  • A good day at the office - TC back on form, Anderson very good and looked more composed, Leaburn looking really up for it and everybody else continuing their good form and putting last week's deflater at Birmingham behind them. Bums on seats was much more like it and crowd will continue to grow with the 3pm ko's and good performances. Real competition in virtually every department of the pitch now. Only an injury to a key player can derail us now. Jones, TC and Small will be hard to replace, then Coventry in order of importance to the way we play. Ramsey is a fantastic player but lose one of those 4 will be hard to recover from.   
  • Birmingham will hopefully soften Orient up on Tuesday at St Andrews. Apparently Stansfield is back for that one.
    It seems like the O’s have played a lot recently. Hopefully they’re out of gas by Saturday.

    Impressed by us, but Exeter were pretty poor. It was nice of them to play Josh Magennis's old slower brother instead yesterday. Only player of theirs that I thought was any good was their 21 Trevitt - I have just looked him up and see he is a Brentford loanee.
  • One of Exeter’s subs looked like Mitch from modern family, which provided some entertainment in the second half. 
  • who did the assist for Miles's goal, I think it was Small but not sure

    Kayne Ramsey
  • I also have another tactical insight about us!! I am a little concerned that Josh Edwards often gets exposed one on one with the opposing winger. He is a good full/wing back. but several times today there were no other Charlton defenders/ midfielders supporting him. I have always felt that to stop dangerous crosses coming into the box, you should generally have two defenders against one. We tend to have that down the other side of the pitch with the Ramsay/Small combination, but who is Edwards support player? I don't really want to see Macca dragged out of the center, so should it be Tyreece, but I don't want to see him lose his attacking threat. Josh often deals with the situation, but a couple of times crosses did come in, and against more potent opposition this may be an issue. 
    Perhaps Jones thinks its risk and reward, but it is a concern for me.
    If Berry was more mobile it could be him
  • Going up or not, would be surprised to see Ramsay with us next year, he just oozes quality all the time pretty much 
  • This week's outlier in the player marks thread @Viewfinder. Slow day for me but genuinely interested in any rationale for these marks?
        
    Whatever the opposite of rose tinted glasses is.

    If Birmingham do a number on Orient like they did to us last week, they could be facing us off the back of a couple of defeats. Going to be an absolute slobberknocker of a game next Saturday!
    You're right, a real clamdangler of a game!
    I think it could even be a Kurtwangler of a match.
  • Was in Bushes Bar early doors not sitting in my usual seat as some tourists had nabbed them. Himself banged out the Welsh national anthem to the locals delight and then that was it from him, poor lad.
    From 3 o’clock I kept checking my mobile.
    My school best friend twin daughters and their friend were with us, the friend is a Gooner, she kept checking her mobile too…….she wasn’t happy.
    3 nil……….couldn’t believe it! And we won the triple crown!
    Happy Smudge 😎🤗😘😘
  • Great win and I’m pretty sure we’ll make the play off final and lose on penalties , we’ve used all our lifetime’s worth of play off final luck up in 1987-1998-2019 
    it’s unbelievable how we have one from so piss poor to absolutely rock solid and good , a transformation that I didn’t think was possible .
    going in to games expecting a result now is an unfamiliar feeling , long may it continue !
    Oh fuck !!! I’m always overly optimistic but now you are as well !! If Golfie posts something positive now I think I have entered some kind of parallel universe lol

    whats your odds on us reaching the playoffs mate ?

    You are forgetting us getting knocked out of play-offs by Palace and Shrews, so it’s not all been plain sailing ……..
  • Entertaining for the mere fact that they didnt ease up even after 3-0. Jones and Coventry are essential to this battling character. This has Jones
  • Written all over it
