Tbf They had a high line last night which enabled us to fire balls off to get him away.

It's not always the case, clearly.

When teams have a low block that particular practice is fucked no matter how much we fanny around with it. If they are sat back they are sat back.

Exactly.  Different game usually at our place.

Last season Charles benefitted (superbly) at Reading and Port Vale to name two, we hardly get those situations in home games, where one pass gives him a chance to take them on for pace.  That goal at Vale was one of his best for us, virtually a year to the day.

I was thinking I'd seen that Tomo goal somewhere before. 

Remembered now - a night match away in October, at Wycombe.  Santos pass to Sheehan, Tomo bursts through the middle and Sheehan picks him out with a lofted ball over the defence. 

Keeper comes out, lobs it over him superbly.  Won 4-2 for our 2nd win in 4 days (the other last year was v Northampton). 

And Toal scored our 3rd goal from a corner in front of the Bolton fans.

Temporarily squandered a 2-0 lead in that game! Watched it on a balcony in Bodrum
