Thought Taylor was a liability today, getting a bit of a prima Donna , needs to get back to the basics!4

Basically what Powelly once did in that Stevenage away game in our title winning year.JoshAddick said:

Rubbish game . Taylor's antics annoyed me . Sarr MOM two weeks running . What is the point of Marshall ? Cullen is so overated . Not a good day all round .0

This is our blip. This our wobble. I think we will get on another run and cemment our place in the play-offs. There is long way to go. Top 2 is looking a real ask at present as that top 2 are looking quite decent. Will we be the lucky play-off team? I hope so. But they are lottery.

Football For A Fiver ... big crowd, even bigger disappointment.
As usual, a massive pile of steaming brown stuff gets served up when there's a big occasion.
I don't care what sort of form Blackpool were in coming into this match or how good their defence had been; if we're serious about promotion we must win these matches at home.
It was good to have Aribo back in the side, he'll need to be on top of his game to make up for the rest of the midfield being awful.
Crossing and passing were our weak points today ... again. When we did complete our passes they were often too slow allowing the defence to get back; crosses either hit the first man or sailed over everyone's head.
We need a team of Naby Sarrs: awesone in defence, great moving forward into midfield. He even shew us his shoulder drop this afternoon which left the Blackpool player looking like a mug and opened up the pitch for His Royal Sarrness. The only thing missing from his game at the moment is a goal ... although some (for example, Pearcey on comms last week) have said BeckenSarr is the best finisher at the club.
A few weeks ago our promotion challenge looked like this:
After the last few matches it' starting to turn into this:
The next few weeks (Wombles and Donny away, Pompey at home, and on TV) will be crucial, especially as we're likely to be without Lyle for the Donny and Pomley matches as he's nailed on to get booked against his former club.

Thought both full backs grew into the game in the second half although they don’t look comfortable that far forward and that’s why it doesn’t feel like the formation is right with these players available to him.0

Purposely not attending many home games, I don't want to dismiss what those have said before me. From the games that I have seen us play at home, yes we have the majority of the possession but we tend to do precious little with it. First time viewing Parker, in truth as a striker, he didn't get much service, although should have connected with Aribo's cut back. Surprised to read that people thought Aribo didn't play well, I thought he was outstanding today, especially as he'd been out for 7 weeks. I love Taylor but he has simply got to get on with things.... these petulant tantrums don't get him anywhere other than rile the ref, who was shocking and put him on a tightrope. I think if Williams get's a goal, he will possibly get 4 or 5 more. He has looked very good in fits and spurts but often doesn't have that final bit of magic. Roland has put paid to our promotion chances I feel. If we do get promoted it will be a miracle.2

Falling over is a vital skill in modern football. It's pretty darn boring to watch though.

A bore draw and a fair result.
We have very little creativity at the moment and very little up front.
The defence is fine apart from Phillip's poor kicking.
Reeves and Williams are similar in many ways.
Both flatter to deceive, neither create enough and neither look capable of playing for 90 mins. Both lightweights.
Parker was anonymous.
Taylor, well I am getting increasing disappointed and in fact angry with his histrionics.
He is doing himself and his team mates no favours by spending the majority of his time wrestling, play acting, throwing himself to the floor and then waving his arms in the air like an overgrown school kid.
I'm not surprised the refs are now giving most decisions against him.
I'm assuming they are as fed up with his antics as I am.
Taylor could be the best striker in this league if he wanted to play football.
Presently, I think he'd be a greater success at WWE.7 -
Too many players who look pretty but don’t score
Taylor was a bit of a fanny today for sure, but we must stop relying on him.
Having said that about him refs seemed to have pre conceived ideas, which he starts every game determine to reinforce. By the end of today’s game a defender could have broken his leg and the ref still would have penalised him.
So many in a red shirt went missing today
Thank god for the Nabster MOM again1 -
The midfield formation was all wrong today, the diamond just doesn't work with Williams and Reeves, leaves us too exposed and they are too similar players.
We were better balanced in the second half but with the front two having a poor game and the midfield being bereft of ideas going forward we were never going to score. It comes to something when you are relying on your centre half to play the killer balls.
We clearly miss Grant, i'd be inclined to play Igor with Taylor as his pace and runs can hurt defences if our midfield can find him. Looks like we'll lose Taylor again soon as well, one more yellow isn't it?
It's going to be a long end to the season, we'll need some grit and fight to remain in the top 6, Portsmouth (best away record in the league) and Luton to come.
On the plus side Naby is fast becoming the first name on the team sheet and a front runner for POTY which will probably be the biggest zero to hero in Charlton's history, Purrington is beginning to settle and looks a good player, if we can get our midfield ticking going forward we're still in with a chance.
442 with Williams on one wing and Marshall on the other, Cullen and Aribo in the centre.
We need to wake up next week and smell the coffee, can anyone see Taylor not getting a yellow at Wimbledon?9 -
I said this to Bowyer at the start of the season and he said I was wrong.Sillybilly said:
The way he plays he can’t possibly avoid being booked. He constantly backs into or under the defender which tends to con the refs into thinking he has been fouled when he hasn’t. Today’s ref, for all his other failings, didn’t fall for it. In addition, the constant whinging and victim stuff is beginning to get seriously on my tits and, I would wager, on the tits of referees too.robinofottershaw said:
And he managed to get booked yet again Number 9 isn’t it? Can’t see any way he will be able to avoid another booking and a 2 game ban.AFKABartram said: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’
He basically put the blame on all the defenders who he said were wrestling Taylor.
Sorry Lee and Lyle, but all this wrestling, throwing yourself to the floor theatrically, arm waving, whinging, fouling the goalie nonsense needed to be reduced months ago. It's cost 2 suspensions so far and probably a third.
If it happens every game (it does) you can't tell me Taylor is not mostly to blame.
It doesn't happen to any of our other players.
Taylor can be combative without being a twat.6 -

Well, I thought the 2nd half was our best midfield performance of the season. In the past after some pinball victories I remember reading glowing reports here and thinking ahh really yeah....? I suppose so...
Last night the team was driving forward as a unit with penetration, some one touches and our wingers got behind their defence on many occasions.
We didn't score...
But if we play like this in the future (Sarr as Libro, Taylor and Parker as team) we will.3 -
Because their big target man pulled off to the left time after time to receive long pints up field. Obviously a plan to attack solly which they stuck to without solly playing. Solly would have been murdeted in the air.northstandsteve said: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 Solly0 -
Most of it has been said already, but here goes...
1) What the fuck to the players do in training ?? Reeves hasn't scored a from a free kick all season (like Grant before him) so why is he still taking them ?? Do they not practice them ??
2) Taylor is really starting to get on my tits. Stop looking for fouls & throwing yourself to the floor & start playing football. Will definitely get booked next week & will then miss games against 2 of the teams that we are vying against for a top 6 place. Great.
3) If you dont score you won't win. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. We've not scored in 3 of our last 4 games....ergo, we won't have been able to win those 3 games even if the opposition didn't score. I haven't looked st the table (too depressing) but I reckon we must be the lowest goalscorers (by games played) out of the top 6 teams.....prob even out of the top 10. From now on in training that's all the players should need to concentrate on. No fitness or tactics now are needed. Just learn to bloody score.
4) why Williams was taken off I will never know.....and to replaced by Lapslie. Really ??
5) thought Parker had an ok game & Vetokele looked sharp when he came on. BUT expect the opposite next week when LB changes it around & starts Vetokele.
6) We won't win next week. AFC wombles are our bogey team. Expect by the time we kick off against Pompey we will be out if the play off positions.
Ps. I win the "football for a fiver" bingo. Had 2 numpties taking photos of each other IN THE AILE of the East stand....whilst the game was going on !! What the fuck ?? (Sorry mods) Where do they think they are....the San Siro ?? I did my best to photo bomb them & was more wound up than usual. Too many other incidents of letting late comers /drinkers / pissers/ foodies into their seats during the game. A half lasts 45 mins.....can their stomachs/ bladders not cope with inaction for that period of time.6 -
the walk from antigallican to ransom walk prepared us for the game , plenty of huge piles of dog shit , why don’t people pick that crap up , filth .
such a dull game and early on I couldn’t see there being many goals .
All been said above re the match
as the scum and palace(more than likely) march on to the quarter finals of the FA Cup we can concentrate on being wank in the league , sad times
Just had my 7 year old with me today (the others all away with wife and in-laws for half term) he was bored shitless and wanted to go at half time
one upside to today the allez allez allez song is in his head and he didn’t stop singing his own limited similar worded version of it all the way on the walk back to the car and when I closed the door after putting him to bed he was still warbling away , he’s been well and truly brainwashed and he hates murrrr (millwall is banned from being said in our house )5 -
Covered end was crazy today, dunno how much @Baldybonce saw but stewards must have spent at least 30 minutes of the 1st half removing people from standing on the stairs and trying to get people in seats, at 1 point I heard 1 say if someone is in your seat just go anywhere else hahagolfaddick said:Most of it has been said already, but here goes...

Indeed Paulie it was crazy and led to something i don't like doing which is arguing with our own. Some of them peeled left and right and squeezed in front of people already there. I removed two from in front of the kids in front of me and placed them in the absent bbJNR's place.paulie8290 said:

Imo the Stewarding was poor and should sorted the issue much quicker.
Also i think the amount of non regulars in the Covered end killed the atmosphere.0 -
Watched on iFollow. Nothing to add other than the pitch. It looked really ropey yesterday and the Blackpool commentators picked up on it (whilst not forgetting just how poor their pitch is by the way).
Anyone else think the pitch and its (relatively) lack of watering hindered our passing game at all?0 -
It’s very bobbly, but people thought it was over watered last week (and other weeks) which means it can get cut up? Needs the heavy roller or something.bazjonster said:Watched on iFollow.

Didn't it used to get relaid each summer? Maybe that’s not happened because of cutbacks.2 -
The pitch was watered for about 30 minutes yesterday before kick-off.bazjonster said:Watched on iFollow. Nothing to add other than the pitch. It looked really ropey yesterday and the Blackpool commentators picked up on it (whilst not forgetting just how poor their pitch is by the way).

Lack of watering is definitely not the problem .2 -
It was watered before the game.....and then cut about 5 mins after the final whistle.0

Is the pitch worse than previous years ?0

Took the Mrs and her mate today as they wanted to see the valley had some prat in our seats ( west upper ) he begrudgingly moved0

Frustrating result. Don't expect any better next week... We are going.0

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 gamestoneroses19 said: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.
Any decent side with a threat going forward we would have been 2 or 3 down in the 1st 20 mins we were that bad
After than they made us look better because they offered nothing1
