    What an end to the game! I’m not sure how to best articulate it, but this team is what I’d call “proper Charlton”. Leaders and fighters all over the pitch, giving it everything for 90+ minutes. 

    We will still need a bit of luck with injuries and suspensions, but we’re the second best team in the league right now and the play-offs are well and truly in our hands.

    What a win! Fuck all you moany lot on the match thread. Depressing and some of you are just happy whinging! Keep faith with these boys!
    Great come on here moaning about the moaners, rather than a miraculous win…… 
    Some on here are too busy and quick to moan, had faith all through that game with a good positive performance. 3 points are

    What's the new song to the tune of Sway? 

    I heard "Tyreece Campbell running down the wing, scoring goals, make the Charlton sing" but what's the first part?

    I’m refusing to rule out 2nd place at the moment. No reason we can’t make up 8 points on a very average Wycombe team 
    Agree. We have been outplayed only twice, by Rotherham and Birmingham, in the last 16 games. Injuries permitting there is no reason we cannot keep on winning. We have made up 11 points on Wycombe since Christmas.

    When summer rhythms start to play,
    Dance with me, make me sway,
    Tyreece Campbell running down the wing,
    scoring goals,
    makes the Charlton sing.

    Talking of TC, he pulled up near the end and was holding his hamstring.  We scored after and he did a bit of a knee slide in the celebrations so hopefully he is ok.

    I haven't read all of this, but what got me today was seeing the team not being simply relieved to equalise, but wanting still, so late in the game, to go after the win. It was palpable.

    mind you how unhappy would we be if we had chucked it away after just equalising. Since the momentum, and our fitness, was to our advantage, and we were confident of the win, Im very glad we were so positive.

    Watched on Charlton TV, as the saying goes, its never over till the fat lady sings!
    Could well be one of those season defining games.
    Just had a quick scoot through the last half a dozen or so pages from the match thread, nearly as entertaining as the last few minutes of the actual game!

    The man’s deluded. On various bits and bobs of highlights I’ve seen it’s us who have missed the best chances, Berry’s header in the first half where he heads it to the keeper on the floor when he has the rest of the goal to put it in and then Ramsay in the second half where he heads it over with an open goal in front of him.

    Watched that a number of times, don’t see that as a foul by Godden at all.

    Love it. Jones and Docherty giving it to the home fans followed by TC who then takes a tumble when walking backwards.

    “When the samba rhythm starts to play” is the correct first line - from the horses mouth.

    i also noticed TC holding his thigh and chatting to the physio after the final whistle- do hope nothing serious but would expect he’ll miss Tuesday.

    Thought Charlton's two wide players the number 7 and the 25 (who was a huge unit) looked really decent. The keeper looked good too. But the rest of them I thought were very poor. They are just a real hoofball team full of huge physical players - a bit like watching Wimbledon in the late 70s. And the celebrations at the end were absolutely nauseating. You'd have thought they had won the F A Cup and the Champions league rolled into one instead of a match between two teams who were 8th and 9th in League One.

    The scenes in that away end after both goals were absolutely biblical. The sort of carnage we haven’t had the pleasure of enjoying in quite a while.

    So glad I was there today. One of those aways that make it all worthwhile.
    One of those you never forget and grow bigger over time.
    Dominated the first half and should have gone in with the lead. Frustratingly inept with our final ball at times, wrong choices and sometimes we just didn't get the rub of the green.
    But we restricted them to virtually nothing.
    They came out second half like they meant business. They have some real quality going forward.
    The control, composure and strike for their goal was impressive.
    We were labouring for a while and the subs Nathan made were a punt to rescue something.
    In games like this, as we approach the end of normal time, the times I have turned to my son and said this ain't happening.
    It's sound easy to say now, but I just sensed today that we could pull something off. It wasn't just me, my son said as much while I was thinking it. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot more felt the same.
    There is a resilience about us. A drive. A belief. A momentum.
    The smiles on the players faces as they rushed to celebrate with us at the end.
    What a contrast to earlier in the season.
    This is fcuking happening.

    Just to add, Alex Gilbert's corner delivery is a thing of beauty.
    A beautifully curved inswinger that fools the goalkeeper into leaving until that deadly curve at the end brings it into the far side of the six yard box.
    When we are not royally fucking them up or hitting the first man, we do sometimes hit it beyond the far post, but usually on a straight trajectory or a ballooned hit for the likes of Jonesy to head back into the danger area.
    Gilbert has now got 3 assists from his corners. A proper potent weapon.
    Edit: Inswinger of course, not outswinger

    It was brilliant especially after we thought we had scored twice previoudsly.

    One aspect I'll disagree with, from the Post-Match comments is the subs that people are praising Jones for.

    Apart from Gilbert and maybe Docherty, I thought they were the type you make when you're desperate and just go for it - Taking Edwards, and especially Coventry off messed up with our shape a bit, and barely noticed Aneke / Leaburn
    Yeah i agree. Jones does deserve a lot of credit for the way he's turned our season around, but i'm not sure we can give him too much credit for going for it late on when we're 1-0 down. Any manager in the world does that surely?
