That's our Charlton... Considering our form, we scraped, fought and battled hard for that point. It's a good result. Next game... 3 points. We have the ability, confidence can be reapplied... COYR's
Massively lucky to go in at HT at 0-0. Second half was more even, and we were the better side for the last 15. Kanu is raw, but his workrate and pressing stopped their defenders strolling around with the ball and setting up attacks. And not bringing on Fiorini meant we didn't have a passenger in our side.
As with some of our other away draws this season, it's a good point, but doesn't feel it because of our position in the table.
At this stage, we just need to get as many points on the board as possible. We’re still right in the plop, and although the signings this month can be perceived as moving in the right direction, it’s clear the likes of Ladapo needs more time to get up to speed, and we genuinely won’t know if Bakinson is better than we had for example, time will tell.
I can’t believe we’re having to say this again, but let’s just get this season over and done with and get to 50 points by hook or by crook, and the rebuild starts again.
We may see that the likes of Jones aren’t who we need to build our defence around and therefore the rebuild will take more.
the key is ultimately who gets the job next. All the names were associated with on the betting so far are better than what I thought they would be, and I prefer some over others.
The pressure is on the owners, Methven and Scott. Just because they’ve spent a bit of money means nothing. They still have zero credit in the bank for me
What an unbelievable point! We could, and should have been, 5 or 6 down before we equalised.
Defence for most of the game was shambolic again. Ness and Asiimwe no idea how to play the 352 defence on the right hand side and as someone said above, Asiimwe is a much better player when he is not in the team.
Been a constant supporter of Maynard-Brewer so far but sadly even I now believe he has got to come out of the side. But I have no confidence Isted will be any better which is a worry.
And the new players? Well, it looks like we have managed to sign another unfit player as Gillesphrey went off injured at h-t. And seriously not impressed by Ladapo so far. Is he unfit as well? Hope so otherwise we are in trouble.
And finally, for all those who were glad to see Albie Morgan go, I'm sorry to tell you had a pretty good game. Which rather sums up how hopeless we were for most of the game!
really like Bakinson, plus we looked so much better once Kanu and Watson came on.
L Watson keeps the ball and relieves pressure and always looks to play forward, wins a few free kicks as well - sort of a better Jonny Williams….he has to start
feel for Jones, sounds like he was apologising to fans at the end. The whole back 4/5 are just basically shitting themselves at the moment
Watching their goal, it looked a bit worse initially than it was. Their player did well to block a pass back the AMB. Still definitely down as a Jones error. Yes, Blackpool should have been more than 1 up when we equalised but I thought we looked more likely than them in the final 15 mins. Confidence takes time to regain and this game is part of that process. I think we would have lost that with Appleton in charge.
Whilst he hasn't been perfect I have thought we were being a bit harsh on AMB but this game did him no favours.
Ladapo looks dreadful, Kanu offered a lot more. Watson should've been brought on at half time instead of Jones (easy to say in hindsight but I did think it at the time). Thomas our best defender again. Time for Isted to have a go.
This plus Ness continues to have a poor season and Assimwe is not ready
Would love to see Bakinson and Kanu on together earlier in a game. The energy they bring together with Alfie buzzing about would be such a handful for opposing 6’s and CB’s
It's a great result and a confidence booster but the problems were there to see. The experienced players handle the pressure so much better, AMB, Ness and Asiimwe not so. An experienced centre half is a must, one who is fit maybe part of the job spec, Jones, and Ness need directing throughout the game and AMB doesn't know whether he is on foot or horseback. Talk of Aaron Collins is fine but we need that centre back.

I’d like to see Kanu start and Ladapo come off the bench.
For someone who may be on the point of leaving, by Christ George Dobson got stuck in all over the park today and never gave up. We will undoubtedly miss him if he goes.
Can only hope that the effort he put in today means that he might be staying.

Fully deserved a point second half we were the better team and the one looking likey to win .. yes we rode our luck first half , but we defended for our lives and deserved anything that went our way .. second half much different really took the game to them and created some good chances , Kanu gets his head up and May has a tap in !!
AMB needs to be dropped , Thomas best game in a Charlton shirt , T Watson was very good kept the best winger in league one quite .. Benkinson goes about his job , was everywhere .. final word on Lloyd Jones first touch , just clear the ball , Les Berry style tired to play it like Coventry did at Burton .. but what character he showed , was excellent the rest of the game and was massive in our box .
well done boys , if we had a number 10 like Dembele we would have a team he was excellent hopefully Camara can play that role when fit .
Hector, Leaburn, Aneke, McGrandles, Fraser, Edun, Taylor and Camara all unavailable today. Too many for squad of our size and too many potential game changers.
Ashley Maynard-Brewer is a good keeper but not quite good enough at this point for where we want to be. He’s an old fashioned, broad shouldered and knock-kneed bruiser who I am sure looks great in training where he’s facing shots from static sources, but is too immobile and hesitant in live action and doesn’t marshal the defence well. He’s certainly saved us on many occasions, but I think I’ve seen enough to determine he’s part of the problem.
Agreed but I also lack confidence in Harry Isted. The decision to sell Jojo Woollcott seems unfathomable.
He has only played 1 game for hibs. Guessing he is injured?

He has had an injury, but mainly has been on the bench
Thomas has been a bit of target for a lot of fans whilst playing at full back but over the last 4 games he has been our best defender by a mile and possibly our best player over the last 4 games . Good to see him playing in his correct position

He was away on international duty very recently so I guess he is recovered from injury.
Should have been out of sight in the first half, rode our luck then got done after a bad Jones mistake. Felt we played well after that and could even have nicked it. Blackpool play well as a team, they press with 3 or 4 players and force you into mistakes. They have some good players, I thought Husband and Dembele looked excellent and Albie had a decent game.
Kanu is a great sub to bring on, his aggression and directness is a nightmare for tiring defenders. Ladapo still looks rusty but imho is looking a bit better each game, I think he'll get a goal soon then kick on. Really don't have confidence in AMB. Good to see a manager unafraid to change things up, he made multiple tweaks throughout the game. All in all, a good point against a very good (for this level). Blackpool team.

time for Isted as well please

May’s initial shot is on target, takes 2 deflections and goes in. I think it should be his goal
