West Bromwich Albion 1 Charlton Athletic 1
This will be short and sweet as I’ve just got back from the tennis in New York and it has been a long day, and I didn’t get to see any of the game this afternoon.
Very happy with a point, the Baggies have started the season well, and it sounded like we were under the cosh a fair bit.
Bindon, Alli and Mwamba all started with Nkeng on the bench, and it was the game-changers that were pivotal in our point winner.
I was checking on the game a fair bit, and it sounded as if West Brom were unable to break through our rear-guard in the first period.
However, once they took the lead in the 2nd half, I have to say I thought that was it, so to see us come back from behind again was brilliant.
Okonkwo made a couple of fine saves, but couldn’t do much with their goal.
I watched our goal back, which was a great break from our half by JRC, then Mesik barrelled down the line, put in a lovely cross, Leaburn challenged two centre-backs and it fell to TC, and he had the net rustling in a mere second. Lovely.
Excellent result and kudos to the almost 1,000 Addicks who made the journey.

I am on holiday in sunny Majorca and couldn’t follow the game directly but a good friend and fellow Addict in Cheshire kept me up to date. It was a wonderful fightback to secure a point! It may be that we are just having a run of good luck but I think that it is more than that. NJ has built a team that cannot only defend but can score, a team that we all longed for last year. All credit to him and to the owners who have backed him financially. We currently have a team to be proud of. May it continue throughout the season this time!
A resilient performance with a committed contribution from Bindon in the first half the stand-out Charlton player. He faded a bit in the second half unsurprisingly but l feel with him alongside Jones, they will be a formidable partnership. Bell was solid too and Danny Mac did well to contain Styles . With the winger’s that Charlton have they could work the channels better and retain possession but a very encouraging solid team performance.
A good trip to west Bromwich last night a good result from a battling addicks under the cosh after half time but managed a equaliser, brilliant from the subs jrc and mesik. Motm Lloydy coyr
I will always take a point on the road. Yes,we were under pressure for long spells, but the defence looked solid for the majority of the ninety minutes…..I would like to see Rankin-Costello given a start in some games, as when he comes on he adds something extra to our midfield. Binden showed his experience at this level too. Onward to Stoke,and a tricky away day. COYR.
