AM Took to Insta about hour ago to say how proud he is of Zemura scoring for Bournemouth today. Appreciate that's really sweet and all that, but come on, have some of these players not got a filter ffs 

Really brave of him to do that after a defeat.

Doesnt mean that he should go home and sit at the wall to think about his performance

But more the fact that a lot of people will be upset and that'll just fuel their displeasure

Maybe it's just me (which wouldn't be unusual tbh), but shouldn't players take defeat really badly, or at least act like they do? I'd expect him to at least acknowledge how bad they were today before congratulating someone who is irrelevant to us at the moment.

Can understand why it would annoy people, we've work hard for the little many earn and like to spend it at the Valley

It almost feels like he doesnt give a shit about the game today (which is why I agree that its a dangerous move as there will be some who'll voice their displeasure on Social Media)... But then its surely better to move on from a bad performance as quickly as possible?

Just take that Alex Gilbey interview this week where he discusses that he let his performances get in his head each week, ultimately making things worse for himself, rather than finding distractions like his daughter now.

Yeah point taken re' mental health. Just think a little bit of tact wouldn't go a miss

He’s not good enough, simple. 

Yet Adkins and Bowyer both see/saw enough in him to persist.

Bowyer never rated his tactical awareness / nous / whatever you want to call it. Fans couldn’t understand that decision because he’s a gifted talent but I think we’re now seeing exactly what LB saw day in day out at Sparrows Lane.

All his reservations were why LB usually stuck him out on a wing where it wouldn’t damage us too much if he got caught out. We’ve kept him around because his technical talent is undeniable. And we’ve been hoping he can learn the rest of the game as he gains experience.

Unfortunately, he’s now at 78 senior appearances and he isn’t getting it. He is just a walking liability in the middle of the pitch. He needs to drop a couple of levels where his mistakes won’t be so often punished, learn the thinking side of the game and maybe he can grow into a role in the EFL later in his career when he’s a bit older.

We’re in our worst footballing period in 90 years 
players like him aren’t out of place in this shit show

Hope you dont think that the mental health comment was a dig mate

Was just one example that suddenly sprang to mind when replying - Agree that the difference is Gilbey chose to do something that didnt leave him in the public eye so didnt have to put up with any extra potential hate

No not in the slightest mate. 👍

I have always thought he had something about him and could kick on, but today he really showed some bad signs.  These clever balls he kept trying to play over the top, the long sprayed passes.  He needs to get the basics right in the first instance.

5 years older and 5 years wiser it seems.

I doubt Morgan does not care. It's a weird assumption that many make that footballers do not take defeats badly.

I won't assume why he chose to message his mate on social media instead of a private message or text, but it's probably an age thing.  

At least he looked for the ball in the second half and didn’t hide.  I think he gets a harder ride than many on here.

I agree with you to an extent, but I do find myself getting frustrated with him when I’m at games, and it seems to be every game. I just don’t see the improvement in his game particularly since he broke into the first team. I really want him to do well but I never come out of game thinking Albie was class today, it’s usually average & this season poor. But no player has been great so far. 

I agree that he’s been poor but so has almost everyone else .  Adkins has set us up to play no football and therefore it’s no wonder that a footballer won’t be playing well

Adkins has publically come out and said we did not play the football we were supposed to today and instead resorted to hoof balls. 

The buck stops with him.  I’m so bored of him already 

Far too slow and can’t tackle, not the main criteria for a central midfielder.

I’d love Albie to do well but I’m worried I don’t have enough years left in me….hurry up Gilbert & Arter

Who is Gilbert ?

How many appearances has Morgan made for Charlton. Been in the first team for 4 years is it 100+ yet? 

78-games now in all competitions

Thanks. Most likely be 100+ end of the season. Out of contract in the summer. Unless we seem huge improvements in key areas, goal scoring, tackling, positioning etc. I would probably be inclined to let him leave on a free. Big season ahead for Morgan.

I’d defy anyone to look good in that team with those tactics 

There was a big moment in the first half when we had a counter attack. Kirk was one on one with the full back and Morgan under hit a pass from 30 yards or so (No one else was in their half, except those two).Any player should be 100% over hitting the pass and giving the full back a torrid time by having him to chase the winger on the turn. Morgan under hit in and they stopped the attack. One of the most frustrating moments from yesterday’s IMO. Alongside, DJ’s miss.
