as he came off he had a couple of twaty Plymouth fans giving him shit. He was smiling at them as he went passed.
Pissed me right off when DJ went off... All season we've had to endure clubs time wasting with their subs at the Valley.
Number goes up, they stroll towards the bench, shake a few hands, stop to clap their fans, stop to scratch their bollocks and then finally get off the pitch.
DJ on the other hand gets stopped and told to leave the pitch at the nearest point, yet was the only one that had to be asked to do it yesterday!! - the ref still managed to add on six minutes, despite the only stoppage being the injury to Pearce.
A couple of defenders, a goalie and maybe another aggressive midfielder in the window and who knows?
WELL DONE JJ - keep it going.
We are getting our club back.
A central defender or two and a striker and that should do us. Not sure we need any more midfielders.
I mean I know it’s a big IF but if they are all fit W have 5 central defenders already if you include Deji not mention Gunter , Clare and Mathews who can cover there
We’d have to make room in the squad to add anyone.
Schwartz has gone but JFC will take that spot.
I expect Arter’s loaned will be terminated to free up another.
Can we move Watson on? Kirk may go out on loan given he doesn’t fit the formation.

yeah i was annoyed by it. i think its the right thing to do but it has to be constant. still not sure where they got 6 minutes from. maybe that bloke in the east holding on to the ball for too long.

As well as the skipper is playing, I don't think he has a full season in him, and Lavelle/Innis are potentially out for a longish time.

I would keep watson over morgan i think times up for him and he has to be moved on for both parties
Being a Cafc fan over too many decades meant I thought we would lose yesterday as I was duped by JJ interview with CAST on Thursday and thought we were down to one CB, Pearce who was guaranteed to get injured( he did !) and then on Friday when Deji Elerewe played for the U23. I thought how can we win against a team who are in great form when we are playing a back 3 with no CB when the curse of the CB was bound to happen.
Fortunately Famewo could play which JJ sensibly kept quiet. ( When did we know that Famewo could play ?)
After seeing Conor Washington cameo against Italy when he nearly scored, I thought he may score but wasn't convinced we would create 3 chances so he would take 1. Conor did have 3 chances and he took the one chance when it was right of central and he wasn't on the left side and having to cut back on to his favoured right foot.
It's been bloody joyless supporting Charlton over the past few years, I feel like the joy has come back. I buzzed all the way home, buzzed out of bed this morning, and will likely be buzzing into next week. What a brilliant feeling.
It was tense in the first half because I think we all knew this story - get the fans in and capitulate, but these players are fearless and they gave Plymouth no respect whatsoever. The press was superb and was often driven by the noise of the crowd and the Argyle players also looked like they struggled to deal with the intensity of the atmosphere. It was like the good old Fortress Valley days.
Plymouth's no. 28 (Camara) looked a good player was the only one to really cause us problems. It wasn't like they played badly but we didn't let them play. (Under Adkins it was like we were shepherding teams into our box).
Our midfield three were superb and have endless energy. Lee is fast turning into my favourite player, he's very technical and has all the ability you could ask for at this level, but he also tackles, wins the ball and runs all day. I still think there's more to come from him in terms of goals.
The makeshift defence didn't look makeshift at all. Up front we probably looked weakest, Davison put in a great shift but offered little threat. Washington was great but mostly in the second half. DJ swung in about 15 dangerous crosses and with Stockley we surely would've scored from one.
But we fully deserved the win and it should've been 3 or 4. To perform like that, against a team who are unbeaten in 17 games, wow. What can this team do next.

I have a very strong feeling in my water that outright promotion is what this team will eventually do next! But as at absolute minimum a successful playoff campaign (successful as in winning again at Wembley!)

I agree Morgan needs to move on and play regular football, but his age means it doesn’t free up a space in the squad.
Really great valley day today, up there with some of my favourites, despite the queues to get in and missing the first ten minutes. Pretty obviously not opening all the west upper turnstiles for a sold out game was going to result in that. Plus the electronic scanning thing is rubbish. At one point they opened the exit gates and people surged in.
Hopefully there’s some sort of review.
Anyway, was able to quickly forget all of that, and hopefully the first timers did too. This team puts in a shift like few others I’ve seen. Every one of them.
Special mentions for Dobson (lad can switch on the afterburners when he chooses) and Famewo, closely followed by Gilbey and DJ.
But for me Elliot Lee the standout. For a flair player, his work off the ball is exceptional.
I don’t know why it is, but over the last 30 years or so the successful DNA of this club is modest players working their nuts off for a manager who’s an ex player. Would be incredibly brave of TS to go against that now, as much as we surely need to find another formula at some point!
It's not just us:
Eddie Howe at Bournemouth Chris Wilder at Sheffield United Dean Smith at Villa
...................to name but 3 recent ones that spring immediately to mind.
Successful managers at mid-sized clubs are often ex-players or boyhood fans.
I would have welcomed Wilder but bringing him in now (if he were still available) or anyone else to replace Jacko would be an act of madness.

Yeah I agree - Was definitely bemoaning the lack consistency in it being enforced.
Did i hear Plymouth fans singing 'Charlton get battered everywhere they go at 0-0'?
I thought I heard that - Wasn't sure if they were saying Charlton or one of their rivals though.
Equally didnt understand the Pasty chant from us. Unless I'm missing a trick, Plymouth is in Devon rather than Cornwall - Never had the pleasure of being able to enjoy a Devon Pasty before
It’s a great shame the Muppet” Charlie Dell” could not print the true facts in today’s Football League paper. JJ has won 4 and drawn 1 which is 13 points out of 15 and not 10.Eg W W D W W. also we beat Plymouth fair and Square and where the Better team, that is why Plymouth lost. get your Act together Charlie as your get paid for accurate facts not bollocks 😂😂😂😂

There’s something wrong with Jacko’s mic in these hidden camera videos. It keeps cutting out on every other word! To treat a gentleman like that is a ******* disgrace!
Really enjoyed Washingtons celebration after scoring. Just stood there soaking it all up Cantona style, gazing into the Covered End in awe. A great moment then in typical Connor style he couldn't keep still and ran off pumping his fists like a madman haha! A great moment we fully deserved and it finished them off. COYA

Otherwise think its a good rule.
