    A well coached defense is greater than the sum of its parts. 

    Alright Aristotle...

    Hopefully, if it stays 1-0 until half time, LB can change something

    Does not help having our back four (or three) changing every week
    This is what I was saying, if you keep messing with your your defence you'll struggle.

    It isn't just him though - I always try to work out how we will get a goal. Still working on that though. Maybe Sarr in midfield and Taylor on in second half. If you ask them some questions they may crumble. Trouble is at the moment we are asking them nothing.

    I worry we are getting worse each game
    We'll surely reach the point very soon where that can't happen
    Well, I wouldn't be too sure.

    Pearce gives away a dangerous position free kick again with obvious fouls (shirt pulling) 
  • Second best all over the pitch at the moment. Ledley and Pratley miles off the pace. Expected with Ledley. Less excuses for Pratley.

    Is that when Roger Johnson turns up?

    Pearce's main defensive method seems to be grabbing a handful of shirt so far today.

    You can't sub 11 players. unfortunately.
  • If we are picking Ledley we might as well give Lee and Jacko a run out.

    Shame Dijksteel isn’t playing.  Although he probably would have played out of his skin if he was. 
    Injured, or out of favour, do we know?
    Injured out for a couple of months.
    You can take the boy out of Charlton....

    To me Leadley looks miles off the pace. We can hardly get in their half.

    He knows he’s a yard off the pace against championship strikers that’s why

    Switch Pratley and Deji for me, Deji better at bringing it forward.
