Charlton Athletic 3 Fleetwood Town 2

I was off the radar yesterday. I think that is what the glued-to-the-election-other-half said to me when I eventually got home last night before falling asleep on the sofa.

Thanks to Benjy Nurick’s Twitter feed I did manage to follow the game and at 2-0 with us steaming forward at every opportunity and not having conceded a goal forever the game sounded a forgone conclusion with just over half an hour gone.

Spoke too soon I said to myself after Ched Evans scored twice in two minutes to bring Fleetwood level.

If the first half hour was a show of quick passing and movement and overloading our opponents in offensive areas at every opportunity, then the 2nd half was a gritty togetherness combined with quick counter attacking to get all three points.

Overall, and I didn’t see it, it sounded a dogged yet incisive display, and it is important to learn to win all ways.

Fleetwood are a good side and will be up there at season end making the three points even more valuable if possible. Pleased for Albie too.

That is a run of 7 tough games in a short window, and now we get a bit of a breather from the league. COYA.

Bow’s thoughts: “I thought it was a very good game. Two good teams, trying to play the game in the right way.
