A shit as this feels, it might just be the turning point. A point stops the rot, and the team looked better balanced and more competitive, especially in midfield. There's enough there to cling on to for another week.
At least until we get word what this "strange" stuff the new owners have in store for us is...
Makeshift, injury-ridden side, confidence low, gives a committed wholehearted performance that almost earns a deserved 3 points. That was some fucking kick in the teeth at the end there. A lot of the lads and the manager were close to tears there.
He’s a great shot stopper but Phillips has to start coming off his line. Rooted at every cross! He shouldn’t have even been in a position to drop it as he should have been out catching it!
Phillips fault for the goal. Made some saves yeah but that’s what he’s paid to do. Can’t kick for shit and doesn’t control his 6 yard box. If he comes out and claims the ball we win. Players give everything but not having people stick up for him tonight . Cost us the 3 points
We just switch off and look nervous - invite pressure on in the last 10, we need a bit of luck....but tonight was nothing to do with injuries etc. We literally had to win one more header and that was it....
We invite this by trying to play some sort of Mickey Mouse Catenaccio in the last 15 minutes of every game when we are either trying to save a point or defend a lead.
We should be getting the ball up to our forwards and supporting them but when the likes of Taylor ends up playing as a defender we lose that out ball. And then the ball keeps coming back again and again and again.

One positive is we are on 24 points... next game will be the half way stage, if we can get a point in the next game we’re on target for the all important 50 points that should keep us up at the end of the season.
Really odd vibes from Bowyer in the interview.... was pushed on the ‘strange things’ comment and did his upmost not to snap at the interviewer who was trying to get an answer out of him
Why do we defend so deep ? We have conceded so many late goals in the last month it's embarrassing. I don't think we are bottlers But if you concede so much ground then balls will keep coming into your box. It was a miracle against Leeds and Brentford. But 10 players in your own box late on is asking for trouble. As long as we didn't give a free kick away in last 30 seconds we win. So of course we give a free kick away on half way line.
Phillips did 2 good saves and was unlucky with the last one. If anyone doesn't deserve stick it's Phillips.
Much better tonight but our League 1 defence is costing us dear at the moment. Gutted for Naby he didn't score the winning goal. This is turning into torture being a Charlton fan but agree with Lee the final whistle should've been blown. The ball should stay down the line in Hull's half.

Played well but still didn't win, has all the makings of a relegation season.
Scapegoat

Naby Sarr and Jonathan Leko, who have struggled for form of late played really well tonight and should be very proud of their performances.
We will come out of this. In Bow we trust.

Our love-hate affair with Cafc continues.
