  • Totally off topic to rest of the thread.

    Their No. 6, CB, (Ash Taylor) I thought was quality at times today, showed a really decent touch and pinged the ball for fun.

    Deffo worth a scout in my opinion, better than Sarr

  • I'd add Im not sure he was Ash Taylor but going by their squad numbers that's his name.
  • The weirdest thing about this is that Bow and Jacko were part of Robinson's coaching set up. Did they not have any say in the team set up before? Its such an incredible change in mentality and quality with exactly the same playing staff. Brilliant but bizarre

    Whilst they were given their jobs by Robinson, they were always Charlton men brought in to coach rather than part of Robinson’s coaching team (if that makes sense)

    Quality away day

  • Well put Fanny. How quickly football can change - we were proud of every Charlton player out there today and of Bowyer and JJ.

  • Woken up to this brilliant result. I’m well pleased for all Charlton fans, players and staff, we seem to be ‘our charlton’ again.
    My work schedule has changed so it looks like I won’t be over again this season, which I’m gutted about, I’d love to see the difference LB &JJ have made. I’d of loved to see us win at Wembley.

    On a personal level it’s been a crap away day. Firstly, there was a reason why I did not like the look of a Frankie and Bennys restaurant prior to my first visit to one outside the stadium. Decided to go continental and ordered the king prawn risotto. When it eventually arrived it was lacking somewhat in the king prawn department so asked the waiter if it was what I ordered. He took one look, said yes and then dashed off before I could say Jack Rabbit Slim. So I delved into the plate of rice and vegetables hunting for anything resembling a prawn and found, as I thought, nothing. Took it back and mentioned that I must have got the vegan option and asked them to slap a prawn or two in. When they came back with the plate I can safely say I could count the prawnage ( not king prawn as advertised I hasten to add ) on one hand. As it was getting close to the kick off I decided to make do with what I had, chowed down and head off to the game. So onto the game, we are 2 nil up and take the chance to use the facilities. Midway through my visit, silence and then a huge cheer. Bollocks, I said to myself as I proceeded to finish and head back to my seat before another goal was missed. So all in all I only saw 3 goals and got ripped off at a dodgy American style diner. Annoyed from Orpington.

    Question: Why go into a place that specialises in steaks, burgers and fries and order a risotto? A bit like going into Prezzo's and ordering fish and chips.
    Specialise is being a bit generous? I tried the chips and they were ropey. It was also thirteen quid so should have swerved it!
    Agree, these chain places are all a bit hit or miss, depends on whose doing the cooking! Overpriced usually and for average food quality. Never mind, the performance and the points must have made up for it!
  • Fantastic result and long overdue - especially for the supporters after the turgid performances of the last couple of months.

    Retain Bowyer as Manager? Definitely.
  • Good management by Lee and Jacko to sneak Reeves on in a referee's kit...

  • Only back here to check again, cause the centre forward in my dream last night couldn't score to save his life...
  • I admire your fortitude Ducktape. You are made of sterner stuff than I. These last three seasons I’ve only gone to protest games, the Keith Palmer game and the Pompey Back To The Valley game. However I am going on Monday. I believe the end is nigh and I hope that me attending isn’t going to suddenly make Roland decide to stay. I was torn whether to go or not and in the end I was weak and will be there. I hope the day when you and others can return to The Valley is not too far away.

    @Ducktapeshoerepairs
    What Large says and...
    Your absence on monday will make not a jot of difference to the impending sale of the club.
    Your presence will make the atmosphere even better for the rest of us and the team.

    Go and enjoy yourself.

  • Forgive me if lots of people have said this, but it's great to see Reeves getting good marks and reviews. I've been very sceptical about him but he does always try hard

  • Didn't do iFollow this week as I was enjoying Friday 'brunch' in the Crowne Plaza, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. All you can eat and drink, midday til 8pm, for 75 quid.

    Gutted I missed it, but boy has that result helped with the hangover this morning.
  • Just to really hit home how dominant we were...away from home!

    May have had the possession with KR tactics but without putting it to good stacking use!

    What find refreshing is that under Bowyer we seem to go out with the aim of winning 3-0. Under Robbo, we could play well, even get a goal, but then we always seemed to be too pre-occupied with protecting it and a team we looked better than, would suddenly threaten us. There might be the odd game where it backfires but not against teams who have nowhere near your ability and, with all due respect, that applies to most of them in this league.

    There was a rather stocky chap who came out for the pre match warm up with JJ who I didn't immediately recognise, doing keepy uppies etc. He then was working with the goalkeeping team putting some decent crosses in and finally with the the CBs on heading by sending high long balls into them................,And then the penny dropped, it was Grant Basey who rejoined the backroom staff at the end of February. Not sure if this was his first match day involvement for him or whether the departure of KR has meant a like for like space in the dugout. Good to see you Grant :wink: .

    He was involved in the pre-match against Plymouth. I noticed him. It is hard not to notice him!! The years have been.........err...enlarging!
