  • We took the lead, and we've bloody well held on to it until Half-Time... Baby steps, but well done lads.

    Good first half , pressing high, with them giving us a lot of room in our half, good well taken goal from Gilbey, and we go in 1-0, more of the same please Addicks, 'cos Harris will not be happy, and we will need to be up for the second half, they must create chances, we need another early doors..

    Not watching this time, sounds a bit more positive than previous weeks. Fingers crossed we keep it up.

  • Leuth when he reads that Gilbey has had a pretty decent game tonight...

    If Gilbey does that every game for the rest of the season and the first ten games of next season, rest assured I will be the first to congratulate him

    That's a lot better. Survived the early stages, despite Clare and Lavelle not marking their man. Built slowly but we can now use that as the game goes on. CBT looking dangerous and glad he got an assist for the goal. Gilbey deserved his goal and could have had three to go with the yellow. Keep them out, get a second and then maybe we can relax a bit.

    26' CLOSE! Gilbey takes a lovely first touch before breaking just inside the box and firing inches past the right upright. #cafc 0 #gills 0

    Blokes’ inches!!!  About 3 ft that missed by.  
    So 36” then.

    Good half. Much better than in recent weeks. Some of that is down to Gills being poor and sitting deep but we've kept the ball, found space, and created chances in ways we haven't done in recent weeks. CBT and Washington definitely make a big impact of this team. 

    We still look ropey from set pieces. We've largely managed to scramble them away, but we need a second as we can't rely on that luck.

    A second half performance like the first and we will put a good bit of room between us and the relegation zone.

    Nah I agree... He's so frustrating at times, we're seeing an Ipswich type performance today.

    But wasnt long ago that he couldnt control a bag of cement, and thats nothing to do with the Strikers in front of him

    CBT has 3 shots outside the box...resulting in 2 corners and a goal. Other players need to take note.

    Solid so far. Get that second though please!!

    Its big of you to admit that if he puts a run together of 20 goals in 20 games that you'll be happy for him.

    CBT awesome first half, need a 2nd goal early on as I expect CBT and Washington wont last much more than 60 minutes

    Much much better. Look like we have a plan now. Fraser, CBT and Gilby all good. Stockley makes a massive difference.

    Much better, wont get carried away obvs, but we're clearly playing a certain way and sticking to the game plan, no real pointless punts forward etc. Of course, Stockley and Washington together makes a difference.

    Its bizarre really, neither have really been that involved

    We've not seen the Duracell battery runs from Washington which is understandable given the fact that he's coming back to fitness, and probably wont last the 90mins.

    Stockley on the other hand hasn't really won much in the air!!

    Having them back in the team is almost as much of a mental help for the others, as it is to actually have them back.

    Fraser settling in and CBT returning are the difference

    If we win tonight, I can see us winning the next eight, and if a few clubs go into administration and Putin invades Rotherham, I reckon we could go up. COYR.

    Were the 3 shots on target all from the same passage of play  ?  CBT's initial shot, players follow up blocked & then Gilbey scoring.
