I agree... BUT that's probably the first decision that you could call as a real mistake. And given how well Anderson has done recently I don't think anyone expected him to drop off quite so dramatically.Fortune 82nd Minute said:Sorry but going to be critical of NJ.
Young Corey had an absolute nightmare tonight. His passing was just awful. He should have been taken off at least 20 minutes before he was. And as soon as Bakinson came on things improved.
Huge shout outs to Small - his fitness and athletism was unreal tonight. Sign him up now please - Coventry and Tennai Watson - considering he is playing with an injury he was very good.
Hopefully we are nearly safe now.
Jones gets much much more right than wrong. I'm sure he'll be as disappointed as anyone that it didn't work out on this occasion.4 -
Deserved the win but looked like we might have blown it. Was never going to be easy and they do what they do well. Happy with that.1

Small was immense,Bakinson great sub appearance,Coventry really finding his feet now,Kanu hitting his stride,Alfie for sticking with it,good lad,we made hard work of that,but credit where it’s due,the rest of squad kept it going,well done boys…
NJ’s Red n White Army8 -
Agree he looks tired. Problem is we do not have anybody else who can play at 10 with that energy and grit (and skill). Alfie could but with Aneke out injured again that would mean all our 3 fit strikers on the pitch from the getgo. Interesting to see what happens against Carlisle but my guess is NJ will stick with Anderson.DOUCHER said:

Did anyone see NJ’s interview on Charlton tv afterwards? He had smoke pouring out of him, like a Welsh dragon.14

he’s a better man than me. As soon as I heard the boos I would’ve given it bigguns after scoringDarenth said:Alfie didn't seem to know what to do with himself when he scored!2 -
May got booked after Bakinson’s goal for going into the crowd.1StevieG said:sounded like a whistle blew when Thierry Small snuck in to take the ball off defender and slip May in for the third
I think the ref blew his whistle as soon as the third went in, to remind May not to do it again.1 -
Think Tennai Watson is starting to look a really decent player. Wonderful assist tonight and he controlled that right side really well. Think having had REG behind him has really helped. He and Small have been excellent on this run.41

I only had audio but he sounds passionateMendonca In Asdas said:Did anyone see NJ’s interview on Charlton tv afterwards? He had smoke pouring out of him, like a Welsh dragon.

I think REG and Coventry look better each game. Small looks the player Real Madrid were sniffing around at one point. Delighted May got his goal…eventually.Things are looking up but we HAVE to beat Carlisle to really make the recent results have the needed impact. COYR!6

I have been critical of Watson but he has made massive strides in the last few games. Not perfect as maybe he was lucky not to give away a penalty and lost his man in the build up to their goal but he is getting to a good place.8
-
The improvement in the wing backs has been so important. Watson looks a different player altogether and whoever found Small (was it NJ himself) has got us a real gem. Small and Coventry both excelled tonight, with Tennai not far behind.5
-
3 Great points and should have scored more first half.
Just think how good May could be if he did not miss out on so many chances.superb substitutions in the second half from NJ
paid off in the end.
COYR we want 6 on Saturday 🤣🤣👍👍0 -
Get in, great win at a place we normally play crap and get nothing! Good to see May get his goal, could have bagged a hat trick but happy to get three points and up to 14th. A few more wins and we will be safe.1
-
We can play with no fear against Carlisle now. I really think as a club and squad they’ll be looking at top half now and thinking that’s the target. Northampton are 12th and they conceded 5 tonight.
If we can show prospective players that we’re on that upward trajectory we suddenly become a lot more attractive.21 -
Definitely improved going forward but not convinced about his defending yet - watch his half arsed defending in the run up to the Cheltenham goal.RC_CAFC said:Think Tennai Watson is starting to look a really decent player.

Maybe....... but there's still a lot of games to be played. There's the '6-pointers'... many teams in the bottom half still have to play each other - and they can't both win.Pelling1993 said:I think after tonight that the current bottom 4 will be the 4 that go down
Still time for a Fleetwood, Port Vale, Cheltenham to escape or a team to free fall into trouble.0 -
PWR the match thread. Does Alfie May’s booking (presumably for trapping off) now mean that he’s banned for two matches?0

Pretty scrappy but we really should be OK now. Small is a great addition, played really well again. Also Coventry, REG (who I've changed my mind about as he has improved with appearances), Gillesphey and Watson. That was my last stream I fear. Living away from London but still an addick. COYR.

The job that NJ has done is nothing short of remarkable.
Six weeks ago Appleton was taking this team down.
If anybody moans that Anderson, Kanu or ANOTHER teenager has not had a great game.... get a grip!
They are teenagers and have literally been a key part in stopping us getting relegated.
Jones has proven that, with a semi decent squad, and a half decent manager, anything is possible
I say it now, 100% confident it stands a chance....
Nathan Jones gets us promoted next season
We have our Charlton back
I vow to attend more games than ever next season
Thank you the "money men" and whoever else pushed for Jones
We'd be dead without him......51 -
I thought it was a good win and well deserved.4

We've got some good competition starting to build now.RC_CAFC said:Think Tennai Watson is starting to look a really decent player. Wonderful assist tonight and he controlled that right side really well. Think having had REG behind him has really helped. He and Small have been excellent on this run.
Watson and Ramsey competing for the right wing back.
Jones, REG, Gillesphey, Hector and Thomas for centre back.
Small and Edun left wing back.
Coventry and Anderson central midfield. Even better if we can possibly keep Dobson.
Leaburn, May and Kanu up front. Aneke too, if he is fit.
I still feel we need to strengthen at Goalkeeper and Attacking midfield. They're my priorities in the Summer.
jury out on Terry Taylor but the fact that he's not getting a look in under NJ says a lot.1 -
It could/should be 9 points from 9.5
-
What a scrappy game! As someone else said we could have won 6-1 or lost it! Coventry and Watson need shooting for their goal,,,but ironically, both have made a difference since NJ's arrival as manager. Nice finish by Kanu. Next year, I don't want Isted in goal.1
-
Exactly that, also having a manager like NJ can only be a plus.RC_CAFC said:We can play with no fear against Carlisle now. I really think as a club and squad they’ll be looking at top half now and thinking that’s the target. Northampton are 12th and they conceded 5 tonight.

Damp Tuesday in Cheltenham, come away with a 1-3 win.
Some positives - Small is f***in mustard being one.
Some criticism - Isted not making a better job of dealing with initial shot before their goal being one.
But, it is what it is, 3 points away from home.
Bring on Crewe on Saturday 💪 👏2 -
Was at Northampton Saturday we were miles ahead but got a point ! Today we were poor second half but got the win !! Maybe evens out !?? But we look so different to Micky Apples side NJ is the Messiah !!!3
