Away tie against Maidstone in the next round please... Didnt go yet from the BBC pictures it didnt look as though the players got out of 2nd gear and could have upped their performance if needed
Still dont know why Jackson started as he and a few looked a bit like they were ball watching ahead of their goal.
Credit to Truro as going by reports it could have been 4-0 within 10mins; God knows why they tactically started without a man up front though, seemed as though they let the occasion get to them and then woke up1 -
JFC's personal struggle with their goalmouth was both hilarious and absorbing. Movie of the week IMO3
-
I realize that they conceded a goal, but other wise I don't think there's any more they could do. They won the game, move on to the next.3

My feelings about this are the same as my feelings about when England beat a poor team in qualifying--you can't really read much into it because you can't get any positive marks against teams much worse than you, only negative ones and thus it's always a hiding to nothing.
Hopefully no injuries or knocks. I suppose with two weeks until the next league game it's a good run out for the lads. Job done, we move on4 -
If Dodoo and KAG can’t score against Truro should we be playing one of the youngsters instead next time ?5

Would have loved to have been there today but things beyond my control stopped me.......Roland hasn't sold the club yet.9

The poor way Amos tried to stop the header I like to think it was a nice gesture from us to reward their efforts and send their fans home with something.Horsfield9 said:I realize that they conceded a goal, but other wise I don't think there's any more they could do.

Less than 4,000 home fans - 22,000 empty seats. Be thankful we are making a fist of it in the league or this might have been nearer the actually attendances for League fixtures (season tickets minus absentees). Let's hope we are drawn away in the second round.0

Truro Under 21s away in the next round, perhaps.0

Once again it's the attacking midfielders who get the goals, between Holmes, Fosu, and Reeves, with Marshall and Clarke also contributing, we are so potent there.
A shame Dodoo didn't score, as we do need him to also offer a goal threat until we can strengthen in January

Firstly well done to truro and their fans.. Top class those i spoke to. Gave us a fright for10 mins after they scored But today we showed our deficiency in front of goal. Top striker is needed... Dodoo is pants.2
-
At least KAG stretched them and looks threatening , even if his end product is still poor. Dodoo offers absolutely nothing; I wouldn't use him again rotate 4 of our 5 good attacking players in the front 4 positions2

Flat atmosphere with the only singing from them.
Never felt we'd lose after we scored and we should have scored a lot more.
Amos had a lot of shots to collect but few real saves.
Shows what a difference Magennis makes leading the line.
Well done Truro for having a go but we cruised it.
Nice local away trip please next round7 -
PWR.
Considering the entire world would have preferred a Truro win I am satisfied with the outcome and look forward to Gateshead away in the next round.
To be honest the main interest in the game for me was with regard to Truro and their big day, and they acquitted themselves very well.
We were never in much danger of losing, but they were well organised and had good support and a decent attitude. The Truro goalkeeper, and the big hairy goalscoring bloke up top played well. They scored and hit the woodwork (their keeper made a good save onto the woodwork first half) and had a number of on target efforts.
The players and crowd especially struggled to rouse themselves, and in a game where we had nothing to win, we won and it was a job done.
There isn't much of the not previously known to take away from this afternoon, beyond realising that Ben Reeves disguises a pass well.
The actual result is the significant factor, and we can all crowd round our telly's tomorrow with some interest in proceedings.2 - Sponsored links:

Brilliant accent on the Cornish commentator. He says Charlton like I've never heard it said before.ross1 said:0 -
' Er indoors saw them switch to The Valley when the game finished and asked me why Jackson was wearing a back bra?
I was out of the room so missed it but can only assume that 'Jackson's bra' is some sort of pro zone monitoring vest or equivalent.
Am I right or is the Skipper in transition?2 -
As I said on another thread, we wanted to win and give Reeves and Marshall some more game time. Job done1
-
It was sweet to see their captain walk on with his little kid, and it was classy that so many of our fans that were there remained to applaud Truro off at the end.5

We played within ourselves and perhaps the early goal induced a little complacency, which was kind of understandable, given the amount of room they afforded us in the very early stages (despite having 11 men behind the ball for most of the time). Truro came back into it as the half wore on and had two decent efforts on goal - a header saved by Amos and a shot cleared off the line by Solly.
Marshall’s very fortunate goal looked as if it had settled matters but, to Truro’s great credit, they pushed forward with two up top and a good header got them back into it. Fortunately for us, Reeves fizzed in his second of the match 10 minutes later to restore the two goal margin and see us safely through, despite some scares in our area late on.
From a Charlton perspective, we were on a hiding to nothing and, despite a slightly rocky defensive performance and a lack of clinical play in the final third, we achieved our primary objective, which was to avoid embarrassment and get into the hat for tomorrow night’s draw. It also looked as if we avoided any significant injuries and, whilst it would have been pleasing to turn in a stellar performance, two out of three’s not bad.
I thought that Da Silva, Reeves and JFC were our best players on the day.
I thought that Truro City did themselves proud and executed a very sensible game plan by not trying to chase us down and press in the early stages. Instead, they maintained a good shape, concentrated on getting men behind the ball and staying in the game and then had a real go in the second half, playing some nice football in the process. A very good turnout from their fans as well, given the 2pm kick off on a Sunday. Good luck to them for the rest of the season.10 -

Amos was lucky not to get two yellows for time wasting.0
