Shout out to you lot. Loud and proud all game long. Had to sit on my hands throughout. What a performance, especially second half - quality across the pitch

Brilliant performance. Only slight concern is we missed a couple of extremely good chances like we did vs Forest. Earnt ourselves the penalty this week though.
First half was much more scrappy. Not sure what he did, but Bowyer tweaked something at half time then it was one way traffic. Leko’s goal was a lucky deflection but we absolutely deserved to win.
A week before the season, I thought we’d have 3 points or less from August. Instead it’s 14, unbeaten, and clear second in the table. Bowyer and Jacko are geniuses. To gel that team together, with 14 new signings, lots of whom were last minute, and to have them playing so fluently from the get go. Great stuff. Theoretically we should get better yet as well. Trying to keep my feet on the ground, but the longer it goes on the more we look like the real deal. We can play the pretty stuff but also battle away with the best of them.
13% of the season gone, 28% of the way to safety.14 -
Mentioned on the match thread about how the reading fans and that journo who was on the Charlton Life podcast this week were so confident and were building up the quality of the Reading team. I think the journo even claimed they had the best CBs in the league.
They couldnt get near us in that second half. Our defenders were better than there defenders, our midfield were better than there midfield and our strikers were better than there strikers. And importantly our coaching and management were streets ahead of there's.
The decison to swap Leko and Taylor, bringing on Chuks for Williams. The way we stopped them having any real chances.
Im fucking over the moon.20 -
If we can beat Birmingham next, the fixtures favour us to make points on a number of those around us.3

Hopefully we'll still be a point ahead of Leeds going into the final game of the season.0

Also their keeper trying to play reverse mind games with Taylor at the peno.

I’m Tom and Dick in hospital and that was just what I needed for a lift !!!! Come on you reds !
watched it - second half looked pretty assured bar two great saves. Penalty was pure Taylor. Hope he never misses one with that approach14 -
When I finally wake up from this dream it’s going to be one hell of a comedown. This isn’t actually happening right? I just want to stay asleep for now.
Thank you Lee Bowyer.2 -

Amazing, Lee Bowyer is a genius - what a manager! Robnson was useless but credit to him (i think) for bringing LB to the club.

Another well deserved 3 points. Unbeaten in August who would have thought that at the start of the month!1

It's brilliant, isn't it?Dugdaleclass said:Unbeaten and 14 points accrued in August...outstanding.
I was just looking at the results and table - and see Derby languishing in the lower bottom half.
Couldn't help but thinking, I wonder if Krystian Beilik ever wishes that he could've come back to Charlton and rejoined Lee Bowyer's 'journey'?7 -
Amazing start to the season!0

The thing is, the longer we go on getting results - and you can see that we have an immense resilience about us especially with Lockyer and Pearce at the back,, the more confidence we will get to push on . However, there is still a long,long way to go.ForeverAddickted said:

There is definitely that now, trademark, Bowyer togetherness that we could help us along the way.5 -
Conceded 5 goals in 6 games - defence has done really well!6
