MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic vs Wycombe Wanderers | Saturday 1st Jan 2022

That was crap

Would compare this performance with that of the Plymouth game. Charlton very lethargic, sloppy no creativity 

JJ was talking to Leko so he will be on for Davison. 

Really poor, I know we've had a couple weeks off but there's no intensity at all and Davison is nicking a living, we need a striker and another way of doing things in games like these

Where did Purrington go for their goal, Famewo was overloaded and I couldn’t see Purrington for love nor money. Dobson did his best to keep possession but as soon as he lost out we were in trouble. We can get back into this, but Leko or Burstow need to come on for Davison I’m afraid. He is trying, but having a stinking day at the office.

HT 0-1

That half may have lasted 48 minutes but that seemed longer. It dragged so much I felt I could have watched an Ashes Test match in the same amount of time.

My word, that was dire ... from both sides.

Niggly fouls, poor passing, no movement. Shocking stuff.

I don't like to pick on our players or single anyone out for a major slagging so I won't name them. All I'll say is that they will be very fortunate to be coming out for the second half.

This half-time comment has been brought to you in association with the colour "red" and the number "25".

Feels more like an away, we need get on the front foot a bit more in the 2nd half 

Some mild pressure from us over most of the half which does not lead to a single shot or header on target, then a breakaway and they score. Our first effort on target was in the 40th minute.
Davison is not even as good as those Gateshead forwards last month.
Leko to come on upfront and at least the ball should not keep bouncing back from Davison.

January we need to look at signing a decent back-up striker because it was obvious from the summer Davison was never going to be up to the task. 

Losing Aneke and not replacing him was a blow. 

Firstly, looks like 2 teams that have had too much festive food. Or 1 team that played 3 days ago & are tired and the other who are rusty having not played for 2 weeks. 

However, what it also shows it that you cant go into a season without a proper strikeforce and/or trying to rely on youth.

Not time for told you so's but lets hope Sandgaard has learnt his lesson & some strikers come in this month. As I said earlier, you don't want to be relying on Davison & Burstow for weeks on end.

That was so poor. We are a mid table league side with mid table league one players.

Some of them aren't that good. 

It looks like Josh Davison won a competition to play in this game. Embarrassing.

They have had one chance and put it away, Washington is a key player for us but not prolific, its clear where we lack depth and that's up top. Harsh on Davidson as he is still learning the game but we only have to miss Stockley or Washington in the line up and we look a poorer side.
