    Would settle for 1- 0 now. They dominated that. Gallagher's poorest game this season so he'll probably get a second half hat trick now. They are pressing us really well. Let's hope they tire in 2nd half.
    Whisper it quietly, but it's already 1-1. :smile:

    Good move there Bonne unlucky not to score with his nut.
    i thought that was pratley ?
     Bonne flicked towards Pratley who missed it I think?
  • Gallagher has played far more than he should have done,he needs a rest and will now get it saturday.
  • Very average quality,  the game here last season was probably better!

    Lord knows how we've got to half time still level. 

    With so many players missing its hard, and unfair, to be too critical but that really wasn't good. Bad defensive play giving Luton so many shooting chances. I fear this is going to end up 3 or 4-1 to Luton. 
    Really? Phillips has had nothing to do.
    If Luton start getting their shots on target Dillon is going to be a busy man. 
  • maybe a week off for Conor will do him good to have a rest

    Sarr really needs to show more aggression and concentration.

    Hard to argue that Dillon wasn’t interfered  with!!

    Couldnt go or watch on tv tonight. Are we really as bad as some of the comments? Any positives?
    We just look quite shakey. Gallagher probably the worst and weirdly Leko the best... 🤮

     Leko to go and score another  then hopefully

    Think we’ve been pretty sloppy but Luton aren’t taking the chances falling their way. We’ve not got forward as often as them but look dangerous when we do.

    Need to find a way to dominate the midfield for an extended period so we can get a second goal.

    Same old users picking on Sarr over every other player. They've all been below their averages except Leko (low average to start) and Morgan (too few games to have set an average).

    Bonne probably my MotH 
  • Christ, people seem to be forgetting this is Gallaghers first season in men’s football, he’s playing in a depleted team with a whole weight of expectation on his shoulders. He’s had a poor 45 mins but no worse than the 3 or 4 experienced pros behind him. 19 years old ffs.
    The level of exaggeration on this site when anyone plays anything less than amazing does my nut in.

    Gallagher has been all over the place as usual, just making a few bad decision in the final third - hardly surprising to see the odd game like that from a 19 year old, as you say.

    Yes this is coming from me but he's...played pretty well? Played two almost-great passes to Bonne, made several tackles, won plenty of headers, not given it away stupidly, not given away any free-kicks. He was unlucky his interception of a cross ended up being blasted home from such an acute angle. I certainly hope he isn't the scapegoat this time, and that he keeps playing well in the second half

    No more injuries. Yet. 
    That is a positive. No injuries or suspensions,get a draw, id take that now
  • I don't think Gallagher has been that bad!

    When he has got the ball, he has managed to actually turn and face the goal and look positive and drive us forward.

    Yeah he has made a couple of poor passes, but its basically him in midfield by himself. Morgan has been so deep (obviously taking Bowyers criticism on defending to heart), and Leko has is basically playing up front.

    Having three against four in midfield is a mistake, albeit mostly forced on us by the horrendous injury list. Neither Conor or Albie have done very well but balance up the numbers and I think they'll be ok. Pearce, Pratley, Bonne and Leko our best performers so far. Current score probably fair enough on the balance of play but their goal was well offside. Hopefully we'll get the benefit of any doubtful situation in the second half as the ref seeks to make amends.

    Great save from that free-kick tbf
    Tbh I missed that.

    Sorry not good news on the suspension front. Gallagher booked and misses Saturday's match 
  • Not much between the two sides  . Would be tempted to bring on Oshilaja to beef up the midfield  , probably for Morgan   . Bonne has been excellent  .

    All credit to this patched up team. But we are there for the taking. 
    No options to change it though. 
    Gallagher looks like he could do with a rest and he’ll get it now after that yellow. Been superb all season.

    He's put in two or three bookable fouls and would be off in any other game.

    He's lucky to be on the pitch. Sure his workrate is fantastic but if it's not working, he needs to try using that skill we know he has.

    He shouldn't be beyond criticism because he's 19 and probably our player of the season.

     If he can't take criticism from Charlton fans, good luck to him of he has a couple of bad games at Chelsea. 

    Gallagher is lucky to be on the pitch still. There's no expectations on him, he just needs to calm down, ditch the stupid gloves and focus. 
    Can't he take criticism from Charlton fans?
