Jan 7
An important win. The Portsmouth result would have meant nothing unless we followed it up today.
We deserved the win, but true to form we somehow almost blew it at the end. As the weather deteriorated so did our confidence and Lincoln came within inches of equalizing as we played an unexplainable 9 minutes of injury time.
Please click for moreIt didn’t mean a lot, and I paid the game cursory attention from Barbados where I was watching my daughter at a swim meet, which had far more importance to me, but you never sniff at a win and a win it was.
Please click for moreWe should have won the game by four or five after a dominant first half display but in the end we were clinging on and after recent criticism Craig MacGillivray made a terrific save at the death to secure the 3 points.
Doncaster were poor, but this was a much better and more confident performance from the Addicks led by a fantastic display from CBT who caused all manor of problems. Donny even changed their right wing back at the break to blunt his threat, but CBT roasted him too.
Please click for moreA deserved win and a vital one at that and in all honesty we couldn’t have asked for much more.
It feels a long time, that’s because it is, that Addicks had that winning feeling. Although there was more relief than anything else.
Please click for moreNot Jacko yet although Thomas Sandgaard has joined yours truly in the UK this week, so watch this space, but today it was Corey Blackett-Taylor who signed a new contract.
The 24-year old was initially signed until January but has had his contract extended until the summer of 2023.
Please click for moreNot really sure how to react to that. The game showed us good, mediocre and bad. There was good character to come back twice from behind, but the 1st half was very poor and Pompey should have been home and hosed by the time we even got going. Yet, even then we had more chances than we’ve had in any home match this season.
Please click for moreSeven more changes from Nigel Adkins tonight, include the dropping of skipper Jayden Stockley, and it really was sh1t or bust for the Addicks manager. By the end what we had was probably our best 45 minutes of the season followed by a reverting to type.
Please click for moreAnother defeat, but it wasn’t just that, it was another game where we weren’t even in it. One shot on target and completely outplayed. Devoid of ideas, identity and confidence.
Don’t let the injury time goal from Lavelle turn your head or the couple of scrambles that followed. This was terrible, we deserved nothing.
Please click for moreThe 23-year old winger has been training with the Addicks, and today signed a short-term contract until January, which if not earth shattering is a sensible decision for both parties.
Blackett-Taylor came through the youth ranks at Aston Villa and spent the last two seasons with Tranmere Rovers but was released in the summer.
