Some really promising play so far, if Brophy had scored that might have given Harris quite a false impression though so probably better he didn't.

Is Neil Harris managing us in first or third person mode?

Decent so far. Well worked corner to get Brophy in for a shot.
Nice to see us putting in a bit of effort and chasing down a few second or third balls with a bit more belief.

Brophy was unlucky there. Would love to see him get one.

Decent first half hour. We've had the better of it and plenty of endeavour, just not too much actual goal threat. The ref is buying everything, from both sides, which is a bit annoying but at least he's consistent.

How the hell is that not a yellow card? You can just push over a player who's running into the box with the ball without getting a card now?
And ffs Andrew, what was he doing there?!

Why does Danny Andrew take so many of our set pieces?

An atrocious free kick from Andrew. Had to be seen to be believed

Think that's just a shank rather than anything else, his previous ball in was a cracker.
Definitely had the better of it so far, and whatever happens, we've not seen an away performance attacked with such gusto for a while.

Why does Danny Andrew take so many of our set pieces? I think Andrew is one of the better crossers in our team, and he did take a rather good free kick last Saturday !!

Decent stuff that.
It looked like we never really let Charlton get comfortable playing from the back or through the lines, our front four are timing the press well and working extremely hard to close down passing lanes.
We look a lot more like the side we saw at the start of the season with energetic pressing, good tempo, forward passing, recognisable patterns of play, third man runs and bravery on the ball.
Very happy with it so far.

Impressive and an enjoyable watch. Our passing and movement has been unrecognisable from recent months. Despite looking miles the better side I still have a goblin whispering '1-0 loss' in my ear, though. Charlton carry a threat with May no matter how few chances he gets.

While I would rather we don't find out today, it will be interesting to see what happens when we concede. We can't keep on capitulating like we have done recently.

The more set pieces we can get the better, because our corners have been causing issues all half. All that's missing is the goal. Because to chuck in a cliche, we're still prone to a sucker punch as it is. It's the best I've seen us play in a while. The pressing, the determination to win the ball back, the passing play, is all at a level that's been missing since the first month of the season.

Ah yeah, I noticed our corners. We seem to be hitting them flatter and with more pace.
The routine to get Brophy in was a lovely move.
