2-0 half time, both sides are not having a good game, we are goals up from two good finishes, ref's having a quiet game, mind you, both sides not giving her too much to do., so into the second half with The Covered End to help us over the line..
We look awful, but this is one of those games where our little bit of extra quality shows, whether it's the beautiful chip from Washington or the danger of CBT's pace allowing him to create that bit of space for a shot.
To me it's good evidence that we have far more quality than the sides around us when key players are fit. It is something of a damming indictment of where we sit in the table.
I don’t mean to be dour when we are winning, but even with new players in next season, I just fail to see how this coaching set up gets the best out of them.
We look so clueless when we are in possession it’s embarrassing.
Not playing well but will always take winning 2-0 at half time. Need to improve in the second half in terms of keeping possession.
We look like we’ve been told to look for the ball over the top. Great example was Stockley near the end there, going for the direct and more difficult ball to Washington when he should have played the simple ball for CBT to run onto.
JFH must be dumbfounded in the Burton dressing room.
"Lads, you've done everything I asked of you. You've pressured Charlton at almost every opportunity, kept them penned back in their own half for long periods. You've been by far the better side.
But how, in the name of all that is holy, have you managed to come in 2-0 down to this shower of shite?"
Jacko in the Charlton dressing room: "Lads, you've been fcuking appalling. Your passing has been woeful. Defensively you look like a mistake waiting to happen. We'just hoofing the ball long and expecting Conor to run his plums off to chase down your shitness.
If you can call it pattern of play, our is long ball. I’ve never been so bored at a game we are now as I write this 2-0 up in, and it’s not because we have been good. We really are terribly average at best.
Points are pretty much meaningless for us. Jackson-ball will only ever get us mid table next season.
Is that what it’s called, it’s so non discript. It really does seem like eleven individuals with the rare occasion of interplay between two of them. Tepid, boring, disjointed,and to be saying our team aren’t a team with two months of a season to go says it all to me.
I feel bad at being negative at half time when winning 2-0 but that was dire ! I'm seeing no progress at all in terms of the football. Wtf do they coach in the week ? We just dont seem able to keep the ball on the ground. If this is JJ's style of play I think our marketing team might have to get Putin in to fill the valley next season.TOTAL BOREFEST

Anyway, I’m feeling a bit peckish- anyone know if there’s a bakery nearby?"

You missed a bit. Corrected for you. 😎
I'm sure JFH knows the precise location of all food outlets in and around The Valley and what's served up at each, from his time here.
About the only thing he didn't locate were the goals ...
We’re just coming out of a horrible run of losses. I’m not completely surprised we’re not playing free flowing football. Points on the board is how you build back towards that.
Grab another goal, put this out of reach and I reckon that will come.

Well that’s what I’m hoping, maybe JJ has set us up this way to try and grind out the wins, and make sure we are safe.
But considering all the evidence on show, pre this bad run as well, I am just not sure if it’s down to the fact we are poorly coached.
Remember we’ve been outplayed by a league 2 and national league side this year.

And somehow you're 2-0 up.
Same again second half please."

Two good goals but Burton could and should have scored 3.
Important we have back to back wins and we win more games than we lose when Stockley and Washington play in a two up front.

Central free kick, about 25 yards out ...
