Good to see Dillon Phillips out there warming up today. He’s been roughly treated, now is his chance to stake his place long term.
We don't tend to win when Pratley starts (4 wins from 13 starts) Marshall doesn't get many starts (1 win from 4 starts) Best of luck to Albie Morgan and Toby Stevenson today I'd rather see the gaffer take a chance on hungry young players than keep going back to guys who haven't done it this season.
This is the weakest starting X1 of any Charlton side of the Duchatelet era. Quite a claim when you think about it.
It is vital we get three points today. SeriouslyRidiculous says that winning today will make us more attractive to any interested buyers
Very impressive starts from both Morgan and Stevenson. There is real pace and energy about our side today. Walsall look poor.
Highlight of an enjoyable first half - a spectacular goal line clearance from the leg end that is Naby Sarr. It brought a bigger cheer than the goals. Bielik is hobbling and has had to be treated on the pitch
Naby in his natural position makes him such a better player , much more comfortable on the ball than Pearce As a footnote biggest in the shower as well
The next goal decides the game. Walsall came back into it towards the end of the half, and could still nick something.
Taylor goal disallowed, Just had a look at the replay, can't see anything wrong with the goal. It was a good positive header, but the goalie went down and got a free-kick, as they do.
We peaked in the first 7 mins, and have gradually got worse. In the second half we have made them look like Liverpool at times. Second to every 50/50 ball. Stand out performances from Stevenson and Morgan ...not so good from Fosu and Reeves, both of whom need to contribute a lot more. The real attendance today is about 8,000 including 150 from Walsall.
10,396 was the official attendance, so that would make bums on seats around your 8k figure. Strange really as SeriouslyRidiculous reckons our gates will increase by 500 on a regular basis to see a winning team. #totalwum
