    had enough turned off can’t take any more, shit team, fat c###t ref, I’m out.

    if bowyer doesn’t go don’t rule out another relegation battle.

    we are a complete and utter shambles.

    Deji intercepts but can only put the ball to Garbutt, who shoots wide.

    Whatever you think of Lee Bowyer, these players aren't playing for him. A good manager can get a performance out of his players, even if they aren't the best. This is a total capitulation.

    Giving away two pens and a sending off is not Bowyers fault. 
    Agree on the penalties... Should have taken Pratley off at HT
    Leaving Pratley  on is. The overall performance is. Bowyer with hands in pockets wandering around is too. 
    Did I not just say that Pratley should have been taken off???

    At least my comment has got my LOL count up 
  • I know we said the same after Burton but surely he's got to sack him now? How the hell can Sandgaard want to continue with this mess, we're an absolute shambles and actually getting worse each game.

    8 home games without a win in league fucking one.

    Attempt missed. Luke Garbutt (Blackpool) left footed shot from the left side of the box.

    I can see no possible reason to keep Bowyer as manager. 
    There is no way he can get the best out of this squad. 
    Give a new bloke a chance to assess the squad. 
    Need to show loyalty to Lee - deserve a chance to build a new squad in L2.
    Bowyer needs to be manager until the end of time. Or beyond.
  • Famewo the only ounce of quality we have
    And he'll be back at Carrow Road at season's end.

    If the league table was based on yellow and red cards, we’d be 20 points clear
    Every week my brother punts big on the booking points market for Charlton. It’s a guarantee winner almost every week.

    11/1 for 50 booking points today. Currently on 55 with 30 mins to go.
  • This is a performance of a team that want him gone
  • Can't wait for Lee's post match interview - welcome his insight

    Bad. Very easy to blame Bowyer, and he's definitely not coming out of this season with much credit, but some of these players are getting away with not doing even the most basic aspects of their jobs. No crowd on their backs and knowing the manager will get the boot before they do I imagine it's easy to stop bothering. You can set up however you like, but if your CB gives away a pen after 9 minutes you're always going to struggle to get a foothold on a game especially when confidence is already low. When Purrington is your best player purely because he always tries and puts in a steady performance it says a lot about what the other players are bothering to turn up with. I'm far angrier with them than anything else. Most of them won't be here next season and I don't think I'll be too upset about that
    Perhaps have a think at why players don't look like they are performing. Could be something to do with the constant changes of formation, and the clear lack of any plan.

    DJ has gone from terrorising us to looking likes he barely played football before. Shinnie at the beginning of the season couldn't put a foot wrong, Millar looked dangerous every time he got the ball. Maatsen has gone backwards. Gunter and Watson 'men' as Bowyer would call them who have come from very decent championship pedigree now look shocking. 

    Why do you think all these players have regressed?
    The thing is, it's so easy just to say it's the manager's fault but that absolves the players of their part. Is there no plan? Do we think that in training Bowyer just sits there and tells them to go for a jog and sends them off home? He's surely telling them a way to play come the weekend. It's possible that he's just got very bad at communicating what he wants, but he never used to have that issue. Today we've set up with four in midfield and two wingers on the pitch, which is what many have been clamouring for. We've got a big, strong striker and one with a bit more pace. These players don't look like a team who are being asked to take on a complex new system of playing though, they look like a team that can't really be arsed. I just feel like the players get away with a hell of a lot when the manager becomes a lightning rod for criticism. Should Deji get away with looking like a dad filling in to help a youth team out? Should the team not talking and not chasing, failing to find each other with simple passes just be the manager's concern? Confidence is a hell of a thing in football and a manager change can sometimes give the players a boost but even if we sacked Bowyer today and replaced him with Guardiola I'd be hard-pressed to look back on some of these matches and forgive the basic, basic defensive errors or the lack of application from some of these players. A lot of these players look like they are looking at the end date of their contract and shrugging their shoulders when the manager talks about putting in the hard yards.

    Great effort in match thread. Not sure i would of got 15 words without a TWATS!!!!

    Pratley still on? What time is the red card? 
    You got tonight's lottery numbers Algarve?
    You hardly had to be Mystic Meg to see that one coming. 
  • If Bowyer is still manager at 5.30 tonight, TS is a fool.

    You know what? 
    At 0-2 I saw no way back and, I have to admit, I thought maybe we need an absolute mullering to make something happen at board level. 
    I have never in my life wanted us to lose. Certainly not badly. But I think I’ll take it today. Once Pratley got sent off, I was sold on it. 
    I wasn’t even annoyed when we gave the penno away.

    Hope TS has big pockets.

    We’ll need at least 15 signings and to pay Bowyer off if we want to compete next year.
  • Pratley should have been subbed at HT  , just like Purrington should have been subbed at Blackpool after his yellow  . Poor management.  
  • No fight, no midfield, no intelligence, no pride, no manager! This could get embarrassing. 0-5!!

    Gunter plays a long crossfield ball between Maatsen and Chuks. Maatsen blazes high and wide, but the flag's up anyway.

    Offside, Charlton Athletic. Chris Gunter tries a through ball, but Ian Maatsen is caught offside.

    Would be very different if the Valley was even half full. Think they can get away with performances like this
