    Loose pass from Brum, Berry picks it up and his shot on the deck squeaks just wide.

    Not quite clicked for him but liking the look of Berry. Not afraid to shoot which I like

    Stick Berry further forward and push Kanu and Campbell wider. 
  • Very smart from Berry to read and intercept that pass ahead of his shot just wide.

    Preferring him in that advanced role to Anderson at the moment.

    Is this the Birmingham that are winning the league?!

    They've looked awful so far 
    I think it does show why Jones likes the press and arguably it actually looks better/more effective against teams like Birmingham who want to try and play a bit but can't get momentum or rhythm going.
  • Berry’s had more shots in the first 25 minutes of this game than our whole midfield last year ha ha.

    Brum come down our right, shot is blocked comes back to Campbell who gets fouled and their Anderson gets booked.

    Small pressing their right back and wins a corner off of it

    I'm going to say this very quietly, but so far been very happy with the referees in our first two games
  • Ref seems quite wise to gamesmanship

    Ball pumped forward by us down the left, Small nudges the defender, and the ball goes out off him for our corner :)

    Berry sends the corner deep, it goes off a defender for another corner. That's taken short and their keeper palms it away and the ref blows up for something or other

    Didn't realise cup football was a non contact sport
  • Although not sure how the referee has given a FK for a foul on their Goalkeeper, Campbell was rightfully just standing his ground.

    Good passing forces another corner for Charlton

    Another loose pass from Brum, intercepted by Coventry I think? Kanu and REG pass it about, Anderson's cross is blocked for our corner. Small to take from the right.
  • The Valley could well be a fortress this year... Once again though feels like our season will mainly hinge on how we do against those teams who are happy to sit back against us.

    Is this the American tipped for the top?

    Corner cleared wide, Small crosses in again, Charlton fans call for a pen, and now Brum come forward.

    I don't think I've ever been more sure of anything than I was that TC would miss that penalty. Felt like bravado stepping up but should have been Kanu. I don't like it when crap penalty takers insist on taking them. We're playing quite well though, more aggressive and good off the ball movement. Coventry looks completely in control of the midfield which is nice to see.

    Just as I say this they score. Wonder if Mannion should have kept that out.

    That’s a screamer
