I and I think many others have had the flu this week, I wonder if that made a dent as it seems to be about at the momentAFKABartram said:Only real disappointment yesterday were the home numbers.

So good to be at The Valley yesterday.The manor of those three defeats had really deflated my confidence in all things Charlton; now batteries are recharged.Let’s hope for more of the same.I’m pleased for the fans, for the players, for the club : but most of all I’m pleased for myself & family.
When we lose I’m in a bad mood for the rest of the weekend, Mrs a.o.g doesn’t deserve that and let’s me know it.
Peace & harmony reigns - for the next two weeks at least.13 -

We make excuses all the time , the fixture list is beyond dull to the neutral / not so committed Addick
a winning team pushing for promotion later on at the end of the season may get some extra bums on seats in the home end not fabricated numbers cos we’ve given more unused tickets away .

Bielek wrote the memo but his teammates didn’t get it…it was sent to the Charlton players instead. They got it.3

Match-winner Matty Godden on Birmingham triumph (October 2024) | Charlton Athletic Football Club (charltonafc.com)
Good to get a view from a players perspective, and who better than goal scorer Matty Godden...0 -
On our goal, which Birmingham fans reckon was soft, and not much of a goal, and the ball shouldn’t have bounced I disagree.
For a start Godden positioned himself to protect the bounce and a defender would have needed very flexible and long legs to nick the ball away. For a second we have been aware that Edwards has a long throw that can now be utilised. Long throws are a pain for defences to deal with, and we exploited that, Birmingham should’ve known about it, they will face plenty of long throws in this division anyway.
For a third a 180 degree turn and finish just inside the post, whilst under some pressure is quite a skill. Godden is an experienced striker and it wasn’t luck but skill combined with a good team move that got us the goal.
Not a soft goal in the slightest. A good goal.22 -

A soft goal to concede I guess when you see a throw-in bounce inside the penalty box, but one which Godden made possible with craft and guile.
To be fair, we show this trait too. We've tired of labelling numerous goals that we've conceded as 'goal of the season contenders' (possibly approx 5+ just this season), by instead focusing on the space/gap/time left by the midfielders.
Focusing on your team's inadequacies, rather than congratulating the opposition's wizardry is pretty normal.0 -

If we had conceded a goal like that people would be going (rightly) mad about it10

Godden is a natural finisher, wonder how many goals he would have got if he was on instead of Gas and TC? Really hope he has an injury free season and hes defo got one of the striker spots, and then its a fight between the rest for who partners him...3

Hopefully Leaburn comes in as the big target man next to him. Really gutted Gas hasn't worked out so far. I had high hopes from pre season.Kinsella87 said:Godden is a natural finisher, wonder how many goals he would have got if he was on instead of Gas and TC?

I believe Coventry is banned for next game,whoever replaces him could be like a new signing10

I think Brum have been pretty poor defensively this season. Conceded a goal in nearly every league game. They usually just have so much attacking talent to overcome this.mendonca said:A soft goal to concede I guess when you see a throw-in bounce inside the penalty box, but one which Godden made possible with craft and guile.

Wonder if Taylor or Mitchell will replace CC, or whether Doherty/Campbell will take up different roles, with Berry coming back in.0

I would like to think that now that A. Campbell and Doherty did really well in their own favoured positions the logical choice would be putting Taylor in as a like for like swap for Coventry.mendonca said:Wonder if Taylor or Mitchell will replace CC, or whether Doherty/Campbell will take up different roles, with Berry coming back in.
So Jones will probably be putting Edwards in midfield and Tyreece at full back and Doherty as an actual striker because he just can't help himself sometimes....3 -
Wrexham account not impressed with the Birmingham commentary calling Saturday their first bump in the road on their way back to the Championship.

They are both in that group of clubs, that are instantly dislikeable outside of their own support base.
Wendies
Brum
Palarse
At least the Spanners are comedy value.2 -
Yea hopefully Gas can have a bit of time out of the limelight and build some confidence up. I’m sure he’ll have a role to play this season and add some value. We’ve got him on a bit of a long contract too, so hopefully he kicks onCAFCBill said:

Add Dirty Leeds to that list. Hilarious for all other supporters to see their keeper spilling one in the dying seconds last week.soapy_jones said:They are both in that group of clubs, that are instantly dislikeable outside of their own support base.

I'm glad you told us @HardyAddick because I hadn't clicked and I assumed one of them was you! Seems so obvious now with hindsight.HardyAddick said:With Fish and Bartlett
I would say though that although Bartlett is looking as fresh as a daisy, that shot of Mark Feeesh is looks like something that belongs on the things that make you feel old thread.

REG could be another option. I do think it should be like for like and keep everyone else in their roles that worked so well on Saturdaythenewbie said:

An excellent finish, but the defending of the long throw was JUST like us last season, not dealing with the long throw, and then being second to the ball after it bounced.shirty5 said:If we had conceded a goal like that people would be going (rightly) mad about it5 -

Anyone spot the mistake in the editing of the video?Callumcafc said:
At about 5m15, they show Mannion punching the ball away and then cut to Nathan Jones standing in front of the dugout looking a bit concerned. But that shot's clearly taken from later on in the game, because Daniel Kanu and Josh Edwards are both sitting behind him in the dugout. I might not have noticed, but literally the next bit of action they showed after the replay was Kanu going down in front of the Covered End in the process of winning a throw, and then Josh Edwards taking it long for Godden to score.

When was the last time we scored on a long throw? I can’t think of a single one before this past weekend2
