Charlton travelled up to Shropshire seeking their first away win against a solid and in-form Shrewsbury side that haven’t lost at home all season.

The opening minutes of the first half started with both sides quite tight and cagey. There were attempts for each side that could have separated the sides, but neither were able to capitalise. Rak-Saki had two gilt-edge chances that left him and his teammates shaking their heads. As the half wore on, Charlton grew into the game, finding their passing form and some confidence in their attacking intent. But the first half finished goalless.

The second half started much like the first. However, having weathered a period of Shrewsbury possession, the Addicks found their feet and began to impose themselves again. After a handful of decent opportunities, on 69 minutes, Rak-Saki’s persistence paid off when he found the back of the net on his third attempt to put the Addicks ahead. From then on, Charlton managed the game out, looking well organised and solid with and without the ball. 

A solid performance resulting in a much needed away win and a clean sheet. Finally, we’ve strung a few wins together for that elusive run up the table. 3 wins in 3.

Over to you.

    Well deserved, Shrewsbury threatened at times but were more interested in protecting and hitting us on the break - How that has got them to the heights of 8th (before the game) I'll never know.

    Glad Rak-Sakyi got the winner, but got he was shit and that will be reflected in the marks from me.

    Big win, as apart from Ipswich the fixture list looks very kind to us between now and Boxing Day, so there is a great opportunity to really push for a Play-Off position as we head into the New Year. Of course it could all yet change (as we've shown ourselves the last few weeks), but thank fuck that first away win is done and dusted.

    Very decent debut from Tyreece Campbell

    Huffed and puffed in the final third, should have been 2-0 up at HT! 

    JRS had been terrible until his goal, so hopefully a bit of confidence gained there- thought Campbell struggled but again confidence is key… CBT truly missed today!

    aneke isolated when coming on, but to be expected. Defence looked strong which is a positive. 
    Leaburn and a January Striker Signing would strengthen us tenfold

    I’m getting carried away but this team has most of the qualities needed for a promotion side. We have grit, technical quality, athleticism, experience, youth, strength in depth. Combine all of that with the momentum we’ve got now from 3 wins on the bounce, we will be up there.

    Very good win. Looking decent defensively and not so many long range shots coming in.
    Sandgaard thread will be quiet this week!
  • Great result. In the mix now. Well done Garner and the lads.

    Plus a backup Left-Back for Sessegnon

    Its his injury that has forced us to play catch up, as there were so many silly goals that Clayden was involved in during his absence - No fault of his, as he's not a Full-Back, but shouldnt have been put in that position in the first place.

    Really impressed with that. 
    OConnell and Innis superb. What a difference. Jayden, Dobson, Kirk and Fraser also excellent. Thought Payne was exactly what we need too.
    Well done Garner. A new Dawn or another bright moment in another season of mediocrity?
    We’ll see. Two homes games now. Perfect chance to press home advantage.

    We were so hard to read early on this season because we were drawing so many games. Were we good or were we bad?

    The season was on a prolonged knife edge because of so many draws. People say it takes 10 games to figure out how good you are but it’s taken us a handful of extra games this season.

    I almost lost faith in us after the horrendous result at Barnsley. That was the first time heads went down on the pitch and I thought the results were going to turn from draws into defeats.

    But since then we’re now five unbeaten, three clean sheets in four and were making the teams above us nervous. Everything is looking positive, and the coaching staff have to take massive credit.



    Garner is a very good manager who won’t be at this level for more than a couple of seasons.
  • I have an irrational hatred of Shrewsbury since that play off match so delighted with this

    Well done Ben and the team

    Hopefully a win on Tuesday and a decent home crowd against Ipswich the team deserve it at the moment

    lovely win, thought campbell did well couple of lovely efforts, stockley can piss off shouting his ear off for giving him a pass to run onto, does that far too often, and aneke did more in 10 minutes than he did the whole game

    Centre backs, in particular O'Connell, were excellent today.

    In case you’ve missed the last 3 wins and have only seen the results, make no mistake - we’re playing really well.

    Terrible misses from JR-S, but then he pops up with the winner. Deserved the win, a few weeks ago, as Brownie said, that's a draw. The power of momentum is amazing in football.

    Been very critical of us this season. But that was a great win and a good performance credit where it's due! UTA

    Glad Rak-Sakyi got the winner, but got he was shit and that will be reflected in the marks from me.

    Yeah, he fluffed a couple of chances that he should have put away.

    But his general game and approach play was decent.

    I do think you are being a bit harsh on an inexperienced 19 year old though.

    We spent all summer and the first quarter of the season and look awful, change system and suddenly we’re one of the best teams in the league!

    Go look at the SOS rankings I made, they are 22nd ie had the third easiest fixtures so far.

    Their next four games are Plymouth, Portsmouth, Barnsley and Sheff Wed. Expect them to get 2-3 points max from that and tumble into the bottom half by mid November.

    Stockley was excellent today... His hold up play to bring others in to the game further up the pitch was outstanding, and got us off the hook defensively about two or three times when we pissed about in our box first half
    excellent is way ott

    Should have won by more. Goal difference less than it should be because Sandgaard didn't sign a striker 🤣

    Certainly doesn't deserve the dig after the shift he put in.

    Probably the kind of game we would have drawn or lost a couple of weeks ago. If everyone stays fit until January and Sandgaard takes a knock on the head that makes him realise that this team can get promoted with just a bit of investment, then we could be on to something.
