haven't beaten us yet and I reckon we'll come out on top today.

(Purrington? It sounds like a sunny village inhabited entirely by cats.) Anyway, we'd been slack in the build-up to the goal with one or two players not keeping their eye on the ball. The Charlton fans were in good voice but so were we when we soon won a corner and then hit a good patch at last. We won a free-kick at the right angle of their box shortly before the break but Morgan's effort was well wide of the mark. It remained 1-1 at the break.
As we waited for the second-half to begin we wondered when McGeady would come on as we'd lost control of the game. Charlton had replaced their goalscorer with Jason Pearce as we kicked off again. There was still everything to play for but I was feeling a bit gloomy. It was end to end stuff in the first ten minutes of the half and then Grigg came on for Maguire to much applause. O'Nien was involved in a clash of heads and had to go off for a while and then Grigg got the first booking of the game after a striker's tackle. With a quarter of the match left it was still all up for grabs with both sides having their fair share of attacking play.
