Garner must be sitting at home pulling out what hair he has left, this is seriously very disturbing stuff we are being dished up here, we are not a team we are a bunch of players who should be better than the sum of their parts on this showing. We need some big turn around to have any hope of getting anything from this game and ultimately the season...NOW FFS CHARLTON SHOW SOME GUTS AND FIGHT..
Do me a favour, he’s smarter than that, I expect he’s live streaming the casket instead
I've been reading stuff all season about our new style of football. I've assumed that I just don't understand things properly but, seriously, can someone explain to me how this is different from what we've seen for the last few seasons?
Keep up, its because Garner plays an exciting brand of possession based attacking football.
Stats from that half: 45% possession, 1 shot, 0 on target.
Mr Rifkind I have used your 'ticket price relates to league position' equation, next home game is £10 entry for all and you owe the season ticket holders for the shit being served up.
Only 1 team playing as a team and it isn't us - just like previous seasons under Adkins and JJ we look good for a few games then we get found out and then its downhill all the way
Half this side were recruited from league Two and it shows.
Four players in this line up... CBT | Payne | O'Connell | Wollacott
Four who haven't disgraced themselves tbh!
Five i think. we sign Lavelle from division 2 Morecombe./

Nope... Lavelle had played five League One games before we signed him from Morecambe
We do now have five out there though, Egbo joins the other four I mentioned
Because we have the remains from Adkins, Jackson and a few bought for Garner.
It's 3 different squads mashed into 1 and plays like it.
With the right striker we’d look a lot better in a 4-3-3, it’s only Stockley it doesn’t suit.
Didn’t get much better last Tuesday though did it
We didn’t have a better striker on Tuesday?
“It’s only Stockley it doesn’t suit” is the part I was quipping on but somehow pointing out that this is all bollocks gets frowned upon
The right striker would score goals and make our pressing a lot more effective, that would build confidence and get results.
Yes but surely then logic suggests getting that striker in first ahead of other positions/cover that would have mattered less like McStandstill or no-bloody-one or the excruciating tiresome experts excuse “play the winger up front”….there’s a reason he’s a winger (and a league one winger ffs)

So 5 players from league Two plus a couple of under 21s. Not exactly what is needed to get promoted.

It's GaRnErBaLL
To play high press you need to play three up top to stop the opposition defence getting out but by doing that you need to have at least two goalscorers in that front three and also they must be mobile, which Stockley isn't.

It's amazing what happens when you play your preferred formation and better players in their natural positions.

Expect we won’t make this early attacking pay off, and then it will just slump into a turgid game.
Masters of our own demise. Same old story.
