    So we’ve been in desperate need of a left back so we sign one stick him in midfield and play our winger who can’t defend at wing back?
    Ridiculous isn’t it.

    This is it isn’t it. Absolute shocker 
  • Addicks FK near the corner of the Oxford area 14'

    For anyone not watching, here's how the goal happened: we dummied have Deji take it short. Isted the lumped it 80 yards down the field aiming at...May. May doesn't come close to winning the header and the defensive header goes to midfield, where it become a 4-v-5. Dobbo and Deji miss tackles, Oxford stroll forward with the back line back off, and it's a good strike.

    Just awful all around. 

    Sorry but I'm Holden Out. 
    We can be a bit sour about the obvious handball but generally v poor defending
  • I think it will be Okay if Isted sticks to long, high balls to our towering Centre Forward.  It’s worked well so far

    Edun can play left back or centre mid
  • What’s the news on Camara’s “minor” foot injury then? Anybody know?

    How on earth can Holden “know his best eleven” when five of his probably preferred players haven’t been available?
    "Minor" Charlton injury at this stage means out until Christmas or beyond.
  • We can still win this.......


    There’s a word for that.
    Blind love

    With the incredibly highly rated Taylor, and Payne, on the bench. Awful. Holden thinks he's far more clever than he is with the lobsided teams that the league has already figured out. 
  • Alarming...


  • Anderson's FK is headed away by the first man. Set-pieces still need to improve. Charlton have the lowest xG from them in League One (and highest xGa as well) 15'
  • Anderson getting beaten there and just letting the Oxford player run beyond him...

    I will never know what he was thinking with that quick goal kick before they scored

    has may won a header all season ? And yet we still aim for him
    MORONS!!

    You can’t even predict that right @ForeverAddickted :-)

    AFKA said so. He's always right. :wink:

    Its all part of the plan….

  • We are totally hopeless at playing it out from the back. We look clueless.

    Anderson is getting worse game by game. Feel for him because he's been thrown in far too early 
    Throw in and LEFT IN. And he's been over exposed and it shows. Taylor and Payne on the bench. 
  • Wigan above us 5 games into the season despite starting on -8
  • nearly 2-0 there - we are piss poor
  • Lord, our defence is absolutely woeful. 

    This could be embarrassing.
  • Endless last ditch tackles here. No control over the game.
  • very painful watch so far.
  • One of the strangest selections I've seen in recent seasons...and that really is saying something! 
    1. 18'

      Post update

      Attempt missed. Rúben Rodrigues (Oxford United) right footed shot from the centre of the box is close, but misses to the right.

  • Oxford keep getting chances. Charlton players look confused about how they're meant to be playing. This is bleak.
