We’re a definite work in progress in a whole number of different ways, so picking up wins that might not be flattering is really important so that we don’t get ourselves too far behind the play off positions.There’s lots of work to be done with this team, but with additions now on board and if everyone could do a spiritual dance or something that we get a bit of better luck with injuries, there is everything still to play for here16

Don't know why this got two lol's, was exactly how I saw it.
He was pony last week & pony today.
He may be playing right back instead of right sided centre half, but you wouldn't want him in your Welling/Bromley etc team playing like that.
He's a complete liability & it's not his fault but hopefully he doesn't feature again for some time.
I also believe players are aware of what people post on social media, and saying someone is pony is insulting. He's our player FFS. It's possible to be constructively critical without using one word put downs.
I agree he shouldn't be being played out of position as he looks nervous but to say that me criticising him on here won't do his confidence any good is way over estimating my influence on the player !
Did you watch the game?

Delighted with the win and really happy about how much influence the last set of substitutions made. Appleton got a lot of credit with me for that.
But for me, he didn't set the team up in the way that suited that team he put out. I feel that it would have had far more threat and balance with Campbell out wide and Leaburn down the middle where they are both more comfortable. The goal even came from those players being in their more natural positions. Both players put in a decent shift, but I just felt we would have been better.
We won so it's all great. Just thought we'd have looked stronger against this Wycombe team with that set up.3 -
ladies and gents, it's up.
Absolutely buzzing with that result, short & sweet; Appleton subs made a difference, CBT is the best winger in this league, Tennai Watson looked rapid, Wycombe couldn't cope with us on the wings (cheers Corey) and on a game that could have swung either way, we took the lead and didn't look back.
COME ON YOU ADDICKS!!!

But there’s just something about him that tells me he’s decent. Can’t put my finger on it.3 -
That certainly was a golden delicious result, for the lads, I hope our season starts now, if we can tighten up on defence and start to keep clean sheets, we might be onto something, 6 points off of the play offs, we just need to keep grinding out results.4

A good win which I wasn’t expecting after their equaliser.
When I arrived at the ground and saw the team sheet, I was looking forward to seeing Miles up top with Alfie, so was disappointed when Miles was out wide.The goal came from Campbell going wide and Miles going into the centre.I understand Apples point about the front 4 being fluid, but let’s give the Miles and May partnership a chance…5 -

It’s not a negative, Miles is a proper class act with the ball and will be going to a higher level than us very soon.1 -

With the squad we have, despite only "dinosaurs" playing it - we have to play 4-4-2 so we can get CBT, Leaburn and May into the side.
I dream of a commanding goalkeeper and center half in the January transfer window4 -
I think Tedic might have scored (the wonder goal) with his first touch.
Rare to see the referee overrule the assistant (correctly) for that Tyreece corner.
Good and necessary win, and if we win at Shrewsbury next Saturday that will recover two points from our eight point deficit.0 -
I'd like to see Corey and Dobbo sign new deals soon, think that would show real intent that we're working on something long term here9
-
Criticism of Isted for their goal is incredibly harsh. I've checked the replay, not only was it a superb strike, but there were 9 players between the keeper and the shot, there's no way he could have even seen it until it was too late to save it.

I actually thought being in the middle exposed TCs lightweight nature but did well to get an assist - not sure that0

Leuth said:What is this bizarre consensus that Hector was rubbish, btw? He defended really quite well? Yeah, he's not the quickest, and he was subbed off because he was exhausted, but he didn't really screw up much except one clearance?
So could you then explain how come our most experienced defender, who had a pre-season, of sorts, is “exhausted” after 65 minutes?3 -

Some of the negative comments are as always a matter of opinions.
we were the best team overall and yes we did not start the second half as well as the first, however
our new manager did what he is paid for changed three players and went 442, then we improved and we were worthy winners,
also Wycombe were assisted on several occasions by one of the worst referees I have seen here in years, has was a total WANKER 👍👍🤣🤣. COYRs.3 -
Covered End said:Southbank said:Defence is still porous. The centre backs do not command the area and the boy from Udinese is too raw. Maybe T Watson will make some difference.
But some of our attacking play is very good and we look dangerous going forward. If Appleton can improve the defence we should be able to climb the table.
Oh and although Isted's handling was good he did not make one save. Has he made one since he got in the first team?
He had no chance with the goal.
His handling was very good today and some of his kicking.
But his main job is to make saves.1 -
Possession stat has no bearing on who wins a game but big change after Charlton had 60% Possession in the first half, yet ended up with 48% possession by the end of the match.
My mantra is we have to be fluid in movement after the two wide men and the isolated central striker over the last few years rarely works for Cafc (Jayden and Conor eventually played in a 2) and it was good to see Campbell doing some great work out wide in going past the defender and Leaburn being central and getting his feet correct and taking his chance. Alfie was also attacking the 6 yard box.
I alway like to see strikers work together and with Corey Blackett-Taylor being more consistent and Fraser coming back soon our attacking play at least have lots of possibilities including the Campbells, Kanu, and Tedic.
I did say it would take until Mid September until our results would improve because of the undercooked players and players with injuries and hopefully 2 wins and a draw show the results are improving even if we are still quite a way off from being the real deal.
Good result and positive use of subs.

I actually think he did ok in the first half, it was the second half where he struggled. Pony though? Come on, he’s a 19 year old professional, get a grip!15 -

What happened at the Blackwall tunnel , my mrs and couple of the kids were in the car for 2 hours before turning around at gone 3pm .

4 of us sitting together would all have been happy with a point for most of the 2nd half.1 -

And there is a marked difference.
Easier to read the game as a centre back and with hopefully your flanks protected and pretty much everyrhing in front of you ( Or it should be). The move from there to full back feels a much more isolated position, with balls over the top, down the wing, dealing with speedy wingers, or two on one overlaps, etc.
Expecting him to adapt in a couple of weeks at his age is ludicrous. So, let's cut him some slack.
Besides, despite the spite, was he responsible for the only goal against us today?3 -

I hope he comes good, but there have been sloppy lapses and poor passes in his 2 games so far.3
