    There we go, it's those percentage balls getting lumped in. It isn't beautiful but we have the nasty bastards and big men to cause chaos off the high ball and win the second ball. Chances like that will come for us and we need to stay strong in defence til the end
    It does work and it's Jones' favourite style but it really doesn't make for thrilling football. We'll win a fair few games this way I'm sure but doubt we'll be blowing many teams off the pitch.

    (But I would rather win ugly than lose pretty.)

    Imagine taking the lead, and then...... building on it.

    "Well defended once more by Charlton"

    "So many times Charlton have dealt with the first ball emphatically"

    Twilight zone stuff
    Amazing what a summer of preparation under Jones and a couple of new players can do to a team. 

    I firmly believe a lot of our games this season will be us bemoaning not having enough chances, not bemoaning how shit the defence is

    I once had a Trevor Francis tracksuit. Got it from a mush in Shepherds Bush.

    It's a good away game tactic but I'd hope we don't play like this at home. 

    Need to show a bit more control in the game than simply sitting 5 back and hoping for mistakes when most away teams would take the draw as well.

    Chuks is very lucky that got the slightest deflection. Outrageous decision to shoot there
