Can’t help but be worried when it’s only 1-0. Their goalie kept them in it, but I felt we were wasteful with one or two.. the Purrington miss was the big one for me like others have said, he’s hit it back across into the centre when he needed to go down to corner. His positioning and timing of his runs in the box have been fantastic though and he looks like he’s always going to get a chance or two in this system.Glad for Gilbey, thought he was outstanding today. Still not sure on play-offs but Jacko has to get the job.. if we can get another run together, who knows.3

We should not fear any team in this league when we have our full fit team out like tonight.
Pearce has resurrected himself, Famewo makes oppos look like children the way he brushes past them. Purrington having the season of his life. Clare slotted into the right back role and made it his own above 2 internationals.
McGillvaray looks commanding.
Dobson has transformed into league one Makele. Gilbey and Lee creative sparks and twisting and terrifying defenders.
Stockley the battering ram leader whilst Washington plays like Aguero off him and doesn't stop running until his feet have eroded to stumps.
When arguably the best player we have in Leko comes on and is kept our the side by a DJ who has upped his game and work ethic beyond belief then something is clearly working and is a delight to witness as we bully, harass and outplay supposedly superior sides with consummate ease in front of superb support home and away.
All led by Jacko and Euell who have found the magic formula to orchestrate and elicit the above.
Brilliant.41 -
Great performance, and looked like we could have scored more and more as the game went on!
needed the second, but we fought all over the pitch valiantly!
only negatives for me were purrington (at times) and leko! Purrington kept leaving himself so exposed - fair play he’s having luck pushing forward but against such pacey wingers he just couldn’t keep up and left vast gaps behind him!
Leko just looked so disinterested and bored, didn’t show for the ball and didn’t want to run it seemed! CBT missed sorely1 -
Absolutely buzzing, second half was as good as it gets without actually scoring a hat full. Some blinding team work and whilst there were many top performances Gilby for me MOM.1

But they never had a shot on target…how can you say they could have beaten us 5-6 😉SE7toSG3 said:Magnificent, one of those nights under the lights you will remember that, our midfield completely bossed it. Their keeper was superb and prevented it being 5-6.
No-one will want to come to the Valley as we are currently, Jacko and Jason have turned a bemused looking group of individuals into a top 6 side.
Confidence, hunger, belief and a good amount of talent, loving going to the football at the moment and can't wait for Saturday.4 -

I’m buzzing after that - should have been a 5 or 6 nil win - Ipswich impressive away following, but they were so let down by an inept team - sat in upper Covered End tonight - first time up there - took my Wife - we were near drummers - she loved it - bring on Cambridge Saturday
MoM - tough one - so I choose multiple - Akin, Washington, Pearce, Gilby, Purrington3 -
Bloody good that.1

The first 20 minutes were so scrappy but suddenly it changed....or at least Charlton did; I think Ipswich stayed at the same level! I was amazed how poor they were, having half-expected a caretaker manager bounce. Our performance has been documented enough in this thread and I can only reiterate how good Washington and Gilbey were today, and the entire team deserves credit.

Think that I can narrow that down for you to Washington, Pearce and Gilbey.Lordflashheart said:I’m buzzing after that - should have been a 5 or 6 nil win - Ipswich impressive away following, but they were so let down by an inept team - sat in upper Covered End tonight - first time up there - took my Wife - we were near drummers - she loved it - bring on Cambridge Saturday

Yeah I was apologising to my brother for bringing him to a crap game after 20 minutes. The remaining 70 minutes, pretty much from when I said it, were an exhibition of tractor disassemblyBangkokaddick said:The first 20 minutes were so scrappy but suddenly it changed....or at least Charlton did; I think Ipswich stayed at the same level!

Did Edwards touch the ball from them. Genuinely thought they were substituting the sub until someone mentioned he started. Did absolutely nothing.0

Bit of both.AFKABartram said:Those watching on TV, we’re we wasteful in front of goal of did their keeper have a worldy?4 -
I don't know if the Ipswich players are happy or upset that Cook and his coaches were sacked. They certainly didn't play like a team really up for the battle, or wanting to support the caretaker.0
-
great team performance - a shame stockley and pearce missed the last 2, we wouldn't have dropped the points - Gilbey MOTM - his workrate and running power is off the charts - been really impressed by him this season - looking forward to Saturday - don't want to tempt fete but reckon we are due a hat full of goals at some point0

That was one great game of footy under the Valley lights,but for Walton there could have been at least 3 goals of the season in some of that play,Stockley,DJ,Dobson & Washy all showing some neat tekkers,with the flicks & backheels it was just brilliant to watch,everyone from the tea lady right up to JJ at the helm are now putting a proper shift in for our CAFC,TS sign him up…he is our wheel
Big up to the VFR faithful,at it right from the start…we are the 12th man in games like that…
1 bug I have is,why has Dobbo not got a song yet…
He is here,He is there ,He is every fucking where…Super George,Super George…!!!8 -
Best home performance by a country mile this season3

I assume Nsiala is the one their fans were having a go at after the final whistle. A couple of them were so angry they ran on the pitch tooLeuth said:0 -

Bonne was awful tbf. Spent the whole first half offside, then second half his passing was woeful.Leuth said:3 -
There were a lot of big shifts out there tonight - player marks/statbank is going to make interesting reading.Fantastic for Jacko
Well done to the lads, and great support from us.The Tractors sang that our support was ******* ****yet, as soon as they went behind, it all went quiet in their end.1 -
Ipswich fans on the train said it should have been five. Shell shocked.0

Does Bonne look like he is carrying a bit of timber ?1

We’ve seen enough of Lecko to know he’s the real deal. Sure he took time to get going, but that burst into the box followed by a great shot that the keeper somehow saved was a glimpse of what he can do.lancashire lad said:Great team performance, I guess it must be difficult coming on as a sub but not impressed with Leko.11 -
To be fair to him, he had no service all game.king addick said:
They looked pretty at times but had no end product and they were dreadful.2 -
Pretty well a complete performance, must say although I knew this squad was better than we saw under Adkins, they have far exceeded expectations. If we hadn’t wasted a quarter of the season, well who knows.We had a wobble at Morecambe and Shrewsbury, but got it right tonight…over to you Thomas.0

Side note, and May have been mentioned elsewhere, but thought the unexpected (? I wasn’t expecting it anyway!) impromptu tribute to Arthur (RIP) was excellent and great how long the applause went on for - I was particularly glad it went on for a long time because aside from anything else, I thought we were giving a heroes welcome to Leko warming up for the first 10 seconds of it 😬!4
