With out a doubt, the most frustrating two half’s of football I’ve endured in many a year!
For the first thirty minutes we controlled the game, but found it difficult to make our dominance count. Unfortunately, it went down from there. Crewe scored against the run of play and then followed it up with an open header a few seconds before the break to take a 2-0 lead in to halftime. The incident that led to the corner could have been a penalty, but as it turns out, Crewe didn’t need it. I though Henderson should have done better for both goals, but he did pull off a save or two and, if anyone should bear the blame, it was our midfield and back line that continuously gifted Crewe possession in dangerous areas.
When we came back out for the second half, we found it tough to get going. Crewe did everything to frustrate us, including capitalising on a truly hapless referee. Substitutions were made, including CBT and Mason Burstow. The young striker made his mark by following up on a ball in the box and nodding it past the Crewe keeper to bring the Addicks back into it.
Unfortunately, an equaliser never came.
Fuck’in ‘elL!!! An equaliser as I type from Elliot Lee with the last kick of the game.
Disallowed by the tubby 99 year old linesman for offside on Leko. FFS. Farcical.
As I was saying, the equaliser never came… or it came, but it was erased from history. And with that, we leave Cheshire with nil points.
Thoroughly frustrating. Absolutely farcical.
Over to you.

We were awful, didn't deserve anything really and i still don't know how Famewo didn't give away a penalty.
Leko rounding off his abysmal performance by practically standing on the keepers toes as the 'equaliser' went in.11 -
Too little too late0
-
Second half reminded me of Accrington at home, Adkins' last game. Chaos with absolutely no structure to the game.
Gutted to be robbed at the end but we lost it after their goals and didn't deserve anything from it overall.1 -
So done with this fucking shit league, with its shit refs - even more done with our crap performances and team!
a team who looked up for it at the start of Jackson’s tenure look like a team in preseason or one that know they’re not fighting for anything!
the decision to play Leko is diabolical - the lad is useless- especially added to the fact burstow can’t get a start despite looking hungry and hashing the ability…
The formation that seemed to win games has gone through the motions and is so ineffective , especially with injuries to key players.
get rid of lee, Morgan, Leko, Henderson & watson and build from the bottom
piss poor6 -
Nah!1

Don’t let the last minute drama distract from how awful we were28

Oh man, just seen the slow motion replay. He really isn't interfering. I know it's harder in real time, but that's so frustrating.

The ball went over the keeper, not where Leko was standing. Ref had best view of that and only gave offside because lino flagged.3
-
We got what we deserved, can be no complaining about shit officiating and being unlucky, for the players to prove they can up the tempo and compete, to putting shit performances in as and when they choose is a disgrace. We couldn’t hit a barn door and shoot so we won’t win games.2
-
Cannot be offside there... the deflection was what brought Leko even vaguely into play... cannot be offside from their touch. Shambles. That said, we were shite to a man.4
-
We've been served up some real dogshit performances this season and that was up there with the worst.0
-
Henderson - out of match practice mistakes.
Clare & Famewo - decided to play hoofball for some reason today.
Gilbey - back to his bowyer form, anonymous.
DJ & Purrington - ineffective and barely touched the ball.
Leko - been really poor for a good month or so.
Washington - missing a Stockley type.
The club - knew we had no back up for Stockley all season, why drag our heals and write the season off? Could of had one lined up for jan 1st, here we are 12 days in and are we even linked to anyone. Shite

Charlton TV backing the lino on this one. Personslly, we was robbed, just as we were stealing a point.2
-
if u don’t concede, u can’t lose, if you can’t score, you can’t win. No points for being the “better team”.5
-
We were terrible. Yes the ref was too but they had at least two good penalty shouts. He was rubbish all round.
We have some awful players. I keep saying it but Elliot Lee does nothing.4 -
The controversial non-goal at the end shouldn't be the talking point but it will be, the fact is we were utter shite yet again in a league game since Jacko got the job permanently0
-
Off side is the right call, but he wouldn't have got there any way. Not the biggest issue of the night by a long way. Crewe are awful.1

Exactly what I thought basic referring really , just compounded what was one teh worse displays of officiating I’ve ever seenJonniesta said:Cannot be offside there... the deflection was what brought Leko even vaguely into play... cannot be offside from their touch.

The keeper didn’t even put up an argument when the ball went in. He put his head in his hands. Then he began to make the argument once the linesman bailed him out. Bet he’s grinning like a Cheshire Cat right now.5
-
disagree with Brownie ... even the goalie didn't argue it was a goal7
-
We can bemoan poor refs and bad luck all we like.
But any league one football team with aspirations of premier League/European football in 5-10 years should be smashing teams like Crewe out of the park!0 -
Crap performance, crap refereeing, crap league.3
-
Only Charlton could have a caretaker spending 2 months tearing up the league and smashing the best teams all over the shop and then not get a sniff of a result once job is given perm.
Mid table league one club at best, unthinkable at worst. Will be another drab transfer window and no doubt another hyped up talked up nonsense window in the summer.
We'll be nearer to non- league than premier league in next 5 years.
Ref and officials were sunday league level today. Crewe are and have been in absolute disarray all season and we've struggled against them.
Get a plan together now and a proper recruitment strategy and execute it in good time so we don't waste another season in this dullard league.
Zzzzzz7 -
Tough one that at the end, if Leko doesn’t stand next to the keeper then he’s not interfering with play. At the same time he doesn’t touch it, I can see why the Lino didn’t give it1
-
We were really really poor, perhaps our worst performance of the season and only just got beat. Crewe are proper naff and won't be in League One next year.
