HT 0-0 very frustrating first half, defence having to work hard because we can't keep the ball in midield, Ness and Maynard having a good game, we could do with a change up top, Leaburn and Kanu getting outdone, very lightweight, not much available I know...🤷♂️
Great tactical foul from Lavelle on Ward, that the ref completely ignores. Was sensible from our player as Ness had dived into a tackle and taken himself out of the the Posh attack
Want to see more from Fraser. He does a lovely line in body swerves to find space and time on the ball but rarely does anything come from it. This is the kind of match you really need your playmaker to grab by the scruff of the neck. Posh are there for the taking. First goal wins this one imo.
I can certainly see that argument. Though you could probably counter that he would be better served by more convincing options up front to play it to.
Definitely need more of a creative option after that half
Leaburn and Kanu are battling as best as possible, but they're both showing their inexperience - Dobson is breaking up play well, and Fraser is doing well to get us going, but still question Payne as a starter, as he seems the link between Midfield and Attack.
I mean Kanu just dropped deeper to get a ball, lays it off, with a pass eventually trying to find its way to Payne, but its cut out because Jack waits for the ball to reach him, rather than closing the gap.
Defensively we've not done badly... Inniss definitely isnt the Naby Sarr in this team, Lavelle has looked a lot more confident, whilst Ness is learning and improving.
The way Peterborough defend, I'm surprised they've not drawn more... Says a lot about us I guess
You can see the problems in the team. We are effectively been carrying Kanu and Jack Payne doesn't affect the game but pops up here and there. Apart from two wayward passes by Innis and Ness which almost cost us, the back three has been ok. Maynard Brewer has affected the game more than any other Charlton player.

Well it certainly doesn’t help but how many times as he played a good ball up to Leaburn and Kanu? They are both struggling to get into the game but I haven’t seen them being given much by our midfield to work with either.
However, I’m happy to see us focused on getting back to basics and, to be honest, I’d take a clean sheet and a point to stop the rot.
Same old same old. Looks like Posh have an extra player on the field sometimes. Noticed how Peterborough’s forwards are ready to come back and nick the ball off our defenders as they try to play out, ours will close down the keeper and then give up once it is passed beyond them.
Just feels like the big mistake we will make will lead to the winning goal, once again.

Sums up today's game.
Sums up this season.
