Let's hope he can do what Aneke has done - come on after 60/70 mins and get a goal or 3.Thought he did well when he came on and would have done wonders for his confidence had he scoredstonemuse said:

Just viewed Sky's 1m & 45 secs.......wow ! Seems like it was all Rovers in the first half (which was not what was reported on the match thread) and on another day we could have been 2 or 3 nil down by half time.
Both Schwartz's & Bogle's misses look awful. Really have to improve in front of goal if we have any ambition of finishing in the top 6. Not that we will because even an idiot can see that by looking at the table there are at least 3 teams who will be above us once we've all played the same number of games. Around 8th is where I'd place us if I was a betting man.
As for Peterborough on Tuesday. Not sure if Bowyer will put Pearce straight back into the back 4 or put Pratley there & bring back Gilbey into the midfield, although I doubt he can do much else unless he goes back to putting players in the wrong positions.Those highlights are very deceptive. Charlton looked very solid first half and were actually far more dangerous than Bristol Rovers. Aneke shot ward from a good position. Really what was missing was a bit more quality / break on the final ball. Bristol Rovers didn't offer that much.Second half Charlton were better than Bristol and took a deserved lead. There were a number of decent chances for a second. Sure Schwarz fell over and Bogle may have done better. Bristol were more competitive after the substitutions with about 20 minutes to go.Deji at centre back had a great game and JFC was very fine in the middle. Formation was good and players were in the best positions. There was a lot of energy and players pressing up the pitch. All the team worked hard. Albie Morgan have not got a unneeded yellow for the red but had a good game in midfield. The partnership with Maatsen and Morgan looks really promising. Morgan has some real pace and sets the team moving forward. He also does his bit with tracking back. I like to seeIf Bristol Rovers had gotten anything out of the game then wouldn't have been a travesty, due to Charlton not taking chances but would have definitely not have been the right result.I felt really encouarged by the performance. It was good to see Lee Bowyer give some positive praise to the players and to Deji and JFC in particular. Like Lee Bowyer said it was a good day. If Charlton can play with that level of energy & solidity with players back from injury and a solid selection of playing in their best positions then things are definitely looking up.5 -
Just shows you can’t trust highlights. And I can’t remember Rovers having a decent chance let alone us possibly being two or three down. And that’s not forgetting Chuks couple of decent chances. Load of tosh I’m afraid.golfaddick said:Didn't watch the stream & have only read the first 3 pages on here as I wanted to see the "highlights" before commenting.

Would be great if today is a turning point for our season - although I think that started with the second half performance against Rochdale.
With returning players this is where LB will show his true colours with some interesting decisions to make.Our problems of late started with losing our 2 main center halves.Get the back 4 sorted correctly and we have lots of options in front of them.COYR

I thought Morgan was great today and said as soon as he got the red that Bows wouldn’t be hugely critical as he’s doing what he’s been asked to do. JFC has been doing very well and I hope he stays fit. I really like Millar too. So many put a shift in today which was quality.Has it been confirmed who’s back on Tuesday night?1

Something in me says to me that Bowyer has learnt the hard way that he's no tactical genius and is going back to basics too.
The lineup, subs, positivity in assessment.
We have missed out, thrown away, not turned up for many points so really need another winning streak. I feel we have it in us as long as don't just pick the old timers each and every game..Pearce, Pratley, Watson.1 -

That was it. A lot is being made of it. I think people are concerned it's the end for the Minister of finishing.....but he didn't even get to dispatch an attempt.sillav nitram said:I thought Schwartz just got his foot caught in the turf?

If you think Morgan's red was stupid, watch Robinson's for Fulham. Ridiculous challenge and even more pointless than Albie's.2

Pratley & Pearce back from suspension. Shinnie & Famewo are back in training. Hopefully one of both will make the bench at leastmart77 said:I thought Morgan was great today and said as soon as he got the red that Bows wouldn’t be hugely critical as he’s doing what he’s been asked to do.

Sadly admitting, that this was the kind of calibre game I was expecting a bit more in L1 this season.
It is clear that a lot of teams raise their game against us, which requires a more attacking and fast-out-the-blocks approach from the off.1 -
The result all important but the performance gives us hope , much improved from the tosh served up of late .
Rovers were pathetically weak and perfect for our current incumbents to take advantage of .
Soon as I saw the starting line up I was confident we wouldn’t lose and after watching the first half on and off through consciousness I was confident we’d not let a goal in and even for the last 20 my view was we’d hold out because Rochdale had used up ten teams worth of luck with their worldy finishing .
I’m a big fan of Pratley but seriously why has Oshilaja not been given a run till now , ridiculous considering how shit the makeshift centre halves have done .
The scary thing is we were soooo shit at finishing today we could have fucked up the gimme we were presented with but playing the numbers game it might mean we don’t miss on Tuesday .
Special praise for JFC he looked like the player he was for Brighton and briefly for us when he first joined, really impressive.

Well deserved but leave Ronnie alone...poor fella hadn't played for 6 months so he deserves a break.
If LB turns this around I will be the first to say he should be given a medal!
Looking forward to Peterborough now.1 -

I always seem to have to repeat myself on here - must be because some of you can't read.Exiled_Addick said:
Most people would say something like “Didn’t watch the stream so can’t comment on the performance.” Not our Golfie though - he watches less than 2% of the match and extrapolates out an opinion on the entire performance. I’ve still never quite worked out if it’s a parody account.Off_it said:

I say again - I watched the Sky highlights put up on the "Rolling Reels" thread (check it out if you want). It shows at least 3 Rovers attacks in the first half compared to our 1. I can't help if Sky either don't like us or deem our "attacks" too tame or feeble so as not to include them. Its not as if they had a 4-4 thriller so could only show goals. I also said that I followed the "action" on here & on Sky Soccer Saturday. Sky never went over to the stadium once during the 1st half & accounts on here seem to suggest we didnt trouble their goalkeeper once. Now, all that could be lies & it could be that we were so dominant that Rovers never got out of their own half. Where are Dustin Hoffmann & Robert Redford when you need them......

I thought that we were the better team in the first half possession wise. We were the most dominant team but didn't do enough with it imo. Both teams had several chances. From memory they hit the side netting twice and had one chance when the bloke really should have scored. We also had two or three chances. I think Sky have selected only Rovers's chances by what you're saying.
I was pleased with the performance but I think the relief of finally getting a win has resulted in an over exuberant reaction on here.
I do agree with the praise for deji and jfc though. Deji should keep his place even if both Inniss and Famewo are fit, and I'm amazed I'm saying that but anything else would be an injustice if he keeps performing like that.
Anyway, what right do you have to have any kind of opinion if you didn't see the match🙂.?
Do you really exist or are you a parody account? 😜0
