Post-match Thread: Shrewsbury Town vs Charlton Athletic | Saturday 22nd October 2022 - 3pm

edited October 2022 in General Charlton
Charlton travelled up to Shropshire seeking their first away win against a solid and in-form Shrewsbury side that haven’t lost at home all season.

The opening minutes of the first half started with both sides quite tight and cagey. There were attempts for each side that could have separated the sides, but neither were able to capitalise. Rak-Saki had two gilt-edge chances that left him and his teammates shaking their heads. As the half wore on, Charlton grew into the game, finding their passing form and some confidence in their attacking intent. But the first half finished goalless.

The second half started much like the first. However, having weathered a period of Shrewsbury possession, the Addicks found their feet and began to impose themselves again. After a handful of decent opportunities, on 69 minutes, Rak-Saki’s persistence paid off when he found the back of the net on his third attempt to put the Addicks ahead. From then on, Charlton managed the game out, looking well organised and solid with and without the ball. 

A solid performance resulting in a much needed away win and a clean sheet. Finally, we’ve strung a few wins together for that elusive run up the table. 3 wins in 3.

Over to you.

    Win our next two games and we are going to be right in the mix.

    Fantastic, may I be the first to say ‘a clean sheet win’
    Onto Tuesday night now COYR
  • I’m getting carried away but this team has most of the qualities needed for a promotion side. We have grit, technical quality, athleticism, experience, youth, strength in depth. Combine all of that with the momentum we’ve got now from 3 wins on the bounce, we will be up there.

    Very good win. Looking decent defensively and not so many long range shots coming in.
    Sandgaard thread will be quiet this week!
  • Great result. In the mix now. Well done Garner and the lads.

  • It's a clean sheet win 🎶🎶🎶🎶
  • Really impressed with that. 
    OConnell and Innis superb. What a difference. Jayden, Dobson, Kirk and Fraser also excellent. Thought Payne was exactly what we need too.
    Well done Garner. A new Dawn or another bright moment in another season of mediocrity?
    We’ll see. Two homes games now. Perfect chance to press home advantage. 
  • Centre backs, in particular O'Connell, were excellent today.

  • Terrible misses from JR-S, but then he pops up with the winner. Deserved the win, a few weeks ago, as Brownie said, that's a draw. The power of momentum is amazing in football.  
  • Been very critical of us this season. But that was a great win and a good performance credit where it's due! UTA
  • We spent all summer and the first quarter of the season and look awful, change system and suddenly we’re one of the best teams in the league!

    Well deserved, Shrewsbury threatened at times but were more interested in protecting and hitting us on the break - How that has got them to the heights of 8th (before the game) I'll never know.

    Glad Rak-Sakyi got the winner, but got he was shit and that will be reflected in the marks from me.

    Big win, as apart from Ipswich the fixture list looks very kind to us between now and Boxing Day, so there is a great opportunity to really push for a Play-Off position as we head into the New Year. Of course it could all yet change (as we've shown ourselves the last few weeks), but thank fuck that first away win is done and dusted.

    Very decent debut from Tyreece Campbell
    Go look at the SOS rankings I made, they are 22nd ie had the third easiest fixtures so far.

    Their next four games are Plymouth, Portsmouth, Barnsley and Sheff Wed. Expect them to get 2-3 points max from that and tumble into the bottom half by mid November.
  • Should have won by more. Goal difference less than it should be because Sandgaard didn't sign a striker 🤣
