But there's blooding youngsters or throwing them in due to complete desperation.3 -

Glad he's giving our youngsters that opportunity to play and drift away.5 -
Go on then, what would you have said in the post match press conference?Southbank said:

Adkins was right there was some good exciting stuff played tonight.Unfortunately, not by anyone in red.6

As it stands, we are going to be very reliant on our defence and keeping a player like Innis fit (no track record of that happening). We have lost a lot of goals and have very few players with any track record of scoring a decent number for their position.
A simple exercise is to look at last season. We scored 70 goals and missed out. If we had defended better through the season, 60 might have been enough. Now look at our squad and honestly attribute the amount of goals they can be expected to get (using their track records). I think you will be well short of 60.
We have three weeks to save our season. Which with some bad luck with injuries could even be a disaster.3 -
He’s only played two games! Give the lad a chanceMuttleyCAFC said:I think Dobson is a good signing but Clare has to be a squad player. All he offers is energy.16 -
Fair enough to not pick on the kids in public. But if you were there you will know it was truly dreadful with virtually no redeeming features. That is what is really worrying.ForeverAddickted said:

Roddy getting a start in a competitive match is deeply concerning.13

First half I thought we looked okay. Albie was getting forward a lot, Ghandour looked lively and Watson gave us a bit of composure in midfield.
Second half was very poor and we looked detached and disjointed all over the pitch seemingly without a plan as to how to break them down. Clare was much better against Wednesday I thought.
I know we're going to bring a few more bodies in but I have suspicions that we'll end up using some of these academy players a lot more than we should be and that will impact results.
Aside from Ghandour - I thought Deji looked very good, Clayden has good technical ability but not much end product and Roddy shouldn't really be anywhere near first team football at the moment. I also worry about using Davison, we need another striker ahead of him in the pecking order imo.

I don’t think NA would be out of line for saying something along the lines of ‘cup games are usually a good opportunity to play the fringe and squad players. Our youngsters gave it their all but it’s obvious we need to strengthen in several areas.’FishCostaFortune said:

The front 3 aren't good enough to start, the likes of Clayden and Ghandour might have a role as a final 15 minute sub to throw on some pace against tiring defenders, but that's very different from playing from the start
Clayden had 4 games on loan at 6th tier Dulwich last season, while just over a year ago Ghandour was playing in the 8th tier, both need regular games at NL level really3 -
We’ve had a manager for a few years that is too honest in post match comments about players performances. Sometimes he would have been wiser to keep it in house a bit.
Weve now a manager that is quite clearly going to play up individuals publicly. It’s not the biggest crime, and we’ve got to learn not to read too much into what he says in this regard. But I hope it’s a public face and he’s got it in him to be more honest when in house.23 -
Just checked back. Seriously did Wimbledon break the substitute rule?
I thought four was a bit excessive at the time but assumed it was allowed and they were running down the clock, which they did brilliantly second half.
Be a laugh if they broke the rules and got chucked out.1 -
That this shows we are a long way from being able to compete in this division, but dressed up so I do not get sacked tomorrow.FishCostaFortune said:

No it's been cleared up that they were permitted to use 4 given a late concussion.seth plum said:Just checked back. Seriously did Wimbledon break the substitute rule?

Is he a goal scorer? No. Does he have great control or passing range? No. Does he have energy? yes. So if our other midfielders make up for what he doesn't have, great, you can make a case for him starting. But they don't. But you can make the case because we don't have an alternative, which is why I am saying he should be a squad player.0

After all the the turmoil of the last 18 months I’m glad to see life has returned to normal and I could see Charlton play dreadfully and get knocked out of the cup early doors.Not sure I can give any highlights other than there were no injuries. The squad is at least 7 players light and 5 of those need to be very decent.1

He didn't win a single header. Few of us commented on that towards the end. Doesn't even get near the ballScoham said:5 -
Great confidence builder for the players who have to go out and play this weekend that.Southbank said:

Maybe not the right thread, but where is the young Algerian lad we have? Wassim? Is he injured?2

It worked for Jordan Cousins in the Championship. Does rely on creativity and goals coming from elsewhere though as you say.MuttleyCAFC said:Is he a goal scorer?

The scary thing is that these aren't even the youngsters.
They are the players just behind the first 11. We have no-one else.8 -
I thought it wasn’t a late concussion. It was in the 75th min, they made 2 subs after that.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:

Otherwise wouldn’t teams be claiming concussion subs as their original 3 to get an extra one anyway?1 -
I don't blame Adkins for supporting the younger players in public. It's not their fault that they are being thrown into matches like this, because we have no other alternatives.0

No matter what Games we are in
its not Rocket Science
no strikers no Goals no Goals no wins no wins no fucking promotion ...simple.
yes we enjoyed the Rock N Roll bullocks but we need some new fresh strikers 👌👌👌👌1 -
