Match Thread: Charlton Athletic vs Reading | Saturday 21st October 2023 - 3pm KO

SDAddick

We need a midfield three, we struggle to build through the middle of the pitch and we either go wide or go long and it's not working. Fraser is so crucial to maintaining possession and advancing it down the pitch, Watson has been good but I can't understand why Fraser doesn't come straight back into the team.

The correct Kanu has now actually
scored for Southend

Southend 1-0 Kanu ... is this the right one FA?

CL_Phantom

we seem to be playing the long balls to the wrong wing... another over hit ball for Tedic to chase.

Worst form in the league but we're making them look good 

I wouldn't go so far as to say they look good.

We're gifting them some opportunities but they are too crap to take them.

Yet ...

Meanwhile, back at the Jimmy Seed End ...

A Charlton corner ...

Wigan are the away team

Leuth

Hector showed his class there, we were in trouble 

SDAddick

Really good front foot defending from Hector. Has a clearance that nearly falls for Tedic. Button punches away for a throw.

Then another good foot in from Hector.

Please keep doing this Hec and cut out the mistakes. 

Briston_Addick

Quick thinking from Button as he charges out to double-fist a long ball out for a throw before Teddy could get to it.

Now our free kick just inside the Reading half ... and out for a GK.

0-0 21'

Slowly getting into the game a bit, but we do seem to spend far too much time fannying about in any build up...

   Attempt saved. Corey Blackett-Taylor (Charlton Athletic) right footed shot from the left side of the box is saved in the bottom left corner.

Laddick01

Better from us last 5 or so. 

Lack of any attacking ability in the wingbacks limits us massively.

   Offside, Reading. Harlee Dean tries a through ball, but Sam Smith is caught offside.

Leuth

Ref's given the gk but I reckon Dobson's saved us there 

CL_Phantom

chance Reading, ball over the top finds ovderlapping player and a ball in is volleyed over under Dobson pressure.

Louis Mendez

@LouisMend

Chance for Reading. Knibbs' cross, finds Wing who volleys just over under pressure from Dobson

This is gonna be another 0-1 score line soon unless we wake up and get some ideas going...
