The most enjoyable game of the season so far. Fleetwood play quite ugly at times but also proved they could knock it around a bit and provided a sterner test than some of the other opponents so far.
I am so hoping Bogle breaks his duck before long as he is working so hard for us and deserves a goal or two.
Three goals in a match also proves we have that threat in us and no reason we cannot build on that. A shame we have a break from the league now, as momentum is truly with us.
Bogles best game for us tonight. Thought he deserved a goal. Washington worked his nuts off, Shinnie and Gunter were solid 7/10s again. Chuks looks so good off the bench. Exciting times ahead. Up the Addicks!
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.
They both offer different things. Bogle is looking really sharp but the ball just isn't quite falling for him. Yes he had a couple of chances, but his all round play was excellent. The way he presses defenders is relentless
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.
Yes, what a difference to last season when we kept giving last minute goals away.

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!!!!!
yep, the Bogle/Chuks tag team substitution is really effective. oppo defenders must hate seeing it
Ok, clean sheet record gone, but we won....! Fleetwood, hard to tell whether they or Donny are best we have played this season. Think Fleetwood just nicked it.....
We were dangerous when attacking and bogle worked hard, but could’ve done better in some situations. Purrington good header, Washington worked hard, Morgan, excellent run and 1-2 for the pen and smart finish. Innis lost his runner for the first conceded goal and couldn’t see the ball float past him. Watson did well, would like to have seen him on the ball more. Maatsen was superb. They did pass well and forced us the defend deep for long periods and we soaked up the pressure well. I wish we wouldn’t do that. I thought they all did pretty well actually, just needed to win the ball more and relieve the pressure at times for my nerves. Nice to beat a few nasty blokes in the Fleetwood team.
Fleetwood will be up there this season, reckon they'll nick a playoff spot... Played some lovely stuff and we're also tough when needed. Impressed by them. We don't half grind out games though, we will get top 2 this season... Other than 5 minutes of madness they didn't look like scoring from all their good play
Well that was a bit good. Bloody great game of football. Fleetwood have a lot of players who are good at this level and play very good football. Great first half an hour, great start to the second half, did enough the rest of the time.
No league game for what, two and a half weeks now? So really important to hold on and win. And we did it. Given my nerves and anxiety disorder are already and absolute shitshow thanks to the US election, I could have done with a nice, easy 2-0 win. But that's alright.
What a lovely team this is. Especially given a lot of players didn't have a pre-season and most didn't have a pre-season together. So we'll just pick it up as we go, it seems.
What a win! I didn’t watch the game due to being away at work, but it’s made for a cracking start to my day! Can’t wait to watch the highlights. COYR’s!
If the Aneke shot that hit the post and Bogle when he latched onto the back pass had both gone in, 5 wouldn’t have flattered us at all.
Great game, thought we were going to cruise it at 2-0 but Evans showed he’s dangerous with a sniff at goal. Fleetwood had some pace and played well at times but there was good refereeing when their players kept trying to con free kicks. And a couple of nasty challenges from them too, Evans pretty dirty.
Really good to see us play it out with guile and grit.
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
Not a wake-up call as such, but a good reminder that there are decent teams in League One. But the way we recovered from conceding two goals in quick succession was superb. Maatsen my MoM but Gunter, Morgan, Pratley and Washington all get honourable mentions.
Great result & best performance (that I've seen) this season. All players put in a shift & hard to pick a stand out player. Some great movement & at times it looked like we could score every time we went forward. Having seen Fleetwood put 4 past Hull last month I feared the worst at half time but we upped the pace at the start of the 2nd half & rewarded with the pen & goal. Fleetwood will be up there at the end of the season & probably the best footballing team we've played so far.
Looking forward to getting Maddison & Gilbey out on the pitch and really seeing us purr.........
A thoroughly enjoyable match, between 2 very good sides
So many good performances out there, we showed far more attacking flair out there for the first hour, looking dangerous from set pieces, on the break and when Fleetwood had men behind the ball. I thought it was notable that we had a lot more shots than normal, taking far more snapshots from half chances than in previous matches
Bogle looks a real handful, he was more of a threat than Washington, but the stats will show 2 goals against Washington's name. Really pleased for Morgan, I've felt that some of Bowyer's criticism of him defensively after previous games has been over harsh - he's made mistakes, but he's hardly unique in that - but it was ridiculous when he was immediately pushed aside in favour of Levitt (who other than a poor 45 vs Northampton hasn't featured in our winning run)
We definitely missed Famewo tonight, as Fleetwood are a footballing side rather than a long ball one. I also thought we went too cautious at times in the second half, a bit strange to not use the final sub when Washington was tiring

Wouldn't want to finish third and play them in the semis. It would be like Doncaster again.
I'm confident that we will finish top two however, not that it will be easy as tonight proved.
That was the best game of football we've seen this season. The consolation of letting in those two goals was that it made it 'interesting'. I think that statement shows how superior we've been to the opposition in the other games, and I count Portsmouth in that. I think the break from the league comes at the right time for us.
In years to come, Charltons top scorer in their 2020/21 promotion season - Conor Washington - will be asked to name the best strike partner be ever had.
And like Mendonca speaking of Carlo before him - he will say Omar Bogle.

Charlton win. America, over to you.

You’ve forgotten the smoking jacket Leuth.
The sky's the limit with the fire they have in their bellies and the belief in their hearts.
Almost brings me to tears .
Actually, that was Mr F bursting his birthday balloon he's been playing with....

Time for me to heat up that humble pie
