Very impressive performance. Hard to pick a weak link (maybe Norris but he worked very hard).
Long may it last.

We didn't win much this season before Donald Trump was elected as President.
Just saying.

Anyone know who the guy to the left of sherwood was? He seemed to be in constant communication with embleton, great win, let's keep going now
Was it Seamus Brady? Not sure what Brady's job role is anymore as he was Director of Football before Sherwood arrived.

For once this season we had a bit of luck running our way, it's said things even themselves up over a season, and I reckon on that basis we've a bit to come yet. Things certainly looking a bit better than 2 weeks ago.

A lot more pace from the start...and we put quite a few challenges in.
Makes a difference...

Fucking hell...I do believe I actually have some buzz...first time this season.
Players can feel proud of themselves to a man.
Didn't over play, made direct runs, gambled at times, row Z when they needed to and showed determination. Everything we have been lacking.
The only negative is the chances we missed!
Hope we kick on and this isn't a shock result!!

Kasim was the difference I think. Perhaps it was just for the cameras?
Goddard, BOO and Jones also impressed.

Sherwood hasn't had enough time to change much, but key things changed today. Whether that's his doing, TV camera's or simply an 'impress the new boss' attitude from the players time will twll.
In an average quality half the main differences in recent weeks were a) We were working our nuts off and putting in challenges to get the ball back, b) we didn't piss around with it as much - when we needed to get rid we did - going longer as necessary.
It still took 30 minutes to get a shot on target, the goal was fortunate a training ground masterclass, but none the less we almost totally nulled Charlton's attack. Not by luck, not simply because they were incredibly shit, but through hard work a doggedness. I think they had maybe two shots on target all game and a few corners.
Second half there was only one team in it, Doughty linked the front and midfield up nicely. The full backs were good, the midfield tackled (even Kasim) and played the ball around with more pace and we looked dangerous.
Yes the strikers are only good up to the edge of the box, yes we were playing against shite, but we earned that.
Viva la revolution. Hopefully.

We competed for the 2nd ball and sometimes the first one as well. Charlton were truly shit. Lucky first goal. A truly woeful attempt by Murray who I thought was generally crap. The second goal was a typical goal that Town would concede. The third was excellent and summed up what we could achieve rather than what we had. Direct, Kasim at his best, a telling ball and wonderful finish with no fucking about. Jones is ok but he does love losing his man at set pieces. Furlong and Doughty make a massive difference and I would be happy to have them both in red full time. Goddard rightly MOM. Kasim and Doughty also very good. Lets hope we can keep the momentum going and do Eastleigh Tuesday.

Really enjoyed that, great performance. There wasn't a weak link today, we looked solid at the back, pressed well, high work rate and a good shape to the team.
More of that please.
Anywhere I can rewatch it? I know sometimes Barry Scott or Si Pie record games?

Just watched the game after work - where has that team been all season?
Neat, tidy, controlled, error-free football. Very impressed.

Hang on hang on. Firstly I didnt know it was an early kick off, and secondly was it on tv as well?
My thoughts exactly

Likewise, no idea it was an early KO.

Bastards have got a thread us 3 are excluded from where they discuss tv matches i reckon. I swear I have never seen one mention of cameras, or the early KO.
