    Game changing sub from Jones ..he deserves a lot of credit 
    Hardly. He deliberately went defensive at the end of normal time with his subs, and we still conceded anyway. Then waited until the end of extra time to try and change things. Indeed he probably only brought Ahadme on to take a penalty.

    At least we didn't suffer the ignominy of losing to a non league club and survive to fight another day.

    Well it all makes work for the working man to do.
    (I'll be impressed if anyone manages to turn it into a chant for him)
    You never know.

    It would be glorious though.

    I could happily enjoy a reworked version going through various different players.

    I think that you may be volunteering yourself.
    Nah, contributing the odd line and nitpicking scansion is about my limit.

    Blushes saved by some proper non league goalkeeping. A totally unacceptable performance. Jones had full autonomy in the summer and has somehow built a more lightweight midfield than we had last season. 
  • Treble’s still on.
  • Names on the cup, it’s our year!!

  • On a positive note  3 Charlton strikers scored and the snakes twin for them  didn’t .
  • Quality finish.  Give that man some Chicken George.

    Wemberlee!!

    I have just checked and the 2nd round isn't played at Wembley 😕 

    BUT the Bristol street motors Trophy final is 😀


  • Decent finish! 

    Not bad from the non league donkey who's worse than hylton.

    Mannion not at fault for any of the goals but made one world class save that in the end got us through..

    Not as bad as Curbishly. Our draw against Dagenham at the Valley all those years ago.
    We went through ….eventually 
    Only just if I member  in extra time of the replay, I went to both games that was hard watching.

  • An all too rare a luxury of saying ‘just home’ 35 mins after the end of the game

    Cant actually decide whether we were our usual shit show in cups type performance or that for once we actually didn’t quite roll over and ended up nicking a very undeserved win

    Credit to Southend thought they were excellent

    Maybe it's just me,but I'm quite happy Southend gave us a game, proper club, ground and fans.
    Shit club, shit ground, shit fans.

    As Charlton fans, we all knew when we passed on a chance to make it 3-0 that it wasn't going to be comfortable. At least we won. The expected outcome was losing that on pens. It isn't a new thing, it has been going on for years. Today was better than usual.

    Listening whilst having a shower to Charlton commentary and burst in to a chorus of oooooh Gassan Ahadme oooooh Gassan Ahadme … and gave myself a couple of tugs on the the old boy to celebrate 😳
    Which old boy was on the shower with you?

    We saw last night with Huddersfield and Tamworth that these games aren't easy. Not sure why Northampton at home to Kettering is a better tie than this one was to put on tv. Surely you have to look at the lower league side playing at home.
  • This actually cheered me up after a trying day.

    I missed my flight from Copenhagen having travelled a few hours to get there, not checking the flight time. You'd think I might be a bit more organised, taking 30 odd flights a year, so I had to come back to Sweden. On the up side, another evening with the dogs and the wife, the downside a few hundred quid out of pocket.

    First world problems. 

    Ahh well Charlton beat the 'not-quite-so-mighty' Southend and the winner is scored by arguably the most unlikely scorer in the club's history! Keep it up big lad.

    In Jones we (have some) trust.
