POST-MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic v Wycombe Wanderers: Sunday 29th December 2024: KO 12:30pm

I like the look of Kone worth a cheeky high bid... With Ahadme as a swap on top.

Great performance, very enjoyable match and good atmosphere in the ground. Everyone worked their socks off, Lloyd Jones is immense and Miles Leaburn take a bow, he terrorised their back 4. Nathan Jones well done but stop being so touchy, fans are the same everywhere. Pitch was awful though, ball bobbling all over the place.

Terrific patient team performance and two great goals by leaburn. How some people want him to leave is beyond me.

Can't remember the last time we won two home games back to back. And typical couldn't make either due to transport and work commitments but managed to watch on a stream.

Keep it going 7th now. 

I don't know where you seen anyone wanting Leaburn to leave because I haven't.
I've only read/heard the complete opposite.

@Chippycafc is correct on this one. More than one poster here, especially in post match threads after games where he was struggling.  And plenty of others  asserting  that his departure during this window is all but inevitable.

Those are two very different things to be fair. Actively wanting him out is absurd, but being concerned he's going to be sold as a quick money making exercise is more understandable.

Hopefully he goes nowhere but this still Charlton and nothing can ever be fully ruled out.

Haven’t read this thread. But what a nasty, horrible little team they are. They targeted Miles early on and he got no protection from the ref. Their number 2 was a disgrace, always in the refs ear, constantly moaning, fouling etc. Their number 3 was the worst, he nearly snapped Miles’ wrist (well that’s what it looked like from the north lower). Horrible team who got everything they deserved today. We stood up well to them, didn’t allow their bullying tactics to work. Although miles did go after that no. 3 after the incident and got a yellow!

How Grimmer (number 2) didn't get booked, I have no idea.  Whiny, horrible shit.

I thought we looked good after scoring the 2nd and the confidence was up.  Wycombe had run out of ideas.

Two well taken goals from Leaburn, and 3 wins in a row is commendable 

But, I thought we were out of the game for the first 35 minutes with Wycombe looking much more like efficient with the ball and the signs were there that we could concede 

I still think this bunch of players aren’t up to it, and this is the first time winning 3 on the bounce since the opening 3 games, we’ve had these mini false dawns before.

time will tell, but I still can’t see past a mid table finish 

In that first 35 mins Berry should have scored at least one, possibly 2 and TC I thought should have played in Leaburn or beaten the last defender rather than shooting poorly from range.  Wycombe offered nothing at all.

Credit where it is due to Jones and the players. They’re turning round a pretty bleak period and it was great to see them all celebrating together when we scored. It did feel to me like Jones was losing the dressing room so happy to see o was maybe wrong about that.

Just one thing re Jones. I get that he wants to protect the team publicly and feels he is the right person for this job. Hopefully that will prove to be the case but some of his comments regarding the fans- ‘vilified’, ‘catastrophic’ need tempering. The fan base was perfectly within its rights to question tactics, effort and results which went against us before Christmas. I don’t think he should be creating a ‘them and us’ culture by using hyperbole. 

Jones is without doubt cranky but then so is Mourinho.

Lloyd Jones is the biggest difference to the team and our change in results (more than Leaburn) it feels to me. 

Agreed, he commands that back line better than anyone. Maynard Brewer never shouts at them.

Comments about the awful pitch. What’s the problem?

It looks terrible doesn’t it. 

We paid a fortune for that not to happen? 

Is it extra wear from the women's games perhaps?

Yep. The high heels churn the pitch right up. Lol

What a piss poor pitch. I thought it was meant to be a state of the art pitch with this new stitch together grass. I know the ladies play on it as well but it shouldn’t look like that 5 months in. It’s only going to get worse. As for the game what a great battling display  by everyone. That’s how we should try and play every week. I’m not sure we will be able to hang on to Lloyd Jones as his contract is up in June and today's opponents are looking to sign him. If they don’t offer him a decent contract he will be gone and we will be playing catch up in the transfer market. But you know what this board of directors are like. But well done Charlton let’s enjoy the moment. 

Fantastic result and fully deserved,every player from front to back played their part today. Could and should have won by more. A word for the ref, up until their number 3 trying to break Leaburns arm(how did the lino not see it??),he was having a reasonable game,letting it flow but then he just lost it,one bad decision after another culminating on awarding that free kick after Jones made the cleanest tackle you'll ever see,he now goes in the 'Dogshit ref' box. Pitch was appalling and so was Wycombes whinging,also their constant little digs on our players that the ref kept missing,horrible side.

I like the first bit...but the second part could kill the deal.🤦‍♂️

I thought they were a dirty side too. It is a positive we can stand up to these sorts of teams.

And the assistants are also appalling.

Was thinking of going today but I did my back in a couple of days ago so gave it a miss.  Serves me right for being a wuss.  Hopefully this will continue for the Crawley game and I can enjoy being in attendance for a win for the first time since Birmingham. 

Also some of their lot seem to have let their high position go to their head.  Don't think I've ever read such crap about why they lost from any other team.

I've seen a lot worse on here when we have lost. Lots of comments that we deserved to win.  Also agree with them that our pitch is awful in the modern day game.

During the game their response to "Top of the league, your having a laugh" being "Premier League and you fucked it up"" was laughable, presumably the next verse would be " FA Cup winners and you fucked it up".

Changed the game completely. He looks a real player. Shame we didn't notice him before they did, as he's exactly what we need up top to compliment what we have. 

Carries on the way he is, and he is destined for the championship, minimum. 

Also thought Caleb Taylor was really good for them today who I think we were linked with before? Those two stood out for me.
