I like brownie as a commentator. Always miss him not being on, even pay a tenner when i could watch it for free just so i can get annoyed.

No expectations 

Briston_Addick

Well-worked routine ...

But ultimately came to nothing.

ForeverAddickted

Great pressing from Kanu to win the corner in the first place.

Commentary out of sync with visuals as usual

ForeverAddickted

Oh that was a very well worked corner, shame it came to nothing but great idea

Gribbo

Bright start

Scoham

Is it a box midfield rather than a diamond? Looking more like Anderson and Campbell further forward than Docherty and Coventry.

Briston_Addick

Alfie's first touch, down in the left forward corner ...

Alfie's first proper boo of the arvo ...

CL_Phantom

Cant work out of its a diamond or box midfield, looks closer to the latter.

It is. El Boxo.

ForeverAddickted

Looks like a box midfield. Docherty and Coventry deep, A. Campbell and Anderson further up.

Yep. Normally it’s early, but it’s behind the play today. 

ForeverAddickted

May being booed when he touches the ball

Taxi_Lad

Commentary a bit behind 

Callumcafc

It’s not a diamond, it’s a box midfield with Anderson and Campbell man marking their two ball playing midfielders

Scoham

Our pressing forces a throw in their half

Booing May??? Pricks

CL_Phantom

Well, the high press has returned at least. Guess that what ACampbell has been thrown in an advanced position for.

ForeverAddickted

Pressing so much better today, seeing signs of that fitness from the early games again

Exiled_Addick

Sound is out of sync again on CharltonTV. Hasn’t been perfectly lined up on any game so far this season.

Only a handful of the Valley though

Scoham

Good move, Kanu’s first cross from the right cleared, second cross Godden puts over 

CL_Phantom

ohhhhh

Kanu gets two attempts to get a ball in, second time he finds Godden who shoots just over.

Positive stuff!

Briston_Addick

Just over!

Good persistance up front and the second attempt at a cross is volleyed just over.

Don't ask who the players were, it's a long way away.

Meanwhile their no 9 has just been dumped on his arse. Brum FK just in front of the tunnel ...

ForeverAddickted

Oh great move there lads!!... Should be 1-0
