Oxford United 0 Charlton Athletic 3

An enjoyable routine performance for the 400 Addicks at the Kassam Stadium tonight. It was easily our biggest win of the season and means we make it to the FA Cup 4th Round for the first time since 2009.

Familiar foes Huddersfield might not be everyone’s ideal tie, but it is only the 2nd time in 8 seasons that we have made it this far and allows us to gather a bit of momentum after a stop-start new year.

As far as Chris Powell is concerned, it was a much needed win, and hopefully a major morale booster and players and fans alike in Oxfordshire appeared to enjoy it.

I was going to say that Powell picked a strong team, but to be fair he didn’t have a lot of options. Alnwick had recovered from his illness and it will more than interesting to see if he retains his place on Saturday – I am assuming Thuram will be available.

Danny Green did what he always tends to do against lower opposition, and impressed. Yann, not for the first time, was the man, and Simon Church provided the telling passes for both first half goals that effectively killed the tie.

Finally it was great to see Diego Poyet come on and make his debut. Another ‘one of our own’ to wear the famous red shirt, and a young man that shows a lot of promise.
