Celebrating in Genoa, my son celebrating in Malaysia. Well done to everybody at Wembley and well done the lads and Jones. Gillesphey a Charlton legend.
Thrilled to bits….didn’t make it over….so you can deduct Boston from the international miles….glad we are out of that shit league ! Fuck Disney FC and Brum….we didn’t spend millions to do it !!!!
Here’s to all the fans who were giving Gillesphey stick early in the season !
He deserved it at the point, but he's improved massively since. Not sure if that's cos of having Edwards outside him, or Jones back from injury, taking onboard specific coaching, or a combination of all 3.
That was a tough watch, but I think the refs equipment malfunction helped us more that Orient. They didn’t seem quite as fluent after that. Nice to see all the squad, including some U21s out on the pitch afterwards - everyone included, that’s how you build a team.
Also, all the owners seemed to be there - let’s see if they’re hooked
On Wembley Way; well fuck me, that was brutal second half, don’t think my heart rate dropped below 100 all second half. Give me sufferball all day long. See ya in Championship
I was thinking in the second half, we don't lose when we score first, but then, this is Wembley, anything can happen. The positive thought was correct.
Brilliant result, brilliant team, brilliant manager and effing superb fans. Gonna sink a few Portuguese beers tonight! And I lumped on us to get promoted at the start of the season. Happy days.
Didn't see this coming in the autumn. Remarkable transformation in the final two thirds of the season. Really pleased for the club, players and supporters after 5 years of League One mediocrity. All credit to Jones and Fleming for building a promotion team with the players they had.
We look solid in defence. Mannion reliable in goal. But serious reinforcements will be needed to avoid coming straight back to this lamentable level.
Having said that, I'd put money on Jones (and Fleming) being able to keep us in the Championship with slender resources.
I'm exhausted after watching that deserved win. Ridiculous delay for a referee's comms., should have continued to play without them. We're the only team of the three going up that didn't "buy" our promotion. Can't wait to beat Wrexham and Birmingham next season.

Might be a bit too early to start dissecting the team, but it's the midfield which is our weakest point. And even if we keep Small, we'd need 1-2 wingers, and a new striker.
I'd happily keep the defence and goalkeeper as is.

Yeah midfield would be my main concern, fine with Coventry but major doubts about Doc and Berry. Anderson will be an interesting one , would need to tidy up a lot of his game but a strong summer and he could really blossom. An attacking midfielder would be top of my list.

More soon.
We're they playing?
