Well, Jim Davidson's old joke still applies, except these days it's nil goals conceded !
We looked very lively at times and apart from a couple of scares, and despite the pressure from Preston at times, we did not seem likely to concede a goal.
And what is about Charlton and these last minute goals in both halves. If nothing else, this may stop the early leavers! It must be a new ploy to keep fans in their seats ... and it might work!
Nicky Weaver had a terrific game and is fast becoming a favourite of the Charlton faithful ... who would have believed that a while ago!
As for player ratings:
Weaver - as stated above, had a great game ... and I loved his push on the Preston striker late in the game ... Get Out of My Way!!!
Mills - excellent, very important player for us these days
Basey - may be young, but putting in good displays
Fortune - made some important clearances
Sodje - I like having him in the team, got to buy him before other teams notice how good he is
Sam - excellent down the wing, key player these days
Semedo - still often an unsung hero, great at what he does and makes no song and dance about it
Zheng - improves every game, must be going down a storm on Chinese TV
Reid - not his best game, and a few passes went astray but still the right man for captain
Thomas - one of his best games for ages but went a bit quiet in the 2nd half, extremely influential and scared the Preston defenders
Iwelumo - not many teams know how to deal with Big Chris and played a key part in the 2nd goal
Ambrose - not on long enough to decide
Holland- looked useful
Varney - excellent goal
And the fans ... first class. There may not have been many of you but on TV you came across loud and clear ... well done to those who made it up there.
The next few games look very interesting ... the top of the table at Christmas will give a good picture of how this division will pan out, I think we are only now beginning to gell, and yet we are in 2nd place.
As we all predicted, this is an enjoyable season ... and the final result still looks positive.
