According to some Luzon had fallen out with every Charlton player who he coached at Liege. This is clearly nonsense given the recent performances of Bulot and Watt.
Buyens is also buying into the new set up - much more positive in his play.
Every time Watt gets the ball he tries to make something happen. That piece of skill in the corner was ridiculous, proper mugged off the Forest defenders. yoni now has options to pass forward too.
Watt is, IMHO the catalyst in our upturn in form because of his attitude and work rate and long may it continue.
Overslept by an hour this morning, hitting snooze with a smile on my face every 5 minutes...because in my half-asleep state the god-awful railroad crossing alarm was just sounding "Tony Watt, Watt, Watt"

Brilliant to see it again! I mentioned in the Post Match thread that Antonio should have been sent off because the ref booked the wrong player instead of him the first time - it's clear to see here!

I'm really can't think I have seen a Charlton striker similar to him before, the closest I can say is probably a better quality version of Martin Pringle, does anyone else get that?
Direct, makes things happen, scores goals, and so far doesn't seem selfish. Squared for Igor in the first half which sadly proved to me that Igor is not the next Defoe.
Loving seeing Watt play, and hope it's not a flash in the pan. Some seemed to slag him off when we signed him, but gawd knows what they saw to come to that conclusion.
You Watt, You Watt, You Watt You Watt You Watt !
Wasn't at the game today as I'm away in America with work, but I knew there was a player I was trying to put my finger on as to who he reminded me of - and Martin Pringle is it.
Has a quick turn of pace for someone so tall, and seems to have very good control of the ball in situations where you don't expect him to be able to. Even a little bit 'jammy' in some ways, but he just has an awkward style that many defenders will struggle to keep up with.
He is not a Martin Pringle, I liked Martin Prngle, but this guy is on a different level.
Pringle! One of the most ineffective players ever, in fact the footballing equivalent of the mint choc variety. 65 games 11 goals, most of which were tap ins from an inch after someone else's shot had been spilled and he was still hanging around the goalkeeper hiding from whichever centre half was killing him that match.
That is Watt strikers do. Also didnt Pringle play in the premiership? No doubt Tony Watt will get his chance to shine at a higher level if he continues to play as he is at present.

If he scores in a winning performance at the Den and also does that in injury time, I will worship him like the sexual goalscoring monster ( @mrbligh TM) that he is.
There was a lot about him last night that reminded me of a young Wayne Rooney. No - I am not saying he is as good as him before people section me. But in the way he can seemingly effortlessly hold defenders off, roll past them and trick his way out of situations. He is also of that stock build, whilst not sacrificing all his pace.

Long may it continue!
