Im staying up in county durham with porkpie and we have just got back from the game.
Yet again we return to the doom and gloom of the live match thread.
Today we were lightweight and made errors that barnsley took full advantage of.
It wasnt a horrific performance.
Jonjo was the highlight, some great incisive passes, a couple of hard tackles and three efforts on goal , only denied by woodwork. Halford looked good at right wing particularly in the second half. Madjid was a liability first half and kept letting the ball bounce in the area, McCarthy improved with Sodje by his side in the second half.
Semedo was comfortable without being exciting.
Thatch had a bad game, lost concentration, made some horrific back passes and lost his head too much.
Varney did bits but didnt have enough support
Iwelumo did Ok, gave away less fouls and won alot in the air.
Gray looked useful when he came on.
Holland looked tired from the outset and was clearly annoyed with his performance when he came off at the end.
Ambrose didnt get into the game.
Wagstaff didnt have much of a chance to get into the game and when he did was bustled off the ball easily, probably seemed worse as Shelvey took to the game like a duck to water.
The fans reaction after the game was mixed, obviously disappointed, as the players were (to say they were lacking in spirit is unfair), however the fans gave the players "what they deserved when they came off", applause, and were applauded in return for their support.

Cheers for that Thommo - seems like a pretty balanced summary to me.0
-
trying to work out if we were shite or not from that summary.0
-
not being funny but the more vocal fans were not in attendance,how anyone could clap them is beyond me,and needs there head testing0
-
nolly do you think we are in danger of relegation next season with big nose in charge?0
-
I've just got home from the match and must have watched a different match to Thommo.
Charlton were rubbish, with the exception of the 2 youngsters & Sodje the rest were not fit to wear a Charlton shirt. None of the forwards seemed to have any co-ordination or communication between them, Halford is a carthorse with a long throw and neither they nor the management on the side seem to really care.
If that is what we have for next season we shall be fighting relegation.
Congratulations to the 425 Addicted who turned up and out sung Barnsley
Cambell Rice was deservedly MoM0 -
Why do people clap when we lay down and die? I don't agree with booing either because it doesn't achieve a great deal, but why clap a pathetic display? It gives the wrong impression that it might be acceptable.0
-
I clap because Barnsley on the day were better than us, we tried, we werent good enough. Not all players gave abject performances. I dont think we laid down and died during the game, certain players heads dropped we conceded poor disappointing goals, some players kept up the fight, they were the ones I clapped. I was really disappointed for Shelvey a great performance and deserved better. I wanted to clap him off for a great debut, he did really well.0
-
Yeah fair play on clapping Shelvey - he sounded like he was good. The rest aren't worthy of being clapped though.
How good was Shelvey then Thommo?0 -
i hope people let them no,win or lose saturday by going straight after the whistle if not before,i would suggest they dont insult us by coming out for a clap,worst bunch of human beings to put a charlton shirt on.all pardews work,steve they will struggle if this palace mug stays,i think he will walk0

Not quite, I have seen worse.
Shelvet was pretty sound and did not try to be too flash, but did the simple things well and almost got a goal, think made one poor pass all game - so a big positive for the future. Poor Wag did not really have a chance came on when all was lost, hard for him to get in the game so lets not make any judgements.
Overall I blame Pardew for todays performance, too many players in positions which they have not been used to this season.0 -

Been in a fair bit last two weeks, colony put the beer up to £3.60 a pint, so won't be going back in there.
It's a lovely little boozer, right tucked away with some half decent ales!0 -
You been to The Lamb yet Stu? Lovely pub that is.0
-
Play another record lads.
I'm an optimist as far as I can't bring myself to be a yid and boo a CAFC XI although I'm starting to get fed up with Pardews shit, Shelvey from what I've been told nd from what I heard was the best player in a Charlton shirt. Good. Sunday is left to stick on a pride performance, as far as I can gather we can't relegate Coventry unless we beat them 50 nil so I truly expect a blood and guts display in front of us peasants who pay the wages.
HOWEVER if next season the silver fox has not learned from some repeated lessons he's had this year we are in the shit and for a squad that has cost a not inconsiderable amount to assemble I will seriously start to get riled0 -
And the homebrew I am cultivating will surpass any Holborn shite you two have been supping, it's the shizz I tell thee0
-
Not that I can remember, might drop in tomorrow for a quick one see what it's like.
Trying to find somewhere decent to go for my leaving drinks on Friday.0 -
Oh you actually did it then Dicko??? Glad you didn't get that out on Wednesday!0
-
Here you go Stu - go on a crawl and see which one of these you like best.
The Lamb
Rugby Tavern
Kings Arms0 -
It won't be fully ready until at least the end of the month maybe longer. If that stuff had come out Wednesday none of us would be capable of speech even now0
-
I did my own home brew once. Shocking stuff it was. Mind you, it was cheap - and obviously I drank it all anyway!!!0
