    ”mixed emotions. The game is crazy. You’re high you’re low.”
    ”opportunity at the end. Good save from keeper. Disappointed as it was a big opportunity to win the game”
    ”draw was probably fair”
    ”Conor is our penalty taker. Ronnie has taken them in past. He took the penalty but it was a good save. He normally goes top corner”

    ”I’d trust him to take the next one too. I’m not blaming him, it was a great save”
    ”A lot of positives. We looked solid”

    ”Overall, it was a good solid away performance”
    ”This is going to be decisive time next three games. It will decide what’s going to happen.”
    Spoke well after the game!!

    Awful match, absolutely awful. League One football at its worst. We're crap going forward, completely uninspiring.

    Given a chance to score late on, and our random, Danish, marquee signing lays it on a plate for the keeper. 

    It's not bad luck, sick of people saying it is, we are just shit.
    Shit owner, shit manager, shit players... Go support Man City where it’s easy 
    Yes mate, that's exactly what I'm saying. CTID!

    Schwartz getting slated week in week out is getting silly.
    Why? Happened to Bogle. What has Schwartz done that Bogle didn’t?
  • I'm far from Bowyer's greatest fan but credit where credit is due, that was a much better interview and good to see him supportive of Schwartz (at least in public)
    Would love to see him help his confidence by starting him Tuesday
  • Good performance I thought. Played against a good side who are in good form. Miles better than showing against Blackpool and Burton.

    Pleased with the point and the clean sheet as shows that we won’t finish the season getting humiliated each week I thought could happen last week.

    Very gutted as that win would be huge for Charlton.

    If Schwartz had scored it would have ruined a few people’s weekends on here especially those from Croydon, so fair point from a meh game
    Weird dig at me? Just @ me if so, own it.
    I’ll go and edit it just for you
    Yeah, really wanted us to lose.

    What a dreadful game. Nearly unwatchable the quality was so low. Then, out of no where, you think we’ve finally got the change of luck we’ve been craving - a soft penalty in a bit of a 6 pointer vs another team, claiming at least, to be chasing a playoff spot. I wasn’t confident in Ronnie because lets be honest he hasn’t given any reason to be, but he was a logical a choice to take it as any. Wasn’t a terrible penalty but he’s gone for power down the middle but not found the very middle. Do that and the keeper’s got a chance, even more so if you don’t keep it low or go high. Feel for him. 

    Extremely frustrating. It feels like a pivotal moment that could’ve really changed our fortunes. We didn’t deserve to win but we needed it and you have to grab chances like that. Imagine the difference in atmosphere in the dressing room, in Ronnie’s morale. Gutted.

    Pretty boring game, absolutely no spark in midfield! 

    Whilst Watson supports the defence well, he’s just a long ball/whack it out merchant- doesn’t breed any positivity football wise.

    have to have shinnie playing, with both millar and Washington on top form.

    Realistically it’s not going to happen this season, but feel like a little run could see us leeching into the play offs! 

    A win, and were on 50 points- would have looked good.

    really feel for Schwartz though, it just won’t fall for him- we don’t play the football he needs to poach and score, but equally when he gets the chance , the pressure is unbearable  on him (can’t think bowyer helps either).... 

    The fella gets, at max, 10 minutes a week and we expect him to score for fun - never going to happen!!!

    fingers crossed we look at the positives, and go again next week - play to our strengths , and

    Bogle's playing style was advertised as being similar to Aneke. 

    Schwartz has always been an off the defenders shoulder player. No one has tried to paint him differently.

    Bit more of a spring in his step for sure. Nice to hear him talking like that again.

    Got to agree that looked like a draw all day long, except in the last few seconds before the last second, when indeed it was a draw. Why am I not doing the commentary?

    Admin can you block my account for a few weeks? 

    Sick of the wrist slitting negativity on here and know I don't have the willpower to stay away.

    ---------

    Regards the game, it's a point and 2nd clean sheet in a row. Positive steps.

    The application and effort has been there in the past 2 games, but a turgid performance in terms of talent and quality on show.  That’s just where we’re at. 

    A couple of clean sheets now, and we certainly look a lot more organized over the last 2 games, but this is a limited squad.

    Y-a-w-n! What a dreary and boring team we are: misplaced passes, errors of control, wrong decisions in possession. Not a flicker of invention or inspiration anywhere on the pitch. The standard of crosses and shots by most teams in this division is jaw-droppingly abysmal.

    Amos looked shaky and was saved by the woodwork; Pearce and Famewo almost signed a suicide pact; central midfield was vapid, as usual. Up front, Aneke was anonymous apart from another flailing elbow; Washington made no impression whatsoever; and in having his penalty saved, Schwartz proved he is the biggest flop since Ajose.

    Gillingham are just one point behind us. This is the poorest Charlton side in living memory.

    It was a pretty good penalty, hard ,but a bit too low, keeper saved but was very lucky it just hit his wrist a flew over the bar, could have gone in and we would all be thinking great, so there you go.
    One things for sure, if it had been at the other end we all know the result don't we, so we come away with a point, it's one gained i feel, and we go onto Northampton Tuesday in the first of 3 home games, so let's just win them ffs, get something right at what we used to call Fortress Valley.

    Agree.

    Great defensive performance again, back to back clean sheets for the first time since October.

    The focus should not be on their keepers great save.

    What do you mean by that? What type of striker they are has absolutely nothing to do with my original point - but in a way backs it up. 

    The fact of the matter is we had two under performing strikers yet some of the abuse aimed at one, whilst the quickness to defend the others by fans was and is disproportionate.

    We're not getting promoted this season, there's just not enough quality or character about this team. However, we have improved defensively of late and today could prove to be a good point if we can turn around our home form.

    Moved to a new country without his family, been barely played by his manager, playing in a team that isn't suitable for his play style.

    At least we went attacking with the 3 subs rather than try to hold on to the point.

    Agree with the thinking but we really need to get a settled team/formation/style
