Date: Saturday October 22nd 2005
Venue: Fratton Park
Opponents: Portsmouth
Score: PFC 1 - 2 CAFC

That was the last time we won on our travels, 15 long months ago. Today, we ended that dreadful record and beat Portsmouth 1-0, at the same ground we recorded our last away win so long ago.

It seemed like a dreadully boring match, but from 5Live's commentary, it sounded as if Charlton were on top for most of the match.

When I checked at half time and it was still 0-0 I was pleased. I never thought we would go on to win the damn thing!

It all happened with just over 10 minutes to go, former Pompey favourite Amady Faye popped up and scored. And what a goal that proved to be, we managed to hang on and clinch the victory. What a way to lift the spirits of the team and the fans. We deserved this. We needed this.
