Post-match Thread: Charlton Athletic vs Oxford United | Saturday 19th February 2022

LoOkOuT

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.

Will we have the missing players back by then?

Gutless display.  Players not interested.

Really?

This will be fun.

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.

Thought we played well

Exiled_Addick

Innis, Dobson, Morgan, Burstow the only ones putting in any kind of effort. The rest of them can all fuck the fuck off. 

Matthews can fuck off the furthest.

Karl Robinson’s best managerial performance at the Valley

Appalling. Purrington and Matthews both defend so poorly.

Did not go today because of Covid, my mate said atmosphere getting as bad as Adkins, and exodus on 3rd goal, Can anyone confirm or deny?

J BLOCK

Indefinable. Jackson isn’t the man to take us forward. Clear out needed, inc coaches and established manager to come in, with his own structure.

Front to back this team are no where near to standard. Wouldn’t be annoyed if not one of them are here next season. 

Tactically, the worst I’ve seen in ten years. 

JamesSeed

Hate Oxford. 

Burstow was giving it plenty. 

Any other U23s or U18s up for it on Tuesday? Need a complete shake up. 

Fortune 82nd Minute

I never want to see Lee or Leko on a red shirt again. Send them back to Luton and Birmingham tonight. 

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? 

BigRedEvil

Nobody looked interested, even the bench. Waste of an afternoon. Also our keeper is very suspect, 2 of the goals today he should have done better 

paulfox

we need a new manager bounce!!, oh hang on??

SouthWest_Addicks

Disgrace. Unacceptable performance at The Valley. Hate them all. Clare was a disgrace getting himself sent off

ValleyGary

Despise them all bar Dobson and Innis. Genuine dislike for my own football team, sad times.

Bye jacko

Our players are just not this bad. A few of them are previous player of the season winners for other clubs. Our defensive setup is just not working, 2 clean sheets in 13 (in all competitions).

I don't want Jackson in charge next season.

cafckev

My son just rang me to say that in the 10 years he’s been going to Charlton, today was the first time he has ever left before that end of the game.
He said it was so bad, he left with 15 minutes left!

EveshamAddick

Only JJ’s second home defeat since October. And with the same players, pretty much. You have Stockley, Aneke and Washington all on the pitch, it makes a massive difference. For a start, plenty of goals between them. For a second start, means that 3 of those who played today wouldn’t be on the pitch or even in the squad potentially.

Curbey

Matthews is awful should have fucked off when he pissed about resigning his contract! 

The worst team we have ever had in my lifetime. 

Nicholas

Jackson out useless shocking  manager. Players out of position he ain’t got a clue. Get rid now Thomas. 

Jayajosh

Anyone have any stats on Matthews, we never win when he plays and I’m really interested to know his playing record for us? Same team of old, start bright and look good and then give up after going a goal down. Lightweights throughout the whole team!

SDAddick

Three game ban for Clare as well which means that unless there's a shock recall for Gunter we're likely to see more of Matthews. 

MuttleyCAFC

We sort it out for next season. The plan for the summer should be finalised during the end of this season. I don't think sacking the manager is the answer. We need a plan and continuity and we need to get rid of some and replace with better. If you are a misser, and your record will testify if you are, then you need to be bloody good to be worth keeping. I'd put Dobson in that category then....????????

Do you truly believe it would’ve been different if Washington and Aneke/Stockley were fit? This good-for-20-minutes-until-the-opposition-figure-us-out thing has been happening all season long, regardless of who is fit. It happened just last match at Wigan and we did manage to score first there.
