MATCH THREAD : Charlton Athletic Vs Bristol Rovers : Tuesday 15th August 2023 KO 19:45

Frustrating half, we look like we’ve the potential to be a good team but just so toothless in the final third. I honestly don’t know how we change this. Just have to keep the pressure on and hope something happens. 

Camara, Edun and CBT have linked well down the left. With a more physical presence in the box we might have caused havoc. 

Started really well and last 15 was slow, but can't press for 45 minutes. 

Payne biggest disappointment for me. Surely he knows he has to release the ball much earlier. 

Played well, some very good football at times, but, so frustrating as it all just seems to break down at that decisive moment. 

Dobson, Edun and CBT the stand outs so far.

Rovers have done alright and break well, their wide boys quite rapid, but that final bit of quality is lacking for them.

At a time when open necked shirts are popular for office workers, There’s a lot of ties in that picture 

I might be oversimplifying things but stick Leaburn up there with May and it’s a totally different viewpoint for this team.

Yeah would happily take their right winger

Curbs appraisal. "If we score, we go on to win. If they score it will be very hard for us to get back into it."

And if we lose, it'll be another Charlton legend wheeled out Friday telling us to "BACK THE BOYS"

Curbs:"We haven't got an attacking threat. Maybe bring on Kirk, it's make or break for him."

First live Internet match for me this season.

I like the look of Edun.
Dobson is dominant as usual.
Camara looses the ball far too much.
Payne is being asked to play out of position and it shows.
Jones and Ness doing well.
May is looking a bit lost but potentially dangerous. 

We need another striker and central midfield at least asap.

Kanu over Kirk all day for me

The bloke in the glasses is onto a winner with the woman in the red dress 

Charlie Methane looks like he is thrilled to death.

Curbs: Dobbo wouldn't look out of place in our squads" from the Prem years. 

Second half underway.

Ball forward to Payne goes over the goal line before he can get to it.
