That was rather lovely wasn't it? I went into the game not really having any expectations other than the fact this game will be a good representation of what a chunk of the league will be, and it turns out that "Struggling" Charlton are anything but that! Thought the attendance was pretty decent, and the atmosphere was excellent throughout. There was a 15/20 minute period in the first half where we were both cancelling each other out and actually felt a bit flat.. Josh's injury doesn't look good and credit to the guy for wanting to carry on too, but you could tell instantly that it's a concern.

Up steps Macca who put on one of the best substitute displays you're going to see for a while, he didn't show any signs of not being match fit and looked more than alert and ready, I'm so happy he scored quickly as it makes a huge statement! Still think he'll struggle to get in but he may get a few games if Josh is out for a while to certainly make his mark and give Jones a headache.

Second half though, we just clicked. We looked unplayable at times and caught Blackburn off guard completely, dispossessing them and creating constant attack after attack, Kelman showing glimpses again and TC looking hungry for a goal too, luck didn't fall their way today but I like their contributions and wearing their backline down

Tanto and Miles just look like an absolute nightmare for opposition though, they were so full of energy and just ripped them up completely. Special credit to Tanto for that 2nd goal and a few other moments too when he just was fantastic.

What I'm going to take from this result is that it's a massive team result, everyone just played so well together and really seem to be all in sync together. I'm not going to let myself get carried away, but I think this and the last 2 games have shown that we've got that spark together now, yes we're going to lose some games, but we're going to win a lot of games too now and play damn well each time too. I think we're in for a great season together

Can we stop singing about going up into the Premier League though please!

I went into Bet Fred in Tooting in July and tentantively asked what the odds were on Charlton getting promotion. The cashier after a lenthly phone call to HQ said 36-1 but it was automatic top two, so I thought no....lets not carried away!
I thought lets see where we are after @10 matches....so not get carried away with how season has straighted, of course I'm delighted by yesterday putting an established championship side to the sword. I will see where we are at end of October after Hull away. This properly is a good barometer of where we are and where we need to go. All i know is that like every season I don't book a holiday in May, just in case we make the Play Offs, who knows, its a very long season, but delighted by the start. If there is one thing we all know Nathan teams get stronger during 2nd half likewise in 2nd half of a season.....exciting COYA's.

If Greg Docherty had a barn stormer of a game in midfield last week, Conor Coventry was just as good this week. Winning the ball, pressing hard and some great forward passes he showed the lot today.

But maybe still not my man of he match. For that step forward, James Bree. All I can say about his performance today is who was that Thierry Small character? Wow, can we sign him up before Southampton decide to give him another chance?
