    Great game.
    Great point.Another point closer to safety.
    Doughty will be one hell of a player. 20 times better than Purr.
    THAT tackle by Nabby, wow.
    For me, dont really get the major plusses re Pratley - yes, he might get his foot in, but so many times WBA were able to get behind him in the hole because he is not quick enough to cover that area. 
    But, overall, a cracking point, with 3/4 players out. Whatever the team, we seem to get a consistent performance from LB's teams, and never beaten by 3/4 goals.

    1. Disagree, completely different players. Purrington was unreal a couple of games back.

    2. Completely agree. He's massively overrated, but did play well today up to the last 15. Best thing he did today was to get in people's heads.
    Have to agree with President. Doughty is gonna be a cracker. Ive seen enough to see he will play for his country. Hopefuly England

    Great performance, showed so much spirit to fight back twice. 110% from everyone once again. 

    Anybody see how quick Matt Southall reacted when we started chanting ‘Southall give us a wave’.... he loved it haha brilliant.

    Davison was brilliant - caused their defence problems all game, always got in front of defenders and won many a free kick. Plus a poacher's goal. This guy was playing for Enfield in June. Amazing find.

    Bowyer.
    To get that tune out of those players in this situation.
    Make it a six year contract.

    "I feel sorry for Davison. He's so out of his depth and I'm sure he must be aware of it." 

    This was an embarrassing post on the match thread before the game started and looks even more foolish now. The lad put in some shift and fully deserved his goal. 


    There were a few embarrassing posts on the match thread. Especially the bloke who said it was "game over now" at 1 - 0 down. Have a bloody word with yourself.

    Really impressed with Davison today, incredibly strong and physical for a kid, and so pleased he got a goal 

    Far more impressive than Hemed

    Purrington’s version of unreal is passing the ball forward successfully a couple of times in the match and not being skinned alive, or beaten in the air by a midget.  He was good against Swansea but Doughty is on a completely different level offensively and better defensively too, IMO

    Song for Pratley, he deserves it 
    Darren Pratley..Darren Pratley.. he wins the ball back, his 34 and he doesn't like the palace..

    Davison will be an excellent 2/3/4 choice striker, especially with that work rate and growing eye for goal.

    No point writing as list when all fully fit as that doesn't happen.

    It's just a general announcement to remind everyone that we operate a zero tolerance policy on it, don't quote me on it but I'd imagine it's an initiative thats been set up by the EFL and clubs
    Good. Why would it bother anyone? Charlton were leaders in anti racism back in the day. Long may that continue.

    That goal has been coming for Davison.  Thrown in at the deep end he has worked tirelessly and really rattled West Brom today.  He got his reward. 

    As for Hemed,  he just needs a run of games. 

    Very encouraging to see Williams and JFC,  Hemed  back.  Get Cullen,  Taylor and Bonne back and we are up and running.  That's without any new signings.

    Fantastic game that. You can never fault the effort of a Lee Bowyer team. Does he get every decision right, nope, but we have a special manager, who is getting every inch of ability out of these players. 

    My one bit of criticism, and I said this in the match thread, we must be the only football team ever who when we have a throw in its a negative for us.

    I can understand why they did not rush to make signings for the sake of them last week.

    Not expecting him to be first, 2nd or even 3rd choice when everyone is fit, but he's shown enough in a limited time to show he has enough about him to at least be in the first team squad next season.

    Good result. Atmosphere OK, but not a wow game. 

    Forster Caskey made a difference. He could be some player for Charlton if his injury has not damaged him too much and Bowyer stays.

    With the exception of a drowsy 15 minutes after the break, that was a magnificent performance from a makeshift side.  I was really pleased for Davison and Lockyer and like the look of Green. Most of all though I was impressed with Pratley who was a real life Captain  Marvel. 

    West Brom are a top side, which ain't bad going for a team whose sport of preference is tag-team wrestling, and yet at no point did this look a mismatch. The Baggies would be useless at playing rummy, the way collected cards was more reminiscent of a bunch of excitable 8 year olds with their first ever Panini books. Looks can be deceiving though, because, under the tutelage of an ever cynical Bilic, they very carefully shared them amongst themselves so that they never saw red. To my eyes they well overdid it. Referee Gillett never looked like he was going to take his responsibilities for fairness or player safety seriously and so the most the midlanders got was a Gillett jaune, not a well deserved Gillett rouge.

    It was great being back at The Valley with both my sons, and great too to bump into several old friends, a couple of Lifers amongst them. Best though was seeing the real spirit this young team has got.

    I'm happy. 1-1 against league leaders with the promise of signings and players returning from injury bodes well.
