Post Match Views Charlton v Nottingham Forest

Am i right in saying that the last 3 games, that old chubby boiler Kettle has been in charge of with CAFC, there has been 5 red cards ?

Hollands and Wagstaff in the 1st division.
The 2 Bolton lads at the valley.
and TBH yesterday.

Henderson- 7 mostly untroubled
Solly- 7 made the best of a bad job
Sarr- 3 tried hard enough but he's not even 3rd division standard, many terrifying blunders
Lennon- 5 better than recently but his youth & inexperience are cruelly exposed, not his fault and definitely one for the future
Fox- 5 not his worst by some margin but he's nowhere near the player that deposed Rhoys Wiggins
Vaz Te- 1 bone idle filth a scandalously half powered lazy selfish non performance, should have been subbed much earlier, if he thinks that's acceptable he can quickly go away
Cousins- 6 clearly benefited from his time off, still can't really control or pass the football but his overall contribution was positive for the first time in recent memory, more please JC
Ba- 2 I suppose it's not his fault he's not good enough for Conference football, I sincerely doubt he'd get into the Dartford team I regularly watch, if Fraeye or anyone else selecting the team think this chump is good enough then they should immediately buy Elliot Bradbrook from Dartford cos he's 10 times the player Ba is ever likely to be (and he's a Charlton fan)
Jackson- 5 whole hearted as ever but his legs are beginning to defy him, was obviously crocked before halftime and should have been replaced, JJ's determination is only what we have come to expect from him but he was a passenger for 20 minutes and it cost us.
Harriott- 6 Hard to believe he's still only 21, definitely benefited from regular football, 2nd half he began to look quite useful. Decision making and passing for an hour was just as hopeless as we're all too used to seeing but for the final quarter of the game he was genuinely valuable, more please Callum
Mak/- 4 took half the game for him to seem to recognise vaguely where he was an what it involved - didn;t look like a footballer of any kind for 45 minutes, got yelled at by countless teammates which is always telling. Made the decisive impact which can never be underestimated - him currently being our attacker in chief perfectly sums up the utter decrepitude of our squad.
Gudmundsson- 3 forgot he was on the field after about 5 minutes, this lazy ponce is so complacent he doesn't even take the chance to exhibit himself in the shop window cos any footballer worth his salt must realise his career would be better served anywhere else than the douchebag's loony experiment, he can get in the same taxi with Vaz Te.
Holmes Dennis 6 A hostage to whatever lunacy was occupying KF's imagination and cannot be blamed for his red, he had to take one for the team, or in this case 2
Williams 8 made an immediate and enormous impact on the team and its performance, I hope and pray he's very nearly fit enough to play most of the games in the next 3 weeks, he is clearly streets ahead of all of the central defenders and midfielders currently available put together

Fraeye 1 he eventually subbed Vaz Te and JJ, far too late sadly but the rest of his contributions were unfathomable. Sending out THD to replace JJ by moving CS into midfield simply defies parody, the look on CS's face was absolutely classic. Moussa would have seemed to be the obvious replacement but he must have committed some heinous slight to remain frozen out in this way, as it turned out Rhys Williams would have been the right call. If any kind of logical appraisal can be applied to KF's role it can only be to accelerate the functional decline of Charlton's current footballing operation because the equally detached/crazy Roly Douchebag has something else entirely up his sleeves.

Happy New Year

Keep smilin'

Good points; Harriot, solly, team spirit with 10 men in second half, cousins , Williams looks promising, Gudmundson is totally our most gifted player. Points; vaz te was not really there at all and made me feel quite angry when he returned for the second half. Thought everyone else tried their best ; some obvious ones are too inconsistent to be safe defensively. When are we going to ever get three points?

Thanks to the booooos and sarcastic cheers that fired up Big Mak to respond and score , appreciate it

65% League One nightmares again
35% We scrape together a few old pros to hang on in the Championship

(3 goals for big Mak so far; 11 by the end of the season

Well its a funny old game as they say. Firstly I have to applaud Harriot for a stirring perfromance and it was nice to see a CAFC player who actually seems to care, same for Solly who was excellent and young Cousins who had his best game for a while. This was an improvement on the Wolves game and we showed some fight, tested the Forest keeper, especially at the end.

Now the bad bit, this demonstrated that Fraye is a complete bell end, the idea of moving Solly into mid-field and putting THD at right back was verging on insanity, I feel for the lad as he was exposed very badly by a decision that even the most basic of coaches would not have made. Add to that JBG was very good and I fear that this was the shop window opening I suspect he will be elsewhere by the end of January.

We are stuck with a coach who is clueless, a CEO that thinks Football fans are customers and an owner who only has interest in the financial spread sheets the situation remains dire. Honestly the best (and I fear only) thing we can do is to get behind the team. Relegation appears to be more likely than ever, we all had this conversation this time last year and then we had 31 points, what happens after that is anyone's guess.

So, the new bloke turns up on Saturday morning, and by afternoon he is telling all the other players what to do.

We would all like that from our new co-workers on their first day wouldn't we folks?

I don't understand why you are critical of Rhys Williams. I thought it was absolutely terriffic, that we had a player out there, who could assume the captain role of organising & motivating the team.

Someone needs to tell the likes of Sarr, Fox and Ba what to do.

We have been crying out for this for years and years, probably since Kinsella left.

Well done Rhys, keep it up mate.
