    Just how can inniss and lavelle  produce such turd performances against league 1 teams  then roll out that sort of show against a premier league team? Hopefully use this as a platform to push on this season but much prefer to see them in a back 3 than on their own!

  • That’s was a fantastic night. 
    Atmosphere was top class, the boys put one hell of a shift in and the drama of pens .
    Still on cloud 9. 
  • A great night. My boy's first midweek game. Lots of youngsters in tonight what with it not being a school night - kid for a quid paid off - hopefully plenty of new converts.

    Any home tie in the next round.

    Anyone think Brighton might have appointed a bit of a dud in their new manager? Can't see him being there long

    to all the Debbie Downers and nay sayers....support your fcuking team!!!!.....easy for me to say 3,000 miles away :) but I did buy a Charlton TV season pass and watch every game
  • First game at the Valley since before lockdown - biggish crowd great atmosphere and just really enjoyable to be distracted from the circus going on behind the scenes and watch a game where to a man we never gave up and gave the crowd something to get behind like the old days under the lights.

    Just back home. What an evening.

    When this club looks like it’s on its knees it always finds a way to drag itself back.

    So proud of our academy players in particular today. Ness did an absolute number on Lallana, Chin was superb second half when they switched to target him, Miles put himself about against two very good defenders and AMB without a doubt stole the show.

    Level & Innis played ok against B.Rovers it was just 2 bits of poor defending that let them down. They couldn't pass the ball out of defence tonight as they would have been closed down even faster. 

    They are both decent League 1 defenders - just some posters like to rip players to shreds.

    And although this result has nothing to do with Thomas Sandgaard, imagine spending millions, only to be so pig headed you ignore feedback from people who have more experience than you and having to miss this for fear of being abused.

    If he’s looking for someone to blame, I’d recommend finding a mirror big enough for his ego and having a long, hard stare.

    I bet you didn't back it!!
  • One in the eye for those who LOL'd me for predicting a win. I told you so and what's more if we are drawn at home in the next round we will win that too.

    Battery low so might cut out before finishing this post.

    Great shift put in by all the lads tonight. Midfield were exceptionally brilliant with Dobbo & Fraser snapping at heels all game. Disappointed with the "strikers".....and I use that term rather loosely as none got anywhere near getting a shot off towards their goal. And the less said about Aneke the better. I saw him at half time & he was lethargically going through the warm up drills. My patience has finally ended with him.

    Glad for both sons who were there with me tonight. First time they have seen us beat a Premier League side. Now just wondering who we will get on the quarter finals and whether is worth schlepping up to Manchester or Liverpool in a few weeks time. But knowing us it will be Wolves away

    On the train home, without voice and feeling drained, but fecking happy.

    There are some nights down the valley that are just special. Tonight wasn't like the Cardiff game under SCP all those years ago, and I wasn't at any of the playoff games recently. But the energy and emotion from our support was exceptional. THAT was Charlton support at its best. 
    We were loud, and relentless. Brighton were incredibly quiet all game. We didn't give them space to make any noise. Lookimg around from the upper covered end, both the AC stand and lower west were invested and engaged with the energy created. 

    I danced amd hugged strangers when Lavelle smashed home the winner. I had a bunch of top fellas sitting around me. 

    I'll comment on the game tomorrow, it's inconsequential right now. Tonight was about finding our spirit again. And we done that in spades. 
    I do want to say thank you to @Fanny Fanackapan, who I had the honour of catching up again pre game. Always a absolute pleasure. 

    What a night!! COYR's!!

    Just got home.
    What a night, just when I thought all was lost and I really didn’t want to go.. this club yet again reminds me why it’s so special. 

    These players, although they are lacking in areas, you can’t fault their fight and it’s the best I’ve seen us defend all season. 
    Glimpses of the Play off semi’s in 2019.. not the importance, just the feel leaving the ground.

    Well done Anthony Hayes. Everything stacked against you and you got those lads to put in a performance full of fight. Glad he’s staying on.
    Will enjoy tonight and look forward to Boxing Day.
