    Being outplayed. At home. To Mansfield. 
    Who incidentally have lost their last 5 games on the bounce
    It is a longstanding Charlton tradition to provide succour to teams/strikers desperately out of form.

    Genuinely not sure what people expected today?

    so many comments about how shit we are. Were you expecting us to suddenly be passing it round like prime Barcelona? 

    This is a poor team in a terrible run. The fact it’s attritional crap really shouldn’t be a shock? 
    No, but would expect us to do a little bit better against Mansfield Town
    Based on what? 

    Recent matches? 
    Nope, just the fact that we’ve supposedly got a coach who cares and says that he’s trying to move the club forward

    Mansfield promoted from league 2 5 straight defeats ! Out playing us at home. Gets more embarrassing every game

    Obviously they have seen our last two games against teams we should have won against, so they know they have a good chance of winning 
  • Wait for the boos as the half time whistle goes, this is becoming beyond embarrassing now...

    Had to switch stream to Mansfield commentary just as their commentators are rightly slating our style of play and how ineffective it is

    And based on recent performances, you believe that’ll happen?

    We finally have a chance and it's a tame header straight at the keeper. No added time so that's halftime
  • Loud cheers as we finally get in a cross which is headed tamely at the keeper.

    Maybe, as we’ve apparently got players who are championship level or something 
  • And that's HT

    0-0

    Dire

    2 shots on target in a half. Jones will be buzzing with that 
  • Jones header easily saved by the keeper with the last action of a very ordinary half of football, between two poor sides.

    Header on target by us, so we end the half on top? If we ignore the previous 45 minutes.

    Another opening 45 thay passes without us scoring. 

    Still think we'll win this. We usually do better in the second 45..

    If you are the better team on the day and a team beats you by 1-0 or whatever by effort alone..you can accept that, you don't want it but it happens.

    However, when you play with no plan, no effort whilst letting a lesser team outplay you then something needs a drastic change.

    That is no disrespect to Mansfield but our squad is better and we should be doing better full stop.

    That has been coming for about 12 weeks! Regardless of results, the way this team plays is absolutely dire. Jones makes nonsensical statements that are clearly untrue, about the quality of his team. It's only a matter of time before the owners realise. He's about as worthy of his job, as a eunach in a sperm donor centre. 
  • Change this formation for Christ sack. Out played 3 home games in trot. 
    Is this a freudian slip...

    That was so unbelievable poor. There is literally nobody on the bench who can change the style of play to a more positive one 
  • Anderson,Kanu,small and Campbell all showing they are not ready or so lacking in confidence it is sending them backwards.

    The most alarming thing is the puzzled look on the players and staffs faces when hearing the boos. 

    Like do they genuinely believe they're doing a good job as a collective right now?

    Brownie claims we could take this game by the scruff of the neck and go on to win. 
    I'd love him to be right but that would be quite the turnaround.
