    Who can we blame? We need a scapegoat. :neutral:

    Probably Leko's fault.

    Statistically most likely to be Santos given he is playing twice.

    What an awful game. We look lost and they look unwilling to attack.

    Really don't understand why you are consistently so harsh on the kids.

    Terry has said repeatedly that we're missing a lot of players to loans, injuries and illness.

    We have an 16 year old in goal.

    Coventry are well on top and deservedly lead but we are moving the ball well and starting to get back into the game.

    Viggers had a good chance and we're sustaining some pressure now.

    I wouldn't exactly class 'we look lost' as being that harsh. Seems a pretty fair observation of the actual game.

    Of course if you take all the other factors you mention into consideration then it's probably to be expected.

    It's mainly a bunch of raw kids though, Dazzler. Most of the 23s team is out on loan.

    Context is all.

    Last week a player scored a hat-trick but was called "cumbersome"

    Fact is we've got back into the game, we don't look lost at all now and that's with a very young side.
  • Followed mostly every u23s game on Twitter this season. Confident to say that Aaron Henry would be POTY for them. Definitely look worse when he’s not playing.

    It hasn't been an awful game at all.
    Plenty to interest, and plenty to catch the eye.
    The world below first team level is a hell of a lot more enjoyable at Charlton than the rest of it.

    Deserved.

    Lovely equaliser from Andersen after good build up.

    Mr Cumbersome with the assist 😉

    I like Anderson. When I have seen him play my talent radar always goes into overdrive. More so than Lennon and even Kanu.

    2-1 a worldie from a resurgent Santos.

    The lads really do like to pass the ball.

    Joy to watch even if it doesn't always work.

    Plenty of running and tackling too. Not afraid to get stuck in

    Just seen the first goal, was a joy to watch build up play like that.
