That enough for me this season I will watch again next season when hopefully we have some players and a management team with a plan other than "let's keep hitting it to a big fella" and hope we bore the death out the other team so they go to sleep.
Out thought and out played by a really shite team.1 -
Not sure if we'll get much better with Jackson and Skiverton around. Good coaches make players better, ours make them worse.2

Does football have a Gordon Ramsey equivalent? If so can we get him down to Sparrows Lane.1

We're not very good are we .0

I celebrated our goal but god damn. That’s the last straw I’m not wasting my money anymore.1

Wimbledon were shite for the first twenty minutes and we could/should have been two goals up but as usual we cocked up. Then we go awol, lose control and this very poor Wimbledon team start to get their act together and it becomes an even game. Innis let us down big time. Wombles looked as if they would score and then Matthews and Stockley combine to score a great goal out of nowhere. At this point the game is exciting but some duff defending let the Wombles in but at least we didn't lose. Overall, we generally lack cohesion. Lee typifies this by neatly controlling the ball, skilfully beats a couple of players and then gives the ball away but to be fair he had one of his better games. What next? Gawd knows!0

Is IQ a component of the black box? It don’t seem so with the signings we made. Some of the thickest footballers I have watched in many a decade. Just poor poor decision making all round.8

I think anyone drawing parallels with the season Chris powell took over and rebuilt, are maybe really clutching at straws, I’m just not sure the club have the capability or wherewithal to do it again, I feel like we’ve sunk too far. It’s really going to take TS to be overly aggressive with transfer offers and contracts, to turn what we currently have into anything close to competing let alone actually getting promoted next season. As it stands watching interviews I’m not sure that he sees the approach I just mentioned a way he wants to do it. But Its not my money I guess. I know it’s a bold statement, but I don’t remember such a disappointing shit stain of a season, when starting off with so much hope. Our chips have been Royally pissed on by the team/club this season.8
-
Next year will be a repeat of this year. Jackson is not the man to lead us forward and TS will figure that out about the same time he sacked Nigel this season. By then it will be too late.

Shocking. I got shouted down on Saturday during the game for saying that Gilbey performed the perfect yellow card offence twice and it looked a bit dodgy. Now Inniss has committed a foul so bad even David Blunkett would give a straight red. What’s going on? Do these players seriously want to get out of the club that badly????1
-
In terms of offering them any credit, it was the goal and how well we organised immediately after the goal because Wimbledon really looked shell shocked. Aside from that and a few half chances in the first 10 minutes, it was a dire game of football with equally nothing offered from either side.
One of my best mates is an AFC fan and I messaged him at HT saying if they just had a bit more they could potentially cause us problems. They don’t. 2 goals in their last 6 games, no wins since Huddersfield were last beaten or whatever the run is, they are going down. It wasn’t for the want or trying on their part, but that bloke up top was on loan at Hampton & Richmond earlier this season, now he’s leading the line for them.
Which brings me onto us. Tonight we faced a team on par with Crewe and Doncaster and even with 11 men, made hard work of it. Unlike the defeat at Crewe, and that horrible run of 6 defeats in 7, that’s not far off a full strength team. During that run we could argue no Stockley or Washington etc, however, tonight, we’ve got a lot of players that people would argue are making up the core of our team next year in Mac, Clare, Dobson, JFC, Jayisemi, Stockley, or contracted or likely to be here next year, and they made hard work of a bloody poor opposition.
If the fact that even our more ‘capable’ players aren’t good enough to get us promoted with additions hasn’t sunk in yet, I suggest having a lie down.
This current crop, even with bright lights like Dobson are very, very far off, and Saturday and tonight accentuates that.We have an inexperienced manager leading a hugely mediocre squad with a club run by a man who despite his financial commitment, doesn’t really look like he has the insight to fix the many, many problems that seem to exist in the current climate.I would say with each game that passes, my confidence in the players, the manager and the owner diminishes. In fact, unless I see 11/12 new faces come through the door in the summer with a similar amount leave, I would say next season could get very ugly, very quickly26 -
At least Innis got some minutes under his belt.59

Flattering to deceive. There were a couple of times tonight that if Washington had been more alert and paying more attention instead of throwing his arms in the air and moaning, he might have been through on goal. He runs around a lot I grant you, but that in itself doesn’t win matches.bromleyjohn said:Washington worked hard; they all worked hard but somehow it isn’t enough.3 -
Just crazy.
Johnnie Jackson fan but the moronic behaviour of Gilbey and Inniss reflects poorly on him.
JJ has to lay the law down because we will never lose the Joker tag. I live surrounded by Chelsea and Palace fans and it's murder.
Inniss, Lavelle and Purrington will all be out for Rotherham.
We have battled away over the last two games but shocking discipline by two players has cost us points.
The games should about seeing who wants to be here next season now; Inniss and Gilbey obviously don't.
Shit for brains really isn't good enough to merit being a pro footballer in my book.4 -

About 2! Wasn’t it Reza who came on as sub and then got sent off? Fuck me, what on earth was going through his brain?KettsJohn said:At least Innis got some minutes under his belt.1 -
Jackson will always be one of my all time favourite players. But tonight I'm afraid I have come to the conclusion that he just isn't cut out for a manager's role and sadly I don't believe he is the man to take us forward.
For much of tonight we were just awful. No control, no passing, no nothing. His tactics were all over the place again, summed up best by J F_C trying to play the role Dobson has been doing for months of sitting just in front of the back 4. The result was in the first half the 2 of them were playing so deep we had no midfield. And for crying out loud, this 3-5-2 just isn't working.
Ryan Inniss' assault on the Wimbledon player was an absolute disgrace. You could see from Jackson's post match interview he was as fed up with it as we are. I suspect we will never see Inniss in a Charlton shirt again.
And I've got a horrible feeling we are going to see Matthews get offered a new contract. On tonight's performance, fair enough but over the season, no way. And as long as we keep players like him we are never going anywhere.
Really desperate times. And unless we are very careful next season could be a disaster.

Jacko has already nabbed Bowyer's negative traits, at a speed I never thought would be possible.
Stubborn and playing people out of position is one thing but both his discipline and the teams is awful and can be backed up statistically.
The post match interviews have become negative and miserable too.
FFS all so quickly since everybody looked so up for it during the interim honeymoon.6 -

Inniss should be fined three weeks wages. Absolutely farcical. Showed complete contempt for his team mates, his manager and the Club.
Lavelle looks like he will be out for a while and so does Purrington.
Saturday looks like the match we play some of our youngsters from the bench. Luckily it is a should win game 😬1 -
I can't remember a Charlton team with so little tactical shape, way of playing, ability to pass forward and confidence. We are so one dimensional it hurts.
The fact that the past 10 years plus have been nothing short of abysmal (minus 2 seasons), it is an incredible achievement to be the worst team in that period.
Sick of every single member of the playing staff and management.16 -
I thought he was piss poor tonight and Saturday v Lincoln. Just when I was starting to think he was a good player, but then we have a number of players who can put together several above average appearance before slipping back into the morass.EveshamAddick said:

Home in the warm and reflecting.I’ve a small amount of sympathy with Innis, coming back after another lengthy layoff and wanting to be Roy of the Rovers to show he’s worthy of a new contract but as soon as he took the heavy touch I was wincing in anticipation….so so stupid.I hate Mathews more but that was a great battling run just in front of us to pick out Stockley and he almost repeated it on the subbed defender not long after but you can have everything, he should still be out on his ear….along with most of them…0

I notice Stockton scored again.1

Oh mate, when you see that tackle again any sympathy you have for him should vanish. In fact, it wasn't a tackle it was an assault.Fumbluff said:Home in the warm and reflecting.I’ve a small amount of sympathy with Innis, coming back after another lengthy layoff and wanting to be Roy of the Rovers to show he’s worthy of a new contract but as soon as he took the heavy touch I was wincing in anticipation….so so stupid.I hate Mathews more but that was a great battling run just in front of us to pick out Stockley and he almost repeated it on the subbed defender not long after but you can have everything, he should still be out on his ear….along with most of them…6 -

You have a short memory ?
You must yearn for Nigel Adkins and no shots on target.3 -
Lets be fair to Adkins and Jackson, Klopp wouldn't get this team anywhere near they play offs. They have had little to no say in recruitment or contract renewals.J BLOCK said:Next year will be a repeat of this year. Jackson is not the man to lead us forward and TS will figure that out about the same time he sacked Nigel this season. By then it will be too late.
Could they both have done better? Probably. Would it have been good enough? No certainly not.
Until we have a manager in charge of everything we will fail, who ever it is. Because the non footballing management haven't got a clue, and worse, they think they have.
Something fundamentally has to change.8 -
He is incredibly limited as a footballer. Inability to hold it up for support and can't shoot. Lose count of the amount of times he just tackles himselfEveshamAddick said:

It looked like a Hackney Marshes tackle. I do think he came back after a long lay off and wasn't at the pace of the game. It mitigates but doesn't excuse. This is after all professional football not Sunday League football even if it is League One.1
