Sky cameras visited the Valley this evening to capture Charlton’s total dismantling of a fourth-placed Portsmouth side that has only lost one other time this season. We outworked, outfought, and out-played Portsmouth to pick up another three points to complete a second consecutive win. This was the match that saw a complete performance from Ben Garner’s side over the full ninety minutes.
Ryan Innis headed home the opening goal, followed by a composed, one-on-one strike from CBT on the counter to give us a two goal lead going into the half. In the second half, Eoghan O’Connell scored the third with another towering header from a free kick. We defended well and saw out the clean sheet.
Portsmouth had a man sent off on about 60 minutes, after collecting two yellows from late challenges. We did something we rarely if ever do, immediately crowding the ref to pursue the case and ensure the deserved second card and the sending off.
Live on Sky, it’s a happy Valley.
Up the table we go.
Charlton 3 Portsmouth 0
Over to you.

Clean sheet win, clean sheet win 🎶11

So this season, we've only won a single game, where we've scored less than 3-goals!!
Fully deserved, was never really worried about Portsmouth, they looked toothless all night... Which is again credit to us because its only the second game that Portsmouth have (1) lost, and (2) failed to score.20 -
Death, Taxes & Charlton beating Portsmouth!!27

So so good1

Beginning to look like we’ve got something about us.4

My gob is smacked. Well played The Addicks!5

Fantastic win and a great few days. Nice to be looking up the table rather than worrying about how far we are from the drop zone.
If we can end the winless away run on Saturday then we might start to believe we can make the play offs.5 -
Three points off playoffs1
-
4-4-2, it'll never work against the better teams.

3-0 against 10 men and with 15 mins left I still wasn’t comfy.
Great win. Good performance. Well done boys.4 - Sponsored links:

Great performance tonight. CBT was immense.
Credit to Garner. As I've said all along, he's a very good manager20 -
Superb. Garner and the players should take huge credit for that.17
-
Absolutely no reason why they can't put that level of performance in for every remaining game from now on in.
CBT gets a mention in dispatches, but the whole side were very good.2 -
What an outstanding performance from the boys… E I E I E I O.! 🔴⚪️1

Garner looking at Charlie Kirk's body of work for Charlton, looking at our striker crisis, and despite all seeming logic, using the one to solve the other...probably his greatest stroke of managerial genius yet32

Not wanting to get my Hope's up but apart from Ipswich out next bunch of games look winnable ! Playoffs here we come ?2
-
Also, we've found two amazing things. A centre back pairing and a central midfield pairing the equal of anything in this division. Keep those four fit I pray. They ran it all for us today24

To be fair, take a look at our games between now and the end of the calendar year - If only it were quite as simple, but Ipswich | Peterborough | Oxford are the only three games I dont like - As Garner has just said, we now need to go to Shrewsbury and start winning away games.AndyG said:Not wanting to get my Hope's up but apart from Ipswich out next bunch of games look winnable !

Enjoyed that.
We’ve been a very frustrating team to watch this year, and you feel like that could only be around the corner again if we pick up a couple of injuries to key players.But that being said overall I also don’t think we have been anywhere near as bad as many individuals here have thought.Need to win these next two games if we really want to be back in and around it, and then we can go into that Ipswich match full of confidence.1 -

Superb performance, CBT and Fraser the stand outs but another 6/7 very good performances alongside them.5

Fraser and Dobson were outstanding.49

He's just admitted as well, that Kirk has never played that role before nowLeuth said:Garner looking at Charlie Kirk's body of work for Charlton, looking at our striker crisis, and despite all seeming logic, using the one to solve the other...probably his greatest stroke of managerial genius yet1 -
Can we play the South Coast every week?
Nice of BG to name check SCP there.5 -
Domination and totally deserved, very professional1
-
Superb performance. Makes you wonder where we'd be if we'd played 442 all season.
Well done Garner and the lads.
4 points off 4th and all to play for. Amazing how a couple of results in 7 days can turn it all around.

Don't think we played 4-4-2 as Kirk was everywhere in the first half, brave line up and tactics from Garner. Great win built on a solid defence and Pompey being robbed of a penalty despite us being denied the offside was justice not robbery.12
-
Good interview with BG on Sky. Have supported him from the off as I feel he does has something about him16

It feels like it’s taken this long to gel as a team and now they are performing…5
