Fleetwood went in with confidence and we had to turn the tide which we did. And were deserved winners. Probably not as easy as people may think and maybe the start of a positive run now. I'd like to see Stockley back though.
According to Rich Cawley just over 21k, which I think is a tad over the top. Yes the AC Stand was about 80% full across all blocks but plenty of empty seats in the Covered End Upper. I would say nearer 17k, seeing as Fleetwood look like they only bought a few hundred.
As for the game itself - most had already been said but I want to reiterate about our tactic of 50 yard diagonal balls by our central defenders. NO. Leave that sort of passing to the midfield. They should be the ones pulling the strings & making incisive passes.
I'd put Gilbey back in the team.....but unfortunately it would be for Morgan. As that wont happen now he's scored it will have to be (for now) for Lee. CBT is better on the right & hopefully once Castillo is fit & healthy he can play on the left.
Looking at the results nothing much has changed. We are still 6 points off relegation & 13 from the play offs. Bloody good job we won otherwise the shit really would have hit the fan on here.
Not keen on this formation, it'll be interesting to see how we look playing it with a proper wing back in the team. Typical Charlton, signing a player with covid.
Who has Covid and how can we sign a player in isolation ?
It is pretty amazing to me how we have a tendency to overrate our own. Albie has been horrible all year. He was dire in the first half and showed no effort. There was one point Clare received the ball when switched with only one Fleetwood player in front of him. DJ made a run up line looking for the long ball. Clare pointed for Albie to fill the space out wide or Albie could have cut back in the space in the middle for a short pass. What did Albie do, he literally stood right behind the defender and didn’t run or even jog anywhere to try to receive the ball. There were multiple instances of lack of effort in the first half. He definitely played well in the second half but one floated set piece to the tallest player on the pitch and a goal which should have been saved is not like he bossed the midfield. One half of good play and our fans are now saying he is undroppable. It makes no sense. Lee is absolutely in a funk but we are at our best this year when Gilbey brought that energy to the box to box midfield role. Albie second half performance was probably enough to retain his spot for the next match but the number of people on here thinking he has turned the corner is crazy. God I just realized that sound like Golfie.
Does make me laugh that those in the Norf Upper getting aggy and angry about young kids doing torches on their phones then start singing the that spine-chilling, intimidating football anthem “you really got me going now, shake it on baby now, twist and shout…”
I'm surprised how many 'fans' don't understand the importance of 3 points, after a complete rut, which we've tried to ignore after JJ was hired as full time Manager.

poor first half, better in the 2nd. Need stockley and Washington fit and then we are 3/4 quality players away from challenging next season
Second half better but even at 1up you was still on edge until Gilbey came on for the Woeful performance by Lee, then things changed for the better.
Certain individuals still need a kick up the arse, as better sides willl go through us on that!
