I’m going to keep it simple. Fleetwood started the better side and dominated the first half, taking a one nil lead into the break.
Charlton made changes in the second half, bringing on Egbo and shifting formation, which brought us back into the game. Fleetwood lost all momentum and looked tired in the legs quite early into the second. Egbo found himself in the box with plenty of room on the right side and his cross almost found the back of the net when it spun back out from the inside far post. ALthough we looked better (we hit the crossbar too), it didn’t look like we had enough to get back into it.
Until Miles Leaburn came on. He brought us level with an audacious back heal! With renewed confidence, we then had a few chances to take all three points. Rak Sakyi had a couple of break away opportunities, but he couldn’t find the winner.
Unfortunately it wasn’t to be. We come away with a point, but we’re really not very good. We’re missing some key ingredients and a lot of confidence.

Safe journey everyone.6

No wins since the end of the transfer window.
Somehow I don't think that's a coincidence. Seems a lot of the good feeling around the club dropped the moment we couldn't land a striker on deadline day.
Clearly Stockley doesn't fit in this formation and too many youth players are asked to paper over the cracks of the squad depth. Not good enough.32 -
Bloody good point - just keep racking up those point(minus the wishful S) lads.5

Nine games played, still only two losses.
Our problem is converting the draws into losses (I meant wins). Either by keeping goals out more efficiently or showing more quality in the box.
2-2 vs Accrington
1-1 vs Cambridge
1-1 vs Wycombe
1-1 vs Forest Green
1-1 vs Fleetwood
are all missed opportunities.24 -
Much better second half but that is a really crap result for a team that's supposedly after promotion.

0 goals in 9 from Open play for Captain Stockley now.15

Much better second half. Rak-Sakyi should be with us for the full season. He can still develop at this level.
Egbo looked excellent.
Not pleased with a point but after that start I'm surprised we came away with something.
Good character from the squad but I can't see us making the top 8 this season as things stand.9 -
The whole thing is too embarrassing. Drawing to Forest Green and Fleetwood. It is so embarrassing. Walked past two Toolbox neighbours yesterday. Gave them the bird of course, and they said "But you are shxt". I said "I know. I ain't gonna defend us". Today's result says it all.1

Awful first half, wrong formation and deserving to lose - second half changes worked 433 suits CBT and Rak Sakyi far better and we started to look more threatening, good to see Egbo he looks good going forward and what a finish from young Leaburn.
Still so frustrating that we miss having the right players in key positions - left back and up top where Stockley looks poor whatever formation we play - did he even win an attacking header today?1 -
Middle of September and all hopes of promotion are gone unless you are one of the rose tinted glasses brigade.
Sad.24 -
Hard to know what to think about that. I still see many more encouraging signs then I did in the previous couple of years, but I also see a hangover of the same negatives beginning to creep in every game.
Think whatever happens this season we need to stick with Garner, as frustrating as it might get. But we also need to have someone who will back him and bring in the right players.

Watched on the TV
Looked poor throughout and lucky to nick a point. Greg Stubley summed it up for me by saying we look like eleven strangers out there.
Rak Saki should be nowhere near a starting eleven with his lack of experience, he should be on loan with Sutton United.
With a choice of forwards from two inexperienced kids, one crock and Stockley we are going nowhere fast.23 -

This is last season all over again. Fed up with it all. Much better 2nd half yes, but my Christ we are so bang average. It's depressing with our club at the moment it really is. Need a massive change in culture at the club and that starts from the top.

Got to be reasonably content with a point after a dire first half. Let’s hope that Ben Garner doesn’t repeat the misguided approach of playing Corey-Blackett at right back and Rak-Sakyi as a second striker.
We were much better in the second half, with Egbo and Fraser particularly impressive and Miles Leaburn’s excellent finish earned us a deserved point.3 -
Point closer to safety4

First half sounded absolute unadulterated crap! The formation was quite clearly wrong with the players we have, obviously thankful that the formation was changed and to me it sounded as though Egbo made a huge difference. For me, and I may get pelters for this, I'm glad we didn't win it as it would've papered over the poor first half. Don't get me wrong I want us to win every game, but sometimes a result like Tuesdays and today's may kick some much needed realism into TS and Co.0

At work on 12 hours and it's one of those easy Saturdays when just me and the shift team are having a quiet plant behaving day.
Couldn't be bothered to see how we were getting on until a few minutes ago. Not surprised we didn't win at all.0 - Sponsored links:

To be fair Mike i think Rak is one of the only players we have who can win or turn a game. Think he will be outstanding as he develops.eaststandmike said:Watched on the TV

Those 2 inexperienced kids have scored 5 goals this season and linked up to score the equaliser and JRS is way better than Sutton - yes he was wasteful with a couple of chances today but at least he got into the right positions but I'm sure he will learn and get better - true we shouldn't be relying on them as our only goal outlets but it's not their fault that the club wouldn't replace Stockley with the right player for the systemeaststandmike said:Watched on the TV

What a lovely lad Miles is!5

Swindon unbeaten in 8.

First half was awful, worse than Bolton because Bolton are a good, well-drilled side. Second half was much better without being fantastic. It really shows that two decent halves and we could very well have won.
The thing that gives me hope is Sess and Egbo as overlapping fullbacks next week with JRS and CBT on the flanks and Leaburn up front. That will feel more like the side we were hoping for in terms of quality and mobility.
But we have to stop letting in soft goals.18 -
Agreed - whilst I've been moaning about us not getting a centre forward to fit the system we also look all over the place at the back a lot of the time and have been saved by the oppositions poor end product quite oftenSDAddick said:First half was awful, worse than Bolton because Bolton are a good, well-drilled side.

Was feeling very sorry for the travelling Addicks when Miles came to their rescue with the backheel. Hopefully made their journey home much more enjoyable.Obviously that was a shocking first half, with no redeeming features. Outplayed, out muscled, out thought. Don’t even want to think about how bad that was.Tremendous change in the second half though. Better formation, and a real positive in Egbo. Looks like a proper right back, and he’s stronger than Clare.Loved Leaburn’s interview after the match. Hopefully that’ll get posted on Twitter, and reposted here.Should have won it in the end. Hit the woodwork twice, and Rak Sakyi could have done better when put through. And when he blazed over. And when he missed the sitter in the first half. Hopefully he’ll be less profligate in future, but he’s very young tbf.Dobson had an unusually poor game. His passing was way off today. Thought Fraser and Payne were ok, and improved before Payne came off.If CBT’s shot had gone in rather than hit the bar we’d be all set for the weekend.5

Good point. I'm increasingly confident about staying up this season.14
