But we wasn’t, and anyway we’d have won 5-4😜addick1956 said:The worry is we could have been 4 down before we scored2 -
I am looking at 74 points as a virtual guarantee of play offs and anything over 70 as a possibility. 74 is 6 wins and a draw away.0

No, we are a bang average League one side, need a massive overhaul if we are to make any progress.cafc_se7 said:People saying our squad isn’t great and we are just an average side...I’m not saying you are wrong to believe that but with rovers tiring and faltering tonight and us picking up pace proves we are more than just an average side. Great result!1 -
I’m delighted for JJ.
Washington wants to be the main man and is showing more and more that he is.
Brilliant 😎15 -
Love shinnie. Reminds me of a right footed Colin Walsh. If the unlikely happens and we get top six, I imagine he will have been pivotal in getting us there.4

Sure, if we don't mind being 2-0 down after 20 minutes.Fortune 82nd Minute said:
Please no, don't do that.Southbank said:IF we can get Inniss fit quickly enough and we play Watson in front of the defence, it will be hard for the top teams we play at the end of the season to break us down. We then might get into the pkayoffs with a few 1-0s. We won't get there with a weak defence. Giving Hull, Peterboro etc a 2 goal start will not work.
Compare the movement of Shinnie and F-C tonight compared with Watson and Pratley last Saturday. It's chalk and cheese. Let's thank Pratley and Watson for their efforts and move on for the rest of the season without them starting.0 -
I think Barton has seen our defensive frailties and decided that having a real go early on might put them in the driving seat and then shut up shop. It came close to working. I don’t think we would have come back from 0 - 3killerandflash said:
Rovers showed the problem of a new manager coming in and trying to change things drastically mid seasonValleyGary said:Tbf apart from a 15-20 min wobble in the first half, they didn’t really threaten. Once again, a team comes to the valley and works their bollocks off. Problem was, Bristol Rovers completely ran out of gas (get it). Second half started scrappy as the away side tried their best to disrupt us, but they just got more knackered. Washington come alive and JFC/Shinnie continually wanted the ball, which is a great sign going forward. We need more quality in the final third at times, but when the away side are slowly retreating to their own goal after every attack, you just need that rub of the green. Still plenty more work to do, but another winnable couple of games before the real tests start.
Barton clearly wanted them to play with much more tempo and workrate, but the players weren't fit enough to do this for more than an hour.1 -
The come back will change the mood.2

But even then Shinnie and FC will ensure we win 3-2!Southbank said:

Over the moon for Johnnie more than anything tonight, good result but still a lot of work to do to finish top 6.
Would be happy to give Johnnie a few games and see how we get on.0 -
I think he knows exactly who it is & just hope JJ is kept on at the clubjimmymelrose said:

Good win. I like the way we didn't let our heads drop. Credit to the team and manager.
If Washington keeps playing like that he could end up player of the season.10 -
How would Watson have stopped a penalty and a speculative shot from 25 yards that Amos should have saved?Southbank said:

Neither Watson or Pratley to start and we’ve got a chance.6 -
Excellent. For what it's worth I am THIS close to suggesting a 3-5-2, depending on whether DJ can play RWB (think he'd be considerably better at defending than poor Smyth was) - or if not, we could always play DJ in a midfield three and Gunter RWB. I think 3-5-2 would make us much more solid without sacrificing much threatCafc43v3r said:0 -
Maatsen getting some disturbingly high ratings considering he gave away a silly penalty. He recovered well, but was not an overall 7 or more.4

A double Golfie is when you concede first twice then comeback to win.2 -

Pompey down to 10th tonight!

We thank you for your sacrifice @Covered End. Is it too painful to recount how much you would've won?Covered End said:You can thank me for that win.
I had £10 on Charlton to win, both teams to score.
When we went 0-2 down (and could have been 0-4) I looked at the cash out & was pleased it was £9.
So I cashed out and of course the game changed almost immediately.
Your welcome.

So the tweets from the players starting to come through now.MattF said:
Is it true that there was not a single one from the players yesterday wishing LB good luck? I really can't see why the club would ban them from making such statements so if it is true, that surely speaks a million words.6 -
Delighted for Johnnie. Really looked like the sort of game he won for us as a player. There is a good chance that tonight was his last involvement with the club. If that's the case, I can't think of a performance or result that would be better suited. Cheers Jacko8

Didn't see a single comment from any of them, a couple from some ex playersFortune 82nd Minute said:

Think Pearce deserves a bit of a mention actually. When he came back into the side he had those couple of atrocious performances, showed some real character lately. Yes he has his limitations but unlike some at the club he's not one to hide when things aren't going well.MattF said:62 -
How likely do we think it is that he will leave the club now? It would certainly be the most difficult departure to stomach of the current era of Charlton.maddferrett said:Delighted for Johnnie.
