Shrewsbury v Charlton - Post Match Views

AFKABartram

Ho hum, that’s that then.

Bit of a frustrating, needly game where they dominated physically and put the foot in all over the shop. Another day could have been very different, we had a clear pen and they got their goal in their only ten min spell of the game.

But it’s not to be. Pick out bits and pieces but over the two games we were probably edged and never created a real clear ‘should score’ chance in either game

Over to you

We were poor but so were Shrewsbury, awful league.

Oh shut up. The standard in league one has never been so good.

Shrewsbury played well and deserved it over two legs. Hope they win the final.

I mean they were the better side over two legs. I'm sure there will be anger and frustration at the players, we can second guess a lot of Bowyer's decisions over two legs, but they were simply better than us, and we shouldn't lose sight of that. They finished 16 points above us and were in the top two for most of the season for a reason. And as with the game at The Valley in February, they made us look worse than we are.

The away supporters up there were ace. You could hear them clearly on telly throughout. Safe journey home everyone.

Next season will be better.

Went out with a whimper but we’ve got the right management team in place at last. Sign them up, sign a couple of forwards and a Centre mid. Keep Amos. Get the takeover done.

Then sit back and enjoy the World Cup.

Calm down. It was a poor game.

Shrewsbury deserved it. They brushed us aside physically (and sometimes dirtily). We need players like them in this league rather than moderately talented small players.

BigRedEvil

Shrewsbury were better over the two legs. We lack cutting edge and physicality which has been the story of the season in a way

kentaddick

Bowyer classy in defeat. Refuses to criticise his players, the referee or any Shrewsbury players

robroy

Fine margins make the difference. Wonder strike and then the elbow, pen etc.

All I can say is I’m proud of what Lee and the boys have done of late. Onwards we march, we all love the club.

We will have new owners. The fans back. It’s all good people. We will actually get our Charlton back.

Sunderland away. Messy weekend haha

Can’t wait for it

cafc_4life

If you don’t test opposition GK over 2 legs, you don’t deserve to win.

We didn’t

Callumcafc

Poor game but not because the players weren't trying. We go again next season.

When we won the League in 2011/12 there were four / five teams going for the automatic spots

Two years beforehand you had the likes of Grant Holt | Wes Hoolahan | Rickie Lambert ripping up the league

This year you've had Wigan and Blackburn, thats it - Shrewsbury stuck with them for so long because of Wigan's cup run which left with them with a mountain of games in hand

Shrewsbury have absolutely shithoused their way to Wembley with their antics but we certainly don’t deserve anything based on our performances over the two legs. The takeover can’t come soon enough. Here’s to better days ahead.

Bedsaddick

Well done Shrewsbury. Totally deserved. They did a number on us in both games and knew we were lightweight and we couldn’t deal with them.
There is a reason they finished 17 points ahead of us and it’s not hard to see why .

I hope whoever is manager next season strengthens this side ( literally) and gets in a couple of strikers who know where the net is. Magennis and Ajose are not those people .

I hear Accrington is lovely in January.

If Lord Bowyer had been in charge all season Shrewsbury wouldn't have finished 16 points ahead of us and we'd already have been celebrating promotion.

cafc4life

Jokes aside , I will fucking drive Konsa to Everton or wherever he wants to mince about at. The guy is the most overrated player we have ever produced. Total nonsense from him again today at times.

Kashi should of been on that pitch today . Would of showed more fight than any of our other supposed midfielders . Would love to keep Amos and Dasilva but that won't happen . Please please please let us be bought now

We might have to take Jackson off organising set-pieces though.....they have been a pile of cack for a fair while now (although with better players, normally comes better set-pieces).

Classy post match comments from Lee Bowyer. He has done a great job. I would love to see him get the job permanently.

But you know that Lord Bowyer will be waiting by the referee's car to twat the bastard when he tries to leave!

Laddick01

Thought I’d be more angry really, but I’m just not
I’m still convinced Ajose would do a job for us with any kind of service
Forster Caskey looked like he’d played too much football
We need Ben Amos on a permanent, he’s absolutely incredible

New owners, new players and the league looks a little bit weaker next year
I fancy us providing the club doesn’t become more of a mess than it already is

Not with this team we wouldn’t.

We never win on telly.

Take-over announcement now please.

hoof_it_up_to_benty

Need better players - too many passengers in the team. Squad nowhere near good enough.

SHIT

pilchard

All in all rather embarrassing. No shots worthy of the name. No real fight. Nothing to set the pulse racing, a poor second best over two games and as lacklustre a performance as you will ever see in the playoffs.
Desperately weak. Shrewsbury did a thoroughly professional job on us and deserve to go to Wembley. Since I don't give a shit about Rotherham or Scunthorpe I say all the best in the final to them.

Sillybilly

Bowyer. “Were they the better team over two legs? I dont think so”. Cmon mate. They were head and shoulders better than us. We were a damp squib. Fair play for getting to the play offs under all of the circumstances but it was a total anticlimax.We were poor and we need a clear out from top to bottom. We flattered to deceive but we all know the reasons. Fuck off you Belgian twunt. We clear out and start again.

All three great points, including the one about JFC. He just looked dead on his feet out there. He was our best player in the run in. His workrate was incredible. And like a lot of our team, he ran out of gas.

Rob

Shrewsbury did what they needed to do and were much the better team over the two legs. Two nice goals that came when they were needed and, apart from the first 10 minutes at the Valley, they contained us how they wanted.

I hope Bowyer/Jacko are given the chance to see what they can do to turn things around. A lot is needed in my opinion.

We've let ourselves down in these playoffs and Shrewsbury were vastly the better team. Showed why they finished on 87 points and deserve to be at Wembley.

charente addick

Best team won.

Now let's get the takeover done and build a stronger foundation.
