Post-match Thread: Charlton Athletic v Accrington Stanley | Tues 19 October 2021

MacG: couple of saves but can't position a wall
Gunter: adequate despite no cover
Lavelle: slow, reads game poorly, positionally suspect, ropey distribution
Famewo: looked like the worst of Naby Sarr with none of the physicality 
Souaré: jointly culpable for one goal
Clare: the invisible man - what was his role? looked distraught when subbed but the biggest surprise was his shirking was tolerated so long
Gilbey: our best by a distance which is faint praise indeed, industrious, passionate with some dodgy decision making, he doesn't deserve to have to carry shirkers and makeweights all around
Morgan: first half was hopeless looked like a little boy, 4 "attempts" to pass, no pressure stationary ball and the outcomes were humiliating - looked a different player 2nd half 
Leko: no balls no passion and little sign of much intelligence, as soon as it doesn't exactly run for him just as he wants his shoulders go and he shuts down, I lost count of the times he had his back to play with no pretence of interest in what was happening let alone what he's paid to do
Stockley: tireless and industrious as ever but like Gilbey his performance is hamstrung by the shirkers and makeweights
B-T: maybe 3 contributions in 70 odd minutes, 
Referee: first free kick from which Pell scored wasn't a foul in basketball let alone football - set the tone for a reprehensible performance of wanton idiocy Accrington had him sussed inside 10 minutes and played him for the mug he is - booked players for minor infringements, disregarded much worse transgessions (Souaré) bellyached constantly about timewasting, holding etc but booked one player after 89 minutes then added time only for 'injury' interruptions.  Officials of his calibre and the douche on the Curbside touchline (yellow flag) are stains on the game undermining its integrity
Trouble is the charlatans in red masquerading as CAFC were so utterly dreadful that Sam Allison and his underling weren't in the top 10 of last night's walk of shame

Washington: he'll be as baffled as anyone how it took 73 minutes for his skill and professionalism to be recognised as valuable, he ran further, faster and harder in his 20 minute cameo than about 7 others added together for the whole game
Davison: same as Washington
DJ: his introduction in injury time to a lost cause was appropriate reflection of his professionalism

Adkins seems not to recognise the scale of our defensive inadequacy and sends out a lineup with zero midfield cover for those desperately poor defenders.  As a consequence those hapless cloggers are simply walked past by the opposition to score at will.
Accrington were not in a false position before that game.  Their recent form was poxy.  Yet they scored 2 facile goals from open play, Pell got the ball in twice from long range free kicks and MacGillivray was much the busier goalie.  All this from a poor team, with a one dimensional approach who shamelessly wasted time all the while they were ahead. Simple effort comfortably outclassed Adkins ragtag mismatched rabble of halfwits, shirkers and makeweights.  Adkins does nothing about any of it for 73 minutes - in short not doing his job properly or at all.
Coleman makes the absolute best from limited resources - Adkins throws random names at a predetermined "shape" and watches its inevitable failure.  Even Nero did something while his Rome burned.
Adkins's only rival for worst Charlton manager in 25 years is Karel Fraeye - Stephen Henderson's sense of déja vue must be horrifying!
