    Leko off, Hemed or Oz on?

    Something about Gallagher.

    Remember Lee Bowyer playing for Charlton?

    Dont think we'll see an early sub due to only having 2 left. My bet is 70 mins +

    Gallagher just has a knack of being in the right place at the right time. It’s something that can’t be taught.
    Agree it’s natural with some players, though it can be encouraged and improved, look at Purrington. He’s not scored many but he keeps getting in those positions.

    HT 1-0 Addicks lead.

    Probably the least convincing display I've seen from Lord Bowyer's charges this season ... but who cares? We're winning!

    Brentford started by far the better side and although they didn't create a clear-cut opportunity they were certainly threatening.

    Ironically it's taken an injury to one of Wednesday's heroes, Deji, to get the Addicks back into the game as we've shifted to three at the back with five in midfield which has slowed down the Bees.

    Lockyer produced another outstanding challenge to save a goal; not as excellent as the Forest tackle, but just as effective.

    The garden gnome has been kicked from pillar to post but it was his tackle to win the ball, speed to get back to his feet, and quickness of brain to see the pass to Baby Beckham that gave us the opportunity to take the lead ... and didn't Gallagher do well!

    Conor's senior career might only be in the embryonic stage but his composure in front of goal would have pleased a gnarled old pro.

    Hopefully the second half will see us settle into this new formation and put in a better performance.

    I don't trust us not to concede so it's vital we get a second goal sooner rather than later.

    Leko non existent today but shouldn't just pick on him as there's been some dross served up all over the pitch. 

    Brentford for all their possession haven't really created any clear cut chances, still think this finished 2-0 to us.

    Judging by who's warming up in their match shirt I'd say Hemed.

    Hemed on. Comms team think Leko off.

    He is not a number, he is a free man!

    Hemed straight in with a challenge on their centre back. He'll endear himself to the crowd quickly with effort like that.

    Perhaps we've only got one Taylor?

    46'

    Corner, Brentford. Conceded by Darren Pratley.

    Hemed with a nice first contribution.

    Ooh close!

    Willo's forward pass just a yard too heavy for Lethal to run on to.

    50' Some nice forward play from the Addicks in the last few minutes. Williams nearly unlocks the Brentford defence again, but it's just too heavy for Taylor. #cafc 1 #bfc 0

    A better start to this half from Charlton!

    Ben Purr got in his chariot, went down the left and drilled a cross that Lethal couldn't quite reach at full stretch.

    51' Close! A superb ball from Purrington, on the bounce from the left, is so nearly met by Taylor, but he can't get the touch. #cafc 1 #bfc 0

    This Hemed Taylor partnership looks very promising already
