One of the most entertaining Games I have seen for a long time at the Valley. we should have been winning at Half time, missed two sitters. great performance and bloody well done 👍👍👍 Our New manager will have seen some positives from tonight’s great Victory 👌👌
If there'd been extra time instead of going straight to penalties I think the outcome would have been different.
100%. Reckon Brighton would've found a goal if they'd had another 5, 10, 15 minutes.
But them's the rules. The players gave 120 minutes of effort condensed into 90, knowing that they didn't have to worry about extra time being possible.
Can anyone who has been calling Anthony Hayes clueless apologise please. Since that abomination of the FA cup we were superb in the first half of Rovers and undone by two pieces of savage individual ineptitude and then he’s just gone and pulled this out the bag. Well played.
Yes really pleased for him. Stepped up when the club needed him, and the players have responded. I think the tactics were an essential part of this evening, considering the difference in talent. The compact shape off the ball, and the hard work showed. Even RS was back tracking regularly to help Chin out.
One or two of our forum idiots always come out with Dickhead comments from time to time. Anthony Hayes a fellow paddy stepped up to the plate and did a great job tonight. well done Anthony ☘️☘️☘️👍👍👍👍

The marquee game Man United, Liverpool/Man City These are the heavy hitters, with players you want to see in the flesh and impressive stadiums
The cup chasers Newcastle, Leicester These are, IMO, the two to avoid, they will have decent following, and are going to push hard for silverware
The potential upsets Wolves, Southampton, Nottingham Forest 3 games that arguably will have survival on their minds more than cup games
Yes, good analysis. Another home draw against one of the last three please. With this competition's format you just need home draws and defend like hell. Wolves can't score for toffee and it's do-able (it sounds crazy but no more than suggesting that we'd win tonight).
The last 20 mins the fans were sensational. With all that has been going on you sometimes forget just how loud and brilliant our support can be. I really hope we can get that kind of atmosfear back into our league games and that this is the first step to getting our great club back on track. That was proper Charlton.
Well done all!
That in itself, is the victory for all Charlton fans and its even more important
Excellent news and great to hear 👍
I watched a video earlier of Bowyer saying how great Leeds fans are. Really wound me up.
No, Leeds fans are just loud gobby northerners who have nothing else going on in their boring life apart from watching someone kick a football around
That was a proper Plan B performance. Compact at the back, and 95% of the time it was no nonsense defending. Inniss IS a good defender at this level if it's clear in his mind that his job is to defend and clear, not piss about when under pressure, as he's not good enough to play Pep football
Yes Brighton were rusty, but they created very few clear cut chances, despite the quality of Mitoma and Trossard when they came on. And the noise in the stadium swung behind us as the game went on.
To be honest, I was counting down to penalties since halftime. Perfect for us that there was no extra time, as the players were dead on their legs by the end.
Some terrible penalties from both sides, but the Stevenage win gave me confidence we could do it 😀
The linesman really didn't like Sess's legal defending tonight. He had no idea whatsoever.
Great game to watch for those who want to see this kinda atmosphere and needle at the Valley. AMB and Dobson really stood out. Ness looks calm and good.
I did my traditional "avoid the match thread if I can't legally stream it" thing, so only found out the score when my Dad phoned me up at 10 o'clock. He's a wind-up merchant, so had to get Mum to verify that we'd actually won on penalties, and couldn't believe it when I actually saw how many of them hit the woodwork (are we sure we weren't using non-regulation goals?). I think all of our fans who've trekked to games where we've crumbled under pressure earned that one tonight, and hopefully the players will take some confidence from it going forward.
For those who didn't access a dodgy stream, highlights are on ITV4 at 11pm.
highlights are on at 10.30pm tonight ITV4
Thanks @lancashire lad, you can blame my ropey eyesight and the tiny font on my on screen TV guide For that. Luckily I haven't missed it, as we're on after this ad break.

well done Anthony ☘️☘️☘️👍👍👍👍
That was a quality performance and they left it all out there on the pitch.
Now, do the same in the league and "they will come" and fill The Valley again.
Well done lads. Restored a lot of pride for us tonight.
Another home draw against one of the last three please.
