Fair comment and we all know goal scoring comes down mostly to confidence and sharpness but equally it’s instinctive and I would argue Taylor gets himself in those positions far more often than Winnall. But then they are different players - Taylor wants space. Winnall wants to be in the blender.Was it last season - or the one before - when Taylor went about 10 games without a goal and was missing tap ins like that on a weekly basis. Winnall at least got there (almost), unlike the one late on that Holland slid across the six yard box waiting to be tapped home. We should encourage Winnall because he could be lethal at this level once up to speed and properly fit. We created some great chances today and that’s with Whyte not at his best, Taylor and Winnall could fill their boots this season.
Absolutely not. The club is fully up to date with all payments.It was mentioned to me today by the manager of F&B that it was something to do with unpaid service charges.
Could that possibly be correct?
How quiet were the Charlton fans. Couldn't hear them all game [emoji6]
A fantastic result, and one that shows just that we can play great football, but also work really hard when needed.
Williams looked more comfortable at right back than I thought he would, and although positionally naive at times, his work rate was incredible. Nicking the ball away on the edge of the box and knocking in a rebound 10 seconds later shows real desire, and I'm not sure that's something we were expecting when he signed.
Brannagan was back on the top of his game, and he looked like a kid when he scored! Proper made up and it lifted his game even more.
McNally is very much ready for league one football, and looked more than good enough alongside an excellent Thorniley. Considering he's only been at the club a couple of weeks he already looks like a real leader and one that battles for absolutely everything. Seddon also looks like a real player. You can see why we made him our key target at left back.
Winnall did all the ugly stuff well, and was ridiculously unlucky to give a penalty away when the ball looked to hit him in the face. But there's no excuses for the miss other than he perhaps checked his run not to be offside, but he has to score there!
And that would have been far reward to the excellent work you Sykes, who has really looked to focus on his delivery. Having Whyte back at the club might just give Sykes the confidence he needs. Both were talking a lot during the game, and will be some pair if we get them both playing to the full potential.
But with so many great performances, I also thought that James Henry played a captains role today. He did the hard yards and tracked back far more than I've seen lately, but also was unlucky not to score.
So, overall lots to be positive about, especially as I think we've still got a couple more gears in us and plenty of players to come in to keep things fresh.
Most definitive video I've seen of the "penalty" yet, certainly looks like it hits Winnall in the face:
Sounds like oh rollocks or something can’t quite make it out ;-)Watch the extended highlights and listen to what is whispered at 4.46 (halftime). LOL!
Where we were it seemed that it was given for a high foot in any caseMost definitive video I've seen of the "penalty" yet, certainly looks like it hits Winnall in the face:
Great result and entertaining game
Have to say I was disappointed with the attendance 8400 considering Charlton almost sold their allocation
This would be the first chance to see the Yellows for a year for lots of people
To give some perspective the relegated STFC got 9400 v Carlisle who I imagine wouldn’t have taken their full allocation
Thoughts?
The addicks fans aren’t overly impressed with ClareMe too. I saw absolutely nothing from Clare, apart from a decent half hour at Plymouth, to suggest he was anything other than a really poor signing. Totally over run today and if it’s true about the fee we got for him, that looks one of the best bits of business we’ve done in years.
