Need a lot more Goal involvement all round than that!!1 -
Was there ever a more predictable goal in football than theirs? Woeful defending against the bleeding obvious.Awful in the first half, but much better in the second: came out with their tails up. Leaburn made a difference when he came on too.One question though: what happened to the second period of extra time?5
-
What comes first, May double figures for goals or cards?
Neck and neck at the moment!1 -
Didn’t watch being exiled in the north but mightily relieved. We must get a manager who can organise us defensively because that not just an Achilles heel it the whole leg. I do think we have the personnel to tighten it up and I’m very hopeful that we’ll be up to the task elsewhere on the pitch. All about the manager now. Seasons just started for us.2

So Kanu is better than May and Dobson is shit in comparisonstonemuse said:0 -
That first half was up there with the worst I’ve ever seen, possibly the worst in our entire history. We keep getting worse each week.
plus side, somehow won, May is clearly a decent striker if we weren’t utter toilet, and Leaburn looked class and exactly what we have been missing when he came on. Angry, physical, aggressive, determined, self confident. Let’s hope he can help turn us around, despite how toss we’ve been all season, I think the table would probably look relatively exciting at the moment if we’d had him involved for the first 5 games.

great start for Pearce .. now some time to bed in the newcomers, develop a consistent system and get cracking0

Criminal first half and hour with minimal effort and application. A yard behind Fleetwood.
We were saying that we need Bowyer to
lay into them.
Maybe Pearce did and the second half was an improvement.1 -
I'd suggest hopefully his last game.Lincsaddick said:great start for Pearce .. now some time to bed in the newcomers, develop a consistent system and get cracking7 -

Two miracles today
1) I saw a Woolwich Ferry actually moving. Obviously not in service yet.
2) Charlton do a Golfie.
I'm looking forward to the 3rd one.8 -
It wasn't pretty, but we do have some very entertaining players.
Given players due to come in, it does feel encouraging.
Funny what can happen if you play your best defenders in a flat back four, even if everything else felt rather improvised.

3 points.Pleasing to see the return of Leaburn, there was one bit of hold up play that was exactly what we’ve been missing this season.Ran the clock down excellently. Had the ball by the left corner flag for about 4 hours at one point.Pleased for Pearce.Not a classic, but a win’s a win and we bloody needed one!6

Nice to stop the rot and have a positive result to reflect on. Add a Camara and a Fraser to that 2nd half and the goals will come. Other end is the issue, but not for tonight.0

Alfie May talking on Radio London about the pen.
Goalie said I was going down the middle.
I told him, 'Yeah, I'm going down the middle',
'He dived, I put it down the middle'.
2-1 Charlton.
Mind games eh?36 -
Yessssss how good it is to get the win
After a poor 1st half we was definitely the better team in the second
Good to see Miles get on & looking good

We should never have sold Stockley. :-)Smithy said:Why did they take Stockley off. Idiots.
Just joking. I think. It would have been interesting to see how he performed with Alfie May alongside him.1 -
Shocking performance from the ref .. let’s get that out the way first so a win was massive given the one sided official .
First half it was a case of height and we struggled , they played very direct looking for flick ons , they had 3 big blokes and we just had Hector and Jones which meant that Edun come up against an impossible task , and this resulted in the opening goal .. but a great goal from May got us back into the game . Second half completely different story totally dominated the game , somehow the useless ref failed to see the very pen on C Campbell .. but could not not give the foul in CBT ( the way he played thank god he went down cause he would have blasted it over ) .. May drove the ball home . Second half we were excellent and showed the fight and spirit of Pearce. The points we deserved
12 mins of added time turned into 15 mins as the ref was determined to give Fleetwood as much chance to score a second as he could but second they were not in it and very poor
MOM C Campbell had a very good game , Jones was a monster at the back ..
Special mention to the crowd not easy to get there with train strikes , road closures and last weekend of the kids school holiday , but fantastic turn out and great support for the boys and Jason Pearce

A much needed 3 points but fuck me that first half was a hard watch.
Can only hope that when Camara, Frasier and the new guys are ready then things will improve.
Anyway onwards and upwards3 -
Pearce must have given one hell of a team talk at half time.
So terrible first but much improved second.
Another diabolical ref, where do we get them.12 -

First half was not bad just took us a while to come to grip with their direct approach .. they had 3 big players up top we only had two big centre backs .. which meant Edun was exposed that’s how the goal come about .. but we got to grips with it and apart from 30 mins we were by far the better team and dominated the game ..MrOneLung said:Followed on the match thread.First half sounded as bad as it gets
good to get a Golfie after 18months or so12 -
Terrible first half and much better second. We had so much possession around the 18 yard box but need better decision making - should have scored more than two.
No idea what our defence was up to in the first half - left so much space.
We can only get better...1 -

Really impressed with Taylor’s corners. Found a man every time and that’s something we’ve lacked for years.20

Exeter, Stevenage and Port Vale in the top 4.0

Phew
The sun shines again at The Valley4 -

This was the "clear penalty" not given on Campbell. Their player definitely played the ball and the only question is whether he went through Campbell first. Doesn't look like it from this shot.6 -
Pleased to get the win. First half was 99% awful, Alfies goal and the slide rule pass from Chem being the 1% pure class.
2nd half just so much better, glad to see Miles back, Chem, Cory and Tyrecee can get crowds on their feet.
Dobbo was everywhere across the park...there was finally some fight.
Well done JP, your halftime 'kick up the arse' worked!
Now get more back from injury, bed in the 4 new players...and let's kick on!
