Addicks have edged this without creating *much* in the way of clearcut chances. CBT off the bar, Fraser edge of the area the best ones. Some good moments without getting shots off.
Carlisle mainly reduced to long rangers other than the Hector mistake
Good news: Alfie May has changed back to the gold boots at halftime. Absolutely obscene to change your boots (started the game with red) while you're on a scoring run. Glad he's seen sense.
A very decent first half. Carlisle’s game plan is pretty clear - sit deep and look to spring us.They are almost treating it like a cup tie.
Some poor set plays from Fraser and Carlisle’s right back must have a headache from heading away Hector’s under hit long passes to Corey.
Miles is struggling to hold the ball up front but if we can get the ball into his feet, he can hurt them. As ever, the first goal will be vital but if we continue to play like we have been, I think the game will open up and more space will appear.
Expect to get pelters for this but Mile's is not a great player. Certainly no good with his back to goal & for his height he wins very few headers. He is good with the ball at his feet facing the goal.
Should play him & May as a front 2 with CBT & T Campbell on the wings.

Now we're not playing so much hopeless long ball, it's harder for him to stand out.
He's young and will learn to try to do other bits better.

He's probably better out wide & May in the middle.

Kirk not so much.
I think they will stay there
I did laugh at the allusion in @Jayajosh's original post (though we want to avoid both Patroclus' and Hector's fate).
Post update
Offside, Charlton Athletic. Tayo Edun tries a through ball, but Corey Blackett-Taylor is caught offside.
