Very good results after being under pressure to most of the game by the sounds of it. Required after most of our rivals won (bar Barnsley) - Luton are scoring for fun at the moment
How many times have we seen us dominate teams only to be caught by a sucker punch. It was own turn to pick a pocket or two tonight. Not pretty to watch but ultimately worth the €6

The moral of that story is you win by scoring more goals - we were shite.. honestly think Ajose deserves a spot on the wing the way some of the others are playing
Some very poor individual performances tonight but we still take home 3 points. Also some good individual performances Steer, Baur, Pearce and Sarr in particular.
Really poor for most of the game and created virtually nothing. Our defence was excellent, Steer in particular. The midfield without Cullen looks poor, although Ward is a real asset.
Watched on I_Follow and all I can say is that is one of the most ridiculous results I have seen in over 50 years of watching Charlton!
Outplayed all night. Beaten to the second ball continually and so much room for the Burton wingers all night that they could knock in cross after cross.
Huge shout-out to Jason Pearce. Absolutely rock like all night, scarcely missing a header. All the other defenders not far behind. And a great performance to from Steer which must surely end all dispute about who is our Number 1 goalkeeper.
If this luck continues, this season is going to end well.
I missed loads of the game cooking and helping my gf with an application so I'll make some points about the players here instead:
Referee: seemed to do pretty well, although their penalty was apparently dubious?
Steer: indisputably the number 1 at this point Solly: not good from him I thought, constantly letting his man inside, didn't seem right Bauer: solid Pearce: solid and DEADLY! Sarr: seemed to be doing well, gutted I missed The Tackle, hoping it gets gif'd on here later Lapslie: I mean the Spongefoot accusation is probably unfair as he's still very young, but I have noticed that his finishing often lacks conviction. Still, not a bad main problem for a CM to have, and he brought the energy Bielik: shouldn't play alongside Lapslie, doesn't have the natural movements or instincts of a CM even if he has the technical ability and physical aptitude Aribo: seemed fairly anonymous, usually the link man in our breaks - we didn't break much Fosu: one of his 'not a footballer' days Taylor: one of his 'not our best footballer' days Grant: our best outlet and did well, although too frequently offside
Ward: nippy Marshall: hilariously bad Dijksteel: lanky
Watched on iFollow. Did we even touch the ball in the first 10 minutes!? They had 57% possession and 16 corners to our 2! But for all that possession they really weren't that effective. Their corners were terrible but Ward's for the goal was excellent. Thought both Solly and the Nabster had great games. Bielik OK and George ran his socks off again. Fosu tried hard and Aribo did some good defending as well as attacking. Front two didn't get too much service... but we won and go home with all 3 points so, in the end, all good.
Comments
Charlton will come good.
Edit
(Taylor has also equalled Fosu's second place achieved across 39 games)
Watched on iplayer , pretty dull affair , we didn't really get going, Steer made a few important stops
Massive 3 points
eieieio
How we won that I don’t give two hoots we did 3 points in the bag and get away
Big shout out to the fans tonight didn’t stop singing and supported through out
To tell the truth I really enjoyed that
We are great under the cosh. Bowyer sets a team up in his own image. Work harder.
Just need to learn to dominate teams we outclass technically .
Roland's first promotion (Belgium does not count, it matters not) on the day he snuffs it. Karma police
Whatever, Pearcey seems to be enjoying himself ...
Burton is the sort of place aspirants for promotion win at.
Still early days but hope is stirring
Top mark to everyone who went.
Onwards and upwards..
FUCK OFF palarse.
