Will Lancashire triumph at Happy Valley? Charlton (A), Saturday, 28 January, 12:30pm

It’s a massive result and a superb performance. Only the finishing was missing. Now let’s beef up that defence in the market. Big few days ahead. Hope injuries are nothing.

Well said that man.

All about recruitment and fitness now.

Which will be helped by the fact that we don't have two games a week for the foreseeable. A chance to up fitness levels and get those injuries sorted. Also a chance to get the new arrivals familiarized to our way of doing things.

I fecking love this club!

Can cheer us up on a dreary day. I have to paint 14 kitchen cabinets this afternoon and I'll be doing it whilst whistling with a cheeky smile.

COYWM!!!!

You and me both buddy. I was supposed to be getting the downstairs bathroom painted so I can get it tiled and then install the lavvy but the kettle kept getting in the way. Luckily the wife's in bed resting up or I'll be sleeping with the pooch tonight

In all the excitement and nerves…Declan John looked back to his best. Deffo an option now. Maybe 1st choice.

[DJBlu]

The injuries, I really hope, are just minor and are being protected.

Shoretire, looked to kick the underneath of the Charlton defender. He got up and tried to carry on but we all know they can be small breaks or hairline fractures.

I'm baffled with Johnston, he got a knock on the head and was complaining about his ankle. I genuinely hope it's just concussion protection as the goal came from the gap he left.

We looked like we have more than one way of playing which is great, and God forgive me for this, I have to agree with Insano about Bradley. He's getting in some great positions and it's breaking down.

Shout out to Declan John. Professional when he came on. Might we have a club that makes the players realise they aren't indispensable?

edit:

I think I'm going for a lay down, as I've just posted this and Insane has also said similar about John. God help us all.

On the ball, yeah. Off it, no.

However, not played in ages and clearly was struggling a bit with his hamstring.

He's a perfectly good player at this level if he wants to be involved. If he stays he can be very important to us. Probably would have been less of an issue defensively with Johnston behind him, too.

Collision in mid-air makes you look at the head injury, but look at the way his entire weight lands on the leg. Not a comfortable fall and certainly something that may cause a problem. I thought it may be his knee at first.

He got a knock on the head and then landed awkwardly on his ankle.

It was like one of those boxing leg injuries where a shot to the head drags the fighter's leg under him as he goes down. Can be really nasty.

Wouldn't be surprised if he was concussed, though. He looked very groggy after.

[GhostoftheBok]

Looking forward a bit, isn't February just a month of supposedly "gimme" home games and away nightmares? Bloody hell.

Didn't Shoretire pull his back when he tried to shoot - looked to be holding the small of his back when limping around?

I think Johnston landed badly on his ankle after the mid-air collision?

Agree with this some nice stuff going forwards but looked a bit ring rusty (which can be solved), but for me, there's fairly clearly some not seeing eye to eye going on and I'm less sure that's going to be solved

Quite the testing month that. Especially with the Accrington semi aswell.

[Bertie Wooster]

What an excellent performance that was, and could easily have been 4 or 5. Outstanding from everyone, great to see Declan John back it was clear to see today that he's our best option at LWB he didn't put a foot wrong, he looked quality.

Dempsey (really good), Santos, Morley, Bradley, Toal all outstanding as was Shoretire, the only slight disappointment was missing so many chances.

[Harry Genshaw]

Fantastic performance and great result.

One of those days where everyone played well. Shoretire has tremendous vision. Santos back to his none shall pass bastarding best and big shout out to super Gethin Jones. Such an assured performance in 2 different positions.

Many Charlton fans saying that we are the best team that they have seen at the Valley this season.

[Bruce Rioja]

I shall return here when you've all calmed down a little bit. Had they sneaked the equaliser then you'd all have had a very different take on events.
Today raised more questions than answers.

[GhostoftheBok]

Nope. Regardless of the final score, that was a superbly coached side that needs to do more in the final third and was then disrupted by injuries.
