We are so bad at clearing our lines. Taylor finally gets it away there and Oztumer puts it straight back again. Absolutely piss poor defensively at the moment. Only Sarr and Matthews look remotely like they know what they are doing.
42' Ball clearly out of play during a Luton attack, but the referee and linesman somehow miss it between them. Luckily, the move comes to nothing.

Same line has given 2 goal kicks for us when ball hadn't gone out. Having a mare.
And when we sling a cross in and Luton can only half clear, the second ball is all to easy for them too deal with. Every time a ball drops 30 yards from our goal it’s a Luton player onto it and we’re forced to throw players around desperately trying to block the shot. Week after week the midfield is playing too deep - on top of the centre backs when we don’t have it and miles from the forwards when we do.
Goal came out of nothing and papers over the cracks of another utterly toothless attacking display. Midfield needs changing at half time. Personnel and intent. Don’t think Bowyer will do anything though.
I think we need to accept we are a weak team for the division, even with players coming back. That being said we have looked decent when we have had possession in the Luton third.
Their goal was born from the constant changing of the formation and personnel in the back line. We just look so unsure how to defend balls into the channels.
Performance as expected really. Only Oztumer with any creativity. I'd get Davis off, move Oz next to Cullen and bring on McGeady. Bonne for Green soon after.
Fairly even game but Luton more aggressive with the ball & without it are pressing us with FOUR men trying to win it back. Like last week the opposition are playing on the floor whilst we are just lumping it forward. If you havent noticed the difference in how to attack then you arent here.
Only saving grace (if LB has taken any notice) is that Luton will now be playing into the wind & so it should be harder for them when clearing the ball.

Due to lack of wingers imo the play is not stretched across the pitch due to all of charltons play being down the middle - so we are weak when balls come down the sides!
Constant long ball with no midfield to mop up the second ball is the constant problem, and without players out wide there is a lack of cover down said sides!

You got a 'like' instead.
Very unlike Bowyer to play Doughty at LB
