Post-Match Thread: Charlton Athletic vs Bristol Rovers | Saturday 17th December 2022

Southbank said:

So, the same 2 main problems we have had all season.
1. We have no natural goalscorer, so we have to have 6 efforts to get one goal. Therefore we do not score consistently.
2. We play 'Garnerball' at the back with players who cannot pass the ball or control it properly. So we give goals away.

Not scoring with our chances and giving goals away, all aboard the relegation express.

   Same Shit different Saturday   
   I feel what Southbank has said is very accurate, we don’t have a good striker and we also leak Goals due to stupid defensive errors.
conclusion…….utter Shite.
time to Fuck Off TS & Son 👎👎👎👎

Didn't believe it until now, but we're definitely in a League One relegation battle.

What a time to be alive!!

Alexa... Sum up the result for me today in one picture!!

When did Tony Selby sign for us ? Well we do need to get some in, I suppose.

This is the worst Charlton team in terms of ability I’ve ever seen (only rivalled by the Parkinson x Powell season) but that’s not even the thing that annoys me most about these players. It’s the fact that at the first sign of even a minor inconvenience, they fall apart and forget how to play football. You are full grown men being paid about 10x the average London wage to be in the bottom half of your profession and yet you can’t even stand tall when things go wrong and keep things together. I can’t believe they’re not embarrassed to pick up their wages.

You're right Dazzler, we're definitely missing O'Connell at the back (even if you did post on the wrong thread) - Its depressing though how our squad is suddenly so bloody thin on the ground the moment one, or two players are absent... We showed our lack of balance when Sessegnon was out between Sept / Oct, and showed our potential when everyone was back.

Its difficult because technically we're only allowed a team of 20-players, so any form of injury crisis and a team can be decimated like what we're seeing at the moment - In which case, it makes renewing the contracts of injury hit players like Inniss even more ridiculous

Cost saving by Sandgaard.

Some of us said Inniss needed to be released in the summer but others insisted he was worth keeping because he was cheap and did great work in the community.

Not only that, we kept him on when the owner brought in a manager to play a possession style.

In the end we got what we paid for.

I have never believed we could go down to Division Two … always had at least a modicum of optimism.  

For the first time, I’m not so sure.  

That makes it sound OK.

Division 4

I think we also need a leader on the pitch. It doesn’t look as though there’s anyone geeing players on.

I imagine that there were never 9,000 bums on seats.

I think they counted legs, not bums

7,500 more like.

Some of our fans believe that we have enough about us to perform better. 

We don't 

This is the worst group of players in living memory 

Hayes is the 5th person put in charge by Sandgaard to try and get a tune out of them

Unfortunately the tune is as bad as when Tommy boy tries to strum his guitar. 

Utter shit squad of players 

All down to you Sandgaard 

Just sell the club and FUCK OFF 

This 100% - we’re only 2 or 3 or 6 or 7 players away from being an outfit capable of promotion I keep being told.  We’re not.  As you say, this is the worst group of players in living memory, and if you’re still deluded enough to think that doesn’t include the likes of CBT, Aneke and whoever else we convince ourselves just need better players around them to make a go of it, my personal opinion is, you’re bonkers!

Remember when Aneke came back against Exeter.  The reaction on here was as if the lord Jesus Christ had appeared to lead the souls of the dammed out of the depths of league 1.  12 games later and he can just about give us 20 minutes and his sum contribution is 3 goals and 1 assist in his 12 cameos.  Just one of those goals in the League by the way.

Other things on my mind - does Inniss have a brain?  Serious question when you consider his disciplinary record and continued mistakes.  I think this is something that needs looking into 

I have no doubt in my mind we are the dregs of what has been produced as a result of TS’ incompetence, but these players are a disgrace, and should not be immune from getting pelters.  I couldn’t go today so watched it on the stream.  They were all going over to one another and shaking hands with each other at the end.  There was no shame.  It’s all a quick back slap and hug and watching their body language, you could tell they don’t give a flying ****.

Have people forgotten how bad O'Connell was as well ?. Get rid of Innis , Levell and O'Connoll . None can play with the ball at their feet and that's disgraceful for professional footballers. 

People saw a few okay performances up until he got injured and have conned themselves into believing he may be a decent footballer.  We can’t say for certain.  My gut tells me he’ll be no more remembered in years to come than the other load of guff in the last few years, but it’s too early to say for sure
