Disagree - I felt that we played really well - periods of play there reminded me of when we first played under Bowyer. Shame we defended soo poorly and gifted them 2 goals - that’s just not acceptable. We should have scored at least 5 or 6 - we hit the woodwork 3 times! Good game and you’ve got to take a point after 2 down.
Supporting Charlton is a bit like being in a relationship with a violent nymphomaniac. You just can't enjoy the good bits as much as you think you should.
So that explains Smyth, Bogle, Schwartz, Stockley, Washington, Aneke?
We needed a CB far far more than Stockley.
Bogle will be gone by the end of the window.
We've had 20 days to sign a CB.
We've signed 2 strikers and a winger instead.
Even if Bogle leaves that makes zero sense.
I thought we needed a 20-goal Striker though, thats been the primary argument on here since the summer
Right but outside of that nonsense straw man argument.
Bowyer and Gallen have gone into January with both starting CBs out for a long period of time. No guarantee they come back as solid as they were, no guarantee they don't get reinjured while coming back.
We concede 10 goals in the month leading up to the new transfer window. They decide CB isn't a priority.
Terrible squad management. Every game in January we've conceded more than 2 goals proves it.
He's not getting it wrong in the selection anymore, but clearly something is wrong with the coaching. Every player we've got has regressed this season, and our defence is getting worse and wors
He’s getting wrong for a new reason.... that’s convenient.
He’s not above criticism, but the defence and injuries have always been the issue
He has had 3 weeks to sort the defence. He has bought in 3 forwards. The defenders aren't bad players. Please name them if they are.
How long can you you use injuries to defend a manger when all the injuries happen in training?
How long can you blame injuries to the "center backs" who have never played a full season between them?
Do you honestly think Swindon/Rochdale/Shewsbury/Plymouth MK Dons (Delete as appropriate) defenders are better than available ones?
Jackson is the one coaching the defence, are we sacking him?
On another day, Schwarz puts that in after on 2m and we stroll it. On this day, sadly, we give away stupid goals and have to fight like hell to get a point.

What you say is what I've been arguing for weeks, defence has been the problem since the International Break... Only I've been constantly ignored saying that a 20-goal Striker should be the priority, which we've prioritised in this break
We've been fine for goals this season bar a handful of games

If we continue shipping so many goals then there needs to be a change. Coaching staff have to take some responsibility.
Gutted about the result but we did play well in places and with a bit of luck we'd have won that game comfortably.
We're not getting the luck we need to score 4 or 5 goals but at the same time we're still making bad mistakes.
If we get Famewo/Inniss back and fit for the rest of the season I think we could be up there but if it takes them much longer then we'll have to settle for midtable. Having them back would give everyone else a boost and I think some of these mistakes wouldn't be made if that back 5 weren't so low on confidence.
Thought Shinnie played well so him back in the starting 11 on Tuesday would be good for us. Stockley also looks like the alternative to Aneke that we needed.
Played ok, but the defence weren't helped out in the first half so bowyer switched to the diamond at half time which helped. Could have won it really, if we could only take our chances.
I understand that and why people are frustrated, but I think we have been playing much better lately. A lot of talk about centre backs, but we were ok there today I thought - can't really blame either of the goals on them and I thought both had a decent game.
It's frustrating not to be picking up points, but the recent games have generally been a good watch.
If we do sneak the playoffs, and have a reasonably fit squad at that point, I don't think many will fancy playing us.
Too many goals just given away in recent games. It must drain the whole team's confidence to face an uphill struggle in virtually every game.
I cannot see any hope for us until we have our best defenders back from injury. (How long do we have to wait!). If we can keep clean sheets again we only need one goal to go in from our profligate strikers.
I live in hope for our defensive performances to radically improve to give us just an even chance in games.
The pain is hard to take when we consistently throw away so many crucial points from games we should be winning (on paper!).
Park the ‘poor old Lee and his non league standard group of players’ bollocks. This is major underachievement we are seeing from the management all the way through. These are players who are proven at the top end of league one and the championship even.
many managers will have gone for a lot less. Thomas backed Lee in the last transfer window - we bought in international players, and talent that has proven to be able to perform at the top of this division.
we took two points at home against utter chuff.
Thomas hasn’t made millions from letting underperfoming staff members carry on being mediocre. Something is gonna change somewhere at some point.

Under half a season left of this shit unless something changes

Surely we can defend better than this with the players available.
That's why we were perfect for him, and he perfect for us.

So you're not going to get me changing my tune
time. Worked well for the wimbledon game!!

Should have won.
Keep the faith.
