Green absolutely. Top man. JJ went over the ball with another of ours (I forget who) and landed on the wooden ledge at the side of the pitch - happily he walked off.
Not a good performance, should have been 1 or 2 down at half time. However Brentford are no mugs and the fact that we can beat them while on the back foot all game shows how good we are. nearly had a heart attack during the 10 MINUTES of added time but I'm so pleased that we held on. The noise on the bottom tier was phenomenal as well!
didn't really do much. Think he only touched the ball a few time, miskicked what could have been a great ball to bwp, so potential there but not really match fit and sharp.
Interesting to see a Brentford fan has commented on Charlton fans lobbing coins and bottles at the Brentford fans at the station?Any Addicks witness this happening?
Standards dropped considerably today, should have stuffed this pub team 4-0

No seriously this was a tough tough match , can't believe how many balls were launched at our defence, but they stood strong and took all that was thrown at them, not a great 1st half from a Cafc perspective, but we dug in and nicked it , stand out performances for me were MIchael Morrison and Danny Green they were outstanding! What was Morro doing when he went past 3 men with ball ! Rio in disguise! There was one point in the 1st half in the 1st half when he was playing right wing!
Danny Green was the real deal today , a class act.
At the start of the month I would have been happy with 4 points from Preston, Brentford and Huddersfield, so to have 6 points going into the Huddersfield game is exceptional, I know the Huddersfield game is on Sky but I do hope Charlton fans do turn up in number for our biggest game of the season so far.
Hope Jacko is ok, we would miss him big time if he's out injured, not convinced of Ephram, but keep it in perspective it was only a cameo, I don't know how much football he's played this season.
All in all a cracking result , well done lads! Great to finally see a win at Brentford! Roll on Huddersfield!
Just got back, absolutely delighted with the result. First half we were poor with Hughes was having a nightmare. They probaly should have scored (the one that hit the post). Second half we were better, quality ball from Green for the goal. We withstood the pressure and in some ways rode our luck. Couldn't bare the 10 mins of added time but thankfully held out!
Support was class, quite funny at the train station afterwards. Great away win, COYR!

They throw a couple of coins at us but wasn't aware we threw any back. It was all a bit of banter really (the chants).
We won ugly today. Should have been one down at half time but their No 9 missed an easy header. Apart from dominating for quarter of an hour before half time we battled rather than passed the ball around. Hamer was steady and Kermo worked his socks off. Their fans hated our time wasting and we did over do it. Wiggins unnecessarily booked for fannying around at a throw in. Llera did not look too vulnerable but some of his passes were dodgy. Hard to say who our star man was. probably the centre halves but Hollands had a good game and BWP was in the right spot. Our fans sounded loud from the half-way line. 'Top of the League' and 'Valley Floyd Road' sounded great.
Hogan was disappointing. Maybe not match fit but this was not a game for fancy foot-work. Waggy caused them more trouble with his speed when he came on.

Yep - around 5.20, London bound pulled in and it started, probably about a dozen or so. Was waiting with Bees fans to get home to Sunbury with my little ' uns. My ten year old got hit on leg (even after I tried to get them to shelter away) by half full plastic bottle - what sort of dicks are they. Brentford fans were fine with us on the train after.
Brilliant result. Not the greatest performance but we learn't even more of the mental strength of the team. 10+ minutes of stoppage time left me emptying my bowels behind the goal, but the defence were nerveless.
By the way, has a goal been celebrated so much this season? It was pretty mental went Kermy scored at Bramall lane, but that was within the boundaries of your seat. Today i was all over the place, never have i experienced so much man-contact

was incredibly jealous being stuck at the other side of the stadium with die hard brentford supporters seeing everyone going absolutely mental at the other end when we scored.
Very hard won victory. I was with a pal and after about 15 minutes of the first half we both agreed that one goal either way would seal it...........and so it proved.
We defended well again when the need arose and despite plenty of effort they just couldn't create what I'd call a really clear chance.
We won because we are top of the league and that's what happens when you're top.........you win these close fought games oneway or another and on a reasuringly regular basis.
Danny Green had his best game for us today by the way, which is something something you'll no doubt be pleased to hear.

Was getting on that train to London and as it pulled in a fair few coins, bottles and lighters headed over the top of the train towards us.
When we got to the station there were a mob of teenage Brentford fans really giving it. A few of our older faces looked ready to kick off but didnt. 50/50 with the bottle and coin throwing. They were heading in both directions. Moved down the platform and then had a beer can lobbed at us. All the Brentford lot looked very very young. It did kick off near Kew Bridge apparently. Two blokes opposite me on the train to New Eltham were talking about it. One had pretty torn up knuckles and his hand was covered in blood.
Looked like something happened in the main stand as well. Just after Jackson went off.
Not surprised. There were a lot of faces who I havent seen for years there today.
We have had to play Sheff Utd, MK Dons, Notts County and Brentfford away - that leaves only 2 or 3 really tough tests on the road. (10 points from those games too!) Happy days.

Didn't realise that - my 11 year old reckons Brentford started throwing stuff when the train pulled in.
was at the game Brentford gave us a good game could have been ahead at half time, but we hung in there and grabbed our chance, this is what the best teams do, win even when they dont play at their best. UTA

It's past 8pm, 3 hours after the match finished, and all you can read about the game is the pre-match line up.
