It's great to pick up 3 points so late in the game and great that so many teams around us have dropped some. Fingers crossed over the next 3 games. If we can get at least 6 points without Lyle we're looking very good for the automatics.
Looks like Lyle already half way to ground in that image, so can’t see how he’s done enough to deserve red. Of course haven’t seen footage prior to this so maybe he had some something.
Blimey what a contrasting afternoon from a very civilised pre match Q&A with their gent of an owner to a mass brawl. Shouted myself hoarse - meant to be on Charlton Live show tomorrow so better keep quiet this evening to make sure I have a voice. Can't call us Southern Softies after that.
Awful game, flat performance but we won. Accrington were awful just kicking us out of our stride most of the time. So happy we won. Needed that slice of luck with the assistant giving the penalty. Shame Lyle was sent off though but another three points in the bag.
Had a feeling something like that was coming, everyone was sounding too confident and dismissive of Accrington.
Sounds like we got away with one in the end, and it was a big win in terms of consolidating our position in the league and keeping up the promotion push.
Credit to the team for getting the job done by hook or by crook. Sounded to me like Bowyer’s subs probably should have been made earlier, particularly Reeves for Pratley.
We might have paid a high price for the win though, let’s hope we can get that red card over turned and/or accelerate our plans to bring in a striker.
Grant’s penalty practice last week looks all the more important in the light of today’s event.
So, on the basis that Taylor has 8 yellows and 1 straight red now, can some kind, more knowledgeable person tell me what the possible outcomes are now, if we appeal or don't appeal, please?
No appeal, 3 game ban Lost appeal, 3 game ban, or 4 if deemed frivolous (never seen this happen to anyone other than us) Won appeal, no ban, Taylor picks up 2 more yellow cards soon then gets a 2 game ban anyway
Huge win and now just 4 points off top. Also opened up a 7 point gap to 7th now.
Disappointing that Taylor will now be missing for a few games, bad timing too given that we just let Ajose go on loan.
Exactly what did Taylor do?
The Stanley defenders were indicating a back kick like Beckham's in WC. I saw kicks by defenders yet only the keeper got sent off for them. Lyle Taylor will miss 3 matches now and no doubt another 2 when he gets to 10 cards. Lyle have been excellent for Cafc BUT he needs to cut out the nonsense with the keepers at corners. Yet another goal ruled out for an infringement.

You're a ref, aren't you, Spankie?
What was your verdict of the sending off incident?
In that video, if you notice, there is a Charlton player giving it large to one of theirs, right in their face, after the ball goes in - central position.

The defender’s arm was raised and the ball hit it. But did he have enough time to get it out of the way? The ball was struck from very close range.

At least Grant can't leave this window !

Everyone's a winner
