A much needed win! At first it looked like it might be a long afternoon as Charlton had a lot of the ball,and every time they came forward they looked like they might score.Ricky Holmes again the star man as he made things happen for Charlton all afternoon.Holy made a decent save in the first half,but we had the ball in the net in the first half when Clare`s free kick hit the ball,but Zakuani was offside when he headed the ball in from the rebound.We grabbed the winning goal early into the second half through a well worked goal which Eaves slotted home.The atmosphere got better,and Charlton forced Holy into 4-5 decent saves in the second half.An idiot Charlton fan who I read lives close to me set off a few smoke bombs to delay the game,so we ended up playing 105 minutes when you add on injuries too.Charlton threw everything at us,but we stood firm as a Team to record a massive win! They created much more than us,but the hard work was rewarded.Holy MOTM for us with some stunning saves.Our last win against Charlton in the league was 88 years ago,but the most recent win before was in the FA Cup which another keeper Bossu produced some fantastic saves.
The win lifts a little pressure off Pennock,but we have to build on this win at Rochdale on Saturday now.
