So much for 'academy' day... Didn hear any reference to it at all!
Questions have to be asked of Slade, 2-1 with 5 mins extra time Why not bring your last sub on? Pacey winger in botaka or even anoth lump in Lennon/Bauer ... Strange!
You have to bring the second sub on before the last
No fight it would have been bloody 5-0 had their 'keeper not made save after save... Magennis, Holmes countless times and Lookman... then you had Pearce and Fox making countless tackles and blocks!!!

If you're referring to my post with regards to "no fight" I made it clear that I was talking about from the time of their equaliser to the end.
We were pretty good before but then just fell apart. There was no effort in that closing period.
Depressing. We got what we deserved- nothing . We desperately needed a second goal to kill the game off but with Ajose up front that wasn't going to happen and it was only a matter of time until Wimbledon scored. I didn't expect them to get a winner though. Lookman was sublime in the first half but he was anonymous in the last half hour and I watched him as he almost gave up. Complacency killed us .

I fucking booed, I'm not going to stand and clap and let the players think that losing 2-1 to a team of that standard is acceptable. Wimbledon were shit and that result is an absolute disgrace.
Too many people at our club are just happy to plod along, no doubt some will think this result is unlucky just like they thought a point was well earned against Fleetwood. We are utter dogshit and that bald twat Slade is starting to show why he's never won a promotion.
Doubt I'll bother with Millwall now, if we don't have enough about us to finish off a team like that, what chance have we got at the den?
Half and hour to go and we decide to sit and defend the 18 yard box, hoofing long balls towards Magennis... No fight, no passion... Utter shite. Manager needs to look at himself for this one...
The silliest thing about this 'tweet' is that there we no protests at Bury (lost), Cheltenham (lost), Fleetwood (drew), today the 'protest' ,if you can call it that, was wearing black and white. So this season so far, in all comps, we have won 2, drawn 4 and lost 3. That is not down to protests its down to not having a good enough squad - simple really.
Ajose needs to drop to the bench for a bit so we have 11 men on the field and then we will be able to win games. Put Lookman up front instead and bring Bokata into the starting 11.
Another terrible result. We have no chance of getting anywhere near the top six if we keep slipping up to teams we should be beating. Lost to Bury and now AFC Wimbledon and dropped points against Northampton. Not good enough.
Give it time - "Be patient" - and I suspect another might not be too far away. Unfortunately.
The sad thing, for me, is that I barely felt any emotion as Jeff Stelling announced there'd been another goal at The Valley. I've already seen that film.
Ive posted long ago that i stopped going to the valley whilst this mob are running the club so i cant comment on how we played. Just wanted to say that as a supporter you will know your self when its rock bottom and you can no longer go and support. A bit like a drug addict knows when to knock it on the head and say no more
A bit of perspective? We played well for most of that. Our midfield was especially pleasing. We wiped the floor with them for 75 minutes, then a good bit of skill and some shit defending from Solly and it's 1-1, at which point we have another bad couple of minutes culminating in the best cross of the game. It could easily have been 3-0 to us; Wimbledon got extremely lucky and yet the narrative has set in already - we're shit, everything's shit, boooooooooo. Play like that and we'll win more often than we lose. The only real criticism of Slade is that he didn't introduce Botaka; that aside I don't see how he could have done much more.

That said, it's time to get Bauer in.
We must be the unluckiest team around then, what with all these shite results these past few years.
I can't for the life of me fathom why those of you that work hard throughout the week give up your premium time to watch this utter clustetf***K of an organisation???

Yeah, this bloody narrative. The 'people being upset when Charlton lose' narrative. So trite. So passe. Ugh.
If Charlton create enough chances to win 50 times over but lose then they've had a bad day. We've lost to a team we should be beating. All this bullshit about how if it wasn't for the bit where we defended terribly and let them score we would have won is just that. It's not perspective.

I'm not disputing that they had a bad day. I'm disputing the ravening hordes on this thread writing off this team.
Haven't we had enough of that little word yet? Don't remember it cropping up very often the season we last got out of this league under Powell but heard it frequently enough in the five or six before that.
We just lost to a team formed 14 years ago, in League One at the Valley. Love this new era!
Slade's a likeable old fashioned football bloke, but let's be honest, regardless of our situation we should be attracting better than him - the fact he took the job in the first place speaks leaps and boundaries. Understandable he's got his hands tied but he knew he would, 60 seconds of research before he took the job would tell him he would have a tough job.
It's poisonous down at SE7 and will be until the owners go, Club's are more than just the team on the pitch and AFC Wimbledon are showing that - results like this today for them, well earned from continuous hard work off the pitch.

Cue HT and they obviously had something in their tea cause we were dogshit in the 2nd half, absolutely clueless
Can't explain that one

Right up there with "we're still fifth".
Russ Slade been in. Felt that not killing game off left door open for #afcw fightback. #cafc
Pointed out #afcw had two chances which took. Says had told #cafc they needed to be ruthless and efficient before the match.
