I couldn’t be more prouder of the team yesterday. Love the fact we gave it all and even tried to go for the win and not sit back defensively. Such a shame luck wasn’t on our side on a couple of occasions.
The fact Man Utd had to put on 3 of their first team players during the game showed something. Rashford changed the game for them.
Let’s hope we can carry this forward to the rest of the season. COYR!!
3 of their best players full stop.
Very good performance and a flattering scoreline for them
Just on the train back now. I just wanted to still be in the game at half time. We were still in the game at 89 minutes and looking like the team most likely to score in the second half. So proud of all the players.
To have arguably the world's biggest club making a triple sub bring on Rashford, Casemiro & Eriksen against little league one charlton because it was only 1-0 shows they weren't comfortable with the way the 2nd half was panning out. Everyone of them can hold their heads high after that performance yesterday.
Heaton jumping up and punching the air when the second went in was embarrassing. Congratulations, you’re 2-0 up against mid table League One opposition.
I don't understand your point ? It was 1-0 in a cup tie and cafc could've fluked a goal at 1-0 down and gone to pens before Rashford continued his great scoring record. By celebrating it showed Charlton respect that they had finally got the better of a mid table League 1 team.
Well the inevitable victory for Man Utd came about…..but the 3-0 score line was very very harsh on us. The lads ran themselves into the ground and I have to say that for sheer spirit and determination that was one of the best performance’s I have ever seen.
The score line most certainly didn’t reflect the game itself. A proud day for me and I assume in saying that I speak for all of us.
Really impressed with how well we dug in. Thought out front three largely struggled against a top level back four but the defence and midfield did a great job. Dobson, Ness and Sessegnon the standout performers for me.
Ref also had a shocker but I suppose he made up for it by ignoring the blatant red card that Maynard-Brewer should have got.
Overall I really don’t think you can hope for much more out of a game like this. Hopefully everyone who was able to go had a top night and hopefully we can all remember our support tonight and the gutsy performance when things are bleak.
Free kick, certainly. Red card really would have been harsh. It was just his momentum that carried the ball out of the area. He had every right to do go for the ball in his own box.
Are we sure that to the whole ball went over the line? In the replay it looked like he let go of it just in time.
Great performance. I feel that we should have set up more defensively though. Overall, no complaints, some notable exceptional individual performances, and got the expected result.
Holden commands authority, I like it. "Look at me when talking".
I noticed that too. Exactly what I ask of my children, just as I always tell them that as long as I can see that they are trying their best, that's all that's expected. He seems to be potentially my favourite manager since Curbs, certainly since Bowyer.

Think it’s a bit harsh to say ‘fluked a goal’. We worked our socks off and broke away quite a few times. We got into their box a few times, particularly in the second half. Plus the free kicks we had, and a couple that we should have had.
But yes, the celebration showed that it wasn’t quite the routine victory they may have been expecting.
Sessegnon had a great game. Would love to make him permanent. Wasn’t out of his depth at all against some top players.
"End of the day 3-0 flattered them, Fraser takes his chance it’s game on and you can argue we are going to pens. Proud of them though and 10,000 fans up shows we are a sleeping giant, we didn't stop signing and couldn't hear United, what a fanbase we have. Some standouts in there tonight but Ness and Fraser was something else. Dean Holden got these boys playing and now are much harder to beat. We can look forward to Barnsley and I am confident we will get 3 points. Couple signings and who knows?.. most proud of been of this club for a little while now"

What a great night! Now driving back to Scotland and it’s raining yet again. But nothing could dampen our spirits. Very proud of our fans and the team. Interesting we had no yellow cards yet competed brilliantly.
Plenty of media interest to highlight the uncertainty and concerns re ownership too. Simon Stone’s preview article on the BBC yesterday read by 500K.

Mmmm...
(I hate VAR with a passion, so my comment was very tongue in cheek).

That's excellent and very respectful

Think he’s got a soft spot for us now!
