Yup and I was confident before the game of a win.
Thoroughly deserved that.

Mason and Sterling stood out today.

Too many times our crosses didn't get past the first man.

I thought Mason was okay. Made a few errors, but not a bad game by a long chalk.

Not if his wife's name is Doreen.
Then 'putting the wood in the door' needs no sort of clarity.

I prefer the more familiar phrase, "putting the wood in the hole".

Please let it not be so!More likely Hiwula will be shoved out wide and JCH brought back in for Saturday

He's done his scoring for this month.

Everybody put in a shift and I thought we defended fro the front. The state of the pitch meant that trying to pass around the back would always put the defender under pressure if the forwards pressed, and I thought that in the first half, in particular, we did it much better than they did (thought Lyle Taylor was lazy in that first half). I want to see the winning goal again, as we couldn't work out how Thomas got that ball to Bayliss - was it deliberate? Who cares - I'd written off today, so anything was a bonus! Chuffed to bits!

I didn't mean it in regards to him, I mean that now he has scored he will probably be put out wide or on the bench.
Needs to be given a proper run.

Tells the players not to sit back, allows a striker to play up front and we grab a win. Credit to the manager for hopefully seeing the light at last! Hiwulla clearly hinting at that being his preference too.

We looked far more solid once Brown came on.

Yeah. Did solidify things at the back.

Just got in. Pretty pressed with us today, especially the intensity and tenacity with which we closed them down, didn't let them easily stroke it round as they clearly wanted to. Looked to me that Charlton came for a point and thus were inviting pressure on us when they didn't commit men forward, thus easily losing the ball in our half. They also looked ponderous and lumbering, as if they had eaten too much turkey yesterday. Credit to our boys for taking full advantage.
Doubly pleased as I confidently predicted two goals and a win for is, to much nay saying derision in the bar beforehand.

We only won as once Charlton took control we removed hiwula from the middle as the we had zero chance of occupying possession down their end

Shipley was poor and mason as a defender is lacking
Seems to me to be a better footballer than Brown. I for one would like to see him get a run in the team.

A hard working performance! Hyam and Willis stood out for me and Sterling made some excellent runs, as did Mason especially in the first half. Kelly was very influential and good movement up front meant that the Charlton defenders had a difficult afternoon.
I really think that the Bayliss haters should wind their necks in. Yes he made some errors but I thought his body language was first class and he turned the negative in to positive.
What a difference today! The crowd turned up. After the Luton and Shrewsbury games, where I thought our crowd were poor in their backing, today they got behind the team from the start.

His body language was first class? How do you have first class body language?
If it was bakayoko smashing passes out of play and shouting at his team mates for it and shaking his head I doubt it would be first class body language.

They wanted to play from the back so it was instant pressure, I don't know why we don't do it more often

Watching Liam kelly sprint 20 yards through the middle to press their players on 3 occasions pleased me , I love that style of football , maybe robins should watch how klopp sets his Liverpool team out and take notes , teams hate being harassed for 90They wanted to play from the back so it was instant pressure, I don't know why we don't do it more often

Are you for real? He kept plugging away, didn't hide, made mistakes yes but still powered forward.
That is first class body language. He had some of the crowd on his back but was prepared to put himself in the line of fire and got his rewards.

Bayliss is still learning and that goal will do him a world of good !
Which would you have, a player who plays shit for most of the game but scores the goal that wins the game ,
Or a player that is outstanding for all the game but doesn't score and we lose the game .
I know which i would prefer !
The lad needs encouraging and not to be afraid to make mistakes !

Just got in from the game and read through the whole thread - this one takes top prize in the "can't praise certain players whatever they do" category. You praise the "nice patient play from Kelly", but just can't bring yourself to acknowledge the part played by Chaplin - the run into space, the turn and the cross.
I do think you've broken your record for slagging off individual players today though - Burge, Mason, Shipley, Hiwula and Chaplin....you must be feeling awful that we won today?

I haven’t hardly mentioned Shipley Burge or mason. I think Chaplin is nowhere near good enough to be the most expensive signing since the championship

I just think there’s no balance and you can be negative about most of our players as we generally lose over the lasT 40 years or so and be right. Last season one needed to be a little more balanced
