    Wrong, but you're obviously excited at the thought that there might be.

    Highlights make it look they were all over us. Couldn't be further from the truth. Honestly one of the best away performances I've seen from us.

    Credit must go to the management for sussing out a system that accomodates Jackson, Cousins and Diarra in midfield. Theyre not going to skin anyone but physically they are capable of winning the ball.

    Lookman was a good outlet and found space well. Scouts will have noted the maturity of his play.

    Vaz Te was a handy man to bring on. Despite a lack of sharpness, he displayed a degree of nous.

    Id still be concerned that we dont close shots with enough urgency (I'm no fan of the hands behind back approach employed by Sarr and Bauer) but the ability to nip the ball away from the striker is there.

    Henderson....as he did last season...makes a huge difference.

    Cant believe the highlights don't show Jackson's chance in the first half.

    Through on goal but instead of shooting squares it...but gets intercepted

    Fantastic result - well done lads, brilliant.

    Love Jacko to bits.

    Belgians out !

    So buzzing with that great result. 3 points most important thing. Now hopefully start looking up the table. Results like this and Wednesday proves our league position really doesn't represent our league position.

    What does it represent then?

    Great result and sounds like we deserved it. Feels good to be out of the bottom three.

    "Whether it is called interim or permanent will not effect me. The board make the decisions. We were aware that Birmingham struggle at home when they try to be dominant. Without playing defensively we tried to put together a good organisation.
    "Our win over Sheffield Wednesday a fortnight ago gave us confidence to withstand some difficult moments. Both teams had their chances and we managed to take one when our skipper Johnnie Jackson scored.
    "We know the qualities of our captain. He is a real leader and we get along really well. It was only his fifth game of the season and it was his third goal which makes him our leading goalscorer.
    "The back-to-back wins are vital after that disastrous performance at Middlesbrough. No one wanted to be part of the dressing room. They were so down at that moment but after turning the corner against Sheffield Wednesday two weeks ago it gave us a huge boost not to be in the same situation again."

    Terrific performance from a team rejuvenated after the Luzon fuck up .. Jackson .. what can you say .. terrific cross from Holmes - Dennis ..will Solly get back in ? .. Lookman .. how long can we keep him ?, better than Sterling already ? ((:>) .. Henderson, MOM .. kept us in the game early on .. I could go on but haven't got the time or patience to state the bleedin' obvious .. I'm in my Fort Dunlop, Birmingham, 10th floor hotel room, almost overlooking the huge Land Rover/Jaguar Castle Bromwich manufacturing facility with a BIG smile on my face .. if this winning/success streak continues .. all you miserable, long faced, want us to lose CAFC 'fans' might have to eat a large portion of Umble Pie .. or are y'all praying for failure ?

    I thought we played pretty well today. Though it was quite a tight match, I imagined it to be a harder game for us. As it turned out we played some neat football, kept our shape and competed for the full 90 minutes, definitely a big step forward compared to the end of Luzon's tenure. Birmingham kept the ball well, and seemed to have the lions share of the possession and created a few good chances but they didn't look convincing for long periods. As the game wore on I had a suspicion we might nick it. Whilst I was very pleased for Jacko getting his goal, I feel both Lookman and Holme-Dennis should take some credit for both being involved in the move. I think a few more games for each of them and they'll start to show what they are really about, they both look very promising.

    Does anyone know why the brum fans were applauding after 21 or 22 minutes? I know it was the anniversary of the Birmingham bombing, but I thought that was an evening.

    No Moussa today injured or just couldn't get into the 18?

    Whoever it is, it sounds like Birmingham were well scouted.

    We started brightly looking for an early goal and dominating the opening period. Brum seemed happy to concede possession but looked threatening down our left with Gray their main concern. Lookman grasped his full debut with both hands and gave those ex Addicks warhorses Morro and Spector plenty to think about. He got a couple of decent efforts away after creating space for himself and was unlucky with the final ball with a couple of attempted assists. A couple of nervy moments from Henderson when he came for the ball but we survived and were unlucky not to go in in front at half time.

    Second half Brum played with more purpose no doubt following a Rowett tongue lashing. We still threatened however with Diarra providing the platform by breaking up play ably assisted by Cousins and the Skipper. The back four had their moments with THD acquitting himself well again and Sarr, despite the odd miskick that never led to anything bad this week, putting in another solid display. Up front Big Mak toiled and was average but nevertheless an important cog in the wheel for his presence and awkwardness.

    The goal was well worked with Lookman picking up the ball on the right 25 yards out and some good intetplay with THD who put in a peach of a cross with his wrong foot for YOU KNOW WHO to bury with aplomb sending the travelling hardcore (who were brilliant in their support from start to finish) delirious with a chorus of 'How Sh1t must you be we're winning away!'

    Two wins on the spin doesn't change things regarding the owner and CEO's contempt for the fans but it is nice to be out of the bottom three and see the team playing with spirit under the leadership of JJ well supported by senior pros Diarra and Hendo.

    Wasn't a stand out had his hands full with the opposite attributes of the awkward BiG Mak and silky / tricky Lookman. If I was marking him did ok so 6/10. Got a good reception from us when his name was read out before the KO.

    Permission to go off thread sir! Ademola Lookman - sign him up on a long term contract immediately. Or is he still to young?

    Ditto for THD.

    lol .. you'd have to be here to experience it .. Brum aint London .. there is a LOT of high value manufacturing done around here in clean and modern environments .. BUT .. the Brum traffic is absolutely f***ing HORRENDOUS .. I enjoy my away days/weekends very much in the 'glamlorous' north and midlands .. but really I'd rather be in lovely Woolwich, Catford or even ... glamorous Bexleyheath or Dartford
    .. (if you believe the last sentence .. lol .. you'll believe Anything ... have a nice weekend wherever you may be)

    rather as he did for us .. wholehearted but vulnerable to pace and in the air .. still cant pass to save his life .. on today's ratings, Saar (gets better every game) (even though I cant spell his name) and the ever excellent/improving Bauer are a BIG improvement

    He's wrong that it's the best bit, but some people on here want us to lose. It's clear as day they want us to lose so this interim manager isn't made permanent, despite some strong results.
    Any chance Charlton supporters can enjoy the first away victory positively since a long time without backbiting ?
    Nope, not the Charlton way.

    P.S it was the first away win this season.

    Sorry Guy, but it does tend to help if you scout the opposition from time to time. It's no wonder teams sussed us out towards the end of his tenure if we never put any thought into how they might play

    Well played Charlton, Such a better team with Diarra in the middle. A massive well done too Jacko on 50 goals, Lookman sounded pretty good as well.
