Big improvement. No gaping hole in the middle of the pitch. Comparisons between Lapslie and Smith are silly, different players. Smith has been decent, would like to see him get stuck in a bit more though. JFC showing the way. If you were going to put Lapslie into this midfield it'd be instead of Watson but Watson is playing alright too. Wigan very poor so we have to capitalize and get 3 points on the board tonight which we look well on course for at the moment.
Love these little stories that come out the Curbs didn’t know about - it’s like the grown up children admitting to Dad what they got up to when they were young
Curbs clearly has a lot of affection for his old Charlton players
They clearly had some brilliant times together off the pitch
"We've missed JFC, that's obvious to see, that competitiveness, we'll see how long he can go"
"Jayden before Saturday's game had tightness, before coming here hadn't played many minutes, don't want to take risks with him, opportunity for Chuks, on his day he can be unplayable"
"Got to address the game in right way, no one gives you anything, have to earn 3 points, will have to compete, they will be fighting for the points, we must do the basics right"
"It's crazy, since coming in charge, our home form had always been very good and year we went up away form was weakness but this year it's reversed, need to get back on track and hopefully that starts tonight"
It's mad that if we win tonight, it's only business as usual away from home. It's at home the form needs addressing.
Result tonight is more important than the performance imo. Hope we dont try to defend for 45 mins and trust us not to concede. 3 points is there to be had
Simon Webster sounds like a right bundle of laughs - nailed on dinner party guest

Back to the Valley day he was up on the table leading the singing in the Oak after the game , don’t be fooled by the TV persona...
Fair enough - I stand corrected - I don’t know how, but I have never been in The Oak - 45 years since I first went to The Valley - how has that happened !!!

How is he even close to the same age as Minto though, looks old enough to be his dad!
