    That was an excellent performance in a very tight game, either side could have won it but we looked more certain at the back with Jones and Mitchell outstanding. The last ditch header away by Edwards and the saving tackle by Ramsey were highlights but the two centre backs won everything in the air. Midfield worked hard but didn't seem to want to push on, maybe because of Campbell not being able to find space. 
    I don't think Wigan could have won it. On the very rare occasion they got a sight of goal there was a defender there to deal with it. Aside from a deflected shot wide we dealt with everything before they even got the shot away. Wigan were tidy and had a lot of the ball but that back 5 weren't letting them near it today
    You are forgetting Ramsey's saving tackle and Edwards saving diving header. Both sides created little, Jones finish is great but it comes from a mistake by there defender in misjudging the bounce, we didn't make that sort of mistake and probably deserved to win it on that stat alone. 
  • Our borrowed dongle didn't let us down ! Will be investing in our own very soon....although Mr F says he's always had one .... B)

    Feck off Sky ! 

    LOVE Lloydy & Nathan ! Can never have too many Jonesies!
  • Edwards MOTM…saved us at least 3 times

    Far from an ‘ugly performance’ albeit very assured and tight defectively - not much magic going forward however! 

    Not sure who’s more frustrating - Winger Tyreece Campbell or Striker Tyreece Campbell, just didn’t seem to get much today and felt for Ahadme who looks like he needs a more solid and ‘blue ass fly’ strike Partner - Kanu or Leaburn could work well! 

    Edward : what a player! 
    Campbell deserves a run of games at centre forward. Even on a slight off day his extra pace gave all our players a bit more space and time.
  • Pretty tight game with not a lot of attacking quality on show by either team but they made a costly mistake and we didnt. Dont think Wigan were much to talk about at all but Ramsay put in an incredible tackle to keep it level then once we finally made some subs the tide shifted a bit and they made an error.

    Jones seems to have set us up to be hard to beat primarily which im happy with after years of soft defending and even softer goals but we'll need more creativity in the final third if we wanna push for promotion.

    A solid but not inspiring win. Up the Addicks.
  • Nice init?

  • What a monumental fuck up from Sky…..mind you, the commentator for our game was top class.
    Thought he was biased, but better than I expected.

    I'm not, I covered them when I said that we dealt with everything before they got the shot away. That's the point, it's all very well Wigan trying to create but we were so organised and had such good shape that we didn't even let those chances register as shots on goal. It's not like we lived dangerously, even in their best passages Wigan found themselves unable to trouble Mannion. You can't win if you can't even get a shot away.
  • We had a plan.... And it worked for once!
    Keep it tight for 70+ minutes and start to turn the screw in the latter stages
    Long may it continue.
    Hopefully home games will offer a little more endeavor. But it's all about the result.
    Getting out of this shit pit was never going to be pretty 
  • Got a lot to improve on but result wise it's the perfect start. 
  • It was a very Meh game, honestly made me tired, but most importantly, we got 3 points and a clean sheet. Biggest issue I see this season is there is no creativity. 
  • Play shit and win.

    The Curbishley mantra.
  • HMS PISS THE LEAGUE has successfully launched down the ramp and is safely on the water.

    it was similar to the back end of last season when we had a similar issue. Maybe the likes of Godden, Berry & Small might be able to offer us more creativity compared to the 3 who started. 
    Most of us probably think that will only be resolved by signing a midfield who has that quality. All very much a wait and see until window slams shut. 
  • Wigan had way more shots than us (13-4) BUT we had more shots on target (3-1), so it's a deserved win, rather than a lucky one.

    Our defence did an excellent job at blocking their shots and heading it away 
    Yep, we had the better 2 chances and took 1. Big win and hopeful something to build on. I expect berry to play over Anderson at home or the lesser opposition
  • We didn't really offer much in the final third and on another day could have conceded but for some excellent interventions from both our fullbacks and a bit of luck that their sub fluffed his header straight into mannions arms. Clean sheet on the road and 3 points though so job done.
  • V pleased!
