    What a win and what a noise at the end. Defence was fucking amazing.

    Only grumble was Kelman looked dog shit.
    Kelman is gonna need Leaburn or Olaofe with him. 
    Completely agree. Campbell was wrong partner and kept on making simple errors up top,  looked better playing deeper. Kelman will come good but had little to work with today

    Looks like it is appropriate to say 'it's what we do'.
    Certainly these days under Nathan Jones.
    That noise when Knibbs scored the winner. That noise!

    Why are Portsmouth above us in the table after a 0-1 win, when we are first alphabetically? Because they scored earlier, an away win?

    Thought Jones & Ramsey were solid, Bell wasn’t great when he turned inside onto his right.
    Better league, but still same 💩 refs, player off the pitch “injured” ref plays on for about 30 secs then blows to stop the game. WTF.  We also had 2 good shouts for pens in the second half.
    Bell was great and am amazing upgrade!
    Bell overplays it in defence - looked a bit casual at times. Need to deal with a high press a bit better.


    Indeed. The only thing that made me nervous.

    Signed Bailey Peacock-Farrell too from Brum who is a terrible keeper too.

    Josh Pure Class Edwards.

    Nathan Jones has prepared this team well.
    We will be fine this season.

    Fair play to the Watford Manager, doesnt have a bitch and whinge about the penalty they should have had, I know we should have had at least one ourselves, but wouldn't have blamed him, had he brought it up

    Reaction: Pezzolano On Charlton - Watford FC

    Great result
    Fantastic noise for the goal. 
    A bit disappointed with the attendance - thought it would be 23k+. 

    On the playing side, I thought Cov and Doc were a bit light today, and we won’t get away with not being 100% in this league. 

    MOM was Ramsey IMO.

    I would say the weak links in that team today were Docherty and Tyreece. Kelman had an off day but early days for him.

    Disappointed they didn’t ask him where he got his white shirt from or why he sits on a milk crate.

    So what happens later in the season when you cant be settled on GD ? Isn't it by goals scored....and then what  ?  Certainly not by away goals.

    From BBC report of game. 

    Who stood out?

    While Knibbs will make the headlines for his late winner, it was another debutant in Apter that shone for the hosts.

    The summer signing from Blackpool was the man who put in the crosses for both of Lloyd Jones' excellent first-half chances.

    He also came close with a number of his own efforts and was a constant thorn in the side of Watford down Charlton's right flank.

    It was the 22-year-old's first game at Championship level but he did not look out of place - despite only having one full season in League One last term.

    Does that include Season ticket holders that are on holiday or decided to watch on TV as it was an early ko, as there looked less than 20k.

    Very unlucky with his 2nd half effort. Must have looked like it was going in from behind that goal.

    That was standout fantastic. Back in the Championship against a team who are well established there and with Prem ambitions. The game was a real seesaw, but we looked comfortable there and frankly deserved the win. Big shout out to Apter and Carey who looked a real problem to deal with. Edwards was a rock, as was Jones, Coventry was everywhere, and Leaburn and Knibbs caused real problems. I thought Campbell looked okay first half, but he gradually worsened, with some awful passing and a shot he took when an easy pass would have put Edwards in behind. But I think he'll settle in, as will Kelman who was  a bit anonymous, but had little service.

    But overall, avoid game of football, worthy winners, and we look as if we have bought well this summer.

    Hopefully when Miles is fully ready I'd like to see him and Kelman start, Knibbs, Carey and Coventry with the rest that started today.

    Without wanting to sound too over the top, that might well cause issues for some people sensitive to seizures, if it happens to occur at the right frequency.  They need to sort that.  I thought the ground looked good though with the facelift bits and bobs.

    Now if they can just sort out the appalling service (shout out to the bar staff in fans bar who tried to charge me ten quid for two halves, offering to "show me" if I wanted, which when I asked him to, magically changed to 6 quid).

    Shows how much of an impact not shopping from the bargain bucket like previous seasons can be. 

    Transfers in have led to a big increase in quality rather than shopping around hoping for the best and relying on the kids to save us.

    Oh yeah, that was something, on a par with Goddens goal in the playoffs. 

    I think it was mostly a relief of "we can cut it in this league".

    That's a pretty good crowd.

    But makes you realise how hard it will be to compete in this League when you see that only 2 teams - Oxford & QPR - had a smaller attendance today.
