Derby County vs Charlton Athletic 30th December 2019 post-match views

LoOkOuT

We see the year out depleted and in disarray on the pitch, going down to a 10-man Derby. Let's hope we get some takeover news before year end, or soon after at the latest.

Twas a poor performance, all told, but we've been limping towards the line for some weeks now, with only spits and spurts of quality when we can manage it. We desperately need to resolve the ownership issue as soon as possible, and begin to add reinforcements that can reinvigorate this team in January.

Over to you.

Get ready for the meltdown.

Very poor from too many players, not sure on Bowyers subs, 

Dizzle

At least one of ours scored the last goal of the decade

Question time
If people arent happy with Bowyer's subs, what changes would they have made?

Leeds_Addick

Very poor performance but was a great save from Hamer to prevent 2-2 so could’ve looked very different. 

I thought Williams would’ve been back by now.

Not taking off two players who have both experience and physical presence would have been a start

2 points from 16th, better goal difference which is worth another point, I’m fine ... onward and upwards.

Injury ravaged or not, we should be able to break down a 10 men side who were without a win in their last 7. Fingers crossed the takeover can be approved soon and we can make some needed reinforcements otherwise we are in a lot of trouble 

DOUCHER

had a chance to go for it at half time but did nothing - lb has gone too defensive in my opinion - admittedly he is working with scraps and i rate him but he needs to cut the over defensive stuff - that was poor

Talal

Poor performance largely down to players being knackered and just not quite good enough. Need players back badly as there's only so much this lot can give. 

FishCostaFortune

Yet another game we lost by one goal, and yet another game one of those goals we condeded was from a terrible bit of basic defending.

But yeah injuries. 

Rossman92

Have been driving home from a wedding for 7 hours so watched none of the game. Had hoped we could at least nab a point against 10 men. The festive schedule was always gonna be impossible with our injuries. Probabaly gonna be a similar story at Swansea

addickinstoke

We played poor but in all honestly what could we bring in to change things? We really need some fresh blood as this bunch of players are knackered and a majority of them are not yet ready for championship football. We really need to start looking over our shoulder at the bottom of the table 

Nug

Squad at breaking point, very worried for Swansea. Abu Dhabi bloke needs to stop posting cryptic shit on Instagram and get those cheques lined up for Bowyer and Gallen, we’re in big trouble without quality reinforcements. Table looks shocking.

So wo would you have taken off, who would you have brought on

Your response doesnt answer my question - Instead was a typical way to avoid answering it

Hartleypete

Terrible effort, the two worst full backs in the division by a mile and they stayed on!!!!

AllHailTheHen

We looked utterly exhausted. I've supported Charlton too long to get excited about the opposition going down to 10 men but to create practically nothing all game is still poor. No real positives from tonight from how we played. 

The takeover has to go through or I do fear for us as without some investment we just dont have the squad. We keep saying about getting players back but then we lose yet another one to injury and that's a pattern that shows no signs of abating.

IR94

Bonne now injured, serious questions have to be asked about the medical team, these injuries can't simply be down to bad luck

BansteadAddick

Running on fumes so the result is not surprising. Bonne injured then? The result of no rotation. Onto January, still would have settled for this position back in early August.

Matthew's for Solly would be a start.

Danny Addick

Horrific

I’m surprised your mate had the pace to get off the pitch

So you think Doughty | Dempsey | Davison | Morgan | Vennings would all be involved with the First Team if it werent for injuries?

Yeah, okay!!

Longtimeaddicted

Hopefully we don’t get hammered at Swansea the takeover is announced and we get to reset the season, can’t bring myself to be nasty about the team, still giving 100% of what little they have to give. COYRs!

cafctom

75 mins against ten men and hardly created anything.

Injuries or no injuries - that is disgraceful. Not a ‘meltdown’ or knee jerk reaction. Professional players should create at least more than one opportunity in that amount of time against a side who are BELOW them in the table.

It was fucking awful.

IR94

Full backs in the modern day can make or break a team, Solly and Purrington dont have the capabilities going forward

Bonne off for Taylor the moment Macca first pulled up with the hammy - possible Macca will be out for a few weeks now.

Dempsey for Oshilaja maybe. And Matthews for Solly.

Stick Sarr up front last ten - don't take him off. Give them something different to worry about.

What when we've got to think of Thursday against Swansea?

Bowyer has to be careful when using those two as he's already demonstrated else its further players added to the injury table

Redvalleyeast

Poor in the final 3rd,schoolboy defending at times. Played against 10 men for almost the whole match and hamers first serious save was in injury time. Nuff said. Put this one to bed. Hope for some takeover news asap. We need some reinforcements. Now.

MuttleyCAFC

I may not know as much about football as Bowyer does and I do accept where are terribly down to the bare bones but bringing Davison on when he should have brought Pearce on and pushed Sarr up shows to me he hasn't got a clue when you have to think outside the box. Pearce and Sarr when we are putting hopeful balls into the box, alongside Taylor and we have a chance. Yes it is desperate, but FFS it was bleeding obvious. I don't care if Sarr was tired, that game was ours to win and with the extra man you have to shuffle the cards in ways you wouldn't otherwise.
