  • Walking is brilliant.




    Coming from behind to claim a point against a top-of-the-table side is better.

    All hail Jacko!

    Fair result overall.  I felt Rotherham looked very sharp in the first half and I was happy with how hard the team worked as a unit to manage their threat.  We just couldn’t get hold of the ball and work it and put them under any pressure.  Conceding before HT is always a sickener, but decent performance in the second half and we definitely deserved our equaliser.

    Real fight and determination all the way through.  Tonight we just didn’t have that little bit more magic in the final third, but it’s coming.  We’re going in the right direction and it’s good to see.  

    Another tick in the box for Jackson to be given the full time role for me.  I honestly don’t think we need to look for anyone else 
  • Another observation from Saturday and tonight:

    Who would have thought a few weeks ago that we look more likely to score a headed goal from Ben Purr?

    Leuth said:
    Chris Gunter in a back 3 is some Bananaman eating a banana stuff / shit
    Does that mean he was good or bad in your opinion ?


    It means he was a weedy schoolboy in a back 4, but then Jacko fed him the banana of being in a back 3 and now he is a superhero and he fights crime 
  • Tommy needs to give JJ the job now.

    This squad are more than capable. What a fucking waste of 13 games.
    23 games tbh

    Great team ethic shown again but all of the team.  If we play like that, we will beat most teams at home

    Brilliant battling from the players against a Rotherham side which were sharper and quicker for the majority of the game.

    The ref was an utter disgrace.

    Great support getting behind the team especially when we wouldn't give up 2nd half.

    And what a save!

    Great point.

    Enjoyed that, proper game for the first time in a while and point a fair result. 
  • First game at the Valley this season after seeing pretty much every game on stream, and that first half had me a little worried.

    But boy that second was quiet something. Really enjoyed that, and hope that JJ and the team can go from strength to strength from here.

    It’s night and day between Accrington and the last 3 games. Formation, intent, fitness and playing for the shirt.  Cannot be prouder of the boys and the last 3 games have been an absolute joy to watch.

    First half Rotherham were better than us but we had some decent chances, Washington's header looked like it should have been better, we ended the half enraged.  Instead of folding we took that anger into the second half and forced them back, they still looked dangerous on the break, but we built momentum.  We got a deserved equaliser and at that point I thought we would go on and snatch it. 

    Decent point against a side that to finish above would promotion, shame the ref bottled it.
  • That was exactly how Rotherham accepted the result, a point away at tough opposition, whereas 2 weeks ago we were cannon fodder

    Great performance tonight, really proud of the boys, they gave everything. We’d have lost by a few under Adkins as Rotherham are a decent side

    So now the problem we thought was the main one when the season got going is clear again, that we do not have a natural goalscorer. Now that the rest of the time is clicking, that is what will hold us back.
    Priority for January or more realistically July.

    Well Done Jacko and the lads,
    best team second half and I feel we could have won the game.
    their first goal was hand ball in my opinion 
    the referee was a totally  blind WANKER.
    as they should have been down to 10 men.
    great point well done Charlton 👍👍👍👍

    As a neutral I thought Charlton looked far better than under Adkins. Far more effort and  commitment.  The referee was appalling. A yellow card for an elbow in the face and no card for a body check Owen Farrell would have been proud of.
    I say 'neutral' but my grandson is a member of the U14 academy. He made his debut for Wales U15 today, a year up, as centre back in a 1-1 draw with Slovakia.
    Oh wow, proud. Good luck to him.

    Fantastic point, lots of praise from the Rotherham end saying we look miles better than our league position. We just might be!

    A few individual performances had their ups and downs - Stockley a poor game, Gilbey was a notch below his recent performances, Washington was very profligate etc etc.   But every last one of them bust a gut for the cause. A great team effort. That was a good point against a good side and, with a bit of luck, could have been three.  Chalk and cheese from a few weeks ago. Long may it continue.  Special shout out for the ref. What an absolute clown.

    Happy with a point. Draw a fair result on reflection, they were better first half but we were better second.
    Ref shocking for both teams, but it got the crowd going and made for a really enjoyable game. Can't beat the Valley under the lights! 

    That short corner in the first half was criminal, as was Stockleys swipe at the ball with 30 seconds left. Oh and give JJ the job, felt like proper Charlton

    Just a hunch but I think we would have won with Leko on the pitch.

    Not sure he'd agree. Probably would hurt too much to do anything of note.
