Post-match Thread: Charlton Athletic v Milton Keynes | Tuesday 22 February 2022

MK Dons visit The Valley in fine form. Charlton are on a bad run, with injuries having taken their toll (7). In the first 45, we competed well. MK Dons looked lethargic. Until they got in behind our backline and scored. Again, we concede too easily by through balls into our box.

In the second half, we failed to rebound. MK Dons scored again. We had chances, but not many and no gilt-edge opportunities from which we can draw comfort.

We’re simply not good enough. We’ve lost four in a row.

Charlton 0 MK Dons 2

Over to you.

    There were only two players in that side tonight who will be here when we eventually win promotion (providing they don’t move on to better things beforehand).

    Dobson and Lavelle.

    What a great player Lewington still is - composure and a sweet left foot. Better than any of ours
  • I appreciate emotions run high straight after a game, but this is the most spineless, gutless & worst Charlton team in my lifetime & probably the worst ever.

    We are fucked!
  • Shameful.

    Don’t like it when things go shit and people start turning on other fans. This whole pile of turd lays with the players, the coaching staff and those in senior positions. A total mess from top to bottom and everything needs changing in the summer.
  • Needs a major shake up, from top to bottom. Or this will be groundhog day every season.

    Hate to say it but 6/4 MK Dons with that CAFC line-up was like printing money.

    Dunno realistically where we go from here.

    Jackson completely at fault again.
    sent them out with a shocking shape, no game plan and just bizarre team selection.

    have to laugh, jackson who during the week says he wants more physicality this and next season , then decides to change play to have two 5’something midfielders as strikers! Beyond a joke

    yes injuries have hurt us, but we have to plan B - starting to wonder if we have a plan A!

    As I said, this squad is an enigma, how we can be that good for 30 mins then go missing for the next 60 mins EVERY GAME
    I just don't get it. 
  • Have real mixed emotions tonight.

    Feel the comments that verge on saying Jackson Out, need to have a bit of perspective - Feel they'll be saying: "Told you so", when our form picks up the moment we get back Stockley | Washington | Fraser | Aneke under a new man.

    Would love to see how any team would cope with names like those four missing from a squad.

    In the same vein though, those we do have... They need to stop giving up the moment we go behind, I mean they should be bloody used to it by this point, its been scary these last few years how we've looked so lost the moment we go a goal down.

    Need to build a team around George Dobson - As at the moment... Game after game, he's the one player who should be leaving the pitch with any pride, as it is, I bet he's glad he's only got a two year deal at the moment.

    Im off to cheer myself up to see how our loan players have done tonight!!

    Did you see Lavelle’s defending for the second goal?

    I know it has nothing to do with the game but where is JFC?!?!
    We gave a contract to someone who wont even be able to play a game come the start of March

    This is a real low point. Jackson isn't the man to take us forward. I don't know how anyone could watch what is currently being served up and think he is.

    Since when was Burstow a 5'something midfielder?

    He's currently in the CharltonTV studio

    On a serious note, it sounds like he'll be back with the U23s soon

    First half we were pretty decent. But we had nothing up top. 
    Heads dropped a little after the first goal. Killer pass for that goal btw. 
    Mason had a good chance, but bounced it over the crossbar. 
    MKD (and I hate to say it) totally outclassed us in the second half. 
    Thought Castillo looked ok. 
    And that’s it.

    We weren't even THAT bad tonight. Just outclassed. Which might be worse

  • The Good:

    I didn't suffer a six-hour round trip to watch that.

    The Hoover.

    Another game closer to the end of the season.

    No closer to the relegation spots, still a nine point buffer.

    Half as crap as Saturday, in that we only lost by two.

    The Bad:

    One game less to secure safety.

    No shots on target ... at home.

    Another injury to a striker, this time it's Mason gone crook.

    The Ugly:

    Our defending. F*** me that's grim. For both goals the scorer was all on his lonesome.

    Everything else.

    Any stick to beat Jackson with.

    The alternative was to throw in Kanu / Campbell who could yet have their development put back by this sort of form the team is in - We've seen it before, not just with Joe Pigott, yet Karlan Grant too

    Players out are killing us, potentially 4 strikers now, Fraser, JFC, CBT maybe Innis as well.....and that would hurt any team BUT apart from the first 20/25 mins we were chasing shadows, not competing, look beaten as soon as 1 goal goes in.....no fight.....this is not a squad I recognise......glad as a ST holder I cant make midweek games due to work......next 3 games...3 losses I think. Just pathetic....62 years supporting and Im just staggered at the ineptness of this squad.....really saddened.
