We're a bloody solid side defensively.
Real test comes Saturday.3 -
Because @Dazzler21 appreciate the effort pal and everything but we have arrangements in advance to know who is doing what when, which then goes awry when you go renegade!Dazzler21 said:Dirty cheating mod leaders delete the post match thread that was posted first.

So many good performances, Shinnie, Smyth and Washington’s best games for us, defence so solid. Watson lucky to get away with the handball!3

Inniss 2nd yellow was deserved. 1st was naive on his part. There is no need to topple the goalkeeper when he already has the ball. He will learn but will be a big miss for Saturday. Excellent all round performance. Smyth was great, Gunter dependable, Bogle worked hard, Shinnie a few glimpses of real quality.2

Leuth, have a day off mate.Leuth said:I was just holding forth about Watson, only to have my post snatched from beneath me!
He was rubbish. Our measure of control in the second half had nothing to do with him and everything to do with the shifts our Northern Irish lads put in, allied to a good showing from Pratley and a masterclass from Shinnie. I can't believe the 7s and 7.5s he's getting in Player Marks. He managed about one good forward pass all game and should have been sent off!24 -

Great performance from Charlton, didnt think I'd be saying that after 30mins - Oxford must have exhausted themselves as we saw none of their high intensity after we got the first goal, unless their game plan was simply to try and get the lead and then protect it like what we saw at their place last time we played them
Both Washington and Shinnie took their goals really well with the latter clear MOTM... Less said about the referee the better though, really does show the difference in standards when we get Sam Allison on the weekend who has never been at this level compared with this joker tonight - We just have to go to Portsmouth and do things the proper Charlton way!!
Second Half performance though was the best I've seen from us this season, the benchmark wasnt very high but as Greg Stubley said towards the end... it was a proper workman like performance with the likes of Washington and Smyth chasing every ball that appeared a lost cause... Onwards and Upwards, the Addicks are coming through!!5 -

Another win, 5 x clean sheets whats not to like. Shame Innis will be missing on Saturday, Pompey are 3-0 up and starting to find their feet after a wobbly start.0

Love the energy and commitment we are showing, epitomised by the not so young Darren. I know he ain't the best but he gives his all and will play anywhere for Bows. Shinnie superb, and Smythe gives us so much momentum and seems to have bought in to the Charlton way from the off1

Well that was dare I say it, all a bit too easy!Poor first half again, gifted 2 goals by a defence that parted quicker than the Red Sea, even had a player sent off!Oxford look like a team that’s going down at the moment, nothing going right for them, bit like us at the end of last season, will be interesting if they carry on like this whether they stick with Karl, I hope so.
Surely tougher tests lie ahead against Pompey, Ipswich and dare I say Fleetwood.
Im going to keep writing us off until we’ve got over 100 points!0 -

Great three points and we managed the game brilliantly in the second half. Sending off was a shame as we would have seen some more offensive subs, but Oxford, who were very unlucky first half, were not in it after the break. Amos, Gunter, Famewo and Maatsen did very well again but I think Shinnie takes MoM. Great assist, scores and at the end did that great run down the left and cleverly won a foul. Washington and Smith worked hard. Bogle struggling a bit for me. Looks to be lacking match fitness as he is a yard short of pace. Needs a goal to get confdence.7

Backed 2-0 again and the boys delivered, I’m happy and so is my bank account!
That’s just bought me a new golf bag.
Gutted we won’t have Inniss and Watson on Saturday, they’ll be huge misses. Watson was excellent today. But Shinnie really showed his class in the attacking third, scoring one and making the other. He’ll be excellent for us this season.
Come on you Reds!14 -

Well well well
Gobinson loses to Bowyer. Ref is awful and Inniss gets a harsh sending off.
Watson also misses the next game.
Washington and Shinnie score.
Oh and Ali did a swear!

Another 3 points, another clean sheet, 4 wins on the spin, 5 clean sheets, winning ugly yet again. Smyth and Shinnie were immense, Maatsen excellent, Famewo is absolutely solid. Washington took his chance really well, Prately did what Prately does, Gunter excellent. Maddison and Gilbey yet to come into the side......Anneks hopefully fit for Saturday, but Innis will be a big miss. Onwards and upwards, wins breed confidence, confidence gets wins......whats not to like???3

They were running rings around us first-half but we did create the only chance. Still, LB didn't look happy. I caught him shouting, "BOGLE, HOLD THE BAAALLL" for trying a silly through-pass instead of holding it up and relieving pressure. That was happening a lot and not just from Bogle.
Second half the ball stuck a bit better upfront, we moved it around and we pushed up and pressed Oxford. We played some good stuff and for the first time this season showed attacking threat.
Had Inniss stayed on, we likely would've scored another (and would've seen Maddison off the bench).
Shinnie showed his ability today. A classy footballer. Was a pleasure to watch.
To think that we're still not anywhere near full strength. With players still gelling, key first-team players injured or coming back (Aneke, Maddison, Gilbey, Doughty) and fitness still an issue.
If we're tough to beat now, imagine what we'll be like down the road.4 -
Have to agree I wasn't impressed. Slow to react to things, poor passing and fortunate to stay on. Still expecting to see an improvement from him.Leuth said:I was just holding forth about Watson, only to have my post snatched from beneath me!

That was 32 consecutive clean sheets wasn't it? Followed by conceding 10 in the final!Miserableoldgit said:

bring back charlie barker?3

Gilbey, Shinnie and Maddison in a diamond is going to completely transform the way we play. If they can gel and our defence stays solid it's an exciting time. Just need to get the two up top right, although has to be Aneke and Washington for me.4

I said about four games ago, wait until we have played 10 games before we judge the players, I do not think we need 10 games, loving these results1

Solid win, shame about the suspensions but it's L1 so still a good chance for a result.1
