Williams much better in the middle, chucks different class as always, Morgan proving he should be in first 11 and Amos with a crucial save early on - if we could have left Williams and aneke on or replaced with same quality we could have won by 4 or 5 - that is what we have to address in the window5

What a difference from the Burton performance, where the players thought they just had to turn up to win. I couldn't be bothered even looking at that post match thread.
LB stopping the playing out from the back like were Man City and Ipswich not pressing anywhere as much as we did, allowed us to play to our strengths considering who was available.
100% effort from the whole team is what I want to see and we got that today. They all deserve tomorrow off.
Morgan MOTM, with some superb performances from Watson and Williams.
At one point it looked like Smyth had two kneecaps. As he got on the golf cart under his own steam, it's hopefully not as bad as I thought.

After the horse and cart comes the Lord Mayor's Show!Excellent all round performance.2

A real gap has opened up between the top 10 teams and the rest now. Accrington and Doncaster both have games in hand and can jump up the table very quickly if they win them.

The response we were all looking for after Tuesdays blip! Midfield looked good and Morgan was everywhere. Easily Watson’s best performance in a Charlton shirt. Need to carry it onto to Wednesday.3

Just what the Dentist ordered. And not conceding capped the performance. Purrington fillings in at left back and Watson having his best game crowned the midfield trio.23

Charlton are so much better without Maddison. So far he has not adopted our style of play which is short interlinking passes. He plays a through ball which doesn’t always find its man but doesn’t really get on with the way we play which I think has affected performances until now. Whether he can change this I am not sure. Glad for Bogle and Morgan. Can’t wait until we get back to the valley to see it live.9

That’s better - with Watson and Morgan outstanding. Just wish we could be rid of our injury woes.0

Makes up for midweek shambles and keeps us where we should hope to be, well done up the reds0

Much better performance today & I’m glad we did away with playing out from the back. Good to see Omar get his first goal but the only thing to put a dampener on the result was seeing Paul Smyth on crutches at the final whistle.1

If Marcus can put in that effort with slightly better service than Jonny then he'd be lethal for us0 -
Can only assume Bowyer gave them a world class hairdryer treatment after Tuesday's "performance".
Outstanding result.6 -

If they couldn't see it clearly or didn't know how bad it was then they shouldn't have speculated about the serverity of the injury. FWIW I think they do a good job usually but I think this incident reflects badly on them.Silverdreammachine said:Someone on earlier page said:

PWR. Didn't see the whole match but what I did see was impressive. It makes Tuesday's performance even more baffling.
Very pleased to see less messing around at the back and a higher intensity and pressing all over the pitch. There is no excuse going forward for anything less.

In the words of the Kaiser Chiefs - Omar God I can’t believe it, I love it when the Addicks win away from home!
I know home vs away is less significant this season, but that was the perfect away performance and puts Tuesday’s debacle to bed. Big win with it being a game in hand and vs another top 6 contender. Fully deserved too, had a little spell of pressure from Ipswich before our first goal and Big Ben had to make one fine save but otherwise I felt we controlled the game.
Back 4 looked much more assured. I thought Pratley in particular played well and looks better when he’s not marking a big physical lump like on Tuesday. Matthews is too good for this level as well, no idea how he got binned out by Sunderland - no wonder they’ve got stuck in this dump of a division.
Midfield looked much better. Maddison might offer a moment or two of explosive brilliance but the combination of Morgan, Shinnie, and Williams offers skill and technique in tight spaces but they also take care of the ball, not surrendering it cheaply, and boy did they all work hard without the ball. I hope Maddison can see the example they set and learn from it. Watson anchored it all brilliantly while using all his experience and barely breaking sweat.
Up front Smyth and Chuks are a good big man little man pair. Chuks just terrifying for defenders at this level. I hope Smyth’s injury is not serious.
Really pleased for Bogle, he’s had a bit of a wobble mentally the last couple of games, but overall his contribution has been good this season and he’s both deserved and clearly been desperate to get his goal. He’s got that monkey off his back now and can hopefully focus on doing his job for the team again. He did that today, to be fair.
Injuries mounting up is a concern, but I do think it’s generally starting to come together. The team are gelling and I think it’s probably getting clearer for Bows what his best team is. Going well overall, I think.

Excellent win and performance, the attitude was so much better than on Tuesday. Partially it'll be because Bowyer bollocked them, but also because playing a big "team" like Ipswich brings out the best in the players and stops any complacency
Also helped by having a much better starting 11. Morgan and Aneke are clearly part of our best 11 at the moment, and Williams came in and did very well also.
Morgan MOTM, he was everywhere. Aneke was a beast, Watson excellent, all across the pitch we played much better than Tuesday
I wasn't impressed with Ipswich, plenty of effort but there didn't seem much quality out. They looked like a well drilled "small" club rather than a former PL and Championship club. Last season they had a great start then slumped, this season seems to be going the same way. 2 defeats in 5 days to promotion rivals, 0-3 and 0-2 must hurt.4 -
That's true and it's fine for people watching the game to speculate on the severity of the injury, but when you're broadcasting you should be more careful I.M.O. His family could've been watching and the commentators were telling us it looked like his ankle was badly broken.Oggy Red said:

If that is the case that is good news and may only miss one game depending on swelling etc.0 -
Why say he'd broken his ankle then? With respect, I thought at the time it was just a guess and that's exactly what it appears to have been. Was unnecessary, never looked like an ankle injury to me.Silverdreammachine said:Someone on earlier page said:

Great result. Much better performance but how bad were Ipswich !1
-
Just occurred to me - how many different scorers have we had this season? Just need Maatsen and Gunter to get on the sheet next!4
