Brilliant performance and massive relief. That is a serious achievement of a season and I'm buzzing we'll be playing in the champ again next year. Lots to be improved on which is exciting to think about, but so much credit to the club, players, NJ and fans for getting it over the line.
Got it done in style too, two goals of absolute quality and a performance generally that deserved the win. Was great to see more balls in behind for CK to chase, made him look a completely different player. Fevrier an absolute menace. So much energy and endeavour in the team.
A few small lowlights with a couple of Kaminski errors around some otherwise great play from him, and Clarke continuing to convince me that he is not the answer for us after this season. Luckily we were only punished the one time for our mistakes and we got the job done.
Fantastic work from everyone, I f*cking love this club.11 -

The only option for a pass was at the every outset when in the charlton half. The second we were in their half TC was offside for the whole move until the very last moment when a pull back was possible.SomervilleAddick said:
Fev was knackered, I don’t know how he managed to run that far. I think any pass would have been cut out by the defender, just like the shot.Raith_C_Chattonell said:

What a day, great win and two great goals.
Ditch the long ball to a lump and look what can happen.
The look and tears my 9 year old boy had at the final whistle, pure joy.That’s why we love football, a rollercoaster of emotions over a season.17 -

I thought we played very well and some of the players that haven't had a lot of game time like Knibbs and Fevrier really shone. The victory was deserved and on we go to the second season.
I then thought NJ spoke excellently afterwards. No cliches, just praise for players, owners etc. we do seem to be in a good space personnel wise behind the scenes. Hopefully this summers recruitment can be a real step upwards and we can push for mid table next season.10 -
Good point on Knibbs, Athletico, I thought he was a handful for Hull to deal with, might be close to his best performance for us.Athletico Charlton said:I thought we played very well and some of the players that haven't had a lot of game time like Knibbs and Fevrier really shone.

I felt we played ok against Ipswich. It is just they have players who can pass through a press. Our press anyway. Hull are more bog standard attritional team and I think we played them well. Their goal could have had a bad effect on us but Nathan's subs were positive and we absolutely deserved the win. Well done, it automatically becomes a succesful season given our budget and the fact we went up via the play offs. Now it is all about our summer recruitment. I suspect quality will be more important than quantity.

We achieved our status as a Championship club which was always our aim in our first season back but we didn't over achieve, just to clarify what I felt at the final whistle yesterday. I'm still pleased and maybe mid-table next season will be the over achievement.
I felt relief which was Nathan first feeling and Kelman said in his great after match interview with Charlotte that we limped to the line which was the overriding views of the fan/critics base. Also the 3 million pound that he cost was mentioned by our Essex/American boy who showed the doubters what he can do.
That fantastic goal from Charlie was always in his locker I had watched the 20+ goals that he scored for Orient and some of the great touches he had shown for CAFC and just felt Nathan wasn't getting the best out of him and I felt like others that playing Leaburn and Dykes together was disappointing and it was crying out for Charlie to get a pass in the channels for his feet rather than the ball over his head !
I would love to see more of Jayden Fevrier who played like Small with his dancing feet before his answer to Charlie's Sublime finish. The difference with Small was Thierry would have hit the fans in the Covered end and not rippled the net.
We have been starved of flair in the team this season and Jayden showed in his cameo apps even when we have been struggling that he can add to the squad next season so I hope we can make this happen.
Ramsay, Jones and Bell who all have battered bodies at the end of this gruelling season as they were overworked, hope our passing improve for next season.
I watched the match yesterday on my phone in my hospital room attached to a Catheter bag that was Claret after a procedure and I'm beginning to feel euphoria for Charlton still being in the Championship and for the improvement that Nathan wants as well as all of us because it's great to see goals (more than 1) scored by attacking players.
Looking forward to hearing a happy Louis Mendez and guests at 10 and hope that after a well deserved holiday Nathan, Phil and the Owners can improve the squad for our Second season in the CHAMPIONSHIP 👏🏻
I know Kayne, Lloyd and Aamari'i hope so.
Have a beautiful Sunday 😎

I had to smile in the first half when Charlie Kelman won a free kick following a foul on him - just as he got a good pass away.
This earned himself a huge hug from Conor Coady. I get the impression that Coady's enthusiasm is very infectious. A really good guy to have around the place.28 -
Hopefully not an overstatement due to the euphoria of yesterday, but I think Coady in isolation is one of the main reasons we’ve stayed up.Raith_C_Chattonell said:I had to smile in the first half when Charlie Kelman won a free kick following a foul on him - just as he got a good pass away.

Putting his obvious footballing ability aside, his years of top flight experience coupled with his clear enjoyment at being here and playing football will have had a huge effect on the team around him. He’s constantly geeing up, organising and praising which coming from an ex England international must motivate his team mates pretty highly.
Very doubtful he can make a move to London work next season but if he could I’d be working hard to get him in and around the squad again.39 -
That was a very enjoyable day from the Hull supporters at London Bridge discussing who they were playing at Wembley, to watching the best two goals I’ve seen at the valley for quite a time. Our defending sometimes looked a bit chaotic but I think that’s just Jones style, apart from their goal I can’t remember much from Hull , some hopeful shots that never really troubled.I didn’t stay for the lap of appreciation it took far to long but I did notice the kids having a kick about spent more time in the six yard box than their dads did all season. I retired to the Oak instead for a couple of hours drinking in the sun. Perfect day.4

It might have been an off day but I did find it quite odd that for a play off chasing team none of them made me go “I’d love to have him”. Gelhardt is the obvious one but he had a shocker5

That sub who came on in the second half at RW (the one who looked like a ex-member of Kool and the Gang), he looked pretty dangerous.fenaddick said:It might have been an off day but I did find it quite odd that for a play off chasing team none of them made me go “I’d love to have him”.

A fantastic win and a good end to a successful season.
I liked the way that we tried and succeeded to play a bit more football through the midfield.
I realise that we need some more Champ quality in there next year.
I think, watching that, that if we could get two players in of enough experience and quality who can pick the ball up and turn with it in midfield we would a lot more successful going forward with the players that we already have.
Sign Fevrier up!
Also, if Clark will not be enough, a quality replacement at RWB.
We are not going to be able to replace
That many but I reckon with these additions we would start to see much improvement in Kelman and TC and the others around them like Knibbs and Carey. It would also take the constant pressure off of our defenders.
L.Jones should have his wages doubled after his efforts this year!
Onwards and upwards to mid table next season.
Well done to the entire squad and NJ for the hard work and commitment in this first season back where we belong.

Phew finally got over the line. much improved performance. I must admit i didn't think we would make it. Went to both Hull games and didn't think there was much between the two teams, but shows we need to invest in this squad in order to achieve our next step of being a safe mid table side before moving on.6

Glad I’m not the only one who’s had enough of this! Was funny for a one off, but 3 times a game?Leeds_Addick said:Thrilled at the result
But maybe more thrilled that today is likely the last time I have to hear 'Tottenham away ole ole' sung at the valley9 -
Spurs offer 3000 away seats.
Got your season ticket yet?
If not and you are wanting to go I would suggest reaching out to those you know who have one now.
After all, it could be the first game of the season.3 -
Kaminski 8 excellent handling under extreme pressure
Collins S 5 struggled from the start might have seen a red card so going off made us stronger
Jones 7 strong performance
Gilliesphey 7 better performance
Clarke 5 disappointing at fault for hull first goal even through it was also a foul on Kaminski
Fev 8 excellent unlucky not to get MOM
Doc 7 another captains performance
Carey 5 again disappointing
Knibbs 7 proper pre season going to be a key player next season
Kelman MOM 9 not just the goal but his overall work rate never stopped chasing and pressing
Coady 8 been an excellent signing like to keep him for another 12 months but his comments about his wife and kids moving to London seems extremely unlikey plus he on 28k at Wrexham and we only paid 14k of his wages
Burke 7 very good and gave us that extra experience6 -
He was being pulled back and it prevented him from moving freely. Nothing pathetic about it.

He tries to pull away, and when the player lets go he over balances. Without the pull it would have been an easy save.9 -
Looking at the highlights, Gelhardt's finishing did not look like a £10m valued player who has 14 goals this season. Jees!2
-
Nice shot of the cheating git, clear as day, their goal should have been chalked off...4
-
Did think at the time that Kaminski has obviously had some dance training.
His plié, étendre, relever, glisser into a sauter, élancer, and tourner were top notch.
Why didn't one you bastards in the lower not chuck a bouquet at him at least. I gave him a 9!
