Tonight's was the 111th match (over nearly six years) at which we've taken a 'Members of the Opposition' photo - the dreaded 'Nelson', eh? And guess what? It was the first match where not a single visiting supporter had the confidence to display his/her colours. Doubtless there were loads of them in the RoD tonight, but you'd never have known. So, no followers of The Orange One could be offered the opportunity to join in with our little tradition.

But, never mind - tonight we had an alternative. Four Dutch fans, who back home support De Graafschap of the Eredivisie, approached us for a chat and were made very welcome. Luckily, they picked a cracking match with loads of authentic English atmosphere, and when we saw them again in the pub after the game they were almost as happy as we were

Apart from 5 or 10 minutes at the start of each half Charlton were comfortably in charge, but it took until the hour before we went ahead with a snap strike by the admirable Luke Varney who pounced again just before the end of the game. I love the way that he just keeps on running, constantly causing problems for the opposition's defence and opening up space for his colleagues. He was my man of the match tonight. Matt Holland was also brilliant - a captain who leads by hard work and example.

Greg Halford's debut was a revelation. His long throws are the equivalent of a corner to us, and his neat turn and dash towards goal frankly deserved better than the near miss that resulted. Youga continues to excite, but I really wish he'd concentrate on his game and not take needless risks. Lloyd Sam continues to irritate me immensely. He might have pace but he doesn't concentrate hard enough and often loses possession needlesslly. Still, tonight was a night to savour, no matter what.

So, for our latest Members of the Opposition photo we lost out on the Orange One's supporters but replaced them with substitutes from the land of The House of Orange - how appropriate
