    Equals our biggest win against EFL opposition since 6-0 vs Shrewsbury in April 2023.

    Our first FA Cup win against EFL opposition in over six years, since Mansfield in a first round replay in November 2018.

    Throughly professional performance that. Hoping for the worst team possible or a big 6 team + London club away in round 3

    That’s a good result, please now take this into the league. Walsall prob better side than half our league.
    Walsall didn’t look very good today . Perhaps they were just having an off day ?
    They hadn’t lost since October and the difference in leagues isn’t big. Fair to point out earlier they rested players but I’ll take what we can at the moment.
  • The Nigels at The Valley in round 3 please.

    Well this is annoying, I’ve got to be nice to @Callumcafc until probably the Crawley result. 
    “Big” game there…

    You can’t knock a 4-0 win away from home ! Hopefully we get a great draw Monday night ! Liverpool away would be ideal for me 😜 
    Yes please.

  • To put things in perspective, they rested six players and had two subbed in 1st half including probably their best player.  Good to see our CMs kept Jamal Matt quiet, he is dangerous.

    They rested 6 of their first team, that was Walsall reserves 
    More fool them.
    Not really, they are second in the league with a game in hand, promotion is clearly more of a priority than the FA Cup so I doubt the manager and directors are bothered about getting knocked out 
    They won't be saying that if number 46 gets drawn out away to City , Arsenal , Spurs or United on Monday night...

    You can only beat whats put in front of you and thats what we did and for once, not scraping a 1-0. A professional job done.

    City away is the one I want. 

    Manchester City not Birmingham.
    Christ I think they would deal with our long balls too easily!! And the possession stats would be in the 90’s 😂 whereas I think Ahadme would have TAA in his pocket 😂 😂 😂

    Brilliant result and how very typical Charlton.
    The first game I don’t see for about a year and we win 0-4.
    I tried to watch on a couple of those links and got major virus threat warnings so gave up and did some virus/malware scans & had to remove potential threats.

    Anyway, really pleased for the fans that went, all fans, the players & the coaching team.

    It’s the hope that kills you and when you start to think you’re getting to not caring, we come up with a great result and I couldn’t be happier.
  • Am hoping this result is the spark that has them continue in regular league games, at least get us a playoff spot.

    Not convinced you could say this was the start to the weekend. I mean, I'm in Asia so its midnight on Saturday night, but in the UK it's 5pm Saturday.
    That's pretty deep into the weekend.
    @Rossman92 lives in the USA so closer to the start of the weekend there.
  • We have found our level

    Winning big away against a promotion chasing team from L2 suggest L2 is our level then, or is that just bollocks.

    Might not be popular on here but I'd keep leaburn dropped for Tuesday. Ruins our attacks by taking 10 touches before even picking his head up and rarely passes. Should play that starting team Tuesday imo. COYR

    They made six changes from midweek but not the same as six first team players rested.

    They actually rested Lakin and Jellis against Bromley in midweek and brought both back into their starting line up today. Plus their captain and main centre back made his first start after an injury.

    So probably three players missing from their best XI. One of those three came on as a sub (Matt) and still couldn’t score.
    Good point. You could effectively say we rested Leaburn, Jones, Ramsay and Mannion because they all would have been first picks.
    Excellent result and a performance to boot.
  • So we beat Wallsall reserves! Does this mean we're not shit anymore?
