    Thrilled to be winning but, a) I don’t think we’re playing that well, and b) our fans are surprisingly quiet.

    Lets go out and get that second goal and solve both those problems

    Briston! The other one was a draw, and you know what that'd mean. My heart can't take it

    Horrible to watch but we're in front.  Need to maintain grip on midfield and Agwei and that's game done. Won't be easy and we should note Shef Utd we're in front at half time yesterday and lost.. COYA!

    I'll get stick for this (and have done for the last month and a half when I've trotted it out mid-match) but ...

    Charlton have scored the first goal on 24 occasions in the league this season (including play-off semi-final) and are unbeaten with 23 wins and one draw.

    Orient might as well go home now and have the rest of their Sunday back 😉
    I don't want to say anything bad, but...

    Funny seeing 2 league 1 teams playing at Wembley. Any minute you expect the groundsman to turn up and kick them all out...

    Need that second goal. Leyton will have to start taking risks so TC and Godden need to be well alive to the moments that they will get.

    What has Shef United got to do with it...
    We are Charlton Athletic and we don't do failure ok...

    "Charlton have won their last 3 major finals at Wembley" - not counting the Full Members Cup then?

    Mannion launches it forward, Small up the right but it's out for our throw. Edwards will take long

    Launched into the box Beckles heads clear, Ramsay to Cov, all the way back to Mannion

    Orient down our left, try to play it into the box but we intercept

    Again down our left but we push them back to the keeper midway in their half

    Orient down our left, a ballon nearly gets in the way, the cross is easily picked off the floor by Mannion

    Small down the right, but his cross sails over everyone and out for a goal kick

    Ball up the left for TC, Beckles intercepts but then slips so we have a throw.

    Edwards launches it, nodded on, dodgy touch from Ramsay but he atones
  • aliwibble
    aliwibble Posts: 26,300
    Wide to Edwards, TC takes on Beckles, who grabs him as he tries to pass and we get a free kick up on the left

    Calm you down my booty!

    Even if they equalise we've still got stoppage time to bag a couple ...

    Gilbert takes, headed clear, we concede a free kick on the edge of their box. They want to take it quick but the ref sends them back

    Orient down the left again, cut back centrally, great block from Gilbert.

    Sloppy pas from Edwards to Doc intercepted but we get it back
