Not a bad half for the Charlton players... Started slowly and looked like it was going to be a long day the way Southend raced out the blocks but they created nothing, have created nothing and all their set pieces have been rather poor to be honest, Phillips has had sweet FA to do all First Half really
We've grown into the game and should definitely be ahead; Bauer's header straight at the 'keeper; Cullen's knock back to no one and Ajose's shot wide all could have resulted in a goal had we played better... Individually I think Cullen is making a massive difference whilst Ajose has probably been the best of our attacking three so far - Bielik though doesnt seem to be having as good a game as previously, few silly decision from him have resulted us getting into a bit trouble as a result - Hopefully Fosu and Vetokele can come on at some stage and make a difference (if needed)
As already mentioned, Referee is as useless as the rest... Pearce was booked after one challenge despite two nasty challenges from Demetriou that has so far earned him nothing, whilst the spray lines used for Free-Kicks isnt a difficult rule to follow but both the Southend player and Referee decided to ignore what happened (Its credit to Cullen's performance they did that as his crossing has been excellent) - I'd have to say that even the Pratley decision was stupid from the referee, yes it was nasty and even I thought it deserved a booking but it didnt need five minutes for the referee to decide that, should have been getting his yellow card as he ran up to the incident leaving it done and dusted in seconds

We've had all the ball but not really come close to scoring. Got late Southend winner written all over it.
The Addicks end the half on top but there are no goals to report from the first 45 minutes at Roots Hall. #cafc

The visitors have probably shaded that first half but they haven't found a way past Oxley #SOUCHA
