We had warnings in the first 3 minutes. This back line can not be trusted to look after the ball and maintain possession when pressed. We have to stop giving it to them, passes have to be forwards. Confidence is clearly shot to bits though. No one in midfield wants to take risks, but the irony is by ‘playing it safe’ we keep giving away horrible soft goals.
SSN: Charlton gave the ball away, Rudy Gestede raced down the wing and crossed it in and no Charlton players there, easy goal
How many times as that happened this season. That's down to Bowyer for me. He has to realise the back line are not good enough to pass it out from the back.
Teams find it so easy to press us and force us into a mistake.
23' The Addicks build down the right with Pratley laying off to Green. He pulls it back across the box, it goes behind everyone before Purrington meets it with a tame effort.
