Reminds me of Leaburn scoring in the last minute against Norwich to draw us level at 4-4 after going 4-2 down with 5 minutes left! Anyone else at that game?
I think what that second half showed is how much we just need to simplify things in the final third. Aneke obviously makes a huge difference but you can’t tell me Stockley, however poor his form has been, wouldn’t be more of a threat with a few more balls into the box like we put in second half. We have to find that way to transition from patient build up to being quicker and more direct once we’re within 40 yards of goal.
Worried about the defence with O’Connell and Innis missing, and Wollacott seems to have caught Charltongoalkeeperitis whe it comes to stopping long shots, but we’ll park that for now.
What a game and great belief and determination to get back into it twice.
So great for Dobbo to be the one who got the winner.
I admit to leaving early. However to watch the crowing tractor boys who left early at the station silenced as the news came through was hilarious. Loads of old boys like me giving them some proper South London banter 😂
Especially pleasing after being hampered by two early injuries. Brilliant fight back. Thought our body language looked like we were dead and buried at 2-3, but some how we kept going despite conceding another. Morgan, Fraser and Dobson really looked up for it, but I think it was the Chuks Blackett-Taylor double sub that gave us the belief.
Missed Thomas' goal but fortunately hadn't gotten past the concourse so was back for the bedlam at the end. Fantastic spectacle and great spirit shown by the team.
We scored 4 goals without Stockley on the pitch, he is so ineffective it's criminal. Our defence is terrible and I thought Clare followed up a poor performance out of position with an equally poor one in position.
Fraser, CBT and Aneke unplayable today. Utterly superb.
Garner not holding back in his criticism of the ref.
Good on him. The referees need holding to account. Absolutely shocking
Completely agree. Will be worth whatever fines are forthcoming but that ref need d to hear the truth. Desperate to be centre of attention shown by how many cards in what was largely a clean game.
I stayed to clap the lads for the effort they put in and a brave defeat against a decent side and a ref who might as well have been wearing a blue shirt. Good decision it turned out.
Chuks and Blackett-Taylor were the catalysts and the difference for us, but JRS, with nothing going his way at all...something flicked in his brain and he was as instrumental as anyone in helping drag us back into it. A monumental shift, defensively too - he left it all out there. Amazing to see from a player both so young and on loan
Dobbo looks nothing like a footballer. He’s got that slight hunch back and slightly ungainly gait. When I hear him interviewed he always puts me in mind of a young assistant on a green grocer’s market stall. What a player he’s turned into for us though.
“He’s the one I’d have had in my squad”. High high praise from Lord Llewelyn.
Sorry to say I left at 2-4. I hadn’t heard the third go in so when I heard the last I thought it was only 3-4. Could not believe it when someone said it’s now 4-4.

So great for Dobbo to be the one who got the winner.
Even once it went 4-2 I didn't want to leave as I thought we'd done pretty well so deserved an applause.
What a game. Incredible. They worked their nuts off.

How could any team blow a 2 goal lead starting from the 93rd minute
