No mentions about Michael Morrison - did he get a reception/acknowledge our fans, how did he play ?
What a result, what a team Bows, Jacko and Gallen are
As he came out for the 2nd half he came up and applauded the away fans, got a standing ovation in return (well, to be fair, we were all standing already but he did get an ovation)

Thought it was a nice touch of him and glad he got a good reception back
This team never ceases to amaze me, loved Bows comments after the game, despite winning and having a 2 win break, says he will start watching Birmingham matches tonight for the next game, what a honour it is to have him in charge
Can’t wait for the cricket season to finish so I can throw myself into the football. Been listening to Huddersfield supporters moaning at full time today. They say they are relying on Grant too much. I say they need a better manager. 14 points in August shows what a miracle LB continues to perform. We simply have to keep hold of him just because of the mentality he passes on to the team. No reason why we can’t stay in the top 10 all season at this rate. Every player seems to be chipping in. So, brilliant thus far and long may it continue.

Listened to BBC Berks on way home for take on game from Reading angle. No dispute Charlton was best team they’d seen and deserved to win. Didn’t think their team played badly, Charlton just better. One caller ridiculed by presenter for saying Charlton were lucky.
Their manager waffled for ten minutes about his team needing to stop making mistakes. Reminded me of garbage Pardew used to spout. Generally seemed shell shocked they had lost given the £15m of talent they’ve just bought.
couldn't Bowyer take the Huddersfield job, sell Grant back to us on a free, then resign and come back to us, preferably all in a week.

Reading Readings forum, christ they are bitter, appropriately we were lucky, wont do anything, will be found out, quite fans lool you love to see this, burning opposite fans, no more friendly roll over Charlton, this years Championship shithousers, and I am loving it

They'll be found out before we do... Their defending at times in the second half was from a team who completely switched off
Apart from their Puscas chance before HT they didnt get through us because our back four remained focused the whole time

EE Aye, EE Aye, EE Aye' Oh , up the football league we go , when we win promotion, this is what we'll sing, we are Charlton, we are Charlton, Bowyer is our KING!
The first time I sung that, it was "...Saunders is our KING!"
Now it would be "...Saunders is inside".
How old are you? He was talking about Ron Saunders.
Now I have a question. I remember my wife always called Ron Saunders "Daddy Saunders", because with his paunch, greying hair and walking pace, he looked like a dad having a Sunday kick-about with the kids. Was that just her nickname or did others call him that?
Not heard him called that, either as a player or manager.
Must just have been my missus' Oedipus Complex then.

They need a Manager full stop
Sure. I meant better than some 2nd rate Borussia Dortmund type.
Another fantastic win. It's very early days but so important to put points on the board. Also really happy to hear that Chuks seemed to have a big impact when he came on
What a great day out ....again ! I could REALLY get used to this ! Daughter is loving the aways as much as she did in the late 80s and 90s and this time with her 2 eldest children.
I'm sure everything worth saying has already been said by now ...What a great 2nd half performance by our lads with the flowing, accurate passing we saw in the 1st half of the Forest match at The Valley. Such energy, skill & determination, with every successful pass, block & tackle cheered by the faithful. A joy to behold indeed.
THIS is what we save our hard earned pennies to see & what the likes of Man City fans expect to see week after week.
Our expectations are somewhat lower, albeit that we constantly live in hope of 3 points or even 1 each time we take our seats in the grounds we visit and what we were privileged to witness this afternoon. Utterly sublime.
It would be totally unfair to single out a MOTM . Every player knew their role from start to finish and carried out the gaffer's cunning plan with their hearts as well as their legs IYKWIM. Poetry in motion, as Johnnie Tillotson sang when I was just a girl.
The atmosphere engendered by the 2000+ travelling Addicks was electric with non stop singing, chanting and bouncing. Boy, did that South Stand rock ! No-one wanted to leave - waiting expectantly for Lyle's tunnel jump and then applauding the subs as they came out to warm down. Sadly for them, the Reading fans had resembled cardboard cutouts for most of the match and couldn't wait to exit stage left....
Two thoughts jumped into my mind as we made our way back to the car.
Firstly, how proud Bow, Jacko & SG must be of their boys tonight and how all concerned are deserving of the upcoming , break.
And secondly, how "our" Morro must have wished that he was still wearing the red shirt today, bless his cotton socks. But for a certain Belgian, his path over the last 4 years would have been very different. A respected & stalwart defender who will be long & fondly remembered in SE7.
So, with the red ball prominent in our thoughts next weekend, we look forward with barely disguised excitement to the visit of Birmingham in 2 weeks' time. Wouldn't it be great to have a full house at The Valley !

The way the 'keeper positioned himself Id have loved it had Lyle sprinted up to the ball blasting it
Last season we had incredible team spirit, and the concern was that this would be lost with all the changes, but it's still there in bucketloads.

It's no more than our brave lads deserve.
