Don't want to worry anyone but have been watching the "strikers" go through their shooting paces (Taylor, Grant, Fosu, Beliek, Morgan & Sarpong). 18 shots & only 2 went in. Of the other 16, 14 were either high or wide. Absolutely shocking.

Also no Ajose in that group.....make of that what you will.

Golfie strikes again.

8' Morgan crosses for Taylor who gets wiped out by Fitzwater in the box.
The big number nine steps up and sends the keeper the wrong way and into the top left-hand corner.

WHAT A BLOODY START!

Fortune 82nd Minute

Blimey, a bit late tuning in and find we are 2-0 up. Might make a habit of this.

14' Dijksteel does well to win the Addicks another corner.

I've missed two games with arthritic flare ups both of which ended 2-0 to us. Here's hoping for a third today.

Done my bit by missing the game.

Up to the rest of you now.

14' Corner routine sees the ball delivered to Fosu on the edge of the box, but his first-time shot is blocked.

Good, a referee who actually has one eye on the oppo centre backs and their treatment of Taylor.

Free kick awarded for a pull on Lyle about 40 yards off the ball.

ross1

15' Taylor wins a free-kick 22 yards from goal. Reeves to take...

Reeves free kick just curled wide!

Reeves...just round the wrong side of the post

ozaddick

What a cracking start!

ross1

16' SO CLOSE! Reeves hits a superb effort which shaves the right-hand upright. Inches away.

Best we’ve played all season so far.
Very dynamic side with Reeves and Bielik running the game.

Briston_Addick

We're running rings around Walsall at the moment and Fossy's made a good start.

However ... he needs to realise he has team-mates, often in a good position, and he doesn't have to take on every defender (at least twice) before passing or shooting.

A new takeover rumour and Charlton rampant, 2019 is looking good so far.

I see that there isn't a New Year resolution to kick off matches on time.

How difficult is it, for goodness sake?

3:02pm We kick off

Waiting for late arriving fans.

Struggling to understand why Morgan hasnt been involved a bit more late - Has had a good start yet has been left on the bench a lot

Sunderland leading 1-0

In which case we won't be kicking off until at least August ... 2021.

Interception from Fossy in our half, through ball to Karlan who forces a corner.

23' Chance! Grant into the box, but just as he's about to finish, Guthrie recovers with a superb tackle.
Corner...

Walsall are so afraid of letting Fosu shoot that Stevenson is pretty much free every time on the left.
