Really interesting at the end that Piggot spent a lot of time going round the Charlton players - particularly as he didn't play with most of them - and LB gave him a very big handshake.
Worth a crafty bid in January? Or a swop deal for Bogle?
Great team result, just what they deserved. Pleased as punch. Coverage on valley live was excellent. Well worth a tenner. The emotion of Thomas towards Charlton during half time chat was plain to see. Onwards and upwards.
first half poor, then chucks and williams come on - hopefully in the window we will bring more in that are at their level and be able to have a 90 minute threat
From the 1st minute of the second half we upped the tempo , none of the sideways backwards passing shit . This was intensified when Chuks and JW replaced Bogle and Gilbey and we ripped them apart . Purrington's goal was the icing on the cake .
“Jake took to getting in to the box like water”...not a duck to water....just water. Thanks Lee.
What a ridiculous failed analogy by Bowyer that was, Bowyer out!
Shows sometimes as football fans we need to turn it in and let the people who are qualified just do their jobs. My main concern with Lee was outing players to the press but the players he has openly criticised have all responsed well so clearly he has their respect.
Williams lightning, Gunter solid, Aneke unplayable and Maddison oozes class at times. Great turnaround and hopefully we can keep it going, great result as I didn't see a way back after going 2-1 down with how we have recently been I'll be honest
Very pleased with that second half performance. Worthy of the three goals scored and the fourth in added time was a lovely bonus.
Some work still to be done defensively. Pearce is a great leader but not the tallest and Pratley being a central midfielder will always be more comfrtoable with the ball to feet. When Inniss and Famewo finally return, I think that any aerial struggles will turn around swiftly.

Sandgaard basically said pre match we have signed 2 players already. Doubt its Pigott tho, but I was impressed with him.
Great team display today. I know I'm going to get shot down but MM was my MOM he provides so much threat all the time. If he can be an automatic starter the goals will flow because other players will know the ball is going into danger areas. Chuks made a massive impact obviously but we know he doesnt when he starts games it's a shame but what an impact sub he is
Hard to excited after that first half performance.
Hard not to get excited over the second half. We looked like we would create a chance every time we were in the final third. And we were in the final third a lot
As I said at half time, I wasn't too fussed that we were behind as I could see we were the better team & we just needed to score more than them to win. Sounds obvious but that is all football is about.
We looked a lot better going to a back 3 & Gunter had a stormer. Game changed with the addition of Williams & Aneke.......if only both could start & last 90 mins then we have a chance of top 2.
so some of those post match comments from LB seem targeted at a few fans tbh. I completely see why. He should have dedicated that win to a few donuts that post on here
Probably stating what is being said before but really good management from Bows second half. I, like others have thrown some deserved criticism his way but to set us up and go for it second half was outstanding. Aneke and Williams changed the game. I thought the full backs were superb, we generally lack width because of Doughty and Smyth's absence but Gunter and Maatsen were brilliant second half. I thought Watson and JFC controlled everything and Maddison showed more glimpses of his obvious ability. Deserved credit to Bowyer though, warrants some plaudits that.
Well, that is the way to get me to cough up more tenners! No sign of the team sitting back after going ahead - you never know how important goal difference could be at the end of the season.
I don't think Aneke plays with the same intensity when he starts games. Bowyer has stated before that Bogle wears the defenders down then Chuks, who is the more skilful of the two, comes on and takes advantage. It's worked before, it worked today.
I liked the way we mixed the play today with Amos sometimes playing short, sometimes kicking long. Generally it's been one or the other and therefore predictable. A lot of players deserve credit today but I'll leave that for the marks thread but huge respect to Jonny Williams who did brilliantly after what happened last week.
Enjoyed the new Valley Pass coverage and great that it debuted with a seven goal game.
Great 2nd half. Upped the tempo. Jonny Williams is the man. A lot of players would have the hump after last week but he came on and did the business. Gunter atoned for his penalty giveaway last week. Nice to see a creative player like Maddison in a charlton shirt. A couple of great passes and a sublime back heel in the 2nd half. Hopefully he will get better and better. Bogle not setting the world on fire but plays a role softening up the defence for Chuks.

Nice to see Thomas get a little emotional from crowds applause.
Although we were behind first half it was so much better in that we tried to get forward.
Second half great entertainment the introduction of Aneke and Williams made all the difference.
Sorry but still don’t get Bogle.
Overall such a well spent £10, onwards and upwards.

Quick observation that JFC was man of the match.
Of the last 6 games ive watched 4 the 2 games ive not watched weve won

Today really wasn't much cop so you're not missing much :-)
Trouble is what if he tires and we've not scored yet?
Is it better to have him fresh and everyone else tired, or risk that we will score with him starting?
