    A goal yes but our only effort on target. 
    There was also a Bonne Header on target
    Aneke’s one that was blocked at the far post too.
  • I think our manager has done all he can with probably the weakest squad since the 70s.Lee do A Taylor and follow you dream,Bring Jason Euell back to manage what will a big job in the 1st Div.Perhaps renewing my season ticket was a bit previous.

    Just to highlight our dominance without scoring:

    Charlton XG : 1.67
    Reading XG : 0.45 + 1 pen

    Bowyer for some reason, can’t stand Morgan! 

    No chance was it Morgan’s fault the penalty, and to keep scapegoating him is ridiculous!

    he had a blinder today!

    Nathan is right what he says here though about Morgan!!

    Agree with whoever said we should try and focus our frustration at non-footballing elements at the club (including the non-footballing footballers), but for me, the subs in the last two games have been terrible.
    Tuesday was too defensive too soon. Today's just had us lumping it for the last 15 when up to then we'd looked at our most dangerous! What's the logic?? "We look quite dangerous, I'll change it". I know players were tired but like for like...

    Lockyer was hoofing it and Williams was trying to win headers to flick on to Aneke!!!

    As a former ref, I always usually defend refs, but that was indefensible.
  • This is heartbreaking, when I think of the players we have lost,
    Bielik, Bauer, Aribo and Dijksteel, last season, Gallagher and Taylor (his choice) this season.
    How we could do with them now. It's miracle needed time, perhaps Sarr, Davison and Field to start against Brum.
    Please sorry but no more Oshilaja at LB!

    Oi Bowyer don't blame Albie. It was your choice of LB that fcuked up. Totally out of order

    There was no lack of application or effort and we looked "tidy" in places. 

    But our problem is still the same. We have a lack of quality up front and can't fashion or finish enough chances to win games at this level.

    But then we have a League One squad and a League One budget, so it's not really a surprise.
    Bang on 110%. We have to take the rose tinteds off..

    It was Morgan’s fault. Deji was clumsy of course, but Morgan just left him as he ran into the box. If he hated him he wouldn’t keep playing him and just got him signed on a 3 year contract.

    WTF was wrong with 'level is onside'?

    Our forwards cant score, they need the chances and our leading assist makers are:

    Williams 5
    Sarr        4
    Doughty 3

    All starting on the bench. They haven't really got much hope before kick off tbh.

    That's ridiculous by Bowyer. Even if Morgan should have tracked the runner better that's ONE mistake. He did loads of good defensive work in the first half, as well as providing a cutting edge with his passing

    Desperately disappointing, but it's not over yet. Obviously we could do with some help from the games this afternoon but if we can get 4 points out of the Birmingham & Wigan games we still have a decent change, if not we may need to win at Leeds which is very unlikely. Easy to blame Bowyer, but when your best striker won't play, and the other 2 aren't good enough the options are very limited.

    Bowyer has lost it. Once you start naming mistakes by players.  We are done.

    He's always naming players!!
  • If there is one thing I have learned over the years it's that you don't get the breaks when you are down the bottom.
    Not convinced ours was a pen and hard to tell on Chuk's offside call, but it's pointless whining about the decisions, we simply aren't potent enough up front and it stank of 0-1 as soon as we went behind.
    In fairness we played some good stuff at times, but we could have played 2 days additional time and not scored

    Says it all when the opposition Manager agrees that we've been robbed by officials

    Why? - He called Bonne out after Millwall who then scored against Brentford

    Bowyer plays Morgan out of position. Wherever he plays next, he'll be playing further forward and more central.

    LB I love you man....But blaming Albie in public at his age is simply wrong....You got it wrong playing Oshi at left back... Id prefer your honesty over that please!

    Think this is Benjy's own opinion rather than a Bowyer quote but agree with him

    If Morgan cant do the basics that Bowyer demands here at Charlton, what other Championship club will want him?

    Bowyers right that we had some good crosses in first half, i could even see what mcgeady brings to the side but who was ever going to win the headers? Bonne is much better running in behind and chuks aint a natural striker. Fuck lyle taylor

    I don't know who you are Benjy but I think you should shut up!

    I actually thought we played pretty well. But, we didn't get any breaks at all. And, that very early penalty was a killer. Oshilaja - what were you doing?!
    The officials were appalling today. Not much else to say really. 3 more points and I think that will do it. But, will we get them? We should have got more from today.

    Don't see the top managers doing that. I am a fan of LB but pressure and stress makes you say things you might regret. I should know.
