    Thank f**k Football for a Fiver is over for another year

    Normality in the stands can return next week
  • Mixed feelings. 

    Frustrating not to take 3 points from a home game again.

    But Blackpool are the form team in the league (minus Barnsley and Luton), so maybe should be happy to take a point. 

    Goals scored is certainly the major concern and other players have to start stepping up and scoring.

    Taylor really needs to strike up a partnership with Igor or Parker, it will take time but that means the midfield need to start chipping in with goals. Aribo getting back to fitness will help. Shit result.

    If Blackpool are one of the form teams it shows how weak this League is... they were never a serious threat (Phillips had the day off) and had to defend for their lives for about 70% of the game

    Can't be happy with a point at all. 

    Should have won that game but in credit they defended well but we should have won it as we had the chances which they chucked the bodies in front of.

    Poor today, very very poor. Was it one shot on target for the entire 90 mins? Not good enough at home, and 3 points from 12 is dreadful.

    I love Taylor but he needs to be smarter. If the ref blows up against you early doors for backing in, he's going to do it all game. 

    After being impressed with Parker last week, today showed how we got him on deadline day from Gills. Ineffective.

    It was good to Aribo back, but he really needs to shoot more.

    Thought Reeves was particularly poor, and that free kick along was worthy of him being pulled at HT, has he ever scored a FK for us? Genuine question because I can't recall one yet he takes them all.

    The January transfer window may have deflated the team, but it's about time they sucked it up and pulled a performance out of the bag. There's no way that side today wins the playoffs.
  • Taylor needs to get his shoulders back, the sulking was boring today.

    I was surprised too when checking the form table.

    At least we didn't give it away in time added on which I thought would be nailed on.

    Ill today so slept through most of it. Followed the last 10 or so.

    Poor game. 
    Never looked like scoring.
    Sarr was the best player on the pitch . Taylor’s worst game for us. What does Parker bring to the table? 
    We are much poorer without Solly at right back.
    Should have stayed at home.
  • Blackpool defended really well, but we looked toothless. A poor run of performances since Shrewsbury really.

    Be lucky to make the play offs. 

    Reeves and Parker were a pile of shite. Igor looked unreal for 8 minutes and Taylor was a prick.

    No end product. Winless in 4 games and the game before that we won cos of a 90th minute gift of a pen. 1 goal in 5 games from open play aswell. Without Grant the other team’s defence just have Taylor to worry about, and that means he’s almost ineffective. Once again Roland has ruined our season
  • Three draws and a loss in the last four games. These last few results are so disappointing following a good run when we were eyeing a shot at the autos. Still, I should know better now ....this is Charlton after all. Frustrated today but would never dream of supporting anyone else. It's part of me. 
  • Wake up Bowyer and sort that midfield out. Poor form since Cullen return to the side. Totally unbalanced.

    Utter tripe, normal football for a fiver afternoon.
  • Taylor, Aribo and Bauer were all back in the side. Were we any better than we were against Southend? 

    Since we’ve lost Grant pace up top we've ended up playing in front of the oppositions back four and can’t find a way to get behind them. We’ve lost our ability to counter attack with Steer and Grant leaving.

    The final ball was terrible except from Aribo in the first half which Parker didn’t connect with. 

    All very nice to watch but we didn’t do enough to deserve the win.

    Realistically will Cullen, Williams, Marshall, Lapslie score one goal between them now and the end of the season? Probably not.

    Lee Bowyer has a big dilemma coming up, because as it stands we are too easy to defend against.

    Crap game, thought I picked the right weekend to work last weekend- turns out I should have worked both!!!!

    Aribo looked the most likely to create something, thought Purrington had a solid game and Igor should have come on 20 minutes earlier.

    Another season fizzling out
    Suppose we should be used to it now. 
  • Midfield just isn’t right square pegs in round holes, and both full backs are awful going forward Dickstill is shit, why did he play in front of Solly

    Watched on stream and listened to Blackpool commentary on radio. Thought we gave it a decent go second half but final ball had to be better and nothing fell for us. 

    From the Blackpool perspective the commentators felt they were under the cosh most of the second half and were grateful for a point in the end citing their defender Tilt as man of the match. Their side had put their bodies on the line and defended for their lives getting blocks in time and again and I can't really argue with that observation. In fact they could have nicked it had Armand Gnanduillet scored from six yards late on.

    Cos of the height of Blackpool’s team. Their number 21 was their only threat and he would have had a field day in the air vs Solly

    Our final ball from wide is getting worse. And it wasn’t particularly good to start with

    Didn’t think it was as bad as some. Disappointing to see Taylor throwing himself all over the place. The defender and the ref had his number, but it didn’t stop him acting up. Aribo looked good, but could shoot more and needs to drive into the box, not go back to beat his man again. Sarr looks world class. Blackpool looked a very good team for 25 minutes.but I felt we shaded it and could have won.

    PWR.

    We have reached that time in the season yet again under Roland where in some kind of existential form we realise (hoping against hope naturally) that for Duchatelet competing in a sporting competitive environment where success is the aim is simply not what Duchatelet cares about. The dawning realisation that creeps across the playing staff like a shadow over the sun is painful to watch. The (innocent?) belief on the part of managers and players that Roland is concerned, has been swept away because he sells half our goals without being bothered about it. The rest of us are bothered.
    Hasn't the same kind of diffidence been the destiny of every manager? At the time when you could do with the owner giving some support you feel abandoned. Powell, Riga, Peeters, Luzon, (weirdly possibly not Fraeye), Riga, Slade (his marooning happened even before the season started), Robinson, and now Bowyer. There has been opportunity with every manager bar Fraeye to do a bit of consolidating and move forward, and those opportunities are never realised.
    The fans sussed this from almost the start, that freezing meeting in Woolwich feels how long ago now?
    As for the details of the poor game, with only one on target effort from each team as far as I can remember, they seem less important this evening than what now seems to be the endless direction of travel under this owner.
    We made four changes from last week and it was unsettling. A decent Blackpool felt that, and we were threatened early on. As the players got used to things we got better, but the strangeness of the referee, the large crowd (!), and Taylor more interested in making points than usual (as in he usually displays his character after we score a goal). It was disjointed, unexciting, and for all of the little bits and pieces here and there it feels like a massive disappointment.
    When Roland realised it was Valentines day last Thursday, his partner anticipating a nice fragrant bouquet, probably got given plastic flowers.

    Taylor was a bit of a caricature of himself today, and not a particularly flattering one. he’s gone from winding up defenders to winding up refs. The word seems to be getting round the refs ‘don’t trust him’
  • Parker needs to play off the shoulder of the last man, but kept drifting back into Taylor territory. Igor made us more dangerous and should have come on earlier.
