    No one has mentioned Chucks appearing to be dragged to the floor at the far post. Was it a penalty?
    I thought Ahadme and Campbell played well. They were always available and clearances stuck up there which is so important.
    They refused to give their defence a minutes peace and softened them up for the finishers to come on.
    Hit the crossbar, poss Penalty and a very good goal, v their two shots on target.
    Great result and well deserved.

    Looked like a 50/50 from where I was sat. Could have been given but Chuks seems to get absolutely nothing from referees 
  • I won’t name him, but my highlight today was bumping into a lifer before the game who I know has had a hell of a year health wise. He’s a fantastic bloke and just seeing he’s down the Valley again and on the road to recovery made my day 💪
    That's a lovely thing to read 🤗

    What was the attendance today?

  • Great day other than walking in on a large bloke having one off the wrists in trap 3 of the east stand khazis. 

    Think he's in there regularly from what other people were saying.

    ;-(


    It's not Craven Cottage !

    My heart can’t take a whole season of this. First half was absolutely shocking and Orient really should have scored that chance Gillesphey gifted them. They pressed much higher than us and left us punting hopeless long balls forward while they played the ball around pretty comfortably. 

    Second half they seemed to tire and we got a lot more forward momentum. If not for Small’s comedic crossing we might have been ahead a bit earlier.

    I’m still at the point where I can’t work out if we’re a rubbish team scraping wins or a good team just doing what we need to do. Either way Bolton next week will be the biggest marker yet.

    Special mention also for a truly embarrassing referee. 
    We weren’t rubbish in the first half. We just weren’t quite as expansive as we’re all used to seeing over the last few years where we’ve had to score 3 to win any game. We were solid, fit, disciplined and professional. 

    Jones has addressed what needed addressing. Our ability to keep clean sheets and long may it continue. 

    People criticising Ahadme need to look at why their defence was so tired at the end. He didn’t give them a moments peace. He didn’t have a great game, but he and Campbell were quite relentless in not giving those defenders time. Meaning that when Aneke came on he could simply bully them time and again.
    In Jones we trust. As a tactic, running, and pushing, and pressing, seems oddly ineffective and a bit boring, if that's all we do, but that is pretty much the size of it. We just wear out the opponents. It's like a marathon. Survival of the fittest. 
    Then we just pop one in and everyone's happy. 

    I'd love for someone to ask him if this is 'it' when it comes to the new Charlton way. 

    Pretty sure he doesn't care about pretty football, so long as the 3 points keep rolling in, which I guess is his job, that he will keep longer than anyone else lately if he is here in May. 


  • Sean Clare left us one full season ago, of our starting line up only TC had played with him .. that is a hell of a player turnover, so it may take a while to click, but we currently have potentially a better midfield and defensive squad than previous few seasons especially with depth. When it comes to the forward line until a fully fit Leaburn returns, and we see more of Godden I think we have a problem. Ahadme is not giving me confidence he can replace half of May's goals.

    But we are two games in with 100% record and we could have a great season.
  • I managed to watch on a somewhat dodgy stream. There are so many new players that I can’t really judge them individually yet. I do like the way our passing looked so assured through the lines but we’re toothless up front.

    The only individual judgement I will make is that after playing a key role in our recent crap history, Sean Clare has now risen to 3rd place in my most hated Charlton players of all time.

    Wow thank you 😊

    Ahadme softened them up with his running and work, Aneke is a finisher in the world of 5 subs, works well 
    He won’t get many goals but he is game as fuck. They had two units and he didn’t shirk one header. I like him.
    I totally agree with this but it's not worth 1 million pound or anywhere near

    I thought it was a pen but the ref seemed to allow that sort of play. I thought he was very poor today. He didn't favour either team but not sure how Clare's dangerous tackle wasn't a red any day of the week. There were spells when he missed fouls on both sides and that affected the game. Beckles thought he had a free pass to foul Aneke then suddenly got pulled up for it.

    In the second half, Orient showed no ambition and they did frustrate us with bodies in the box but you can always concede when you set up like that. I thought Chuks looked good physically which may be an illusion but could also be promising.

    Did you miss Campbell, Ramsey and Small skinning some of their players?
    As for oddly ineffective, Chucks left a defender in his wake. Has he suddenly got pace or was the defender knackered?
    It is the sum of all parts that will give us an edge, and for a team just getting to know each other I think it has been impressive.
    Let’s face it, you don’t have to look back too far to see how far pretty football gets you in this league. 
    Never a truer saying than you have to win the battle for the right to play.

    And I agree he ain’t worth that. But, we got him and I appreciate what he’s done so far.
  • BTW, nearly forgot. Many thanks to @Stu_of_Kunming for his links to streams.
