Cracking point and performance, completely different to the shambles at Southend.
I thought Harry Lennon was immense, and really put in a shift with Nabby Sarr.
Aribo looked good with Jackson beside him, Kashi doesn’t seem the player he was since he came back from his injury, he’s either still not quite fit, or knows he’s leaving at the end of the season , somethings not quite right.
Amos looked more solid, and generally the players looked up for it and knew they’d let themselves and the fans down against Southend.
Really need to get some wins strung together to get back in the top 6.
Would love for us to sign 2 decent strikers in January, and let Best and Doodo go, as we’ll be no where near the top 6 without them, will it happen who knows, but we need to start scoring goals again, and lots of them.
A proper Charlton backs to the wall no nonsense performance tonight, Best nil nil I’ve enjoyed for years, well done lads, keep it going, we need to get back to doing basics really well ,and becoming a proper football club again , from the scouting of the right sort of good players, with the right mentality and not injury prone, basicallly doing the opposite of what we’ve been doing for the last 4 years, bring on the takeover!!

Sounds like the perfect response to the Boxing Day debacle. KR obviously still got the support of the players which bodes well for the 2nd half of the season1

It's amazing how much more interested I was in the match thread knowing that Katrien's on her way.7

At the game/on the coach.
With all our injuries and woes of late, we really stepped up to the plate tonight with a fantastically hard earned point.
Now, rest and get maximum points from our next four games to put us right back in the mix.
Simple./6 -
Didn't see that result or performance coming. Well done everyone. That KR interview is indeed worth a listen1

Well done I predicted 6-0....safe journey home those that went.0

He talk a good talk, now let him back that up with a couple of home wins. No pint getting a very good point away to the League leaders only to drop points at home to 2 teams that are struggling. Obviously we wont have any new strikers in time for Gillingham but hopefully , maybe, in time for Oldham........perhaps.ForeverAddickted said:
I wasn't at the game, nor did I follow it on a live feed from Outer Mongolia, but mighty praise to the team & management for a hard fought point.
The season starts again on Monday.0 -
Delighted with that hard fought point, especially after four consecutive away defeats in a row before this match.
Listened on Valley Pass and sounded like we managed the game really well.
Hopefully this will do the teams confidence wonders with some winnerable matches coming up. Overall, extremely pleased and shows that we are capable of competing against the best teams in the league.
Finally, I have been backing Blackburn to win the title for the last three months, so even happier that we stopped Wigan getting all three points.

Be interested to learn from those who saw the game what formation we actually played - the usual 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 or even a 4-5-1?0

Very much a 4-5-10

Looked 451 to me.0

Good point - great way to stop the rot.
There are a LOT of games to go - the season is only halfway through.
Get some injured bodies back and some fresh blood - especially up front - and it is still all to play for.1 -
Just seen Robinson on Sky Sports. Although I don't like his formations or his reluctance to change it around, I do admire his honesty & his "love" for the club. They also said that there are believed to be 2 consortiums bidding for us - The Aussie one & a British based one.2

Well, if Robinson doesn't make it through a takeover, what an interview to go out on. Praised KAG and Lennon over anyone else, said he'd rather give 15 minutes to an academy player than a loanee, didn't dig anyone at the club out including Katrien and talked up Charlton as a club. Great interview, well done Karl11

Pissed off should’ve won I doubt I will ever see a bookie offer us at 9-1 again in a league match
Could’ve won a small fortune tonight had that come in0 -

Leading a women-only consortium to turn Charlton into the world's most feminist men's football club! I mean, I'd be banned from CL within two hours with 900 flags, but it's a nice thoughtWheresmeticket? said:

Jacko leadership is so key in these tough games. Especially with our injury issues, lack of other leaders and such a young side.
Well worth his place in the side (for certain games) for that alone, and from what I head his performance was more than good enough today.
When the going gets tough.....
Sooooo much man love.9 -

At the match
The weather was kind to us this side of the Pennines and there was no need for us to have worried yesterday about the match taking place with not a snow covered roof in sight. It was not freezing cold but the stiff breeze made it chillier and the pitch was quite firm
Much to my surprise a couple of names appeared on the team sheet who had been rumoured injured, namely Marshall who started RM and Ricky on the bench. Lennon came in at CB to partner Sarr with Konsa switching to RB and Dasilva LB. The other four in Midfield were JJ, Kashi, Aribo and Magennis LM. KAG was the lone front man.
Both teams started cautiously and it very much resembled a training match with little flair or goalmouth action in the first half. We contained well but offered little attacking threat with KAG chasing shadows. What chances there were, were created by the oppo as a few crosses fizzed across the six yeard box but I can't really recall Amos being unduly troubled. Kashi (harshly booked by that w*nker Kettle) was back to his more confident self and our new CB pairing mostly did ok but Sarr was playing right side and not being on his favoured side it showed occasionally. Same as Pearce, Lennon doesn't do the fancy stuff and prefers to hit it long which suited our 4-5-1 / 4-1-4-1 formation for KAG to hunt down. JJ and Aribo toiled manfully and Marshall and Josh paid more attention to the defensive responsibilities than offering much of an attacking threat. The best chance and I think our first shot of the night fell to KAG in first half stoppage time, who although reacted slowly afterJJ put him through with a ball over the top, managed to get in front of his defender but failed to work the keeper, favouring the side netting again.
Second half we seemed to start 4-4-2 with Magennis pushed up and went at them trying to take them by surprise to get our noses in front but soon we reverted to spoiling and time wasting tactics that you hate as a home fan when on the receiving end. Everyone put a shift in it wasn't pretty and at times we rode our luck but the onus was on the home team to break us down and they never lived up to my expectations of the team that tore us a new one at the Valley or the magnificent seven they racked up on Boxng day. They were mediocre to say the least. Further bookings ensued for Josh and Sarr for blatent time wasting which made the natives very restless; you're the league leaders Wigan deal with it!
Our best chances of the second period were a Kashi free kick which just missed the left hand postage stamp that he faced and a breakaway by KAG from his own half which narrowly missed the far post as he shot from an acute angle.
At the other end we had a few scary moments when Amos came past his penalty spot for an up and under got clattered but no foul given and we scrambled the ball away and a couple of balls over Lennon in the box who it transpires was injured as he could not seem to jump. Djiksteel came on for Lennon in the 80th min and did well with his height and pace, pleased for the lad. Holmes had earlier been introduced to replace Marshall on 70 neither of whom looked 100% fit. Ricky made a few trade mark runs and took one awful free kick late on in one of our few attacking plays and sent the ball over everyone for a goal kick; just get it in the mixer ffs! Five minutes injury time which we managed to see out and take a most unexpected point from the proceedings.
Two hundred plus hardy Addicks made the journey, some shorter than others for us Northern based these days, and made more noise than the home support for most of the game, well done to one and all. See you at Bury when hopefully the rest of the circus will have pulled out of town.

An unexpected, but deserved point. Great defensive work, a real gritty away day performance.
Other than a couple of KAG breakaways we posed little attacking threat. We REALLY need to do better with our set plays, our delivery tonight was rubbish.
A shame that we can produce this sort of defensive display against the leaders, but not against more “winnable “ opposition2 -
Break away was KAG not Kashi wasn't it?0
-
Absolutely thrilled with a point away at the best team in the league, really need to start scoring goals and beating some of the trash in this league. New owners come in and back Robinson in January and we should be in play offs no problem. Hope they don't sack him because not sure we can get a better manager at this level.0
