    He himself didn't play that bad or anything and it's not really his fault as he shouldn't be playing there, but Oshilaja at left wing back just kills any attacking threat down the left hand side from the off. It's a lot to ask of Doughty but he simply has to play there if we don't have a winger there. We've had far worse performances against Millwall, but ultimately it is just more of the same and we sort of play into their hands by not really committing to attack them.

    Unlike most years, ultimately if we beat Reading will get over it pretty quickly but it is just a bit ridiculous that they aren't actually any good and always beat us.

    Hemed just needs any kind of scrappy goal to build his confidence, there is clearly a player there with some of his build up play.

    Bowyer giving it Publically to Bonne and Hemed.
    While I agree, that could bury the pair of them confidence wise, and they're pretty much all we've got!
    They have zero confidence anyway, how can it get any worse?

    Don't even think the goal was Dillon's fault. Wasn't an easy one to take in, he makes the save just unfortunate where it ends up.

    Josh Davison was the last striker to score for Charlton that we have available. Against West Brom of all sides.

    Green the last forward player to score against Preston.

    Have the police confirmed if we're allowed to leave our living rooms yet?
    I am still waiting

    We played well 
    we did not take our changes 
    our Goalkeeper make a mistake.
    we deserved a point and I hope Lyle Taylor watched the game as he could have been a Charlton legend tonight instead of a huge disappointment.
    as always we have still got Lee Bowyer 👍👍👍

    I tee off in a 2 ball at 9am with a Millwall fan.

    Fooking hell, been looking forward to the bar opening for 3 months...

    Feels like someone has just taken a centrepiece shit in the middle of our social distanced table. 
    Hit him on the back of the head as hard as you can with a five iron.
    Then st light to his body. 
    Then dial999 and say he has been struck by lightning. 

    Hopefully this will work.

    put £2.50 on Euromillions lottery tonight - £115m jackpot. To be honest, more surprised that I didn't win that.

    When he watches it back he will know you either hold onto it or push it out for a corner. I love him but he will be disappointed he didn’t do better.

    Never comfortable tonight but credit to MIllwall. Rowett proving he has the nous again, as he did at Birmingham.
     
    We should wish them good luck against Hull, Middlesbrough and Huddersfield and hope they screw up in their push for the play offs.

    After the QPR game I warned that our lack of goal threat would cost us and probably be the reason we go down, tonight seems to have made a lot of people wake up to this. Our only hope is that we can continue to nick the odd goal from set pieces other than that I just cannot see goals coming from anywhere.

    Overall a draw may have been fairer, thought we had better chances first half, them easily the better in the second. They looked a lot freer once Smith went off. Defensively thought they all had a good game the Phillips error aside though it was still a tricky one to deal with. Pratley was excellent, Cullen probably the worst I'd seen. The rest? Nothing of note at all though Hemed was a bit unlucky with his first half effort.

    Trying not to get too worked up about losing to them again as it's just a foregone conclusion but I'm much much more concerned about the bigger picture here.
  • On TV against Millwall. We got what we were always going to get.
    Decent performance really though, we shouldn't forget that. Earlier in the season we always looked like we were about to concede; not today. Matthews, Lockyer, Pearce and Pratley were excellent today though. Lockyer and Pearce in particular looked like they were willing to take every shot square in the face and you felt like they had more creative drive in desire to make something happen than the rest of the team. That's a good base, we just really need our attackers to turn up. Bonne was awful, offered absolutely nothing. Hemed was decent but looks like he doesn't want to have to shoot. Aneke was really disappointing and after a few early runs and nothing balls proceeded to drift out and get in Hemed's way. That's going to be the real problem; one of those three and Green needs to step up and score goals. We can't rely on the midfield for it and we can't hope for set pieces every game. That's a better performance against Millwall than we normally turn up with but unlike in our last three games this time when we couldn't put a team away we were punished. Take the derby aspect out of it, that's our real concern. The defence are playing well but there's not enough goals coming through this team and it needs to change pretty sharpish. This isn't a disaster; Millwall are a play-off bothering team and we weren't really expecting a win there. It's the Birmingham, Reading and Wigan matches we need to show up to
    Stop being so fucking sensible, when I want to punch people  ;)

    Honestly don't think it was easy to do either the direction and pace it came at him. Maybe I need to watch it again, though I don't want to.

    They’ve stationed a horse outside my front door and that’s on as I wasn’t going to leave the house anyway this evening and I can use the horse shit for the garden tomorrow

    Only issue is the big dog hates the horse being outside and is barking so much the neighbours have complained.

    im pretending that one is palace and one scum so I’m ignoring them. I’ll offer them some helpful organic manure for their gardens over the fences tomorrow.

    I hate losing to Millwall, so predictable, but you gotta laugh it’s so blooming obvious what’s going to happen, definitely going to hit the delete button in my header as well as the recorded match on sky, think I’d sooner have my nails pulled out rather than watch that tosh back.

    I know his thing is to be positive, but I'd be surprised if we've had 15 shots on, or even near target in these four games. 

    7 points from four still isn't terrible, considering the games we have. It's just a problem that everyone around us is winning. What's worrying is 2 goals in 4 games, none of them from open play. 
    Well after Saturday let’s see what you have to say then ?
    we have 7 points out of a possible 12 that is not the end of the world and we need 5 points 👍👍👍

    If there are any positives to come out of that it's that hopefully we won't see Oshilaja at left back again and McGeady will be back on the bench.

    Oh I'm with you, I want to throw everything I own out of the bloody window. The fact is though this isn't our major concern. There's five games left and this is our first loss of the restart. There's winnable games in there and games where we could pull off an upset. I can't be bothered to focus too much on this one because there's a lot left to worry about. We're still not in the drop zone, that's the important thing. That's what I'll tell myself anyway

    Quite simply bollocks - I hate this fixture - we didn’t deserve that - nil nil was that match - neither side deserved anything but a point - if I had a cat (not that I would - dog family) it would have been k.....

    I never bet on Charlton games but I hate to think how much I could have won in the last 20 odd years.  So frustrating

    Hemed had a generally good game. He needed more service and more attacking intent from those around him. Put him alongside Aneke ffs Bowyer
    Agree, it needs to be him and Aneke. Both are technically decent and the ball sticks to them. Getting them service is another issue, and probably requires a midfield with some combination of JFC, Cullen, Field, and Morgan. But it wasn't a fluke that he was so dominant with Brighton. There's a player in there. He's not perfect, he's not as sharp as he was back then, but we need to find a way to get the ball to him in the box.

    A left-footed left back would be a good start as well.

    And will people stop taking about Millwall  getting into the play-offs. They are bang average & will lucky to be top 10. No doubt they will lose against the teams down with us.
    If they get promoted, with their small fan base small ground and small revenue they will get absolutely hammered in the prem.  As we would.

    So now we rely on Millwall to do us a favour against Middlesbrough, Hull and Huddesrfield :/
    And I bet they dont win any of them.
