    How many has May now scored on the trot & is he approaching a club record ? 
    Six games on the trot in just the League for Alfie now
    Sadly didn’t score against Bolton a few games back. But still scoring in 6 of last 7 league games is superb for a striker playing for us.

    McGrandles celebration was a bit muted wasnt it. Go mad fella!

    I actually thought he should’ve headed it back across goal and had it not gone on then I suspect most would also be saying the same.

    hope it’s a turning point for him but won’t be holding my breath, not seem anything from him to tell me he’s good enough to start in our midfield

    Did not expect that.  First goal avoidable if we set up properly at corners.  Both ours were sloppy from them at near post but ‘whatever’ 😀.  Can’t believe we didn’t get a pen when their CB went up at that corner with his arm straight up and deflected the ball 🙄.  Sneaked into a home pub after the game and plenty of salty fans there and on the train… love it!!!

    Just got in from a cracking away day , proper old school that ,could have gone either way , but feel Mcgrandles has some neck for refusing to celebrate and cupping his ear when he hasn’t done a stroke since he signed for us .

    Perhaps if you spent the last few months with repeated injuries while trying to get match fit, and reading comments about how useless you are by so called fans, you may not be too excited about celebrating with them

    How you know he read comments, know him personally do you ?

    Players aren't dumb. They hear the grumbles, they have social media, their teammates have social media, their friends have social media. I'm sure some know about this board. If there is a widespread opinion of them amongst the fan base, particularly if it's negative, they're probably going to know it.

    I've got no time for it. Same as Jack Payne and Fraser away at MK Dons last season.

    Bad attitudes run through this squad in my opinion and tbh we're still massively underperforming - 11th in league one, 5 points off 6th and 13 off top 2.

    What did Payne and Fraser do at MK Dons?

    Also, I agree we're underachieving, but if you take out the Holden era, we're in playoff form. Appleton is 1.73 ppg since coming in, which would have us just behind Peterborough. There were injuries to start the season, and some of the transfers came in late (which always happens), but it should now also be clear that Holden was holdin' this team back.

    Shocking. Alfie raised his foot to block a clearance and he drops to the floor clutching his face.  Ref and lino had turned their back and didn’t have a clue what happened

    So basically not allowed to criticise then ?

    He earned us a point by scoring a goal. Why bother criticising because he didn’t celebrate to your expectations? Just be happy he scored and we gained a point away from home.

    No the ball had gone and it wasn't a clear goal scoring opportunity.

    Correct, that's exactly what I meant. You nailed it.

    The assist by Louie Watson today was a fantastic pass. Inch perfect and cut out 2 defenders to allow Alfie the chance to score.
    Same is true for Edun's cross for the second goal. Thought he had a good game as well.

    Just seen our second equaliser. Dear oh dear, that’s soft!
    Disagree. He took up a good position, headed it down and squeezed it past the near post. The bounce and being so close to the post made it difficult for the keeper. Besides, he deserved it.

    Some people shitting on McGrandles for no reason here. That was a well aimed header.

    He shouldn’t but he defo should’ve got a yellow for it - no need to come out like that

    He could cup his balls to us for all I care if he keeps nicking injury time goals :-)

    Definitely not. Surprised he didn't get a yellow though. Apart from that he was magnificent today. Probably the best goalkeeping performance I've seen from a Charlton keeper in recent years.

    Both goals were well taken BUT if it were a Charlton keeper letting two in at the near post like that he'd get an absolute mauling on here. Once is bad luck but twice is poor, for all the goals were aimed well.
