    We played quickly in the first half: bright and probing. Good moves - until Lookman misplaced the simplest of passes, and Harriott muffed the one-on-one with the keeper.

    Our strikers are comical; who needs Nogoals? Vetokele is free, ball at feet - and it skids under his boot. He did the same at The Valley two years ago against Millwall, and it was comical again today.

    I like Simon Church: he sprints at the defender, makes a block. It has taken our 'strikers' two seasons to understand. They are hopeless and funny, sauntering without intent. Calamity Harriott does a double step-ever, then trips over himself.

    Lookman is a child, stumbling over a beach-ball, a toddler crashing in to the plastic furniture in a the back garden of a pebble-dashed semi in Strood.
    It has taken has four years for our keeper to release the ball: quickly, kick low and accurate, set the strikers free. Elliot did it accurately - it helps.

    After the debacle at Bolton a few weeks ago, Jackson said: "It's all our fault." He said: We have failed you.

    He is damn right.



    I think you're being incredible harsh. To say Harriott fluffed his lines is ridiculous, Heaton made an absolutely brilliant save. Lookman at times lacks a final product/decision making but he's 18 and he should have won a penalty early on. I agree that Igor struggled, but to compare him, or any of them, to Churchy...

    Gonna hope the drink is speaking a bit on this one.
    @SDAddick. Meet Mr. @Viewfinder. You'll get him after a while. He's a pain in the arse with verbal diarrhea, thinks he can write but actually writes bollox to get a reaction.
    Hi Viewfinder, a pleasure! As a man known for incoherent ramblings (though not ones designed for attention necessarily), I can certainly relate :).

    @Rob good point well made. His second post really drove that home.

    Sad day yesterday. Like many it will be my last home game until this lot go.

    At a guess I would say only 3 or 4 of yesterday's starting 11 will be with the club next year and who knows what more damage will be done by a summer of RD/KM's decision making.

    Good luck to those who've renewed. I wish you hadn't but understand why you have.

    Fingers crossed that takeover talks are progressing.

    If KM and RM left at half time, as people have said, who stayed to be the official face of CAFC after the game to the Burnley board? Disgraceful!

    Lookman is a child, stumbling over a beach-ball, a toddler crashing in to the plastic furniture in a the back garden of a pebble-dashed semi in Strood.


    I was born in a pebble-dashed semi in Stood, but I can't work out whether to be flattered or offended by your comment.

    Depends on if it was a bungalow or house.

    You are always harking on about the past. The trouble with that is you won't be able enjoy the good times when they eventually happen because no one will be able to reach the heights that former players reached.
    The problem with Lookman is we won't see how he turns out because this child, as you put it, is being scouted by the biggest clubs in England.
    Ben Hamer was pretty good at getting the ball out quickly. And at times Pope got the ball out quick too.

    Fucking joke these stewards are.

    I wish there was a way of banning every Burnley fan on the pitch from any game next season, mugs

    Totally agree!!!!!! Those burnnley supporters running around pitch with anti Roland posters sacrificing their moment of glory to fight our corner should not only be banned from every ground in the country but also shot in the street.

    I was critical of them before today on another post but think that the support from them at full time was brilliant. It's ok though Roland. Only 2% ran onto the pitch and joined in
    Couldn't give a toss if they had Roland out banners or not, sitting in the home end and jumping up when Burnley score, and then threatening a woman in her mid 50's because she calls you out about it, then when they get removed by stewards, they suddenly pop up at the bottom of the JS stand giving us all wanker signs. Then to cap it off going on someone else's pitch at full time, breaking hoardings along the way and continue to lord it up in front of us. No class whatsoever from the northern twunts
    Sam
    From what I witnessed on the pitch after the final whistle and talking to a number of the Burnley fans you are wrong about the majority of them and why shouldn't they jump up when they scored, OK if they abused someone that was wrong but that was a minority and what's wrong with being from the north of England?
    oh yes and you can't spell cunts
    Shouldn't be in the home stands in the first place though should they, so certainly shouldn't then jump up when Burnley score, or sing Burnley songs. May not be the majority of them but that was the only interaction I had with their fans and therefore that's my view of them.
    Thank God Charlton fans have never been in the oppositions end or gone onto their pitch on securing promotion or becoming champions.

    On the way out of the ground after leaving my season ticket on Black & White scarfed Sam Bartram statue. I saw a hooded Adeola Lookman taking pictures & selfies with supporters at the back of the club shop at the back of the west stand. Adeola got a rousing & spontaneous chant & song as he left, with a few good lucks (for his next club, 8 million and counting being talked about between, Tottenham, Chelsea & Liverpool). Although he is still a raw talent, it is clear Adeola will be a class act.

    I was thinking that seeing Adeola walking away into the car park, that this was the last time, I will see him at Charlton. A premiership star of the future, but not at Charlton, whilst Charlton tumble down the league. Remember what Murray said about not having to sell the young, talented players at the club. More meaningles regieme lies & empty promises about the future. It was a sad and telling end to the end of this rubbish season.

    Good post, vff.

    Have you alerted the police to the loss of your "m" ?

    The senior management talk about learning from mistakes and working hard to get the club back on track but there's no evidence of this. In fact everything they do deepens the rift between supporters and the club and increases the level of opposition.

    The netting, brainless body searches of OAPs and one-sided heavy handed stewarding yesterday tell us that they have learnt jack and are not working to get us back to any level of normality. They either don't want to or don't know how to.

    Now I won't be renewing my season ticket but I will be going to a number of away matches and going to the occasional home match, particularly where protest events are planned. And I'll be moving from the Upper West to parts of The Valley where I can get more involved.

    I suspect there are many like me that won't be renewing but want to support the protests. The matches remain our best opportunity for visible protest.

    The challenge for CARD and something for many of us to ponder is how we adapt our tactics for the next phase. Yesterday convinced me that we can keep the protests going despite the falling attendances and that Charlton Athletic is a cause worth fighting for.

    Murray has no say and no mandate. His mask slipped a long time ago. I would so love Peter Varney, not Luke, to come back and dismiss Murray as his first act.
