Well played Charlton
See the second half being risky yet see Sarr on for Page at some stage which'll add some added height into the box
Both Ajose and RHF could appear yet both have been set the standard and will seriously need to do well to get in ahead of Grant and Taylor
Id be surprised if Maloney came on yet he too would need to do well if he wants to stake a place in the starting eleven with Lapslie having a pretty solid "7" at the moment1 -
Really need to step out second half and attack them. Letting them come on to us is only going to end one way. Get a second and I think that Sunderland fans will turn1

Can we hold out ?0

Haven't rated Marshall in his time here but have to say his work rate is unbelievable.5

Wonder if Pratley and Taylor will finish the game given they were both said to be not match fit earlier in the weekForeverAddickted said:Well played Charlton

Is KAG/Grant forgiven now that he’s playing well and we need him? Do the people who claimed they didn’t want him playing for the team again even if he was innocent still feel the same? Genuine questions.0

Can see Sarr coming on in midfield later on.0

Ran ourselves into the ground and that's why they started to get the better of us by the end of the first half.
The break will help a bit but I still suspect tired legs all around by 70 minutes.3 -
Thank you, did as suggested, bar staff laughed as they typed 401......as if Charlton would be a main even........Dansk_Red said:

Better team first half but, basically, it's whether we have the legs for the second half. Threadbare bench but will need to use it. In Bowyer we trust.

It depends how soon we tire imo. Can't last full 90 with that intensity!ShootersHillGuru said:Can we hold out ?

I believe Sunderland are kicking the 'wrong way' for them.
Got to withstand the early second half onslaught.1 -
Would love it if Bowyer launched into a Keegan style interview post match - “our owner may be nowhere to be seen, selling players from under me, hijacking the club - but let me tell you - we’re still fighting!!”
Obv he would get sacked so wouldn’t but would be quality!3 -
Yeh they'd be the obvious changes in about 20mins for meChris_from_Sidcup said:

Nice touch by Taylor with the JFC shirt.1

Grant Taylor Pratley Aribo - what a first half, power, energy and skill too much for Sunderland.
Darren Bent on sky as well! Great first half3 -
Really good first first half of the season. We had them pinned back for most of the first 25-30 minutes or so. We look tidy on the ball but we've also been good at getting it to the feet of our forwards, who have been giving their central defenders nightmares.
Last ten we dropped deeper and deeper and while Pearce and Bauer are good at defending in their own area, we left a lot of space on the flanks and in front of our midfield for them to exploit.
I do think we're helped by the fact that Sunderland are look to come at us, looking to attack and throw numbers forward, and generally trying to play football. It's created space for our forwards to isolate and run at their defenders. There will be harder days to come when teams sit 10 behind the ball to stop that space.
But for now I've been really impressed at our off the ball movement. In our best performances under Bowyer, namely the first 3-4, we were so good at attacking in waves and moving for each other to both get runners in the box and also to create space for others. Credit to Lapslie (in addition to the forwards) for doing a lot of unselfish running.
I fear there are harder days to come, but this is a really good start.2 -

How long have you supported charlton? You know the answer (as we all do) :-)ShootersHillGuru said:Can we hold out ?

Taylor and KAG look a handful, Pratley and Lapsie playing well, Aribo class above everyone he won’t be here for long. Page good going forward but we look a bit suspect defensively at times. Bauer caught ball watching and giving away silly fouls. Looked tired in the last 10 mins. Have a rest and go at these, the crowd will go quiet and they will make mistakes.3

We look mustard! I think I’m pissing off a table of South Africans watching the rugby at the table next to me with me jumping around!0

Currently sat on the sofa with a stinking virus, not eaten or slept for 2 days and had to pinch myself incase I was hallucinating. That first half cheered me right up.2

A fit Fosu in this side and we have a very decent and well organised first eleven. But We simply have no depth. That first half was as good an away performance as I’ve seen for a while and we should be at least a couple up. That said I will feel confident about winning the game when we are at least two up in added time because I just have a feeling that it’s all going too well. That comes from follow charlton for years I suppose. Bookings and injuries will cost us dear as the season progresses unless we get a hatful of signings this week. Having said that, three points today would be an unexpected bonus. Squeaky bum second half coming up I suspect.2

Sitting with my Sunderland friends who are very depressed. We look a handful, but need that second goal. Grant and Taylor look a dangerous combination. Pratley offers the steel we’ve been missing. Lapslie’s lively too.1

As a matter of interest, anyone know who’s representing Charlton in the board room today?1

Hmmm Sinclair. That change makes me nervous.3
