Defenceless Charlton, the team that guarantees it’s opposition goals galore.0

Enjoyable game as someone who doesn't really care about this competition in general - Its been great run out this evening for the likes of Chin / Laqeretabua who have had been given a taste of First Team Football, especially Josh, who I'm sure will go away wanting more.
Leaburn got some minutes, and got his first goal of the season.
Watson looked promising, hopefully he had to be replaced with nothing more than cramp, as looked to make things happen in Midfield.
Game changed once we had Laqeretabua | Roddy as our Full Backs - Which coincided with Watson going off, as we lost our creative outlet.0 -
That was a penalty at the end though wasn't it?0

Solidgone said:Why are we always resting players but Dobbo is never rested? We should have put out our first 11 defenders to get them to gel as a defence instead of chop changing. This performance was abysmal and I don’t care what cup it is. The players should be playing to win win win and not going for a Sunday afternoon stroll because its a long season or whatever. Absolute disgrace.

Unless we learn to defend I really fear for us this season0

Scored three goals and should easily win with that amount
But we concede four.
The proof points of our defending, season after season, roll on and on...0 -
Showed some good stuff at times. Could easily have won it at the end. Isted a bit suspect for a couple of the goals. Enjoyed the game though. We need a set piece coach and someone to improve the defence as that is our weakness. As for the hated Kirk - thought he played well (but some just want to hate). Roddy grown a bit that's all. Really don't think it's all doom and gloom.3

I'd take a goalless draw at Stevenage now.

Really not bothered about this competition but sad for Jason Pearce as this will probably be his last game as manager.

We've used Elerewe, Ness, Hector, Thomas, Mitchell, Jones, Edun, Asiimwe, Chin, Roddy, Laqeretabua and Backett-Taylor already this season, with at least another 2 defenders yet to play.
I'm sure in our promotion season under Powell we named virtually the same back 4 over and over again1 -
Objectively funny stuff.That back four of Laqeretabua, Ness, Deji and Roddy probably shouldn't be our defence in the league on this showing. A shame to make such a bollocks of things but it was 45 mins for Leaburn and Tedic as well as more minutes for Watson, Taylor and Tyreece. We're not doing Isted any favours by giving him 14,000 different defenders to worry about adapting to every game. He probably doesn't even know half their names. Silly result, silly competition, silly club11

There was one moment where he actually sprinted and it was a surprise. How can a professional actually surprise you by sprinting.The defence were woeful but you can’t tell me he wasn’t abject.
If he was abject, so was Taylor. Everyone was wanking themselves silly over Watson. I thought he looked handy for sure, but really just played some neat passes around.
Kirk played some neat passes around, didnt defend great, didnt really lose the ball much.
He was average as were a lot of them.
Abject? Not imo.2 - Sponsored links:

That was crap, Kirk was particularly crap and it all looks pretty doom and gloom to me.1 -
Leaburn back is the positive. Hope Fraser and Camara are not too far from a return. I am giving it time but not very encouraging performances by Tedic and Taylor who I was optimistic about.0
