He had no chance with it but he never seems too angry or upset when beaten. More the 'that was always going in' swagger that can irk fans.Leuth said:
Yes, I've been a goalie (very amateur) for almost 30 years until recent possible-retirement. Take it from me, Isted had no chance with that one. He would have had to start diving before the guy hit itTodds_right_hook said:

watching the goal again from the footage by @Braziliance, which was from the other side of the ground, I'm not sure.It went like a rocket but he moved his head and watched it. If he can do that, why not stick out an arm.
as is said, I'm not sure. Any goalkeepers on here with a view?1 -
Watching the sky highlights its impossible to tell with any great certainty but I don't think he saw it until it went past our player, I think it was Jones, who was stood right between the shooter and the keeper about 6 yards out. I don't think any keeper saves that TBH.Todds_right_hook said:

So far this season no goalkeeper performance has affected how many points we get out of a game.
A proper goalkeeper helps sustain a 1-0 lead, or makes a save to stop a draw becoming a defeat.
I can’t remember the last game when a goalkeeper of ours has won us points.3 -
There's a slightly worrying quote from Scott in the FLP about Corey where he says something on the lines of wants him to play like that every week and if he does and goes on to bigger and better things, so be it. Need to make sure if that happens we have someone who can slide in and replace him.YannTheMann said:I'd like to see Corey and Dobbo sign new deals soon, think that would show real intent that we're working on something long term here
Nothing about offering him a new deal.1 -
He kicked the post in anger against Stevenage, if that's what you're looking for.mendonca said:

I think Isted's distribution may be better than AMB's and he dealt with crosses well yesterday. No idea about shot stopping as I haven't really seen him make a save.

That might suggest he's not that good at it. Unless there's been nothing he could possibly lay a glove on in 6 games.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:I think Isted's distribution may be better than AMB's and he dealt with crosses well yesterday.

4 fit forwards in the match squad and 4 4 2 with attacking wide men scoring goals at the Valley is the way to a “fortress!”

Probably the distribution part. Call me old fashioned but I'd rather have someone that can keep the ball out the net.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Kiely springs to mind, now there was a keeper who won us points, not a specific game I grant you but he was phenomenal....how we could do with him at the club as goalkeeper coach.seth plum said:So far this season no goalkeeper performance has affected how many points we get out of a game.

4 league games under 3 different managers. 2 wins, a draw and a defeat. Not sure you can blame the Oxford defeat on him. We are actually conceding less league goals with him in the team.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Cause, effect or coincidence?
In that time we have used 3 right backs, 5 different center backs, and 3 left backs.
We can't keep chopping amd changing the keeper every time we let a goal in, I would give him another 5 or 6 games.

Presumably Leaburn on the right was seen as a better support/shield to Awankwah than Tyreece.mattinfinland said:Regarding Chucks it's not a surprise he's only lasting twenty, it's his second minutes in around 10 months.
Love AM passion.
People saying about MA playing players out of position or system. MA seems a different level to DH tactically. Maybe he has us set up a certain way to nullify the opposition. He can adjust the system accordingly too. Not going to criticise anyone after a 3-1 win against a in form Wycombe side1 -

I can certainly remember Dillon Phillips making a difference.eastterrace6168 said:

There have probably been others since Kiley, but such a thing hasn’t seemed to have happened for ages.2 -

The result and performance: great 3 points and we deserved the win although I thought 3-1 flattered us a bit.
The goals: two extremely well worked goals made by TC and Tennai Watson and a brilliant solo effort from Corey.
The manager: Can't argue with the results so far and I like the way he seems able to shake things up and use the bench to influence the game. He seems pretty shrewd.
The keeper: I really can't see why Isted is being preferred to AMB. He didn't have a lot to do yesterday but he doesn't inspire confidence with his positioning, footwork, distribution.
The defence - much more solid. Jones is settling in now and is forging a decent partnership with Hec. I've not been a fan of Tyrell Thomas but he was extremely good yesterday, in my view our best player on the day. Abankwah looked what he is, a raw, high potential talent filling in out of position. Tennai Watson looked very good and added an attacking threat down the right.
The midfield - we badly miss Scott Fraser.
The attack - really good to suddenly have so many options. Would still like to see two up top. Alfie is wasted in an attacking midfield role.
The traffic - fuck off closing the Blackwall Tunnel you bastards. Gridlocked is much of the surrounding area.2 -
I think Isted had a very decent game and caught the ball a lot to keep us out of trouble. Reacted well the whole game and distributed the ball well.Todds_right_hook said:

Got to remember with shots like that one, the player knows he's doing it a second before and Isted roughly needs a second to process what's happening. You could argue be could have had an idea the player was doing it, but with that many players and options around there's too many possibilities. I don't think any keeper in the world saves that shot in those circumstances. It was a proper rocket and better keepers have conceded tamer shots from that range..
I'd stick with him in net as both the last two goals conceded have been very tricky and he's been fairly confident otherwise.4 -
Used to like Wycombe but over the last couple of years they've become a typical bullying side, but they go down like they've stepped on an IED every time a player touches them.
Dirty c***s. Glad we smashed em.

He had a cracking barnet that lad, the confidence to pull off a mullet. They were a fun bunch to talk to tbf, off camera had a great chat with a few of them. It's really good to hear about teams I haven't a clue about from their fans and hear their views on our players.Todds_right_hook said:
I'm a you tube star. I'm walking down floyd road when you are interviewing mullet haired Wycombe fansBraziliance said:ladies and gents, it's up.
Absolutely buzzing with that result, short & sweet; Appleton subs made a difference, CBT is the best winger in this league, Tennai Watson looked rapid, Wycombe couldn't cope with us on the wings (cheers Corey) and on a game that could have swung either way, we took the lead and didn't look back.
COME ON YOU ADDICKS!!!

fenaddick said:I think Appleton has instilled some tactical belief in the players. As others have said, when we conceded before our heads went down and things fell apart. With the benefit of 2 games under a different manager, it feels like the team believe more in the tactics and are being shown patterns of play that they know will work. Weirdly I think Appleton as head coach to do the tactics and Holden as assistant to help with the mentality would have been a great combo
Think I prefer Appleton on his own. What mentality would Holden help with? We were collapse merchants under Holden.2 -
Over 100+ minutes Wycombe had two shots on target: The wonder strike and Thomas block( Isted was in a good position and would've saved).
So Charlton critics. Don't you think that out of possession, we did well in achieving that ? The answer is yes if you're still hangover.
Potential 16 man game over the marathon game time now and the 11 that plays the last 30 minutes ( including Added time) is as important as the starting 11.
Maybe just new manager bounce, but having CBT, Leaburn, and the workaholic May available to try to blend as well as Chuks, Tedic, Campbells, means we have options on the bench plus young Kanu when Aneke isn't fit ! Fraser could've a mega role to play in linking up our attacking play 🤞
Other than Nobby ice hockey coach *Vinegar or Karel basket man Fraeye, I can't think of a poorer reaction to a new head coach than Michael Appleton.
I continue to hope he has luck to go with coaching ability because he will need it.
* Nobby Vinegar didn't get the job because even Katrien Meire said there will be a riot if he does. I believe this was the truth !

Thanks for posting that. Much better than the sub 2 mins we get from Sky, with lots more chances for both sides. Very balanced.Braziliance said:ladies and gents, it's up.

Couldn't be there yesterday as I was taking my daughter to Southampton as she starts Uni next week. Kept up to date on the way back via Talksport and Golfie Jnr WhatsApp-ing me when goals went in....but as I was driving I couldn't read the texts so was in agony at the end not knowing whether the last "ping" was 3-1 or 2-2 !!!
Table looking better than it did 2 weeks ago but still lots to do if we are going to at least challenge the top 6.7 -
…a further worry is that Dobbo is now only 1 booking away from suspension, which he is bound to collect during the next match. Who will take his place?0
-
What impressed me about Alfie May yesterday was if one thing wasn’t working he was prepared to run and work to make something else happen.
He doesn’t hang around whinging about lack of service but always seeks to make a difference.
Looking at all the games we have played so far I would say that May, Dobson, CBT, and Thomas have been our best players, but there are others coming up fast on the rails.16
