Jackson must go. He should not to be trusted to spend big and carry on with this dire formation5

I have been going since 1967.
This is the worst team I can remember.
The team and the set up is rotten. No skill, no pride, no passion.
The entire management and coaching teams should all be sacked immediately.
Enough is enough.4 -
Didn’t mean to imply that - it was wishful thinking rather than expectation. 11/12 was a promotion season, 17/18 was a playoff season with promotion a year later. Goes to show that as bad as this season was, it can turn around very quickly. Think we’d all take top six for next season if it was offered.Cafc43v3r said:

Absolute spineless bunch of wankers
(apart from Dobson)2 -
I know this is hardly a novel view, but other than (possibly) Dobson and Blackett-Taylor, IMO we don't have a single player that's good enough to be in the 1st 11 of a promotion-winning side.
And, sadly, I just don't think our manager and coaches are up to it either.
If we genuinely aspire to promotion, we need a near-total rebuild under a new manager.19 -
They had four shots on target and scored four goals… his distribution wasn’t any good either.Todds_right_hook said:How did the keeper do?1 -
To be honest, he almost blocked a couple of them. But he wasn't the problem today.Todds_right_hook said:

Half expected these piss artists to win today just to try and make Sandgaard think the squad is salvageable. It’s not, none of it is. 4-0 against Ipswich, a team we almost always nick something off even when we’re bad, is a good summary of where we are. Burn it all. Keep the people who work in the ticket office and the groundsmen and sack off the rest. No mercy. I’d love a refreshed squad under Jackson to storm the league next season but it’s more likely we’ll just see the same again. What a life4

Could've been better placed for 4th. No chance for first two.Todds_right_hook said:

Probably not. He doesn't yet have the physical presence that you'd want.Todds_right_hook said:

Tbh I would take like looking like a top six side, like Oxford and Plymouth, now if it was offered.Callumcafc said:

Less talk mate. Got a lot of work to doScoham said:8 -
We certainly saved the worst for last and that was one of the poorest performances I’ve seen from a Charlton side for some time, particularly out of possession. We were outclassed from first to last and looked like a National League side (a National League South side, that is). Most certainly not a performance to persuade waverers to take the plunge and buy a season ticket.
The first half was comfortably controlled by Ipswich. The early goals were just what an out of form team needed and they dominated all aspects of the game.
We afforded them far too much space in midfield from the very start and repeatedly failed to track the opposition runners. Chaplin and Celina had the freedom of the park and, every time Ipswich came forward with intent, it was like the parting of the Red Sea. Burns was also given acres of space on the right wing in the early part of the game and we found ourselves hopelessly exposed time and again. Thereafter, Ipswich kept possession well, untroubled by any pressure on the ball or pressing from Charlton. They also won practically every 50/50.
One good cross from Matthews and header from Stockley drew a good save towards the end of the first half but that was all we could muster. Stockley and Washington were isolated, with little support from the invisible man - aka Gilbey - and the other midfielders, whilst our principal threat, Blackett-Taylor, only got over the halfway line once or twice in the first half. On the occasions that Washington had one-on-ones on the left side, the Ipswich defender dominated him.
The goal early in the second half killed the game and Washington then compounded matters by somehow blasting a gilt-edged chance over the bar from 8 yards. There followed a series of squandered chances by Ipswich, who opened us up at will. Stockley thumped a header against the underside of the bar from a lovely Blackett-Taylor cross when it looked far, far easier to score. The fourth goal duly arrived near the end after Ipswich had missed some very presentable chances and, on the balance of play, it could easily have end 6 or 7-2.
Overall, the game merely served to reinforce serious concerns about the quality of our players, the standard of coaching and the team’s tactical approach and formation. It was also an insult to the travelling support.
Groping for a positive out of what was an utterly feeble performance, at least it lays bare the level of improvement that will be required if we are to be competitive in this division. If we had somehow won the game, seven wins from the last ten would have been trumpeted and could have been deployed to try and paper over the cracks.
At least it’s all over.

Really poor finish to the season. The difference in the pressing of the 2 teams was massive. We had no time on the ball whilst they had time to spare. Trouble is, this has been the same for most games this season.2

Feel for JJ....most of this team are spineless.....Kevin Lisbie said it we need 'characters and winners' in this team....saying that JJ hasn't helped himself with this formation0
-
We started playing at 3 down and it could have easily been 3-3 at one point … JJ job starts now he will be judged on next season when he gets his players to play his system13

Utterly dreadful - I left with 15 mins left - at least the pub pre match was a laugh - got to be in the top 3 worst performances this season - they might as well have brought their sun loungers out and lay there on the pitch, ready for their holidays
Support today was superb - badly let down by the team1 -
A fitting end to an atrocious season. Nothing positive to be taken from that performance.0
