    ...considering Sky spent most of the pre-game chatting about Ipswich and how good they are, how they've won 3 in a row at home, how they're a strong team that are play off contenders etc.. then ended the game saying that "clearly Charlton are play off contenders", maybe it's time they gave us the respect we deserve and give us the same sort of attention finally!
    and what was that with that ridiculous stat when the game was only about 20 min, showing that if Charlton lose the game today it would be our first back to back aways losses on a trot since......

    Don’t know where to start on that really. Had vibes of Black Sabbath at Highbury when 3-0 up and thinking we might get a draw because of that opening 15-20 when we were seriously under the cosh. The clock also seemed to be ticking v slowly. 

    But as Leaburn and TC hit their stride (they play so well together) and Kayne turned back into a confident immovable force we just got better and better. 

    Delighted for the travelling Addicks while also being madly jealous as I wasn’t there. Tried to sync up Tel and Browny to the Sky pictures but our dodgy rural WiFi signal kept buffering so gave up and suffered the Sky commentary. By the end they had us down as world beaters. Didn’t someone on pre-match thread predict 0-3 and everyone starts to take notice? Who was that? 

    Just a word of caution (sorry, I can go a bit Oohaah at times): back in 2019 we had 21 points after 12 matches. We’d need to beat Hull to match that. Then it all went pear-shaped with Gallagher going, Covid, the 🐍 etc. So a long way to go yet. 

    In the meantime let’s enjoy the ride whatever happens!

    Result of the season? I'm struggling to think of a better result since we were in the Premier League

    That banter cup match where Toby Stevenson scored a hattrick
  • It’s weird hearing the commentators talking about us as play off contenders. Feels very unnatural

    My final word on tonight - I very much doubt that any manager looks forward to playing against us. They'll know that no team has more clean sheets than we have, that we are happy to give up possession and that there is every chance we will hit them on the counter.

    Quite outstanding result and performance. First class.
  • Have we had a better result in the last 18 years?
    Small matter of a little match at Wembley just a few months ago?

    To think that on 3rd December 2024 we trudged out of The Valley dejected after losing to Crawley, and now, in October 2025, we’re 5th in the Championship having just battered Ipswich on their own patch. What a turnaround.

    What a team.

    We know how to defend and we work so hard when we don’t have the ball. 

    We’re always in the game.

    What a change from 10 months ago! 
    This time two years ago we were 13th in League One and losing to Lincoln. One year ago our revival had petered out. We were losing faith in Nathan Jones and were on a downwards slide through to Christmas.

    I am so sorry for the fans that passed away before 2025 and didn't get to enjoy this magnificent year. 

    Seems lunacy to think we could be relegated and only a little fanciful to think we could go up.

    Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton, Bobby Davro cameo as a hostage, a good evening at the theatre in Woking.

    It wasn't until I was on the train home that I suddenly remembered that Charlton were at Ipswich and the smile on my face when I saw that result was wider than any I managed during the show tonight!

    Wow! Just wow!

    By the way, in these last 10 months that I’ve mentioned since that game at Northamptopn, our record in league format (including the play-offs) is won 26, drawn 8, lost 7.

    Some going that.

    That was like watching 2 different games of football. 1st half we were not at the races, even though we maybe should have scored a couple of goals. Ipswich were running rings round us & for the first 20 mins we hardly got out of our half.

    2nd half we played like we were the home side & again should have scored another couple more than we did. Coming forward we looked a different team & every attack looked dangerous.

    This time the subs changed the game in our favour (unlike Sat) and Leaburn & TC linked up really well. Maybe we have found the right forward pairing....but maybe after 60 mins when defenders are tiring. Leaburn won every header & TC beat his man & cut inside with purpose. And who gives a shit if the ball was over the line or not. We've been on the end of a few dodgy decisions already this season and as they say, it all evens out over the season. 

    I'm not going to get carried away & still think 16th-19th is where we will finish off this season, but as Maggie once said.......

    Just rejoice at that news.

    We will get a result tonight 
    Trust me
    although an honorable mention goes to this from @Gribbo at 9:04 when I think we'd just gone 2-0 up.
