  • Go on. Be honest. How many of you fcuked off and missed the equaliser?
    I did… I was so f@cked off when they went 3-2 up but stayed, when they went 4-2 up i thought I’d leave so I didn’t have to walk up to the station with all their fans singing and jumping around… 

    That’ll teach me… but I still went crazy outside the ground!

    I think what that second half showed is how much we just need to simplify things in the final third. Aneke obviously makes a huge difference but you can’t tell me Stockley, however poor his form has been, wouldn’t be more of a threat with a few more balls into the box like we put in second half. We have to find that way to transition from patient build up to being quicker and more direct once we’re within 40 yards of goal. 

    Worried about the defence with O’Connell and Innis missing, and Wollacott seems to have caught Charltongoalkeeperitis whe it comes to stopping long shots, but we’ll park that for now. 

    What a game and great belief and determination to get back into it twice.
     
    So great for Dobbo to be the one who got the winner. 
    We didn’t win, alas.
    Lol. Oops. Well, he gave is a winning feeling at least.

    I admit to leaving early.  However to watch the crowing tractor boys who left early at the station silenced as the news came through was hilarious.  Loads of old boys like me giving them some proper South London banter 😂
    Far more hilarious inside the stadium.

    Lesson for their number 4, never give it large to the opposition fans until the game is over!  He must be soooo embarrassed.
    Strangely enough he didn't want to talk to us after the game, or even make eye contact the big coward? Shouldn't he have been booked for his provocative behaviour?

    When was the last time we scored a last minute/stoppage time goal that counted for something? Obviously we got one at Accrington but conceded immediately after.

    Was it Cullen away at West Brom?

    Hard to be critical and yes there is a lot of things that are not as they should be but just look at the events. Because of Innis's suspension we play a centre half who hasn't played a first team game for at least a year, we then lose one of our full backs, one of our better players, we then lose our first choice centre back, once again vital to the team, we then bring on his replacement who has not started for us since I don't know when.
    We then go two down, our manager gets sent off by a referee who has long since lost control of the game. We fight and get two goals to draw level, we then concede two in injury time but fuck me the bloke who ain't played for a year and hasn't scored for probably longer actually scores, then to cap it all the player who fights nearly every game, draws us level, I need a lay down. 
    Only at Charlton.

    I’ve solved all our problems- ban BG from the touchline and we’ll score freely!
    Seriously, what a game. Loved the way we fought back, loved the fans’ passion, loved Garner’s passion as he walked off towards the tunnel and loved the players’ passion. 
    Turning point had to be Aneke and CBT coming on, while Fraser was immense. 
    Underlined why I tell my grandkids never to leave a game before the final whistle.

    Love Ben Garner and his passion.
    Really grown on me as the season has progressed. Absolutely brilliant response from the lads and give Dobson that captain armband permanently.

    9th place in touching distance of the playoffs

    We know if you win a few games in a row in this league you can move up the table.


    Not saying it will happen at all. But if we go on a little run and pick up wins against:

    Burton
    Port Vale
    Cheltenham
    Morecambe 
    Bristol Rovers 

    Then all of a sudden we might end up right in the mixer. 

    However we have made a hash of these sort of games this year, and with potential injury issues hitting again, I am not sure if we can.

    Before you get too carried away, compare our record vs top half teams with our record vs bottom half teams.

    Morsy and Mckenna going on about terrific support they had, well they certainly had the numbers but as for the support, you only heard from them when they were winning, so 'fraid can't agree, support was visual and naff all otherwise when it mattered..

    I wonder what the record is for the number of goals scored in injury time is? Can’t be much more than four?

    Jesus what a game. There 2nd goal was terrible on our part, letting them play the ball.

    I don't think Ipswich were that great tbh. They have enough talent to do well enough but not the world beaters there made out to be. 

    Left at 3-2 to my shame but what a result. There's a decent team here...need some holes plugged in January then who knows what we can do.

    Edit: ref was quite honestly the worst one we've had. Fucking disgrace.
           Can you find a different word or name to use instead of Jesus please?
    Thanks.

    Great shout, and Callum has listed a few. Can't believe I forgot about Aneke at Cheltenham last season

    Stormed out when Ipswich scored their fourth. It was too much!
    Heard our third just outside the club shop, and what sounded like Ipswich’s fifth in Floyd Rd. Everyone thought the same, until someone saw on his phone that it was us who scored. 
    Gutted to have missed it. Aaaagh!!
    Can’t wait to see it on ITV. It has to be the first L1 match for a change.
    For all the stick I get at least I stay through thick & thin. Never leave before the end. Never.

    You're no more than a glory boy. Go support your grandfathers team. 
    The only reason his grandfather ended up there is that WE (in the person of Stanley Gliksten) sacked him.

    Harsh Golfie.
  • I think the people who give Stockley very low marks are wrong. Admittedly he is a relatively limited League 1 striker but the poor guy has to play up front virtually on his own. He gets no support at all from Kirk ( who is useless) and precious little from Rak Saki. He won quite a lot of headers today but its pointless because there is no one near him to help or take advantage. Also he is very important defensively because he is the 2nd best after Inniss at clearing headers. 
    The other point is that the reason Aneke is so effective when he comes on is because the defenders are tired partly from their physical battle against Stockley.

    Wow. I think I have just got my heat rate down.

    Player marks seem down on Thomas which I think is really harsh. First full league game in about 8 months and we were defending really well until O’Connell and Egbo went off injured. 

    He dealt with all his personal 1-1’s really well, passed to Sessignon perfectly every time, wasn’t at fault for any goal and scored a crucial goal. I thought he showed promise. 

    Dobson and Fraser will not have a tougher game and they were everywhere today. It’s a shame CBT and Aneke couldn’t have given us 45 mins as I think those changes at half time and we win.

    Ben Garner will undoubtedly see a fine and a ban coming but I am so pleased he stood up to the inept officiating today. You could tell from the first five minutes, he wanted it to be nothing but the ref show. 

    That ending was wonderful. I just want to go back and watch it all again. Let this be a catalyst for the rest of the season 💪💪

    By the way, who else was up at Portman Road that time we drew 4-4 there? I'm sure the scoring went the same way then too ...... 0-2 down, back to 2-2, 2-4 down and then 4-4 right at the death. I'm sure we got a late penalty - Tommy Caton?

    Or have I imagined all that?
    You are correct,
    I was there and I remember it well.

    Agree with this to an extent. Aneke is so strong I think he would be a handful at the start of the game as well at after 60mins. I can’t see Stockley having the same influence off the bench. 

    What we really need is a John Jules sort of player to play 60 mins and then release Chuks. For all of his efforts Stockley doesn’t have the pace to shut down the keeper and back four for a high pressing game.

    I'm afraid I'm in the stopped watching at 2-4 ! Gang.

    Gutted to have missed our 2 goals as I honestly think we were not deserving of a 2cgoal defeat.

    Well played to the whole squad for showing that spirit. Dobson for me epitomizes everything I love in a footballer in terms of attitude.

    Can't dispute the character of the team in TWICE coming back from a deficit of two goals.

    Why we were twice in that situation is another question of course, perhaps partly connected to the injuries mentioned below.

    Just hope the injuries to Egbo and O'Connell are not too serious but, being Charlton, that hope is probably over optimistic.

    Anyway a point is better than nowt. COYR!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, I didnt see any support for Ladapo either but he managed to swivel on the edge of the box & bury it in the far corner.

    How many times has Stockley done that this season ?? And if you say "but that's not his game" then it should be if he is playing up top. 
  • Only missed the 2nd goal. Watched on TV and wife wanted me to get something from the car. Walked in to see a replay of the header into the net and thought it a replay of the 1st goal. When I saw it was - 0-2 I was having a right old moan to dad. Suddenly at 2-2 my wife walks in to the room and says " oh look they've scored 2, I thought it was still 0-2 as I didn't hear you say a thing, you always shout and yell when they score." I explained that I was not tempting fate. Then as the 4 go in in injury time I was just shell shocked. 

    A game like no other (that I've witnessed).

    Loved Garner geeing up the crowd as he was ushered down the tunnel.

    My dad bought me Home shirt for birthday. Its the first one I've ever owned with a player's name on the back....... 

    Dobson 4 it is. 
  • Stockley may battle away and is good defensively, but is so ponderous up front. Indeed I wonder about his fitness, as he's like a 36 year old veteran out there.
