    Wigan will rue that miss if we get back into this.

    Our marking in our own box hasn’t been great, we’re playing the better football but Wigan have missed two glorious chances

    Yikes! How was that not 0-2?
    Did you voice Shaggy in Scooby Doo 😉
    Nah, I'm more of a Velma.
    Always fancied Velma, never understood what people saw in Daphne.

    Poor goal to concede.

    Game over I feel.

    Aaron Henry hasn't impressed at all.

    I think we had our "final" last week V Birmingham, we haven't really been up to speed tonight

    No real quality in our attacking group.

    Now giggling at Beadle having to get one of the outfield players to do his laces up for him.

    Can’t see us coming back now - lacking cutting edge / final ball up front sadly

    Barker looks a great prospect tho. Not sure where I would play him. He might make a good defensive midfielder.

    Good referee this, better than many in L1 this season

    Velma (not Thelma as I thought) was the brains. One would certainly enjoy an evening in her company.

    Missed most of the game but it seems a close game but Wigan have taken their chances.

    Time for Leaburn

    Weirdly harsh comments imo.

    Can’t string passes together. Feels like an off night for Henry and Campbell in particular.

    Has Leaburn had another growth spurt? I don't remember him being that much taller than some of his teammates earlier in the season.

    I got bored after 10 mins.
    Wigan looked a better, bigger team. 
    I thought we won't get back in this game.

    Yes, he's about 6'4" or 5" now

    I think it was Carl or maybe my cousin Anthony who said on CharltonTV that he needs to grow into his body.

    He's still a first year scholar so will still be with the u18s next year I think.

    Disappointing result but I thought Santos looked class. Definitely looks like he has some pedigree.

    Harsh. I thought we played well for long spells, without testing their keeper enough

    Yes, that's what I thought 1st half.
    They looked like scoring we didn't.
    I didn't watch the 2nd half.

    Only watched first half , but I don't think there was much between the two sides . Beadle , Barker and Santos impressed most .

    Decent performance but undone by 2 set pieces unfortunately. Their right winger was very very good but other than that felt we had the better players.

    Santos my man of the match. Hugely impressed by his all round play today.

    Twat of the match is whoever that Wigan player was that said something to Barker at the final whistle. Classless scum.

    I was disappointed with Henry as I thought he looked good in the first game. I think if you are close to the first team you have to show game to game. From what I saw, Barker is the closest and Beadle looks exciting. Work to do with the others. The centre halves are good with the ball but need to learn their defensive craft. Pearce may be a good tutor. Nobody should be written off of course, they are still young.
