The right set up but Clare is the weak link as the attacking mid. He was missing for most of the half. Get Washington on up front with Davison and Lee back in central mid and we could win this game.
Clare's been MOM...
Tell me 2 things he did. Spent most of the half making himself unavailable to defenders looking for an out ball. Leko has been the most effective so far by the way.
Apart from breaking up multiple through passes, one of which led directly to our goal?

Completely disagree.
Lee seemed to be too far forward for the 4-3-3 that we started with (and looked comfortable with for the first 35 minutes)
After that he's pushed up to support Davison - an unnecessary move. We've almost gone 4-2-4
We started 442 with Davison and Lee up front and CBT and Leko on the wings. For that to work both wingers have to track back and one of the central mids, Clare , has to carry the ball in midfield. That did not happen and the defence was left with no outball.

Leko and Davison have looked very good. Disappointing to be behind. Need to start converting the pressure when we have it. We will inevitably concede, one ain't enough.
Well if the results stay as they are at the moment, we really should stop thinking about a top six finish and face facts that we are stuck in the bottom 4 and facing a real challenge to get out of it.
Would swap Leko and CBT. CBT will tear that left back for pace.
Actually think definitely this will make us so much worse. Leko isn’t great at tracking but CBT just doesn’t do it. Their LW would be dominating even more
Well, that was possibly the most enjoyable half of football I've seen this season, shame about conceding at the end.
I suppose we have to employ the "Boycott Principle" to our matches: whatever the score is, add two opposition goals to get a real reflection of the state of play.
Anyway, top marks to Davison, Leko, CBT, and Clare - that was great stuff from them. I really hope that the other players take note of how the ball was being crossed into the middle of the box for Josh and Lee to attack; so different to the shit they put in for Stockers.
On the basis of what I've seen thus far this evening we are more than capable of winning this; on the basis of what I've seen over the last forty years of watching Charlton we're more than capable of capitulating horribly.

1. He started the move that led to our goal. 2. He's been very lively and won the ball off them on several occasions.

I thought there was more cover for the full backs than previous games.
Thought we started strong and dictated the half for the majority. Both wingers looking exciting. Bolton must be sitting there now thinking they're lucky not to be 2 down instead go in level at half time. Typical of our season so far at the moment. Tough times but I've actually thought we looked pretty good tonight just need a big effort this 2nd half now

On him though to motivate and get them back on track.
Anything less than a win tonight is a poor result, especially from a leading position.
Fair enough, didn't think of that.

Washington on for me, one of Leko, CBT or Lee off.
The next 45 mins will be critical....
Better shape.
Better energy.
Better cohesion.
Poor goal to concede but better defence.
