    Maybe, just maybe, its not so much down to the players as the set-up and/or the manager...

    We can’t do anything from free kicks and corners, we can’t score when on top, and we can’t get a shot on target. All seem pretty basic and you’d think the manager and coaches would be able to sort it out.
    What do they even do in training?

    I thought we had a dead ball specialist newly employed  :)
    Imagine how shite our dead balls were before he joined ;)

    Just checking in on the score, as it’s interval time here at Starlight Express, not much a doing by the sounds of it, oh well choo choo.
    Checking in on CL for the score whilst watching a musical about a train locomotive. classic Charlton. 
  • Fuck me, this is poor.

    gilesphy, berry and small bring absolute nothing to this team and the football is dire.
    campbell plays as if he’s reluctant to give Ahadme the ball and we have no directness to our football.

    Sounds like the last few seasons

  • That was a stupid quick free kick. Just invited pressure on us. 
  • HT: Shrewsbury Town 0-0 Charlton Athletic

    That was an enjoyable 45mins

    Well, at least we've not conceded. Smash and grab is fine with me.
  • Since the 10th minute we just haven’t looked a threat, forward balls are aimless or a yard too far and forwards just not getting on the end of anything.. midfield are MIA because we are playing over the top.. don’t think we are troubling them at all right now… need to change something here.

    Half time. Utter garbage. We can be happy with the 0-0 as Shrewsbury looked much better than us. 
    And Chsrlton TV keeps freezing.
  • Berry & Gillesphy been particularly poor. Hard work again from the front two, just not creating anything.

    Need to be much better second half.

    Pinned back for most of the half by a crap Shrewsbury side. Front two feeding off scraps yet again. We need a big improvement because we're offering very little.

    Another first 45 passes without a goal. 6 games....1 goal for us, 0 for the opposition. I know they do half year season tickets but do they do just second half ones ?

    The revolution is cancelled?

    Meet the new boss same as the old boss?

    plus ça change?
  • On top without forcing the keeper into making a save. 
    Since then, it’s been shite. Not helped by a poor ref. 
  • We have reached the stage when I'm questioning the formation. 352 without a 10 just isn't giving us enough goal threat.

    Time to go for a power nap until we bring on Chuks.
  • Well that was a real wake up call.

    On that display there's not a hope in hell of a top 6 finish. In fact we will struggle to make the top half of the table as have no doubts we are being outplayed by a Shrewsbury team who really should be in front.

    We can't keep the ball, it's just a series of hoffing the ball up front and hoping something happens. Which isn't going to happen with Ahadme and Campbell up front.

    Jones has got his work cut out here.

    Has TC been involved at all? I've been half listening and following online and haven't heard his name once. 

    Berry and him off for Godden and someone else please, maybe Anderson, maybe A.Campbell?

    And an awful lot riding on Leaburn’s return and Dixon turning out to be any good. No creativity in this team what so ever. 

    I think that’s a pen, we’ve got away with one there. 
    Are we expecting anything from Dixon this season?
    Dunno, but I’m assuming he’s been signed with the intention he’ll be an option.I hope we might see him on the bench at some point. All our subs are kind of like for like changes, we lack one or two players to bring in and doing something a bit different. 
    I didn’t say I expect it, but we need to hope he’s good enough to make an impact because there is almost zero flair in the team. 
    That’s what Campbell’s supposed to add but the main service he gets is chasing long balls, so Dixon would struggle to offer more.

    I’m sure this midfield could offer more than they’re showing but what chance do they have when we’re so direct - the ball is so often flying above their heads.
