The Addicks remain unbeaten in their Championship return. We left it late to equalise, but Bowyer's Addicks know how to battle it out and never give up.
Think it shows, to those who weren't there, that they can grind a result and knuckle down. Prepared to be told that they were really shit by someone who was there, but an away draw is an away draw
Watched on Valley Pass. Thought we deserved a draw. A very good point against a strong Barnsley team. We had some great chances too (Aneke, Cullen). Happy we were rewarded in the end. Looking forward to next week, I'm coming over for the Brentford match
I am smirking at that table at the monent. Hallucinating that we are both in the same positions after 45 games with both of us playing each other last game of the season.
A very good point against a well organised, well drilled Barnsley team. I felt we just shaded the second half, Aneke perhaps should've got on the score sheet.
-this team don't give up even when it looked like Barnsley had done a job on us and killed the game
-we have some real threat in the final third and we can create something out of nothing, Gallagher winning the penalty was a prime example as was Williams deft pass to Aneke a few moments before
-seven goals already this season is the most in the league, we are going to be fun to watch this season
-we passed our first "reaction to going behind" test not once but twice so must give it up to the squad for that
Negatives
-we are shaky at the back and need to find a way to string together a few clean sheets
I’m well happy with that not only the point, but the fact that I cashed out our 6 game accumulator after around 70 minutes had 5 winners and obviously Charlton losing at 2-1 made a massive profit of £6.99 had Charlton won my boy would have killed me as we would have lost out on another £800, was bricking it after lyles equaliser 😀😀.

Wasnt there either but we are much more mentally stronger i would say over the last 12months or so. I managed to watch 15mins of the 1st half and about the same in the 2nd half and i wouldnt say we were shit at all.
Prately gets better each week. Good battling performance, Barnsley are a decent team. Impressed with the Barnsley LB. Win one of the two home games and 10 from first 5 fantastic return.
Well, full marks for resilience and very happy with a point, but we got a bit lucky with that today. Barnsley were both more physical and more skilful, playing the better football for much of the 90 minutes. We played the long ball far too much and ended up giving a battling display rather than the fluent football we have come to anticipate. It looked to be that Lee Bowyer's tactics didn't really work, or maybe it was that too many players had an off day. Certainly, Ben Purrington and Josh Cullen gave the worst performances I can remember from those two usually reliable stalwarts. It was a blow losing Chris Solly so early, even though he had already been given the run around, and although Deji Oshilaja did ok, I suspect that events may have pushed Lee Bowyer into stepping up the signing of another Right Back. Of all the others, I would say that only Jason Pearce, Darren Pratley, Gonor Gallagher and Lyle Taylor came out of the game having done themselves full justice. The rest were ok, but only ok.
Anyway, it's definitely a point gained. Unbeaten. 7 out of 9 points in the bag. On to Forest at home and aiming to hit double figures for points gained much earlier than most of us would have anticipated.

Not having that, when Charlton are really crap away in the championship we get thrashed like my visits to Hull 6-0 and Watford 5-0. Superb point even though my son just text that we struggled 2nd half, but we don't know when we're beaten.

Keeps us unbeaten, and stops one of our rivals getting 3 points
We could’ve scored more, but I’ll take that all day long.
Williams was exceptional in tight spaces, creates so much.
Had Barnsley not scored early in the second half I reckon we could have dominated but that early goal allowed them to set up shop
Wasnt a poor performance from the players but just felt as though they couldnt quite get into gear, too many mis-placed passes etc.
Still have Kayel and Otzumer to come in and maybe Hemed.
Hope Solly is OK
Big home games now.

Switched the commentary on at 85 minutes.
We've scored 7 and have 7 points from 3 games. Let's keep it up.

6 points clear of 22nd, good result.
