Love watching the way we are playing at the moment.
So much better than all the tippy tappy bollox that we were playing under Garner.
With the right amount of backing I think we have a manager who will deliver success.

Can we get an update on the status of HMS Piss the league please?4

Fantastic interview with Holden. Liked what he said about giving Campbell a chance on a hunch because of the way he performed in training yesterday.
Really warming to the guy7 -
Campbell's left foot should be insured for several million. It's a very rare artifact at this club.

For those wishing we sign up Holden - just learn from the Jacko scenario and take stock at the end of the season, when his contract is due.12

4 weeks ago I'd written this fixture off as a definite loss. Absolutely Curbs style win. They should have been 3 up by half time.
I thought Bonne acquitted himself well and despite lacklustre performances by Dobby and Kane falling to the curse of Charlton there's something bloody minded that I like about the team. Finally.2 -

It was good to see a left footed player, playing on the left, using the flank, and providing good crosses because there has been very little of it this season due to available personnel.

I'll give Sandgaard the benefit of the doubt. Might prove to be an excellent decision.
I agree, but just remind yourself, this time last year the same thing was said about Johnnie Jackson.
It's still early days.
I do think Holden has potential for a long term positive future at the club, but Charlton have a knack for new manager bounce...until gravity stops the bounce and....Well, you know the rest5 - Sponsored links:

That was a proper battling performance, what we lacked at the start of the season.
Not always pretty but effective.
Honestly think we would have lost that one under Garner.
We rode our luck at times but broke at pace, which at times they couldn’t cope with.
Most importantly it’s the result that counts, top 6 looks possible.2 -
Gotchya! Was confused as he played next to 2 left footed midfielders today. Completely agree. Having a right footed left back and left midfielder isn't the best approach to building a balanced team.JonT_Abs said:

Was it a dirty game, or was the ref just picky, as I had a look through the BBC live text and there seemed to be more fouls and yellow cards than normal?

At least a rest until Saturday2

Favourite chant of the day when their forward tried to have a go at Clare and Innis stepped in - “we saw you - you chickened out “8

That’s a great win off the back of Tuesday. They must have been shattered.3

The ref was awful - blowing his whistle every 5 seconds. Frustrating to watch.aliwibble said:Was it a dirty game, or was the ref just picky, as I had a look through the BBC live text and there seemed to be more fouls and yellow cards than normal?
Surprised there wasn't more injury time...8 -
It was a little bit niggly we gave as good as we got and a couple were for handbags between Innis and Norwood who tried to drag an injured Clare to his feet but his minder took umbrage 😉. Others were taking one for the team challenges.aliwibble said:Was it a dirty game, or was the ref just picky, as I had a look through the BBC live text and there seemed to be more fouls and yellow cards than normal?2 -
Three league wins in a row and a morale boosting performance at Old Trafford can't be bad.
Barnsley were good make no mistake and on another day they may have pulled themselves together in the last third but they did not and combined with some stout albeit at times last gasp defending we kept a clean sheet.
Leaburn had a frustrating game, which will teach him a lot, they managed him well within and outside the rules. First time I had closely watched Ness, where did he come from? Very impressive kid in a key position.
Interesting to see what length of time Kane is out for, looked rusty to me.
Bonne was looking sharp and shame he hit the post.
Campbell goal was great especially with the number of people around me shouting "Just effing pass it".
AMB is sealing the shirt with every game, first saw him play for Hamlet (who beat welling today
) liked him then, like him even more now.
We are building a core of budding young players if only we can hang on to them.
Today was a good day at the office.11 - Sponsored links:

Up against a very good side, with tired legs and two early injuries, pulled it off, great win. There were lots of really good performances but performance of the day goes to the Valley crowd. Totally different atmosphere to the Lincoln game and the place was absolutely rocking. Football grounds are a wonderful place to be in when there is that level of noise.4

All I will say is… the quadruple, triple, double, single is still on.CAFCTrev said:Can we get an update on the status of HMS Piss the league please?1 -
Watched that today and the thought that went through my mind is how on earth are the chancers lining up our takeover even contemplating cutting our academy?
Ness put in a highly impressive performance, building on his recent ones; Maynard-Brewer looks like his time has come; Campbell scored a lovely goal and run his heart out ; Henry came on and put in a good shift, meaning Forster-Caskey is unlikely to be missed; and Leaburn, of course, is destined for a big move, just hopefully not yet.
Why on earth would you want to cut or maybe even close, a system that gives you players of this quality?24 -
Great result.A different team from what we’ve been watching in the Autumn.Well done to the lads and coaching staff - Barnsley are a decent side this year.IDobbo looked exhausted, but still put in his normal 100% performance. I hope him giving his shirt away at the end was not significant.0

Agree with this, we rode our luck a little bit and I thought they were a very handy side who played some good stuff.AddicksAddict said:Barnsley played some good football so it’s very satisfying to come away with a clean sheet.
Bonne looked like a proper forward, I can see him doing well.
felt like we went 1-0 up against the run of play
got a bit of luck and we also played well too. All in it was a decent game.
our time wasting tactics are off the scale, we’d all be going mental of that were against us.
Holden doing an amazing job, hopefully we can back him and keep him
MOM Ness, he’s a proper player1 -
Players give there shirts away all the time....2+2=5 in this case.Valiantphil said:Great result.A different team from what we’ve been watching in the Autumn.Well done to the lads and coaching staff - Barnsley are a decent side this year.IDobbo looked exhausted, but still put in his normal 100% performance.

Pretty certain Campbell is right-footed. It’s great that he can go both sides.JonT_Abs said:

I thought Barnsley were a good side for this level and we certainly rode our luck in the first half, with the woodwork being our best player.
Hats off to the boys and Holden though, a very well fought 3 points, showing that once you cut out the errors and do the basics well, you can get results in this ball bag league.
I thought Ness was excellent again. What a player he is turning into.4 -
Apologies if it has already been said, but I want to praise Holden for his work this week.
He has been able to get us to win both against Lincoln and Barnsley.
During that time he has also had to deal with the huge distraction and the challenge of the Manchester United game. Travelling up there on Monday 48 hours after Lincoln, playing, getting back in the early hours of Wednesday.
Then overseeing two players out, and two players in.
Today he had to deal with the late loss of Sessignon, and a very difficult Barnsley side, introducing a new bloke into the starting line up, keeping faith (rightly) with young Ness, but re-introducing O'Connell, and his surprise (to Michael Duff) pick of Tyreece Campbell pays off, as indeed there was an almost immediate pay off when he brought on Bonne and Henry.
So Holden had to cope with a lot this week, and as far as I am concerned he has managed it excellently.
He seems old school, but a proper football manager, who has arguably managed to get our club to punch above its weight for the first time since the heady days of Bowyer.
One P.S.
It turns out Lucas Ness was with the Met Police FC from the age of 11 until we snaffled him, and for that Steve Gallen deserves credit.29 -
My advice. Give credit to the manager...
But give more credit to the players.
They did it0
