Wonder if Ness will be the first to be recalled (Unless he cant for 28-days), given he's actually played for us this season already compared with Elerewe and Barker - Be good if he'll be allowed to play for Torquay tomorrow in the FA Cup, as their game with Derby is on ITV
Enjoyable game. Very pleasantly surprised to see Charlton respecting the competition and the opposition and putting a strong team out. If a few more of our recent managers had done this, there might have been a better turn out today.

If he plays tomorrow, he then cannot play for us in the next round

Just depends if we can turn round at this stage and say he cant play, if we've originally agreed.
I hope we cant, as would be a bit prickish to Torquay's plans
I'm surprised it's not happened already. We could get away with Mitchell on the bench today as it was Tier 7 opposition, but if we had been playing a L2 or NL club, I think Mitchell would have been found out.
I like 4-4-2 but thought Coalville were naive to try it against a patient, passing, build up team like Charlton. They needed to change it after about 20 mins when it was obvious their two forwards couldn't shut down our back four and their passing routine. As ineffective as Clare was (he lacked drive) he still offered us width and Coalville needed a five man midfield to close up the flanks.
As for performances, it was hard not to be impressed with Mitchell (despite the lack of forward opposition). He was incredibly smooth coming forward and beautifully balanced. This is a real player.
Well done to Stockley too. He did plenty of hard work and laid off/played some good balls. Nice to see him take some shots too. He was crap last week v Ipswich but hopefully today will remind him, what a decent player he can be, when he just plays, rather than look to blame others when things get tough.
Also...JFC showed why he ought to be in the league match day squad. A very tidy performance, from a player who has hardly played. Someone is going to get a bargain in January.
Finally...a real shame Jake's header didn't go in, in the final minute. 4-1 or 4-2....didnt matter....it would have been so special for him to score.
Who is this young fella and what is this all about? I must have missed something?
Got released by West Ham and has played at a few non-league clubs. Big Charlton fan from Dartford. Really gutted when his last minute header was saved.
Mitchell looked good coming forward, but then he was hardly tested in defence for 90% of the game. I'm always a little bit wary about getting too excited about defenders who are good on the ball until they've shown they can do the "day job" as well.

I wasn't. He was playing against Charlton, not for Charlton.
I don't get why people in the west stand stood and clapped when they scored.
Our team is threadbare but highly motivated. Only a few, but high quality players, mixed with kids. Garner makes all the difference - Jacko's wimbledon drew to Weymouth today. Says it all really.
Never knew a bunch of fans to be so depressed in a game where we won 4 - 1, and the only reason we conceded was because our 4th choice CB made one mistake.
This is spot on. Some of the whinging is off the scale.
With McGrandles, he was in my memory bank of strong League One players but he hasn't shown that since joining us. Obviously, I had a high opinion of him from noticing strong performances.
I have a nagging feeling that TS and a few aging hangers on are in a studio somewhere across the pond, penning a rock anthem to celebrate our glorious progression through this iconic competition...
In all seriousness, I awake to a strange feeling. Charlton have not embarassed themselves to lower league opposition in the FA Cup. Well done the lads!

I thought their rendition of 'you're just a small town in millwall' quite novel.

Appreciate him, he still has to develop, he stepped up when called on, did it well, kudos.
