Great performances all over the pitch. Our midfield 3 was particularly strong. We look a better team without Leko in the starting line up. Pratley MotM.
Outstanding display from the Addicks, what a way to bounce back from the disappointment of Tuesday night
Yes you can say its frustrating that we keep conceding against ten men but at the end of the day you have to remember the talent at the disposal of these teams we're facing - Said it in the summer and still see it now, most of our games this month have been no different to Charlton v Accrington with us playing the part of the latter this time around - Accrington proved when they came to the Valley that they werent going to roll over for us and now we're proving to the top teams that we're not going to roll over for them - We as fans though do still need to remember the ability amongst the likes of West Brom | Leeds even Bristol City and acknowledge that they've got players who can hurt us even if they are a player down
The fairytale continues though, yet in all honesty I dont care if we dont go up - The Championship is continuing to prove why its such an entertaining League and fully expect more twists and turns even before 2019 is done and dusted - Gallagher was back to his best today after a quiet evening in Bristol; Bonne had a quiet game today but proved he's a proper Striker who only needs one chance to score
Certainly impressed with Sarr too, I know he's played as part of a back three a few times now this season but after his Wembley performance he's come on leaps and bound in that formation now
Was it a sending off; absolutely Was it a penalty; Hmmm
Without doubt; Cullen is a Kinsella type player though; showed his quality to both Charlton and West Ham not just with his overall performance but to have the balls to step up and take an important penalty, although as he showed against Doncaster in the Play-Offs; stepping up to take penalties in crunch situations is nothing new to him
Great result today. As an aside watching SSN reminded me of what a bell Clinton Morrison is. Of all the ex-pros out there how the hell is he on the telly?!

i don't know how he gets the work. the bloke can barely string a sentence together.
Me & littleun there...wot a game that was overall a fair result,everybody on that field just don’t know how to quit...spesh mention to Dills our No1,Cullen with that pen too... LB/JJ/SG/AM dream team...
Cheers Gary, I spoke in my piece about it being a doubtful penalty for us but the same could be said about their second goal!! - Officials were certainly off the pace today, Livermore was without doubt lucky to be on the pitch after just two minutes today whilst they couldnt even get the basis right (i.e. Sarr being shoved off the ball yet no Free-Kick)
Bit like Linnington's decision not to give Pearce a Free-Kick in the dying stages on Wednesday
Sometimes you get the luck going your way (it didnt on Wednesday), sometimes it does (it kinda did today)
One thing I'll say about the "soft" penalty: when the pillock clashes into Sarr, you can see as he peels off of him his left arm is tugging Sarr around.

He may not last on TV. Jeff Stelling gave him a rollocking for using the a similar word that starts with a B.
Firstly, a very fortunate penalty from what I can see. I may be wrong but it looked harsh. Secondly, a definite red card. Not high, like Bertrand’s last night but out of control and late. Their second was, probably more handball than not.
I can’t add much to what others have said on here. What a fantastic group of staff and players we have. We are on a pretty amazing journey with them and it doesn’t appear to be stopping any time soon.
Bowyer is proving himself to be a quality leader of people. It would be amazing to spend a week behind the scenes with him to see how he spends that time. His tactical nous is way beyond what I ever expected as is his ability to get the best out of people, regardless of age, ability or reputation.
I do have a real fear that a top club may come calling this season. I am watching what is happening at Derby with interest and trepidation. Cocu is seriously struggling and given how we gave them a lesson last week he must be pretty high up on any list of potential replacements.
Anyway, whatever happens happens and I can’t wait for next week to see how we do against Preston.
We deserved that. Again, luck wasn't with us but we kept plugging away and got what we deserved. Can't help feeling though that we could have won that (like Wednesday). Overall, feeling pretty satisfied after that one but would have been gutted (again, like Wednesday) if Robson-Kanu had sunk that one at the end.
I must admit I wasn't sure that Bows did the right thing by replacing Pratley with Aneke, especially after they got their 2nd shortly after. But, fine margins and the penalty leveled it which we deserved.
You've got to give it to Bows - he delivers entertainment. That was a cracking game.
Overall, considering our injuries, we played well. I didn't think Naby had his best game and I'm not a fan of Oztumer.

palarse twat. 🤬
After the break, beat Derby, lose midweek to Bristol, draw 2-2 at WBA
Penalty looks a bit soft.

But he did send their player off and give us a soft penalty in the last minute. Not the actions of a terrible ref, surely?
The Covered End choir were in full voice today.
buzzing!
Not a red card as far as he's concerned.
Twat.
Thanks to all contributers
Always appreciated

I thought the referee was poor.
