POST-MATCH THREAD: Derby County V Charlton Athletic: Saturday 18th February 2023: KO 3.00 Pm

edited February 2023 in General Charlton
Charlton travelled away to Derby this afternoon in search of a good performance and a result to move further up the table. Unfortunately, Derby had other plans, which seemed to include limiting our wide play by effectively stifling Rak-Sakyi and Blackett-Taylor. Michael Hector made his full debut and got off to a rocky start when he handled the ball in the box to give Derby a penalty on about seven minutes. Once Derby went 1-0 up, they were comfortable and we never looked much like troubling them.

We kept the game close well into the second half, without ever finding a footing going forward, but once Derby scored their second, we were never going to rebound. George Dobson made a characteristically good tackle, sliding in and knocking the ball into touch deceptively with his off foot. The referee bought the Derby player’s reaction, called a foul, and booked Dobbo. The resulting free kick was swung in and put away with a header to send Derby free and clear. A bit unfair, but we weren’t really in it against a composed and effective Derby. We’re just not at their level.

    Our performance was better than our previous 2 matches but still pretty shite. The fact Derby had to rebuild last summer and are still so much better than us should embarrass TS.

    We need an excellent summer transfer window if we're gonna be able to perform at a similar level to teams like Derby next season. If we're reliant on Martin and his black box again then we've got no chance.
  • We know we're not much more than a mid table L1 side. End of the season is going to be a slog just hope we can get some serious investment in the side in the summer

    Nice that we got a post match goal!
  • Let's pretend that we have scored...
  • Just another fantastic game in league one.

  • At least there was some enjoyable 96th minute drama in the Premier League…
  • Derby are a good deal better than us but our last three games have been shockers. Get seven or eight points, sort out who's/running or owning the club and start to get some belief back in the summer. Can't keep criticising the same players, we know they are not good enough, it's been said a thousand times. 
  • Don’t think you can say there a massive difference between the two sides .. I think it’s pretty clear we can’t and don’t have the players to play 433 ..we just don’t have the quality on the flanks to create the chances .. most of Derbys best moments come from us losing the ball time and time again ….midfield totally out outplayed today there also seem to be 3 derby players to one of ours , Holden should have changed it at ht . Again I ask the question what did we create ? one chance by Bonne for Raki ?? Not good enough from the wide areas and central mid .
     Now we seen Hector think we can go 3 at the back pushing Clare up as wing back .. make us stronger in midfield . CBT and Raki would not play them next week try something different . 
    Bonne done well today did not deserve to come off .. MOM Clare he was excellent again 

    Yes there was. They had a desire to win every ball and work their socks from the kick off. You must be watching another game as Bonne was shite.
  • Rather crap wasn't it. We just don't have a good enough squad to compete in the top half of the league, and that speaks volumes. 
  • A frustrating game, which shows exactly why we are where we are.

    Derby played well, they moved the ball quickly and decisively, and defended and pressed exceptionally. They are a team full of championship quality players so it’s not hard to see why, and people should be looking at how good they are before looking at how poor we were.

    And to that point. I don’t think we were terrible at all - but we were so bad in key moments particularly in the attacking third.

    For all Derbys swift attacking play we essentially gifted them both their goals, and in reverse whenever we got the ball into a good position they had to do nothing special to defend it.

    We really need to figure out how to use our CF more effectively, especially when JRS gets marked out the game. Leaburn might have more of the attributes to be in the game more in that position, but on the whole it’s going to be difficult for anyone if they are always so isolated.

  • there was no way we were going to score today, very poor going forward

    That’s another example, after Bolton a couple of weeks ago, of how far we are from being competitive in this league. 
    Which will be even more highlighted when we play the League leaders next week. 

    Tough 3 games coming up. Don't think we will be dragged into a relegation scrap but will soon be in the bottom half looking at the likes of Port Vale above us. 

    Cant wait for the season to end & for the summer rebuild to start  😆😆😆😆
  • Did anyone see DH interview? Charlton TV cut out on me again
  • Totally expected result, so knowing that before kick off means, the actual eventually of it, really means very little. So, off to see Peter Kay shortly, and can instantly forget how much, my beloved club has sank into the dross of mid table league one nothingness……

    That was depressing. But what was worst was that Derby fucking fill their stadium. The tannoy announced an attendance number slightly higher than The Valley's capacity. Derby have been shit for ages and have had their own ownership nonsense and they fucking fill their stadium. What do we do? 
    do you even know who Charlton is? Derby have a whole city to call on plus the surrounding areas. They have been a big club in the past. 
    We have been a local London club competing with plenty of bigger clubs. I would be surprised if they didn't have a bigger attendance. When we were in the top league we were always punching above our weight. Lennie, curbs and even seed. 

    Oh and we have been shit for years as well with worse shit going on behind the scenes.
