Speaks well and held my attention for 10 minutes. Clearly lots to say and 'unpick' for them. Didn't explicitly give us any credit but he's despondent and probably doesn't want to detract from what he feels is 100% their set of issues.Raith_C_Chattonell said:This is the sort of bloke who you could leave on the phone while you go off to have dinner and find that he's still talking when you come back.
Hind legs, donkey don't come close.

He picks out Hamer, among others. So many mentioned Hamer as the key man before the game and this chap had higher expectations too. Did one of ours do a job on Hamer, or collective effort?

I think a lot of Sheffield United’s problems are that they have a really good squad of great individual players, but there hasn’t been much thought to how they fit together as a squad/team.swords_alive said:

Did one of ours do a job on Hamer, or collective effort?Hamer is their best player, but O’Hare is also one of their best players and they play the same position, so Hamer ends up out on the left (or out of the team in Selles last game). I think the owners were hoping to sell Hamer this summer and maybe reinvest in the rest of the team, but it didn’t happen and they ended up panic buying poorly at the end of the window instead1 -
I think this is probably accurate, if you looked at things like passing stats or xG etc etc then Hamer is a "better" player than (for arguments sake) Docherty... but Docherty has a specific job in a team/formation that he was chosen for, whereas Utd were just a collection of 11 players to a certain extent.NabySarr said:

I think Wilder will probably do enough to at least keep them up by the end of the season but there's a distinct lack of overall vision compared to Jones’s very definite plan.3 -
They do have some good players but there is something missing. I can't see them getting promoted but they shouldn't be at the bottom. A problem they have is I think this is their final year of parachute payments. Mind you, Luton have a bigger problem in terms of that. And it is not a good look, sacking your manager, then sacking his replacement and bringing back the manager you sacked a few months earlier. It suggests a club which is badly run and rudderless.
Wilder should come out and say that this season is about staying up and next season is about having a push for promotion. A bit like Nathan Jones did with us but at a lower level.1 -

Imo he just hit it as it came to him. No time to think about where to place it. Just hit & hope. 50% of the time it goes in, 50% the keeper saves it or is blocked by the defender. In recent times the percentages for us have been 10/90 (Leicester comes to mind). On this occasion it went in. No point dwelling on it. Move on.paulsturgess said:
edited with even better image. huge gaping goal to aim at to GKs right, or the roof of the net, but that's going straight at the keepers body. that's not where you should be aiming for!!

Could we maybe get an experienced ex pro like Simon Church in to coach Tanto 1 on 1?4

Many?TheHerminator said:The NJ playbook to a tee.Our defence is superb, let’s be honest. Soak it up and take one of the many chances.
Be nice if we could take more than one but this is still early season with a striker who doesn’t look confident. You hope that the goals will come more freely in the not too distant future0 -
Admit it, that’s your pessimistic other log in.golfaddick said:
Now if I had posted that....🤔balham red said:I like Olaofe and of course was delighted with the winner, but he's lucky that went in because it was actually a poor finish considering half the goal was gaping and he hit it straight at the keeper.0 -
Poor is harsh. How about “not overly impressive”?TheHerminator said:
I’m not telling you not to be happy? Why would I do that?balham red said:
Im not joking. Can't I be happy it went in but say it wasnt a good finish?TheHerminator said:
Can’t work out if you’re joking or not…balham red said:I like Olaofe and of course was delighted with the winner, but he's lucky that went in because it was actually a poor finish considering half the goal was gaping and he hit it straight at the keeper.
I'm worried you’re serious
Look:
im saying the finish was all he could really do in that situation and with that little time. To say it was poor is wrong in my opinion0 - Sponsored links:

So Tanto gets the three point winner in the 90th minute away in the rain, but it wasn't a good enough goal.
On the up side the ball burst during the game.8 -
Just catching up with it all. I’m treating this as a 0-0 and 2 dropped points due to a shitshow of a finish by Tanto. Embarrassing.35

Arent strikers taught to aim between the legs and low on oneon ones? Finish was perfect0

Steve, Gavin & Paul Elliot were on our train to Sheffield.altrinchamaddick said:At the game, bloody fantastic, the emotion in the away end when we scored was something to behold. I was battered from left and right, everyone was leaping around with the enjoyment of the moment.
Enjoyed some of the chants at the ground today. As you know, they also have a player called Tyreese Campbell ( notice the slight spelling difference) When he was on the ball, the Charlton faithful started singing, ' You're just a shit Tyreece Campbell, shit Tyreece Campbell.........'
The other one I enjoyed, rather childishly, was when Wilder came onto the pitch after the final whistle, and our fans started chanting ' Sacked in the morning, you'll be sacked in the morning....etc'
A perfect awayday performance, strong defensively, was impressed with Burkes performance, Bree had a few sloppy moments in the first half, but grew into the game and came on strong in the second half. Nathan's game changers came on and applied the pressure on their back line for the last ten minutes, resulting in the goal.
To cap it all I ended up on the train to Manchester with Steve Brown and Gavin Carter. They were off to Dumfries for the RSK AGM, on Monday, giving a presentation about how the sponsorship is going.
Steve Brown had organised the trains, using trainline, but their were gaps in trainlines information about the three changes they needed to make.
Using Realtimetrains, I was at least able to point them to the right train and platform at Manchester, hope they got to Dumfries OK. Call us trainspotters!
I've never met either of them before, Steve Brown was such a lovely fella, and he thanked me for sorting out the train connection at Manchester. Gavin Carter was also engaging, and asked me why I was a season ticket holder, living in Manchester. I now officially love Steve Brown, and Gavin Carter looks like a steady hand at the wheel.
Only downside, they were drinking Budweiser on the train! Shame on them!! What about some decent English beer.0 -
Interesting thought - though we do keep playing him “right now”…🧐Oggy Red said:
Perhaps Kelman wasn't especially bought for right now - more for a future time, as tactics and style evolves?peterreeves said:It's clear to me and a few other lifers that Kelman has the ability but the service to him is absolutely dire.
Just running at teams with TC feeding off scraps must be soul destroying for the lad. In six league games his average playing time is only an hour!
I really hope that Charlie gets some support perhaps from Knibbs if Carey gets pulled otherwise I'm dumbstruck as to why Nathan ever bought him.1 -
He’s OK - needs service and a system that suits him. It will comeEveshamAddick said:

That first touch from Bree - that bit of quality - won us the game9

It was a perfect cross. Think that's harsh on Apter though, he's put in some brilliant crosses so far this season, which those in the box have not made the most of.Southbank said:
Followed by the inch perfect cross, which none of our other wing backs seem capable of, sadly. I would keep him in the side for that reason.mascot88 said:That first touch from Bree - that bit of quality - won us the game11 -
You say perfect but he should’ve better accounted for the effect the falling rain and atmospheric pressure had on the grass blades in front of Tanto, bearing in mind Tanto’s wet feet, before putting it where he did, when he did, and how he did. Could have saved a lot of post-match anxiety and resulted in a better quality of goal imo.Southbank said:

Just caught up with the whole thread , that’s a monster result and one more than needed .
Petrolhead went by coach and said they didn’t get up there till 2.30pm , apparently the coach driver doesn’t use waze/google maps ….div .
Said it was utter carnage when the winner went in he had two lumps diving on him during the celebrations, also wore a vape at some stage in the celebrations as well , not sure if it had come from Sheff Utd above .
The result is all that matters for us because all the huff and puff needs to produce points not ifs and maybes and our defensive side is firing on all cylinders with the attacking stuff not fully charged up yet, hopefully more to come on that side otherwise we’ll be in for a long hard campaign.
Petrolhead and me or Mrs , going to Derby and stopping down the motorway somewhere on the night before dumping him back off at school next day.0% Top 2

The whole team has to adapt to the higher level. It has done most of that very well and Jones alluded to the chance creation and finishing as something he thinks will come. I am happy for him to get on with it and am encouraged by the overall level I am seeing in this division which is higher of course, but not as strong as I expected.2

I hadn't looked at the table in much detail, apart from knowing where we are and who are the current bottom three.Obviously we're only 6 games in, but a great feeling to see we are currently above the likes of Southampton, Ipswich (do have game in hand), Norwich, Derby, and Sheffield United. That's a lot of talent and money who have not started as well as us.A long, long way to go, yet proud of this group of players to have fitted in to Championship life so quickly, and it's clear we're only going to get better.7
-
My flabber has never been so gasted reading that our striker who SCORED a goal, the winner I will add, is getting slated because "it wasn't a good finish and right at the keeper"
Scored the winner and still gets criticised....you cant make it up!!
Overall point is who gives a shit how it went in, just be happy it did and we won the game!16 -
Yea. Over the last 3-4 games we've created a number of really good chances that we arguably should've scored from. I can think of at least 5. Some were really good saves from the oppo keeper and others I think we should've done better with. We definitely should have more goals than we doAddicksAddict said:
