Interesting game. Until the second went in there was always the outside chance they might nick one against the run of play. Charlton have some good, strong quick and tricky players (17 was a handful) they aren’t afraid of hard knife edge challenges. Some were desperate and ragged. A physical side but they did try and play football. Just don’t think they are a bonded unit like us. 
 
We earned that win - could have had more, some lovely breaks and passing only to stumble with the final touch / bobble / pass / shot 
Thought the team played well and for each other. Love White, calm and controlled with some classy passes. Kept things ticking brilliantly. Got clobbered by their aggressive tackling - NML, Barks, Dobs all got hammered heavily too. Maybe legal but at times pretty ugly. Cash deserved his MOTM for a great performance against a bruiser (that was an old fashioned CF/CB personal war) and his goal. Even when he gets “done” his tenacity in recovery is exceptional. McG was a real line leader, Knight is our turbo overboost, never gave them a minute. 
 
Barks looked really peed off when subbed, first time I’ve seen a bad reaction in this squad .. what was that about I wonder? Still, the South Stand gave him a great salute so hope he’s back on side so to speak.

Come on @LazloW! Need at least a couple of game s to call it a 'run' ? Anything less is just a game, isn't it?

For those of you that spotted my post on page 1 of the NHS thread may recall I was planning a change for my pre-match ritual, following the recent sag in performance/results.
Well, I can confirm I went ahead with this morning's plan, and it seems at first glance to have been a roaring success.  That was much improved performance, and a very welcome and deserved victory.
I guess this means I'll need to erm... ahem... "pop to the post box" every match day, from now on!  ??

Excellent 3 points 
just seen Manchester City misses vs Red dogs - unbelievable Jeff 

He’s just been stretchered off.
Not seen the tackle but according to fans on Twitter, the injury looks like a very bad one…

Solid 2-0 win, controlled the game, scored from a set piece, clean sheet, 3 points in the bag. Enjoy your weekend folks! ? 

Cashin given motm by Ramstv, he’s been back to his imperious best today after a shakier performance in mid week, topped off with that class header… well done Cash ? 

It was wasn't it? 

Springett and Collins on for McGoldrick and NML. Sibley also playing in midfield, chance for him to impress in a more natural role.

Jason Mohammed almost got to the end of the sentence describing Cash scoring before deciding that describing a Chelsea miss was more important....?

White off for Roberts
White very good..

You need to see a domestic violence counsellor. First your wife stops you going to the game and now she's knocking you about. I'm always here if you wanna talk. ?

4-1 Lennon wheeldon

Fapetu given 2nd and 3rd goals according to the feed I was looking at.

The one song that fills the ground with voices is the "21 points" "phuck the EFL" songs and that's because we all feel there was an injustice, Anger can be a good motivator at times  

There are singers but not always there and I just want next generation to join in but I can tell some parents tell them off for doing so. I try get mixture of family friendly chants and other ones.

I don't think that's quite what they're saying.  They're saying they saw evidence of multiple sources of finance, but that was fine. I suspect a lot of bids would involve multiple sources, e.g. it's quite possible that Clowes bid involved some of his personal money, some from other family members, some from Clowes Development Ltd, possibly even some financing from somewhere etc.  Multiple sources probably isn't unusual, what matters is you can prove that you legally have access to that money, which presumably Kirchner did at the time.
The weird bit is the EFL claiming they withdrew approval at any relevant point.  From what I remember, the timeline was basically we/Quantuma asked for the money a bunch of times, and eventually Kirchner withdrew from the process when it became clear he couldn't produce it.  If the EFL had withdrawn approval at any point before that, the entire process would have stopped dead and we'd have known about it.  The EFL would have absolutely used that as a reason to criticise Quantuma in public again.  But I don't remember it happening.
So it sounds to me like the EFL are trying to claim that they were the sensible ones and stepped in to stop the takeover, when in actual fact they probably withdrew approval after Kirchner had already dropped out.  So textbook bolting the door after the horse has bolted, and typical of the EFL trying to save face when they've screwed up publicly again.

You say that, but that little nugget with the EFL now saying we withdrew our approval when we became aware of multiple sources of funding during the bid?! ??????. We know if Kirchners money had landed he would have been the owner.
That organisation is something else, blatantly lying to cover try and cover its own backside!!
