Post-match Thread: Charlton v Wigan — 21/8/2021

LoOkOuT

Two teams in a cagey affair largely canceling each other out for three quarters of the match. Wigan had the better of the chances early on, but failed to capitalise with more than one great save from MacGillevary.

Wigan were able to run out to a two goal victory after bringing on a higher quality of fresh legs. They got better with their subs. We’re not good enough and, despite what the usual suspects will say, everyone can see that. Trust that the recruitment team is working hard to address the obvious weaknesses. 

I suggest you go out for a bit of fresh air this evening, rather than stew on things behind the keyboard.

Charlton 0 - Wigan 2

Shite

Shit. End of.

Callumcafc

Really not good. Inquest must begin NOW while there is still time to turn it around.

Chunes

We were in the ascendancy second half and then Adkins switches to 442 and we lose control of the midfield and the game. 

These players were shit last year and they're even shitter this year. 

Patience has worn short. We are miles away from being anywhere near decent.

Covered end wasn't wrong. We're fucking shit. Never really looked like scoring, don't remember Amos make a single save.

On that note, quality in difference. Amos was quality for them today.

DDOUBLEE

We are fucking rubbish, it's as simple as that. Whether it's Adkins', roddys, Gallens or Sandgaards fault, we are genuinely dogshit and we'll be lucky to actually stay midtable

tom_k

We need more players with quality and now. TS has got to invest.

kentaddick

Need some serious recruitment, more than “a handful” of signings needed. Terrible.

DamoNorthStand

I have tried joining the happy clappers for 90 minutes. I have really tried.



Anyway - I'm off for a poo, then gonna be back to being a normal realistic person again.

siblers

This is the worst Charlton team in my lifetime. 

ValleyGary

We are clueless. Terrible group of players.

AdTheAddicK

Albie Morgan isn't a no 10. The alarm bells were ringing for me when he got the no 10 shirt. He isn't ready. 

As for the game. Crap just like all our games so predictable and dull. 

EveshamAddick

4 games. No wins. No goals from open play. No goals at all at home.

One defeat in 10 seems like an awful long time ago.

J BLOCK

Put your money where your mouth is and sign some decent players TS.

it’s not that the team played badly, it’s that the players just are not good enough. Pathetic.

SELR_addicks

Are we allowed to criticise yet? 

It doesn't matter how 'stable' we are if we're going down to League Two anyway. 

jakecafc

We will struggle to stay up this year with this team.

Southbank

Cue Adkins ' we had a good 20m' 'unnecessary goal' ' honest players'.
Our midfield is not good enough undividually or as a unit. We have no natural goalscorer and our defence is shaky.
Still a 'handful' of loans should sort all that out

LoOkOuT

We never really looked like scoring. We don’t have that player, anywhere through the outfield, that there’s real confidence they can turn a game or make a real impact. It’s all hope.

soapy_jones

BUT WE ARE ALL BED WETTERS!

Todds_right_hook

I’m mr positive. Fuck off adkins and your shitty walks. 4 defeats in 5. Time to go

MuttleyCAFC

We were not terrible but toothless. If you lose 25-30 goals from the team, you have to put them back in. It is chapter one in Tactics for dummies but seems lost on us for whatever reason.

blackpool72

I never thought I'd see a worse midfield than
Foley Croft  and Jackson. 
But I just have. 
This season is a total right off after just 4 matches. 
Shove your guitar up your arse and sign some decent players 

AddickUpNorth

Still too early to be writing off the season? 

aliwibble

Oh boy, it's going to be fun on here tonight.

oohaahmortimer

Heady times 

we should stay up 

anyone not happy with 5th bottom should be realistic 
we are an established third tier team on a low budget 

Bedsaddick

The fans have been saying for weeks that this squad isn’t good enough and it was proven again today . 

2-0 Flattered Wigan ( or did it?) 

positives were Kirk and Dobson .

Negatives . Full backs are not good enough .
Morgan is a headless chicken .
Playing Stockley up front on his own is not working despite him working his socks off .

I dread the stick that TS is going to get but as I said , the fans have been telling him for weeks . 

CL_Phantom

On the plus side, Watson is up to speed for a full game.



Oh

mogodon

I was always going to be satisfied with stability and rebuilding this season before a dynamic surge into the Premier League and Europe but did not expect things to be this bad so soon

Uboat

‘A tough game and of course we’re disappointed it went against us. We’ll work hard in training this week and go again.’

Generic tweets coming from various players. 

cafc_4life

The worst Charlton team I’ve seen in my lifetime. No quality or passion in any of them!

and to top it off we have a manager who could find a positive no matter what
