Spoke to my brother and he was leaving for home. I said, but we are winning. He said he is finding it so depressing - there is no atmosphere in the ground and 5k there at most. At least we look to be avoiding relegation, but what is there to get excited about. This is a piss poor league one! Glad the traffic stopped me going as his description has depressed me and I'm sure I would be even more depressed if I was there. Welcome to Roland Duchatelet's vision.
Got held up by Theda lays on South Easten. Got in grabbed my season ticket and had something to eat and then asked myself why I am I bothering going to see this soulless crap after a hard day at work. For the first time this season apathy won.
47' Daniels slices the goal kick to Gobinson. Chix gets it for the throw in. Takes it. To Josh, to Ricky, to Novak, to Chix, but closed down. To Konsa, to Tex, lofted forward. Hopeful, but without hope. Wallace gets it, back to Daniels, he goes long. Straight this time. To Tex, headers to chix, to ricky, Clarke gets in there, Jacko makes a tackle and goes for a throw.
Thrown forward, Jacko wins, to Clark, Aribo gets in there, but his ball cut out. Mirfin, back to Daniels. We press high. We're like a third tier Liverpool.
Rudd goes long to Josh. Fails. Bishop gets it, back to Daniels. Long again. To Van Veen, to Dawson, out to Van Veen and then Chix gets in there, long ball... to Novak, looks for a late arriving Josh, but can't find him. Cleared. to Ricky, to Jacko, to Chix, to Novak by the corner flag, back to ricky, crosses, but Bishop goes home and Daniels clears.
50' Toffee takes a throw, and Crooks has it, Aribo cuts out, 1-2 with Novak, towards the corner flag, to Chix, his first time cross is cut out, Ricky fires a shot well wide. He earned the right to do that last week, can't argue with the man.
Aribo wins the ball, to Holmes, but Morris gets in there. We win it back, Chix down the line, cleared, back to Konsa. Poor ball, goes back to our keeper. Holmes to Ulv, makes a run, inside to Josh, to Byrne, beats a man, crosses... cleared by Dawson. Jackson cuts Holmes out!? Oh SHIT. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WERE TWO HOLMES ON THE PITCH.
If RD has his way there will be lots of homes and flats on the pitch
Daniels goes long. Tex wins the header, Konsa but Crooks, Byrne gets it, to Josh, back to Wallace now at the back, to his left, Toffee fucks it, and we have a throw.
ricky to Byrne, to Ulvestad, to Ricky, clipped to Josh, cut out.. .Crooks counters, Bishop goes diagnal (!), foul surely! no, Bishop crosses, Byrne cuts out. Wallace, loses it... It's a bit messy, they had an attack but we cleared despite poor ref decision.
Comments
Players seem to know what position they are playing and the team have a shape.
Chicksen and bryne gives us some pace at the back.
So far so good but you know about Charlton and one goal leads.
Thought bar the ref and Jacko we've been shite and they have been even worse.
Wonders.
I know that makes no sense.
Rudd goes long to Josh, to Aribo, bad foul on him. Advatage. Chix to Ulvestad, but his touch let him down. Goal kick.

Ricky gives the ball away. Madden '17 to Mirfin, he loses it under pressure from Novak, and we get a throw.
