AdTheAddicK said:seriously pissed off with that. perfect opportunity to pull clear. Portsmouth's B team turn up and roll us over.many saying performance wasn't as bad as Millwall or Southampton, I disagree its worse.we are by no means safe at all, tonight was a perfect opportunity, and we delivered that.
WorryingNever was this comparable to Southampton or the spanners debacles, having said that it was a hard watch being rolled over to a team in desperate trouble like us. I thought Portsmouth were awful at Fratton.However, I am looking at third bottom and the next two games Leicester have are away to Stoke and the smoggies, those games they could easily lose and potentially we are ten in front of them come next Thursday.

He needs to take responsibility for that abject performance. He's likely paid 20 or 30 times what those fans earns who shell out their hard earned to expect to see EFFORT.Busterblitz said:

We don’t do things by halves. When we are shit we aren’t just shit, we are a cruise liner full of passengers with Noro virus shit.
Played ok for 10 mins in the first half and 5 in the second. Other than that it was as bad as we have been all season.
Nathan Jones has to come up with a way of playing against teams who want to play through the thirds and pass and move at a decent speed.
I have said it all season, the style of football we have adopted is barely palatable when we win, when we lose it as about as depressing as it gets from a football perspective.
Hi lights again how important Bell is. He has a stinker and the defence suddenly look vulnerable every time the ball goes forward.
People will point at the ref and yes he was a clown, but so far from the reason we lost that.
The pitch looked dreadful, but in theory our game plan doesn’t require any grass on the pitch so shouldn’t cause us an issue.
We have another team (Southampton) who play football on the ground at the weekend and I can’t see past anything but a repeat of the result at the Valley.
I’m bored of saying it, but until we sort the midfield out we going to continue to struggle.23 -

Thats not necessarily on Jones though is it...? - You'd expect the 11-players on the pitch to be able to show the effort required without their Manager having to tell them to do that...bobmunro said:

Just clueless….no ability to play a killer pass or beat a player in midfield…..Carey always with his head down …. Dumb as a rock…..never been convinced by Kaminski….gives up a soft goal and no emotion…..too many players picking up a paycheck and not giving a shit……even Bell was poor tonight….the one Luton player we should have picked up was Alli !!5

Humiliated at home (again).Joke keeper gifts them the first
Joke ref gifts them the second.We don’t have a plan B, so we get beat.3 -
No Rankin Costello again but Carey and doc playing the whole match. Fucking shit stain manager. Fullah no where to be seen again. The little cretin in charge needs to grow some bollocks occasionally6

It will be "I take responsibility" to start followed by him absolving himself of responsibility and "individuals battles lost" for the rest of the interview.bobmunro said:

No doubt he will come out with “I’m more annoyed than the fans” just like Millwallbobmunro said:

What replacement options out there were better than what we have, to play at this level.AberystwythAddick said:

Look at Leicester's next two games and breathe a sigh of relief mate.ct_addick said:Shit football….deserve to be in L1 playing like that…cant see us improving playing these tactics…. Struggle to scrape wins and then get blown out every couple of games…..think we will be back in the shit after next 2 games….

The referee is not an excuse. Can’t argue a lot of the yellows and probably not the penalty either. Pompey out played us and we couldn’t have complained had they got four or five tonight.
I’d love to know where Nathan Jones thinks these awful performances come from. He needs to get on top of it. Such a drastic fall off from the last few games.Still not convinced Leaburn and Dykes should play together. We look much better when it’s just one of them.5 -
Jones gets it all wrong again. You cannot expect to win games of football at Championship level with one attacker on the field plus two lumps up top.What frustrates me with Jones is he doesn’t seem to learn. We put ourselves at a massive disadvantage from the start. It’s not a dig at Dykes or Leaburn, both have played their part in getting results this season, the former clearly can work well with a runner off him, but the two of them together just has to stop. Neither can drop deep and be comfortable enough on the ball to continue to build an attack and from the get go it’s just hoof ball, even if one of them wins the first knock on, the chance of the other getting there is minimal. Must be an absolute dream to defend against for players at this level.
We made an injury depleted Pompey side look way too good tonight and once again that’s on Jones as far as I’m concerned. We were genuinely really competitive against QPR and Stoke but 4 points from this run of home games now suddenly feels like the bear minimum.
Jones’ old club next up away from home, really cannot see us getting anything there for a multitude of reasons and suddenly we are right back in it with a trip to West Brom, we really need to step up for that the way Pompey did tonight or it’s going to look bleak again. Just nowhere near good enough tonight.15 -
Think the apathy from the poor midweek crowds gets to the players…..17

Jones said after the Millwall game my team will never play that bad again. I was at Millwall looked pretty similar to me . Total shite. Not a clue tonight, all those strikers we have and can’t score.13

Doc came off but sure. Fullah did score for the U21's tonight, surely a better option than bringing on Luke Berry and his zimmerframeNicholas said:No Rankin Costello again but Carey and doc playing the whole match.

Where is the midfield mobility and pace? On loan to Blackpool and / or playing for the U21s.5

Ultimately it is on Jones, he's paid to take that responsibility - and being so oblivious to that by being surprised at fans' reactions says it all.ForeverAddickted said:

As bad as the spanners performance. Just awful, don’t play Leaburn & Dykes together up front. Every foul they moaned to the ref and we received a yellow. Kaminski is pony.4

What has JRC got to do to get a game…brilliant against Coventry…..NJ does my head in…..7

Well we now know home gates Re declining again. Watching performances like that, to often this season. It was a little better than Millwall away.1

Held back by Henderson and KaminskiCafcWest said:Nathan Jones remarkably restrained tonight - where was the screaming and ranting!What are the players paid for then? - They're not paid to shirk the performance are they?If we have Footballers out there on the pitch, representing Charlton, who cant for a minute work out that they need to put in more effort without being told by someone else being paid... then that is a huge concern. Surely when you worked in your line of work, you'd want people beneath you to show initiative and drive without needing to be told their roles and responsibilities every five minutes2 -
Piss poor performance and yet another game that highlights the lack of quality in the side. We're screaming out for a midfielder who can take the ball forward and pick a pass.
Summer recruitment looks more and more criminal as the season wears on with Bell seemingly the only player of championship quality that we signed.3 -

At least as bad, probably worse as (pains me to say it) Millwall are light years ahead of Pompey.2
