Swansea v Charlton - Post Match Views

-
Phillips: virtually faultless
Matthews: mostly decent especially considering the dross on his inside
Lockyer: not close to 2nd division standard, body position is poor, reads the game poorly, lacks strength, fluffed his lines in front of goal - costly in both boxes
Pearce: 2nd division is too quick and too physical for him, lucky to stay on after that ludicrous assault of a challenge, never shirks or hides but on borrowed time at this level
Purrington: same as Matthews
Pratley:: another tireless slice of heroism without whom we'd have been mullered
Morgan: occasional nice touches interspersed with barely credible errors, I like him a lot but he's not ready for this level is he?
Dempsey: very quiet game, took no risks but was bypassed for most of the game
Gallagher: standard quality we've come to expect from our POTS so far
Taylor: a decent half, feeding on scraps with negligible support - needs to be retained by ESI ASAP
Davison: strong and willing but unsurprisingly just off the pace of this level, encouraging display in trying circumstances
Doughty: quick and willing
Referee: yet another match ruining fiasco from the supposed official - how Pearce stayed on only he will know for sure - same goes for the refusal to award a penalty for Sarr being hauled to the ground at the death - ref perfectly positioned for both offenses but he corrupted the game by choosing to misapply the rules, these ludicrous arseholes need to be called out each and every time they make conscious decisions to perpetrate misdemeanours un-for-giv-able
Sarr: probably the worst striking option since Phil Chapple's brief horror show during a similar injury nightmare (c) 1994, none of the tools and not a hint of a clue what's required, barely even nuisance value

Re penalty shouts. Watching at home on Sky and don't think any were penalties if I'm honest.
Purrington. Defender got the ball & hardly touched Purrington. Definitely 100% NOT a pen.
Sarr. 50/50. Maybe 60/40 to us. Yes their player had hold of Sarr, but Sarr also had a piece of him too. You wouldn't want the decision to be given against you. Sarr also went down very easily for a big man.
Handball by their player. Replays inconclusive & there was certainly no intent by their player.

Having seen Sarr up front at QPR & last night then I can comfortably say that he is NOT the answer as a makeshift striker. Nuisance value maybe & a big fella to mark.....but I dont think he's won a header in either game. Great finish at QPR so no problem with a chance falling to him (rather than Pearce or Lockyer say) but as the Phil Chappell episode showed.....just because you are tall doesnt mean you will win the ball in the air.1

He only got 10 mins! And should have had a pen. Looked a nuisance to me6

I thought that Swansea were one of the poorer sides that I have seen at the Valley this season & we have now lost twice to them. The next 3 games are West Brom, Fulham & Preston so things are not looking good as we have now lost 12 out of the last 20 league games.
Against Derby we did not have 1 shot on goal apart from the penalty. I just do not understand all these back passes and sideways, we are not Barcelona playing out from the back and need to be getting the ball into the box more often. We had a free kink inside the Derby half and instead of getting it into the box Solly passed it 30 yards back and within 25 seconds of taking the free kick the ball is in our net for Derbys first goal. Why all this backwards and sidewards stuff when over 90 odd minutes you haven't created 1 shot on goal.
Against QPR free kick in our half last minuite and it goes into the box and we score, we just have to get the ball into more positive areas.3 -

Maybe you didn't notice the fear in them that was clear from the minute he was introduced. Nobody is saying he is a striker, but when you don't have the striking options, he is a valid one. Seeing as he scored at the death against QPR and should have had a pen last night, I can't see how you can say what you have said with any comfort at all!golfaddick said:Having seen Sarr up front at QPR & last night then I can comfortably say that he is NOT the answer as a makeshift striker.

Spot on mutley imo. They worry about him and he opens it up.2

Does anyone think it may be something to do with having a minimal transfer budget (£250K), the smallest in the league?palarsehater said:As much as Roland’s a wanker etc he can’t really be blamed for 15 1st team injuries
Then, having to get in frees and loans of lightweight players with previous injury problems?
Williams, Oztumer etc go into crunching tackles with players a foot taller and a few stone heavier, who is the most likely to come off worse?6 -

anyone his size would be a nuisance even if he were 65 years old .. Sarr isn't that old, just far too often plays as though he is2121 said:He only got 10 mins! And should have had a pen. Looked a nuisance to me

Sarr stayed on his feet for as long as he could the bloke had his whole body... but yeah whatever.golfaddick said:Re penalty shouts. Watching at home on Sky and don't think any were penalties if I'm honest.

The issue for me is on the replay you could see Sarr's shirt being pulled as clear as day as well as the back of the ref who was clearly facing it. Sarr could not be seen pulling the opponents shirt so the ref may have wrongly assumed he was which is not what refs should do.
In terms of Sarr playing up front whilst we have a crisis there, maybe Bowyer could have a good look at him there during the FA Cup match.0 -
Should have had two pens. Yet again var! Lol. Get that var!I can only comment on what i see and in the past few games we’ve looked most dangerous when sarr goes up front or drives forward 😂1
-
The weird thing with Sarr, both times he’s gone up front, he’s barely won a header, which is presumably what he’s chucked up there to do, but he’s moved like a penalty box poacher. He’s taken up good positions within the penalty area and been about the only player moving in anticipation of rebounds or the ball dropping inside the width of the six yard box.4

Like crouch in a way. He was always better with his feet1

he wasnt very good first half but did do better 2nd i think we need better both at rb and lbwmcf123 said:Thought Matthews was excellent last night . If we play the diamond , it’s him at RB with Oshilaja as backup for me0 -
Sorry, in the context of the side on the pitch. Just as Akpo Sodje vs Swindon rated alongside Mendonca heroics at Wembley for stirring the passion.ricky_otto said:

He won a few headers actually, but agree otherwise, he’s a natural goalscorer.Exiled_Addick said:The weird thing with Sarr, both times he’s gone up front, he’s barely won a header, which is presumably what he’s chucked up there to do, but he’s moved like a penalty box poacher.

1 So Charlton's 2nd half performance at Swansea, where we had one shot in the 97th minute may be the best performance you've seen from a Charlton side.harveys_gardener said:

2 Akpo Sodje vs Swindon rates alongside Mendoca's heroics at Wembley, for stirring the passion.
I can't wait for number 3.5 -
It's a kind of desperation gambit and there is nothing wrong with trying it when all else is failing.2121 said:Spot on mutley imo. They worry about him and he opens it up.
I think at the end of games when the winning side is trying to see it out, it does cause them nervousness when a curve ball like Naby is chucked in.
Having said that, I don't agree that bringing him on earlier would necessarily have been wise.
I think there is a bit of psychology at play.
Few weeks ago I bumped into Kevin Davies on Bournemouth station (with Razor Ruddock and another).
If we are going for the last resort option of pumping high balls into the box, maybe we should offer Kevin a short term contract

Covered End you cannot help yourself moaning at me. It is getting boring. I suspect you have never been passionate at a match, merely analytical. Sarr is shit, Leaburn couldn't score in a brothel. 97 minutes to first shot.1

You are quite right. It is definitely a failing of mine that I cannot help myself commenting on ludicrous posts.harveys_gardener said:Covered End you cannot help yourself moaning at me.

It's just regrettable for you, that you post 90% of them.
You truly must be the only person in the world that thinks our 2nd half performance at Swansea was the 2nd best Charlton performance they have ever seen and Akpo Sodje v Swindon rates alongside Mendonca's heroics at Wembley.

Swansea? Context.
While not trying to undermine Dan's attempts to steer people with political issues onto the House of Commoners site, you seem to have an inordinate amount of anti-Islamic posts. Not sure If want to meet you, a fellow Addick in the pub for a drink. My posts are at the worst, PWP, stupid or provocative. Yours are targeted, threatening and slightly sinister often aimed specifically at me.
Number three? See you next Tuesday.0 -
Are you really comparing Mendonca scoring a hat trick at Wembley to Akpo Fucking Sodje against Swindon?harveys_gardener said:

In terms of excitement, yes. Quality no. If we can only appreciate Premiership players, etc what we doing turning up for League 1 and Championship relegation clashes with a depleted side?0

It was Llera v Swindon.
Akpo Sodje v Leeds.1 -
He’s referring to Akpo’s performance playing up front in a team with 9 men. I missed that game so can’t comment, but as great as I’m sure it was getting an equaliser at the time it’s not a game many others will be talking about in years to come.Simonsen said:It was Llera v Swindon.
