    Think we missed Berry, he's anonymous a lot of the time, quietly and effectively goes about his business.
    Maybe but Gilbert is decent and had another good game. 
    I must have been at a different game because I thought Gilbert was gash. Especially his deadball routines. In fact our midfield 3 were about as creative as a dead slug. I'd drop Docherty & play Anderson,  and Berry (if fit) for Gilbert. 

    And I know why people usually disagree with me because if you sit in the Covered End lower you cant see from the 6 yard line to the goal line. I know I'm short & would probably help being 6ft 2 but even with everyone sitting down the view is poor. Never sat there before & never will again. AC stand everytime. 
    Very weird comment. Gilbert was MOM, no doubt.
    Gilbert had a very good game
    Yep he was class first half for sure 
  • We're getting caned by the err footballing public on the BBC Comments page, Nathan in particular.

    We know and he knows that we haven't won anything yet but after enduring the crap we've faced over the last six years explains our sheer bloody relief tonight that we are hopefully on our way back.
    Well done boys. 
    Sincerely? Fuck 'em!!
    Yes a lot of posters (not Wycombe) criticising Charlton supporters for the pitch invasion  :D:D:D & to be fair most of the Wycombe supporters were saying the best team won & were criticising their own manager for their dreadful "style" of football.
    The Wycombe fans at the station afterwards were remarkably relaxed about the defeat. You'd have thought they'd just lost a game in mid November.

    Hopefully he can turn some people’s opinions round like Gillesphey did. Bit like turning an oil tanker. 
  • Seems like most of the EFL hates Nathan Jones from the comments I'm seeing elsewhere.

    What do they know. Feck ‘em. Got to love his passion.

    Incidentally, haven’t seen a replay yet, but did Lloyd Jones bring that ball down from Gillesphey‘s pass to set up the winner? Wasn’t sure if it hit the defender. If it was Jones it was sheer class.

    May I be the first to say Jones out!

    Crawley home game, how many can admit to saying get rid of him.
    A poll should be started.
    Guilty as charged.

    Me too…along them lines,more go than stay…I did admit a few games after that I had maybe got it wrong.,.& boy I did didn’t I…🤡
  • I am absolutely delighted for Nathan Jones, what a fantastic redemption story.

    When he came to us he was close to untouchable, he had failed miserably at Stoke and Southampton, and was basically publicly humiliated at the latter.

    Making things worse, his former club, Luton Town, were now in the Premier League and doing very nicely indeed without him, thank you very much.

    Then we came calling, we were at the lowest ebb of our modern history, flailing around the lower reaches of League One, and Jones was about as desirable in managerial terms as a pork roast at a Bar Mitzvah - but we were perfect for each other.

    Charlton needed someone who was desperate enough to give us everything they had and Jones needed someone to give him one more chance to prove that what he had done at Luton was no fluke, and that he had real managerial ability.

    As the great Lennie Lawrence once said when asked what sort of players he liked to sign, anger and hunger are the two biggest motivating forces you will ever find, Jones was angry about the treatment and abuse he had received and as hungry as anyone could ever be to prove himself.

    Who cares what anyone else thinks about him? It is absolutely wonderful to have a man running our club who cares so passionately about what he does and doesn't care who sees it, it's not done for effect, it's done because it's who he is.

    Just one more game to win to complete one of the greatest comebacks for both Nathan Jones and our club.



    And while he wouldn't have wanted Luton relegated again, if we win at Wembley them being a division lower than him would be professionally very satisfying.

  • Just find a way to win and we did. Great night at a packed Valley. Only 2 hours left til I'm home. Happy Days, can't wait for Wembley.

    I think they came resigned to going out. Should read their match thread. Mostly arguing about how Dodds has turned them from a free scoring team to not now having scored in nearly 500 minutes, how the Chairman effectively forced Bloomfield out, how the Chairman has cocked it up, the fact that none of the starting eleven tonight should be there next season. They are not happy bunnies. A fair few said we deserved to go through but more because they were awful as opposed to us being any good.
