Post-match Thread: Charlton Athletic vs Plymouth Argyle | Saturday 20th November 2021

It was a classic game of two halves. Better and best! In the first, we dominated the top-of-the-league Argyle without capitalising. And in the second, we dominated Argyle and put away two beauties! 😂

With an in-form Plymouth visiting a full Valley the scene was set for Johnnie Jackson’s newly-inspired Addicks looking to impress the visiting Sandgaard. And they didn’t fail to impress. From the opening whistle, the Addicks harassed and harried Plymouth from front to back. We dominated possession and imposed ourselves relentlessly. Plymouth look shellshocked for much of the first thirty-five minutes. We went into halftime with momentum from a dominant performance, but with no goal to show for it.

The second half didn’t disappoint with end-to-end action. Purringtodinho found himself at the back post from a long cross in from Dobbo. He pulled the ball out of the air and struck it past the Plymouth keeper with aplomb! We then went on with renewed confidence until Washington found himself through on a marvelous Lee punt from the back. Washington buried the ball past the keeper to put us two ahead.

Man-of-the-match? An impossible task. Gilbey and Dobson ran themselves into the ground. Elliot Lee did the same, providing inspired forward impetus. DJ ran his marker absolutely ragged and put in cross after cross into dangerous areas. Pearce was a rock at the back. Famewo had his man in his back pocket. Clare wasn’t much troubled and linked well with DJ to turn defense into attack. Washington and Davison picked their opportunities to strike and harassed from the front to good effect. When Burstow came on in his debut, he did himself proud. Collectively, they made Plymouth look ordinary.

Clean-sheet win!

Jacko makes this management lark look easy! And the crowd was absolutely brilliant throughout. What an atmosphere. The Sandgaard’s must be buzzing!

Over to you.
