It’s depressing again at The Valley as we fall down 4-0 to Karl Robinson’s Oxford.
With a changed lineup, forced in part due to sustained injuries, we started brightly and controlled the game for the first twenty minutes. Then, in a nine minute stretch, Oxford went 2-0 up. It was a gut punch from which we couldn’t recover. In the second half, we tried to mount a comeback, but Oxford found their way through our fragile and confidence-shot back three on multiple occasions. They were able to score another goal to go three up. A silly bit of afters saw Clare sent off in frustration from a straight red (which has been coming over the past three matches) and another Oxford goal put them four up. It could easily have been six.
Best to forget this one as quickly as possible as we limp through the rest of this season.

Best spell of the game for us was the 20 minutes before they scored. Unfortunately there was no one up front to put the ball in the net. It would’ve been a different game.
As it is, the mental deficiencies in this squad were horribly exposed by Oxford.
That’s my contribution to this thread done. Have at it you lot.
Front to back this team are no where near to standard. Wouldn’t be annoyed if not one of them are here next season.
I never want to see Matthews again. Ever.
I never want to see Purrington playing in a back 3 again.
I want to see a Charlton team that plays with pride and ability. That will never happen with this lot.
Where on earth do we go now?
I don't want Jackson in charge next season.
He said it was so bad, he left with 15 minutes left!
The worst team we have ever had in my lifetime.
