First half:
- some nice passing moves, especially between Edun, Camara and CBT
- some great tackling from Dobbo
- several dangerous moments in their box without any reward
- probably best not to mention the corners
- a few good moments from Rovers on the break that caused us concern, but we definitely had the best of the first half despite being somewhat toothless up front.
- A silly free kick conceded by Jack Payne, AMB made the initial save but Rovers were able to pull the ball back and slot home
- A few other defensive scrambles including last ditch clearances from Ness and Hector
- Bringing on Kanu definitely helped, not just in terms of the goal he scored but also harrying defenders into making mistakes
- Poor Alfie May was so unlucky. Hit the post when he looked odds on to score, and getting fouled when racing away from the defenders (should it have been a red card?)
- 98th minute sucker punch goal conceded means 0 points rather than 1

Should be titled POST match thread.0

Never want to see Payne in a Charlton shirt again. Absolute disaster class and worst individual performance I have ever seen!22

Thoughts are May wasn't unlucky. He missed a good chance that he should've scored.31

Ness is crazy overrated for me, lost his man for the winner, criminal, certainly ain't good enough for a play-off chasing side11

Confident we'll stay up.28

Very demoralised after that result, and there’s plenty to moan about.
Rather just comment on positives. Some exciting attacking play by Edun, and he done well in defence too. Kanu was busy when came on, not just for the goal, but won the ball for May’s shot which hit the post and the red card incident.

You can already tell that this is going to be a mediocre season, unless 4-5 top class players come on ready to go which just won't happen24

We looked absolutely knackered in the final 10. Five or six running on empty.

Even game....they might havec shaded it as we had to clear a few off the line.
But we need to create more clear cut chances. And then take them.
BIG game sat. Dont win that & we are in the bottom 6.5 - Sponsored links:

Send Payne to Colchester now!16

Still believe we have the makings of a good team and that makes the result even more gutting.I liked what I saw from Jones, Ness, Edun, Dobson, Camara and Blackett-Taylor.
I pray Alfie May looks better once Leaburn is back.
Asiimwe and Anderson need the opportunity to sit out a couple of games when they need it.
Not convinced by AMB still at times, perhaps should’ve done better with the near post shot that won the game.
The less said about Jack Payne the better.28 -
Edun, dobbo, Asimwee & flashes from Camara our only highlights.
defence is beyond shakey - midfield doesn’t look to comfortable either at times!!CBT played well getting past his last man, but just hoses to shoot over and over- fair play, but look for may!2 goals in 3 league games is woeful - need leaburn back asap as well as additions. Bench is terrible, and persisting with midget Payne cannot continue - Kanu much better
not sure I see Holden surviving the season currently1 -
Gutted with that result.. from where we were stood looked like a red all day long when may was through… should have scored his chance but hit the post, needs to get his first goal to get his confidence up… Edun looked decent.. too pissed off to rate the rest of them.1
-
Pathetic set up once again. Holden wants to play with wing backs we buy 1 wing back. We can change it to 4-3-3 but we sign no wingers. Shit shambles of a club once again. Sign 4-5 decent players in the next 2 weeks or fail miserably like the last few seasons.

Asiimwe was out of position leaving Ness having to mark two players.IR94 said:Ness is crazy overrated for me, lost his man for the winner, criminal, certainly ain't good enough for a play-off chasing side8 -
We're relying way too much on youth and players with no experience.
They may be good enough to not look out of place, but they aren't good enough to push us onto promotion.
Set-pieces in particular were woeful and that's a coaching issue to me.12 -
For those watching Charlton TV , should that have been a red? What does Curbs think?1

Keep this average 1 point a game up, and we are not going down. A that’s exactly what we are bang fecking average……. With a complete Vanilla Manager….4

Jesus Christ, I know I wasn’t there (as I’m not insane) but can you really mean this over and above the utter bilge we’ve been served up over the last decade plus…??CAFC_boi said:Never want to see Payne in a Charlton shirt again.

That was a mixed performance from a team that is nowhere near promotion level.
Best things about it were Edun's debut and Kanu's goal.
He deserves to start upfront in a 2 with May on Saturday.
Other than that it felt just like last season4 -
I will take one positive from this game, I go on holiday on Friday for a week, so I don’t have to suffer the home game against Port Vale 😀0

I thought we visibly wilted second half after their first goal. We just seemed to lack any real physicality. If we're honest, they should have had two more before we scored to get ourselves back in it.Valley11 said:We looked absolutely knackered in the final 10. Five or six running on empty.10 -
Tactics are awful. Need to start calling out the fact that we're constantly pumping it long to a 5ft9 striker.
Defensively we're all over the place. Feels like a smash and grab but thay had two cleared off the line in the second half and Sinclair missed that lob. It's so easy to get behind us.
Set pieces, again, were a shambles.
Positive is that Edun looked good, Kanu scored and Dobson seems to get better every match.
We'll be miles off a challenge with the squad as it is. The starting 11 isn't even that impressive and the bench is pathetic.

Curbs says red. Brown says red but can make an argument for yellow because May’s touch on the ball didn’t put himself clean through.killerandflash said:For those watching Charlton TV , should that have been a red? What does Curbs think?1 -
We can't just keep harping in about top 6/promotion as a club because that's what we fancy. Make some actual inroads towards it or stop the big statements.
Losing in the 98th minute at home, when you can hold on to a point....seeing fans get home at 12/1/2am....that's how you lose them Charlton from making an effort.2 -
There is more bite on the homeless fella i see everyday at London Bridge.0
