    Great thing about keeping clean sheets, you can't lose and you only have to score one to win!

    Hope the focus is on obtaining that magical 40-50% clean sheet number throughout the season. Do that and we'll be right up there. 

    A long way to go but on first showing, makes such a difference to have aggressive defenders rather than passive ones. I hope this is the season that highlights just how ineffective some of our past ones have been. 

    Agree we still need a little more quality, and I'm really yet to see a justification for Ahadme's £1 mil price tag, although not to say he's been bad. 

    Excellent start, up the Addicks
    Hang on! We've paid a million on one player?!

    That's how it was reported in some places, bur I'm guessing it'll eventually come out that it's only the potential fee if various clauses are activated.

    Similar happened with Coventry. Rumoured £1m fee. Cawley confirmed we got him on a free with a big sell on clause %.

    Thierry Small might struggle for minutes if Edwards can play like that most weeks. Don’t think any of us predicted saying that in May
    Edwards proved he is an excellent full back today.
    But he did nothing really as a wing back leaving Campbell completely unsupported on the left side of the attack.
    We got a good result today without creating any real chances after the Docherty one at the start.
    Slightly alarming to see NJ say that 1-0 is the best result in football. I would prefer 3-0 myself, or even 3-1.
    But it looks like a season of attrition ahead.
  • Good win. Wigan were no slouches but had no real firepower. A win, a clean sheet, away from home against a good team. What’s not to like! 
  • Job done, on to the next. 👍🏻
  • So... where do we find N Jones post match interviews now there is no Charlton TV? And when?
  • Ref pulled up every little niggle and was whistle happy...except for our throw ins, a pretty large percentage of which would have been blown up for in a kids Sunday morning match.

    Did he say that?  I know Lloyd Jones said it in his post match interview, but I don't remember NJ saying it.  As a defender who scored the winning goal, 1-0 probably is the best the result in football.

    No absolutely not
  • Dad said post match, sound a bit like a SCP result. 1-0 to the Londoners! Not always pretty but if we build a fortress at the back, that's all we'll need.

    My memories still hark back to last seasons early forays with an unconvincing 1-0 against Orient folllowed by dross.

    Much better will be needed, because as we get fitter, sharper and better, so will the other teams.

    Happy? Abso-bloody-lutely!

    Well done NJ, the team, coaches, and the fans, who could be heard singing all game.

  • Perfect start to the season. Had a good feeling for 3 points before game but didn't expect the clean sheet. 

    Only one game in, but the new defence this season looks like they won't roll over and concede as easily as last season. 
  • Can't help feeling, if Edwards is not getting forward, he should be LCB in front of Gilly, freeing up some space perhaps for a Prem loanee.
  • So, was it as mildly great as it sounds..?

    Does anybody know why N.Jones was near the corner flag before being carded?
    On comms they said because he was going nuclear because we let their winger have a shot 😂
