    Has the feel of a Fleetwood game where we can play all week yet there will be no goals!!

    As Leuth says; the shape is good but there is zero creativity meaning that Taylor and Vetokele are pretty isolated up top

    Going to be an interesting second half as you could say that Bristol Rovers have been hindered by playing into the wind (which we'll now do) yet our back three of Bauer | Bielik | Pearce have been beyond solid today - Not felt worried about a Rovers attack against those three once all game, the problem being Pratley though; if he was an opponent I'd be livid that he isnt on a booking - If Aribo is anyway fit he needs to replace him and so drive us forward a bit with the ball, otherwise its just the neat passing from the Addicks that we've seen against us at the Valley so often that usually results in a Charlton win
    I thought we had been playing into the wind?

    Coventry's form bothers me.
    Can see them making a late run into the play-offs with momentum on their side.
    Think they might have our number

    Didn't Burton Albion beat them at home only a week or so ago?  I’m not worried about Coventry.

    At the point that screenshot was taken, Cullen is onside.
    There's a defender with his foot on the 6 yard line, in line with Cullen.

    We don't know if that was at the actual moment the ball was played, though.

    Is the whole of Cullen being played onside by that Defender; I wouldnt say so going by the image

    As it stands, Coventry will have to make up 12 points in 8 matches to overtake us .... we have to collapse completely and they'll have to win every game.

    Inconclusive. The angle of the pic (from behind) does not confirm your assertions.

    It's judged by where his feet are positioned. 

    The 6 yard line makes it easy to define in this case. Cullen is in line with the defender, so not offside at the moment of the screenshot.

    The key point is at the moment the ball is played, though.

    Attempt missed. Abu Ogogo (Bristol Rovers) right footed shot from outside the box is too high.

    55' The referee has a given a drop-ball for absolutely no reason here. Bizarre. #brfc 0 #cafc 0
