I don't think Amos had a chance even so, but he is very poor at owning his area. I noticed at the end when Maatson was under pressure and he should have been out picking it up and he was on his line. Totally lacks confidence in this element of the game.
We are garbage defensively - interesting to see if there is any improvement before the end of the season. Amazingly still in with a shout of the playoffs.
We're conceding 1.5 goals per game approx and our season includes 6 consecutive clean sheets. Were these players this bad in the past?
Yes we obviously need the points, but moreover it's the real start of the Adkins era. 2 weeks to evaluate the players and decide how we are to play for the remainder of the season, Doncaster is the chance to set down a marker.
It’s not though because he is still using the same players! I am a very glass half full person when it comes to us but I think we can forget the playoffs, even if we do make them there is no way we will win them!
To be honest I wouldn't mind a Powellesque clearing of the decks bar Schwartz and Jaiyesimi and any youth players. Purely because they're promising for me still.
Will be interesting how Adkins as an ex custodian sees Amos. Been less than totally convincing recently for me. Still in credit as far as I’m concerned but concentration levels have I think dropped recently. No idea what happened on Tuesday evening v Bristol Rovers. That was one of the worst goalkeeping errors I’ve seen from a Charlton gk.
I think the equaliser was worse than Nabys effort at Wembley. No words for it really. Disappointing second half. Will be incredible if we somehow make play offs. Just don't think it will happen this season. Start again in the summer with a rebuild. Not looking forward to another season in the 3rd tier.

Plenty of other options amongst the squad, and he has to decide on what system and tactics we use
Apart from the bench today, the likes of Purrington, AMB and Smith, the injured Matthews, Gilbey and Innis (who may be available) are all options. Plus academy players like Henry
Defensive shitshow, shitshow out of possession full stop
Happy for DJ getting his goal and Stockley with his header from from excellent wingplay from Millar
Gunter continues to make me question how few people born in Wales can play right back, he is a total daydreamer. Famewo has a lot of credit in the bank and I struggle to believe any centre halves seriously want the ball there anyway unless they are told to try and play from the back but the risks associated with doing that at this level far outweigh any rewards. Its a stupid, faddy way of playing the game that I hope Arsenal persist with but we knock on the head
Players don't have the desire, we have some bright players but collectively they are morons who clearly can't hold concentration
It will be fraudulent if we luck our way into the play offs and even then we would get torn up and will have lost a fortnight of time to talk to new signings by not knowing what league we will be in next season. Need an entire new back 4 assuming Famewo isn't available.
I think there is an exaggeration on the amount of players we need and we have to be realistic. Sandgaard may well be willing to spend more than Roland was but talk of 15/16 players is madness IMO. We need about 6/7 quality players and then another 3/4 good squad players.
Sort of agree but when you look at some of the better players there's a real chance they won't be here next year be it end of loans or contracts running out.
Taking the out of contracts player into account definitely, although I’d like to keep a few of them. Excluding loan players I feel we have about 13 players I’d be happy to have in the squad next season.
But then that still leaves another 12. Like I said I do sort of agree but it's big ifs around a few existing players.
In all my 60 years of following Charlton have rarely seen such as bad goal as their equaliser, (bar Naby at Wembley). Amos distribution awful. Think it's time to send Famewo back to Norwich and maybe give Barker a run out. Would like to see Maynard-Brewer given game time. Time after time Amos loves a short pass which mostly puts us in trouble. If Bowyer had subbed a sub (who had a decent game) would have been crucified. For me no New Manager Bounce. At least havn't got to waste a tenner for a couple of weeks as next game on Sky. Feel really pissed off!
Bowyer subbed a sub not long after he came on. It was totally different today, as DJ had played almost the entire match. Let’s not get into a Bowyer v Adkins comparison/argument already.

Absolutely, no idea if the likes of Aneke want to say. There’s a few players I’d like to see more of, such as Matthews and Gilbey. Gunter not been good enough but Matthews hasn’t had a run of games to show his worth.
As per usual the players mark posters are laying into Maatsen. Once a scapegoat always a scapegoat!! Won more tackles, more interceptions, occasional header and even offered some overlapping despite being asked to defend the second half without anyone ahead of him. Ludicrous!!
A lot of grief being given to Amos for the goal. He's switched off a little bit for the return pass sure, but only because he will not have possibly been expecting to be sold ridiculously short by Famewo. Famewo was absolutely on to receive that ball, there was no-one near him when he received it and he had several opportunities to either play a pass or just clear the ball out before settling on the pass back to Amos, which was way too short. I know a lot of people get upset by the concept of playing out from the back but aside from the fact that Adkins will want us playing out, it was hardly a suicide ball from Amos. It's a shame for Famewo but he hasn't made a lot of mistakes this season. Can't remember another team like ours for making such terrible mistakes though. Must be a record being set
To be fair the last two fixtures it seems like were Jackson sides. I am not surprised they looked like Bowyer performances still. It's also only been 5 days.
That’s a stretch getting his name in here to find blame.

He came on for another game recently when he never touched the ball once in 20 minutes.
That is 2 games with about 30 minutes total playing time with no touches
of the ball. Absolutely shocking.

If it was not for our stupid defender giving them a
We were also unlucky to have a WANKER if a referee today.
Still 6th and plenty to feel pleased about 👍👍
