Charlton 2 - Brentford 0, We can't stop winning!

What a nice habit Charlton have at the moment. We can't stop winning! Another victory on Saturday came courtesy of Burton and Sam with a two nil scoreline against Brentford. That makes it six wins from six and the doom and gloom of the summer seems very distant.

Charlton fielded another unchanged side with an unchanged result. It was a Brentford player who made the most telling contribution to goal number one, as Mark Phillips' error was converted by Sam into an assist for Burton on eleven minutes.

A fifteen-pass passage of play ended with the ball in the back of the net as Sam turned from provider to scorer after thirty minutes. Charlton controlled the game throughout, though Rob Elliot was forced into making a superb save to avoid a nervy end to the game. 

The Addicks remain at the top of the league, though they share their eighteen point tally with Leeds, who also kept their own 100% winning record intact today. Hopefully, the five point gap over third place Huddersfield will only grow as the season progresses.

It has been a long time since a Charlton fan can be so pleased. Things are going well at the club, on the pitch at least. Parkinson has done an excellent job in keeping the takeover from affecting the players, something the previous manager appeared unable to do when Zabeel approached the board last year.

And, on that note, Pardew's Southampton side is next up. The south coast club again failed to secure their first win despite playing against ten-man Colchester for much of their game on saturday. The atmosphere will certainly be interesting at the Valley next week. Another win for Charlton, or will Pardew get his first at Southampton and end our record-breaking streak?
