I can't believe I am watching Charlton Athletic losing to fucking Crawley Town at The Valley - not that long ago, this would have been a pre season friendly at their shithole, when they were non league................
Crawley down our left again, Small to Edwards to clear. Godden tries down the touchline but gets blocked, but Ahadme wins a free kick near the LH corner of the box.
These tactics don’t help, so rigid and direct, lacking width, aim nothing more than trying to out battle the opposition.
The tactics are horrible, They don't excuse all of this though. Formations have nothing to do with basic technique or awareness of where your opponents and teammates are. It may be recency bias, but I cannot recall s ever being this bad to watch as we have been this season. This would be bad football by early 90s long ball standards.
We're so bad at reading the next action... AMB is kicking wildly out of play when under pressure and to random patches of pitch where there's no red shirts when not pressured. So frustrating.

Too fucking right it is.
No one gets on the end of it.
