-2 home draw with Cardiff.

Blimey mate I m not Aneke's greatest fan but I'd have preferred him on the field for the closing stages rather than some poor kid who contributed very little!
I’ve been Forest a good few times and even sat on that side of the pitch when we went in lounge there years back but what is /was going on with all that tennis clay court / orange running track without lines or whatever it is along that side of the pitch . Never ever noticed it being that massive before , looks like a massive gap to the stands when I always thought it very close , maybe just more noticeable cos it’s not grass

First win in our black kit too
I was just willing us not to concede another late goal and even better the wife said 'you were right about the time I can't believe they added so much.'
Was it justified to add 7 minutes?
