in General Charlton
After a tentative first half, Charlton came out rampant in the second extending quickly to a two nil lead. The third came not too long after. With the introduction of Chuks we went on the front foot. Albie Morgan looked very mobile, linking the midfield to the forward line effectively. Millar came into his own, pressing forward on the wing. Stockley scored with a terrific volley from cracking team play. Big Inniss found an opening at the back post. And Chuks bullied his way through their back line to put the final nail in their coffin. A shame not to keep the clean sheet, but they were a spent force by then and couldn’t muster much more.

We matched them in the first half, even as they looked a little more composed and confident. In fact, they had a gilt-edge chance to go ahead, which they failed to make count. But in the second, we closed them down and harassed them in such a way as to shake that confidence.

Three points and we live to fight again.

Over to you.

    Charlton Athletic Football Club, the masters of false hope.

    To little to late. 
    A good result but our recent dropped points have beaten us. 
    Shame but that's how it is

    Bloody hell!

    A home win ... who'd have thought that possible?

    Aneke - what a huge difference he makes

    Played pretty well first half but toothless in attack. Second half, a huge improvement.

    Key differences:

    - Playing  two strikers instead of Stockley having to do it all on his own.

    - Maatsen playing left back rather than totally out of his depth on the right wing.

    - Albie Morgan bringing much needed energy, mobility and passing range to the team.

    Learn those lessons, go for the jugular against Hull and hope that Portsmouth or Oxford slip up on the final day. Against all the odds we’re still in with a shout.

    Only realistic way play-offs happen now is a CAFC win while Pompey / Oxford both fail to win.

    A draw could be enough with a combination of more unrealistic results.

    First half summed up our home play this season. Lovely to see us turn it on in second half.

    What has been the worst injury time punch in the gut this season? 🤔

    He just needs to stop getting idiotic bookings and then following up the bookings with idiotic fouls.

    Idiot.

    Great to win but incredibly frustrating to be in this scenario. That Crewe game and Oxford penalty miss will live long in the memory like Birmingham last season 
    And Pompey could argue they would be home and dry if they didn’t concede the 96th minute equaliser at Accrington last week. It’s all relative!

    That'll do. Another tenner on Saturday, hope they can keep it up.

    Well done to everybody. An excellent game. I feel it's too little for the play-offs. The lads have struggled going into recent games with them being do or die games. 

    Jayden speaks well and as if he is one of ours. I'm surprised how much flak he has received from our fans of late. Look at him in the box with a forward partner.

    "Belief is his body"
    "More confidence in himself"

    Those were his words on Aneke, just so we all now know. Probably likely why he gets red mist in frustration too.

    Stockley with a strike partner I'll take next season now.

    Would sign him in a heartbeat now even if you play him as a lone striker

    You just need both wide men and someone like Gilbey to play a lot closer to him

     I'd be pleased with rotating Chuks and Washington.

    Lovely Fella Stockley. I would like to see a quick good finisher forward playing off him.

    Stockley you can see cares. He may be a loan but you can see it in him. I know alot of people on here knock him but I would love to sign him permanently

    Harsh to pick on one moment in a season full of so many individual errors that have cost us points but that penalty miss v Oxford seems so key now, would be all in our hands.  Oh well, roll on to Hull and hope.  Excellent performance tonight.  

    Really hope we find a way to keep Chuks, he is just such a good player at this level and no way we get 4 better strikers.  Even if he only plays half our games he brings so much.

    Will the Hull manager want revenge for us knocking Doncaster out the other year i wonder?
