We are toothless.Amos and Pratley keeping us in it.If we go behind, might as well switch it off.0
-
I thought midfield would be our strongest part but we're overrun there.0
-
Terrible. Don’t even look like having a shot on target. If there was a crowd they would have been booed of for that showing.0
-
So far this season it almost feels as though we're trying to find a formation that suits Doughty rather than the whole team2
-
Totally agree and I really wanted to see Oz play more. He's been busy but he is so poor. He panics in the final third and his decision making is awful.Exiled_Addick said:Just don’t understand how Otzumer is seen to be doing enough to get starts but Williams isn’t. Bloke’s had one good half in a Charlton shirt a year ago. Done absolutely chuff all since.2 -
We look a very very poor side even at this level2
-
Bad manager then...?Chunes said:LB usually starts the game with the wrong formation and is forced to change it. This time he's started with the right formation, and changed it to the wrong one.1 -
Made it to half time phew
Missing Gilbey in this game, our current strategy of punting high balls up towards a lone striker isn't working2 -
Does make we wonder if, even assuming we make some signings we will have enough squad depth for a promotion challenge....it's certainly a big ask and we might need to be very patient.0
-
That wasn't very good.0

That was pretty pony. The only positive is that we aren't losing.
Midfield is lightweight and we've offered nothing up front. Oztumer really disappointing for me. Not really sure what he brings to the team. It's certainly not height!1 -
Glad our bench is strong because we need them to change the game. I would kill to come away with a point1
-
Until the formation change I actually thought we looked okay. I liked Purrington picking the ball up in the CB position, and our movement in midfield was decent and we at least looked like we were competing without making any chances.
Looked absolutely woeful since Bowyer changed it to a 4-4-2. Very lucky to go in 0-0.4 -
struggling, haven't held the ball, too much coming back off Oztumer. Doughty not in the game.0
-
Need Aneke on as soon as possible. Not a single ball forward has been held up. Otzumer giving it away every time he gets it. 3-5-2 was at least somewhat solid and we were dominating possession. Shape change has opened us defensively with no discernible benefit in attack.3
-
It’s not good viewing.0
-
Ref is our best player so far.
Credit to Amos, great save0 -
Thank fuck for the week off, we need a few more in and then to figure out our best 11 pretty sharpish.1
-
Bowyer giving them a blasting at the moment hopefully,
def time for the Maddison show second half0 -
Vennings has improved since last season, Oshilaja isn't so bad at right back and good save Amos. That's all I got.

They're certainly not the same team that came to the Valley last year and absolutely destroyed us in the first half that game0 -
Really poor. You have to begin to wonder about Bowyer's tactics. Does he encourage the endless passing back and then hoof balls forward?0
-
according to their fans that was the best half of football they've played so far this season.0
-
Sadly just as I expected, except Sunderland should already be out of sight. There is so little real quality in this team. Clear that Maddison is exactly the kind of penetrating midfielder we are lacking, fingers crossed. We also need a proper winger, 2 central defenders and 2 good strikers, tall order in 2 weeks. At least Amos looked decent today or we would need a goalie as well.1
-
Not at all impressed with that half.
And don't understand why LB changed the formation half way through it. We have gone from looking comfortable at the back to completely open.
Hope the Amos knockers will now realise he is a good keeper who will not let us down this season.
Personally, I'd bring Aneke on now even if he can only play 30 mins. Desperately need support up front for Washington.2 -
I don’t understand what our game plan is. We must work on phases of play etc during the week, so our instructions can’t be ‘boot it’.
Dreadful.1 -
Started brightly, some good passing moves.....then absolute tosh!!0
-
Glad we got in at 0-0 but I don’t expect Sunderland to continue to waste good opportunities.0
-
Piss poor. Passing far too inaccurate. Lucky not to be 2 or 3 down. Surely we should be doing better than this, even allowing for the clear need to bring in better quality.0
-
Hope Bowyer makes changes now. Waiting for 15 or 25 minutes would be a disaster.1
