Shef Wed 1 CAFC 2 Post match comments

I still can't believe we did it, i spent the last 10 minutes laying on the floor not being able to watch, Hamer man of the match for the double save and then that amazing save at the end.

MASSIVE MASSIVE WIN! ;-)

we are going to have so many games in hand soon ... but it won't matter because we are staying up and going to wembley :-)

a total turd of a season---potless---hopeless and now 90 mins from Wembley !! FSS only at CAFC.

anyone who predicated two wins from these last 3 days FFS do the lottery NOW.

did it cross the line? looks like it from this angle, but maybe the lino couldn't see it...who the hell cares, we're through - BOOM!

No it didnt... thats not even on the line

Watched my first live game for ages, what a treat.

Finally able to give out some informed opinions on players!

Hamer - Fantastic, rode his luck at times but great.
Wilson - Not really convinced he is a right-back but battled well.
Morrison - Outstanding leader.
Wood - Superb foil and nice left-foot, need to get him feeding AA as we go from defence to attack.
Fox - Did well for such a youngster.
Cousins - Worked hard but not the sort of game he will shine in.
Poyet - Some nice touches but also showed his inexperience with some needless fouls.
Jackson - Captain Fantastic, wanted the ball when nobody else did at times - great bit of skill by the touchline in 1st half.
Harriott - Great goal and first half, faded after the break but came alive again on right.
Adjarevic - Class player but if he is going to play that '10' role then we need to feed him properly, no use to him if the ball is pumped forward.
Church - Star Man. Has his critics but worked his bollocks off and always looked dangerous on the break - none of our other forwards could have done what he did for us tonight.

Cannot see us going down with this sort of spirit in the squad.

Finally, whilst I appreciate it has been a really frustrating season I think that those folks calling for Powell's head need to have a good look at themselves.

The bloke has been working with both hands tied behind his back for 18 months since Cash pulled the pin and its only recently that the ship has been stabilized and can start to be re-floated.

To judge Powell on this season would be like condemning the Chef in a vegetarian restaurant because he isn't serving steak - utterly pointless.

Finally with AA and Reza we have some quality up top and can start to threaten other teams rather than look for smash and grab wins.

Have to admit I wasnt massively impressed with Fox tonight... although it was a tough place for him to make his debut so not bothered and after reading about him in the Programmes over the last few years (almost being let go a couple of times) he's one player I really am pleased to see make his debut

Finally from me... this is what it means to support a team like Charlton and is why I pity the fans of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea... Days like today dont come along very often for us and when they do we've just gotta savor them and enjoy the moment

Some Twitter comments...

Poyet... What an ugly game of football! Massive win for us, great for everyone involved with the club to be in the quarter final of the FA Cup
Harriott... Great result for us today ! Finally a pair of scoring boots haha ..fans were tremendous today on to the next now
Ajdarevic... The battle of long balls was won by us today geeeeeet in there!!!! Great support great team efort and good goals from callum and churchy!
Stephens... Well done the Charlton mob! How many appearances for a medal.

Sheffield Utd playing well at the moment. Must approach them same way we did today. Desire and fight, along with our blossoming midfield? could well see us at Wembley.

Not too sure that they're playing well seeing that they're 17th in League One and four points off the drop zone...

And there's the other club ... ;-)

Brilliant result
Didn't think we played as well as we could , we didn't need to , I'd forgotten how much of a carthorse of a defender Llera was , proper pony
we got the decisions from the ref tonight not least the spongearm of God easing it home
unlike others i thought Hamer had one of his worse games tonight and was flapping and fumbling soooo much , he then produces a wooooorldy at the end and we go thru !!!
seeing SCP do the chin up on the crossbar was a classic and there is no one in the world i want managing us more than that fella
and fairplay to the travelling few , made good noise and another proper loooooopy loop when the goals went in

30% Losing 1/4 Finalists 61% Losing Wemberlee Semi Finalists 8% FA Cup Runners Up 1% FA Cup Winners 2014 lol

double post

WHAT A WIN!

Not according to Fox. We had at least 8 on traget as far as I remember, and I think tbey said they matched us. Trust the BBC mode though.

There's something the Wednesday manager could never say.
