28' Goal Stoke. They score as a result of that free-kick. #scfc 1 #cafc 0

Matthews ball watching gave McClean a tap in.

Ffs. Oh well, we’ll be ok when the injured players are back...

Leeds_Addick

Think we’ve looked very poor so far

LenGlover

Yellow for Davis just before the goal too

ricky_otto

28' OHHHHH JIMMY! McClean converts at the back post after Powell headed Clucas' free-kick across goal.

Doesn’t seem harsh to an impartial Charlie Nicholas 

Exiled_Addick

Matthews I think it was day dreaming near side and allowing Maclean to run off him. 

Inexcusably bad defending. 

guinnessaddick

Never a free kick, good tackle.

Weegie Addick

Taylor at fault. Where was Naby when we needed him? 

CAFCOlly

Formation not working so far. Taylor way too isolated and Green and Williams look lost on the wings. 

DRAddick

That was a poor goal.

Laddick01

Not harsh at all. We’ve been waiting for them to score.

Stu_of_Kunming

30mins in and we've still not started playing.

This formation isn't working.

cs1986

We look awful today.

I'm sorry but I disagree - not sure what VP comms were watching. It was late and he didn't get any of the ball. Free kick and yellow card all day long IMO.

Exiled_Addick

So frustrating because we’d taken the sting out of the game and were looking to build. Got to be better than this from set pieces. Giving a free goal away almost every week at the moment.

Tyrese Campbell (Stoke City) wins a free kick in the defensive half.

Foul by David Davis (Charlton Athletic).

Charlton to win and BTTS nailed on now. 

objectivecafc

I would say we have been shit. But that would be unfair to what I flushed away this morning

Off_it

Chalk up another goal conceded to "shit defending". Shocking.

Weegie Addick

This ref will show Davies a red at this rate. 

grumpyaddick

We have made no attempt to play football or score a goal. Way out of our depth at the moment.  

lordromford

Valley pass commentators are getting on my wick.
I know they’re consciously biased, but they kept going on about Davis’ yellow card not being a foul when it blatantly was one. Even after the goal they went on about it.
Being partisan is fine, but you need to be realistic too.

Croydon

We've been awful. And what is it with our set piece defending? It's so so poor every week and we don't look as though we're learning from mistakes

Leuth

This is presumably the first and last time we play Davis and Pratley in the same midfield
