Bah, my picture's frozen again.

Scoham

Clocks still running so it’s a problem at the clubs end

And my picture froze for 2nd time, on now.

Having real trouble working out where the ball is in the shadow of the West, which is a shame as we've apparently been doing some nice stuff down that side.

3-1! Podgorny

Henry Irving

Podgorny on for Tagoe

Scores but did look offside

aliwibble

Good run down the middle, Hull got a tackle in, but we had enough numbers to recover, get the ball across the edge of the box and get the shot away

Scoham

“The first team could learn how to score goals and come back from 1-0 down” etc

aliwibble

Ooh, Podgorny shot from distance rebounded off the post and back to their keeper.

Charlton keeper down in the shadow of the Jimmy Seed, ref has called the physio on

Sam Washington Amoah booked for a late challenge

Southbank

Richman and Valentine most impressive. Washington and Podgorny next.

aliwibble

That was a bit of a harsh free kick against us there.

aliwibble

6 mins added time, really?

aliwibble

Charlton penalty.

aliwibble

4-1, penalty coolly slotted into the left hand corner.

Scoham

Podgorny did well to get onto Richman’s saved shot to win the penalty and a well taken penalty by Peterkin

aliwibble

Final score 4-1. We play Wigan next Friday - at The Valley again?

Thanks for the updates all and @aliwibble in particular 

Scoham

Terry said the final will be at The Valley against Wigan after they beat Millwall

Seen the first three on various streams but not much of Podgorny. Looks a technically good attacking midfielder. Unlucky with long range effort that hit the post, will be interesting to see how he does next season.

Anyone know the date of the final V Wigan please?

Delighted to see we won! Had to pop out and we were 1 down.

Friday awful 


Surely better to have it on the Saturday, more people would attend than a Friday

Someone said Friday?

Lovely afternoon. Enjoyed that.

Very good second half performance today and some outstanding play once we went into the lead Hull left loads of gaps as they tried to get back in the game we could have scored more .
I went into the Keith Peacock suite at half time to get a drink and bumped into Chucks Aneke who was there scouting for Shrewsbury he was very pleasant and chatty.A good performance onto the final 😊

Podgorny made a big difference after coming on in 61st minute. Looks a real prospect.
