I wonder if he's maybe too close with the players.ct_addick said:I know he is a legend but I would question some of JJs decisions tonite….Leko and Lee should have come off0 -
Haven't even picked up a point in the leauge since we heard of his sons appointment (joking of course, sort of)charltonbob said:
Well I think that was just the nonsense of a new owner who really doesn't seem to have a clue football wise. Tell me again what qualifications his son has to be involved in a professional football club. In 5-10 years we'll probably still be in this league.carly burn said: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!1 -
The bog standard officiating simply masked our continuing incompetence in the final third and a couple of defensive howlers.
We started the game streets ahead of them in terms of quality but our inability to make it count cost us. Again.
Big decisions for Jacko now.
(I wonder what the first hurdle is on his contract?)0 -
Neither will Charlton if they carrying on playing like they did tonight.Callumcafc said: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.0 -
No I was being a bit flippant, he did ok in a particularly bad display, so I think it’s hard to really judge.MuttleyCAFC said:No I wouldn't. It was just I was raging when he came on and he actually had an impact.0 -
Well they areCafc43v3r said:
The blame for that lays firmly at the door of 1 or 2 individuals, the rest are sheep. I got stick for saying this in September when everything was Adkins fault. Robinson jumped, Bowyer jumped, Adkins sacked. In reality all 3 should have been sacked after good spells, purely because the players downed tools.Chunes said:I hope the players do not escape the blame again. How many managers do they have to be completely shite under. They turn up when they feel like it and down tools when they don't. This is the third abject away performance in a row. This team should have more than enough to beat Crewe, one of the worst sides in the division, and yet they could easily have scored four against us. A draw would've been an injustice.
The core of this squad is absolutely rotten, the blame lies squarely with them.
I did think they wouldn't do it to Jackson because he is their man.0 -
This season is so utterly woeful it can be summed up by the fact I have just cashed out my top half of LEAGUE ONE bet because I don't believe we can actually manage it. Had thought about doing it Monday, the decision to delay cost me.
And that was undoubtedly our worst game so far against a really really poor Crewe team. Burstow, Morgan and to an extent Dobson aside every player of ours was dreadful.
We have changed owners, we have changed managers, we have changed players. We have not changed Director of Football. I am starting to wonder if we should.0 -
Please get Brownie off the TV0

Looked like the only player capable of creating a chance.MuttleyCAFC said:At least Morgan did well. I was fuming when he came on but he did ok.1 -
I mean looking at Crewe’s team , a mixture young Charlie Kirk like kids and journey men and we managed to make them look good0

Agreed mate. I watched it a few times and changed my mind.paulfox said:
Davo, we wasn’t robbed in the slightest. I’m so disappointed to say that aswell.Davo55 said:Robbed at the end by the final poor decision in a truly abject refereeing performance. But truth be told we didn’t deserve anything from that. Initially frustrated by Crewe, then bullied out of it, then outplayed. I don’t even think we can say they dragged us down to their level - we’re already there. That was a proper League Two Charlton performance in a proper League Two quality game. We were pitiful.How the hell Leko stayed on the pitch after that flurry of substitutions I just don’t know. He was shockingly bad both in his initial striking role and then as a wing back. I’ve never been a fan of his and I genuinely struggle to see the quality that others perceive. But he wasn’t alone tonight. Henderson, Famewo, Gilbey and Lee were all very poor. Arguably Mason Burstow is the only player to come out with any credit.Regardless of what we do in the transfer window the play offs must surely be beyond us now. There’s a lot of tough decisions that need to be taken and a lot of hard work to do to get us anywhere near ready to challenge next season.1 -

Clearly offside and if it was against us not a single fan would say it was the wrong decision.7

I thought Dagenham 2011 was the nadir of being a Charlton fan, but this feels on a par. When will things actually get better for us and we have more than 1 fleeting season of success surrounded by years of shite1

Look on the bright side - it frees up the May Bank Holiday6

Great to see Burstow get his first in the league. Other than that shambles of a game. Need a forward to come in before the transfer window closes.

You did. And he's bringing in a bit of memorabilia to sell as well.Callumcafc said:Did I hear that right? Steve Jones on Charlton TV at the weekend?2 -
Lets be real, if you're a good team and performing well you can get past bad refereeing and win games. We aren't capable of that Im afraid.2
-
Well Tommy, old son there you go.... NOW GET YOUR CHEQUE BOOK OUT!!!2
-
The goalie tried to save it and wasn't complaining that Leko was in his way until the ref's assistant's flag. That means it should have been a goal but maybe that would have papered over cracks which need sorting out. We are too easy, even for shit defenders, to defend against and have been for quite a few games.4
-
Washy missed a key one on one to make it two all.
Lee had 2 overhead kick attempts. Flicked a header out the box. Couldnt get to an open goal from an excellent cross and sidefooted wide from 16 yards. Not a single free kick or corner hit our player. I like him but we need to highlight facts.
Leko ran the ball out of play multiple times.
DJ is not showing any attacking threat going into the box. He's looking more limited by the week.
Gilbs - Will just be repeating the same from last few games.
All the above really needed to contribute today in the final 3rd but failed miserably to show any leadership.5 -
I know it sounds ridiculous to even suggest it but given our powderpuff attack I'd be tempted to put young Kanu on the bench on Saturday and bring him on to provide a goal threat. So young, very little experience, raw as hell - but the kid knows how to finish.9
