Reasonable half. Nice switch to 3 at the back when they put us under pressure, and that gave the midfield some help our wide. Shame the penalty was saved - nothing much wrong with it bar the arguing about who took it (shades of Middlesbrough away and Killer and Harris?); shouldn't have happened! Hope and expect to see the forwards stronger second half and Aneke/Smyth on for Bogle/Maddison around the hour mark.
That half could easily have had 4 goals in it. But thought Gillingham edged it on the chances. We've played some nice stuff but our strikers just haven't been involved at all. Normally Bogle is our target man and we have runners off him, but today we're feeding Maddison, and now our strikers are the runners, but there's been very little link-up between them and Marcus. Probably need time to build an understanding.
Can see we miss the commanding presence of Inniss and Famewo but on the flip side our distribution from the back has been very good today.
Pretty rubbish half of football, both sides will be gutted that they’re not going into the break 1-0 up.
I don’t think the diamonds working, they’re overloading the flanks and we can’t handle it at all. We should be dominating the middle as we have the extra body but we can’t pass it through the thirds.
It’s amateurish from I presume Bogle that he didn’t know penalty’s are Washington’s and if he didn’t know then it’s amateurish from the management , it’s not rocket science .
Fascinating watching us play out from the back every single time in Man city style. Actually seem really confident doing it. Just hope this confidence is well placed!
Still chuckle at those who doubted Ben Amos' ability to step in for Phillips. He's a quality goalkeeper.
Shame about the penalty but credit the goalkeeper for the save.
We will win this in the second half
And finally, Steve Evans really is a loud-mouth *****.

v; The whole teams fault for not scoring from the opportunities we have had
I have to admit I’m a little worried with Amos’s handling as he slides out to make saves, he appears to spill the ball more than I think he should and I’ve been a big fan of his up till last couple of matches ... so he’s well in credit ... then he produces that worldly save ... so what do i know
Gillingham get ball. Attack down right. Comes to nothing. Charlton slow build up. Comes to nothing. Gillingham get ball. Attack down right.
Rinse and repeat.
Hopefully it will open up a bit in second half.
"Boring"? Are you being funny?
A penalty miss, a great save from Amos, great 30 yard + free kick from Maddison, Watson's shot from his own half, Shinnie's long ranger just over the bar, a row over who takes the penalty, Steve Evan's screaming like a demented twat and various other chances ....
I was actually thinking that from a neutral perspective it' been quite a good match. Certainly compared to most of the others I've seen this season - ours and elsewhere.
If you don't score your penalties it sucks the juice out of your team and injects the boost into the opposition. Ominous. Reminds me of the end of the first half away at Lincoln. We need a re-set and some growling determination. For this game so far we miss Innes.
"Bogle’s frustration, he also just wants to score his first goal for the club." .......for the club or for himself?
I’m not saying what he done was right, because clearly Washington is the taker and Bogle should’ve left it to him.
But you can understand a bit of frustration from his side. He has yet to score for us and as a striker, getting your first for your new club is important, so you should be able to see where he’s coming from.
Of course he should’ve left it so Washington could concentrate on scoring, but it was a good save and these things happen.
Missing our back two of inny and fama... Pleased with Morgan and maddison has got real quality but think he needs time. Think Chucks needs to come on though to make a difference.

anyone who blames Bogle for the penalty miss should be permabanned

But tell me where at all did I say it was JJs fault? Go on.

He's been superb of late but it's been Bad Pratley today
Watson should really be converting those 50-yard efforts if he truly wants to win me around
Bogle and Washington have had scraps so far. I just hope we can create more in the 2nd half and nick a goal from somewhere.

Whether Bogle is desperate for a goal or not is irrelevant
It wasn't a bad penalty to be fair, clearly not disguised enough but hit into the corner
Think Chucks needs to come on though to make a difference.
