Bristol City 0 Charlton Athletic 2
Superb result yesterday. I know little of the game as I was on the way to the Gillette stadium in New England throughout the duration but I did manage to catch up with some opinions last night and it obviously was a very solid performance.
It’s never a bad time to get a goal, but the timings of the yesterdays were significant. Haynes got the all important first one to reward our dominance, and by he sounds of it, his own display. Then another in the 2nd half, which Morrison snuck away like a seasoned striker, to end any potential nervousness, add in a vital clean sheet, and it was smiles all round. For the first time in a few weeks I am now looking at different teams around us in the league table.
Despite a decent start Bristol City are having a tough time of it, so importantly we didn’t become the side that helped them to get back on track, we simply piled on the misery for their fans and grew a points differential between us and them below.
Danny Haynes has made a difference and now we need him to stay fit. Fuller also got on and helped close out the game but he’ll have to vie now with Hulse for the ‘no.9’ jersey although the ex-Stokie has the best eye for goal in the club. There were also honourable mentions for the midfield trio of Jackson, Pritchard and Stephens.
Good stuff.
