    Nugent's played two up top and gone for it, as a Charlton team should in the third division. That's the difference between Nugent and Slade.

    So the question has Nugent actually changed much or is this just us bearing the fruits of Slade's work?

    Sorry its the latter for me... Four wins out of the last five with the Swindon defeat seeing a performance that is complete opposite of recent games

    Had Scunthorpe and Chesterfield been just as bad then Id disagree about Slade but its thanks to him for these foundations... We just needed to be braver and more attacking!!
    Or more patient

    I like a no manager bounce. Clearly the role is overrated.

    Got to feel sorry for Slade here. Lays the foundations, gets criticised for having no balls and also looks quite similar to the eunuch on game of thrones (Varys is it?)

    Then just as the team is coming together and is ready to play more attacking football, he gets fired.

    Of course two/three years wages may soften the blow.

    But I reckon he did care. Just a shame about the balls.

    You know that's exactly the kind of thinking Roland gets off on.

    Am formulating a reply to your email by the way - it looks like, touch wood, we may have an actual nucleus of more than about four players this year!!

    Slade had 20 games to play attacking football, and rarely did in any of them.

    Haha, wasn't a justification of Slade. Just trying to get a weak eunuch joke in. Sorry.

    Great to see Bauer adding to his solid defensive skills by being involved in both goals tonight.

    Great Paddy - always a challenge to keep the runs down with only a bowler, keeper and one fielder each side of the wicket!

    I hope Roly doesn't see that - visionary that he is..

    Their song is by Leadbelly, and they have a player called Leadbitter, clear proof there is a cosmic plan controlled by the Illuminati.

    Charlton on top. Comfortable I'd venture. Lots of running by the front pair. Lookman causing problems coming in from right. Foley clearly looks more comfortable at right back. Philips has made some fine saves. Bauer and the central spine also pretty solid. Suspect a bit more from Rovers, as do their fans who I'm sitting with on south stand.

    Split loyalties as I'm a Brizz local these days but my daughter is not swayed yet. Perhaps if we get a few more.

    Please tell me you are joking SLADE was a massive part of the problem

    We look pretty good, Phillips is playing well. Can't believe how many have turned up for a Tuesday, maybe the small ground makes it look better but our terrace is full

    And it's under way with us lot starting it, going left to right now, Buaer clears to Lines, Leadbitter on it, chips into Sinclair's run but Fox can clear for the stands.

    Rovers attack but we clear, and they get a throw deep.

    Lines from Leadbitter's throw... ball cleared long from Chicksen, Lockyer out for their throw and back to Roos in goal.

    Ball infield to Colkett, into Sinclair, Gaffney and Bauer clears, Brown infield to Sinclair, further forward but Lookman looks long for Ajose, Lockyer first and back to Roos. Left to Brown...
