Grrr we back off so much on the edge of our area

If I had to give the shape a name I'd call it a 3-1-4-2 but I'm no tactician

12' Half chance as Stockley heads back across the face of goal, Leko can't quite get the ball under control before forcing a corner. #safc 0 #cafc 0

What is Stockley doing there.. That's a free header

cafcnick1992

Why didn't Stockley go for goal there?!

ForeverAddickted

We're dangerous going forward for sure 

Stockley heads back to Leko but should have gone for target was a free header

Was that a shot from Stockley? If so that shot was shocking.

Then he blocks Gilbey's shot. 🤣

Looks like we could be playing

                       CM

     Matthews Lavelle Famewo

                    Dobson

Leko   Gilbey    Lee     Purrington

           Stockley    Washington

That's great for attacking, but maybe a bit vulnerable when Sunderland  counter?

He didn't go for goal, with conviction, on Tuesday night either.  Lack of confidence? 

ForeverAddickted

Sunderland players go down very easily... Thankfully Dysdale isnt buying it, he'll just headbutt one of them soon

ct_addick

Bizzare why didn’t Stockley head for goal

Majority of the play in Sunderland's half at the mom

Down the right yes, on the left Purrington will naturally make it a back 4.5!

As we've learned this season, we need to make this pressure tell. Otherwise we'll get sucker punched at the other end.

Can’t watch today because at a wedding, but sounds like a semi encouraging start to me. 

As Dazzler said hope we can keep it up.

The wheels seemed to haven fallen off for Bolton.

They're on course for 4 consecutive defeats.

Not a bad start .but not good enough for a semi.

   Corner, Charlton Athletic. Conceded by Dennis Cirkin.

Famous last words, but this won't finish 0-0, as we look dangerous going forward but but vulnerable at the back, especially to players running at us

15' Another Charlton corner sees Lavelle's volley get blocked in a crowded box, before Washington's hooked rebound loops over. #safc 0 #cafc 0

Solid start.  Better shape. 

se9addick

Not sure it’s quite turning into an “epic battle” just yet!

Cafc43v3r

A proper back to basics formation then

This will only last 20 minutes, then we go to pieces
