Is it bad that I fear I’m mostly going to remember Bowyers reign for the last 10-minutes of headless chickenism and players shitting themselves as any game that we’re not losing edges to a close?
I do wish we adopted some sort of alternative approach. I don't just think this is Bowyer though. We've always seemed to have done it no matter who the manager is
On occasion sure, it just seems a constant at present for like the last calendar year....
The scoreline is misleading. Today was a fight and we won the fight. Simple as that. Maatsen showed real toughness as well as immense skill. Amazing to have a player like this at this level. Shinnie and Aneke are also very much Too Good For This League. Pratley's renaissance shows no sign of ending
Although Gunter might be the one who's really just playing completely below his level. He could do League One in a bathrobe
Never in doubt. We had a mad couple of minutes but I always thought we’d end up with three points. Glad to see Purrington score after he’s had some over the top criticism this season. Also seen a lot of people saying they wish we had a striker like Evans. Well he’s got 4 goals this season. Washington has 5. Delighted with his goal output so far
Another win, albeit very hard fought. Fleetwood are a decent side and, when they pulled the 2 goal deficit back, I was concerned that with the momentum they had, they might push on and get another. However HT came just about at the perfect time for us and we came out 2nd half won the penalty took the lead and played well, but in my mind, were dropping too deep. We have the " we will not lose" mentality coursing through the side, and that became evident at the end. Well played to every player, cant fault them and now many will get a well earned rest before they go again. This is an exciting time to be a Charlton fan.....what's not to like?
We’ve got the guile to open up a team when the conditions are against us (Northampton), we’ve got the creativity to secure a comfortable home win against lesser opposition (Oxford), we’ve got the tenacity to turn up at the ground of division favourite and upset the odds (Pompey) and tonight we proved we’ve got the guts to mix up with the more combative sides in this league and make sure we continue to come out on top.
Starting to get very excited about the future of this squad....
Excellent win against a very impressive Fleetwood side. How long have we got to wait for Chuks to start ahead of Bogle. He offers so much more.
I thought Bogle played very well tonight. He's fitter and sharper, just needs a goal to get his confidence up. We're lucky to have both him and Chuks able to bully defenders and link play well.
Got the clean sheet monkey of our back and three points . No league game for a while . Happy days . Will we play the same team two games in a row this season ? Probably not but who cares if we keep winning.
Wonders will never cease ... Watson didn’t get booked. Some solid performances tonight. Thought Washington had his best game, Purrington didn’t put a foot wrong, Bogle looked a handful, Morgan impressed. 17 shots! Onwards and upwards. The Future’s bright, the future’s Red and White
Thought we gave to much possession away in midfield which led to some bowel inducing moments.Defence,other than the two minute cat nap was superb again.Said last game Washington will get 20 this year,dont think he is going to be far away.Thought Chucks should have got 30 minutes as Bogle had run himself into the ground,how this man deserves a goal.
Fleetwood will feel a bit aggrieved at that but they conceded three so who cares. Both sides will be in the mix come the reckoning. Still think there is more to come and I’m wondering exactly what is our best eleven.
Good to get the albatross of not conceding out the way, and we looked solid from then on!
Really feel for Bogle. He just hasn’t been getting the luck and it’s not dropping for him! Hopefully he is keeping his head up as he holds the ball up so well- a really Paul Hayes type player for us!

Little harsh on Bogle I think. He’s run his nuts off, knackered the opposition defence. Which allows the less mobile chucks to do his stuff. Bogle is doing a good job I think, just needs a goal.Then we can all dip our cocks in custard!!!!!

Why? We could have been 4 up in the opening 30. It was our own misgivings that we weren't rather than their defensive display.
that's about as good a 3rd tier game as you're going to see, both teams played some good stuff but take out the 2 minutes of madness and we were comfortable enough overall. all the lads did great
Agreed. There was a thread moaning about the poor quality of football in this division, but that was a really good match
Tonight we showed we do have goals in us. We linked quickly and opened them up and could've had a lot more on another day.
Washington makes a lot of intelligent runs and his goals are well earned. Joint 4th top scorer in the league.
LB started the game with the right shape, big credit to him, and Maatsen in the advanced role caused them endless problems.
And we're STILL not at full strength. Still playing with full backs at centre back. Still missing Maddison. Still have unfit players knackered after 75 mins. What a start!
One of the best things about that win, was how intelligent we were in the final 5 mins. Buying fouls, holding play up, picking the right balls. This is very exciting.
