Usually the first to defend Macauley Bonne, but oh my God he was useless. He loves a wonder goal from time to time, but he can't finish sitters to save his life.
I'm glad they didn't give up at 3-0 down and at least they went down swinging, but the fact we need investment is obvious. A depressing watch
That was shit. Far too many poor performances on that pitch.
Bonne needs to improve. People can keep pointing at the lack of service, but Washington has got 2 in 2 and Chuks did more in 5 mins at West Ham then he did all game.
Two senior fit defenders in the whole squad, results like this are going to happen.
Major rebuild needed and we won’t be getting promoted this season unfortunately. Hopefully this will be the last rebuild after so many false dawns in the last 10 years.
Yeah next week against a fast starting Lincoln will be interesting
Were Doncaster better than Crewe last week, did that 2-0 win really flatter to deceive?
We started so well so I dont think we're as bad as made out in this Division, we just need some balance and some leadership within the team - The bench certainly could be stronger even if the starting eleven looked decent... Wouldnt be surprised if Bowyer used the lack of subs as a message to show that we need reinforcements yet thats clear anyway
Ultimately having just one senior CB and one senior Left-Back is going to hurt us unless we can get something sorted soon
This'll be the legacy that both versions of East Street Investments leave behind, its not the place to be discussing but that legacy wont be forgotten thats for sure!!
A lot of overly harsh comments on the match thread that might be fair on another day, those fans need to wake up to the harsh reality
I totally understand the need to for reinforcements especially in defence. But look at first 11, most of them have already competed in the championship and done better.
The fact of the matter is we should not be going 3 - 0 down with that team against Doncaster.
Gilbey is this season’s McGeady, strolling around and doing fuck all. I wasn’t impressed last week and even less so today. And even he managed to hit the bar at the end..

Yep, my 12 yo son would have put most of those away...so so poor.
Can I humbly apologise for being a little annoyed and exaggerating massively when complaining about lack of shots from outside the box on the match thread. Two in ninety five minutes, not one.
I was hoping to be cheered up after my father-in-law's funeral yesterday. I might have known I was grasping at straws expecting it to come from SE7.
And now I find out that the Lincoln game is on fucking Sunday so that fucks up my birthday too.

Look how pants a really good team are, like man city or man United, when the have a make shift defence. Even if they have 6 world class players in front of them.
What a difference VVD made to Liverpool.
Sort the defence out with proper adult league 1 players and our midfield and forwards will flourish.

What a fucking year.
Sorry to hear about your father in law mate. Forget about charlton and just try enjoy your birthday. Hopefully happier times are on the way.
Lost that game in midfield. Gilbey JFC Morgan - none of which are known for their tough tackling and harrassing of players. No problems starting two "creative" types Gilbey, Morgan, Williams, Levitt(?) But the 3rd has to have that bite to make up for the other two lack of defensive work and getting caught out of position (forwards). Takes pressure off the back 2 and is someone to close down shots from outside our box.
Pratley gave it last season but is pegged back to CB so far.
Bonne not taking his chances again, sounds like he had 4 clear cut? Sadly he needs at least 8 before one goes in.
Sign a CB ASAP, get Pratley between Gilbey and Morgan, hold on to and win the ball back in the middle, then play more chances in to Bonne.

Going nowhere good unless a takeover, lifting of the embargo and some urgently needed squad building.

Worrying how bad we were from the twenty minute onwards. Zero positives from that performance and result. Hope Bowyer lays into them.
That's better. First of the season.

Maybe when Jose's Chelsea beat us 2-0 when Crespo scored?
It doesn't matter in the big picture does it.
This team is just disjointed due to the lack of quality, even at this level. Respect to Donny Rovers, they always put out a team that compete.
Bowyer is doing whatever he can with what we have. These players didn't get relegated over 46 games by mistake.
JFC
Bonne
Barker
Purrington
Doughty
Gilbey
Pratley
Oshilaja
Amos
Good enough:
Washington
Morgan
That's why we lost.
2 players had decent enough games.
Albie's passing is such a strength.
Washington the surprise of our whole 2 signings.
Bad day, move on.
Lets get this poxy sale done & move on 🙏🏻
