    Been very impressed with a few players but Ajose has stood out for me. Quick, first time passes and very unselfish at times. Brilliant volley at the end of the half to test the keeper. Good link up with him and Zyro.

    Who's this 'Reeves' that Bowyer has found? Much better than the one KR bought in

    Wow, what a half!! Energy, composure, spirit etc; that's as good as I've seen for ages (ok, that's not too difficult!).

    Ref is having a mare and I'm convinced he'll show a red. How the keeper wasn't booked for the handball I don't know? I clearly don't understand the rules I guess.

    Only concern for me is Reeves once again. His decision making and distribution was, in the main, really poor that half.

    They look a decent outfit to be fair and I think they will score. There's more goals in us though.

    43' Reeves is yellow carded for a trip on Moses Makasi. 2-0. #cafc

    Has he got his shorts dirty yet ?
    He's been playing well just a bit of extra oomf needed on some passes
    He's probably been the weakest player yet thats more because everyone is playing so well

    I didn't think we had that many shots on target in the last five games put together.

    Please please please, let me be as happy at the end of the game (nearly said 90 minutes), as I am now :smiley:

    Interpreting what's going on during the interval, could be that Ainsworth and Fletcher will see action early in the second half.

    Half time thoughts:

    - who are these guys and what have they done with the real Charlton
    - Reeves I always had faith but how has this transformation happened so quickly?!
    - 2 men up front YES PLEASE
    - Passion definitely there
    - everyone is playing well
    - Fosu has license to roam and though he's not quite shown it yet, this I think will turn out to be devastating
    - COME ON YOU REDS

    Great first half, much improved on the last few games (watching the stream).

    Not a straightforward 4-4-2, looks more of a diamond. Don't seem to have set positions, both Aribo and Reeves have appeared on the right.

    Far more energy, commitment and aggression out there today. Players look positive and up for it. We can play it short or go more direct. A higher tempo. Two up front. Not afraid to go for a long ball through the middle to try to get in behind, something we didn't like to do under Robinson.

    Long way to go but it's what I hoped for. Keep it up.

    I'll go for Bauer as the Red Card... Getting penalised jumping for a header was mental

    The story of the first half...

    A fantastic first 45 sees Page's belter and Zyro's header put the Addicks in the driving seat. #cafc

    Well, well, well! Who could have foreseen a performance like that this time last week?

    Quick passing, lots of movement, our front two of Zyro and Ajose looking dangerous.

    Plymouth have had a couple of good efforts at goal, Amos making a good save to turn a shot onto the post, but we've had chances to extend our lead further.

    Nine shots in the first half, six on target ... stats that were unheard of under the previous manager.

    The danger for me is their main man in midfield, John Busby. He's easy to spot: he doesn't have a number on his back, wears a different colour shirt, and keeps blowing a whistle. Absolute tool, he's reffing as though he's the bastad spawn of Stroud and Kettle. If we finish this game with eleven players on the pitch I'l be surprised.

    Great strike on the volley by Ajose, good save.

    Great first half by Ajose a couple of very very good runs.

    I'd put him ahead of Dijksteel at the moment, purely because Dijksteel is giving away a few fouls, still a solid 7 so far.
  • Pace has been unrelenting. Should slow down second half and a few gaps open up. Zyro and Ajose look really sharp. Some great crosses going in from the right and Lewis Page looks a real left back with not a bad strike on him!

    Their manager came straight out of the tunnel and messed with the sacred 5 cones. Absolute scumbag

    Free Kick
    Once the referee decides that the goalie has illegally handled the ball outside the box, the whistle blows and play stops. The referee places the ball at the spot of the infraction. When play resumes, the opposing team receives a direct free kick at the goal.

    Discipline
    A goalie who commits a violation outside the box typically will only risk receiving a card or being sent off the pitch if the handling was clearly committed to prevent an impending goal from going into the net.

    47' Close! Reeves tries to pick out Aribo at the back post, the latter stretches but just cannot reach it. 2-0. #cafc
