He was at fault for the Cheltenham goal as well, he's a young player learning the game but even if he does make a mistake, his more senior team mates should step up their game.RonnieMoore said:
Upto the mistake by AMB it was pretty even game the only chance was May .. but you can’t give them a leg up like AMB didfenaddick said:Think we were completely shocked by how Gills started and fair play to them for that. Went far too attacking after their goal and then I don’t think our players ever thought they’d score 3. Tedic ran around but did nothing. TC was poor, CBT & May anonymous. Would’ve been a great game to play Hector and give him some confidence. I know he’s been poor but think he’d have done better than Ness today. Always liked Lapslie but he was never as good as we made him look today1 -
Keep playing him out wide with no proper striker in the middle and that will no doubt continuelancashire lad said:that is now 3 games where May has not had a shot in open play on target. We were poor against Cheltenham but saved by 2 penalties and by all accounts today the team are following that downward trend - worrying4 -
Christ, we’re not going to start calling for yet another manager sacking are we?? Is that what people want?golfaddick said:
Problem is I don't trust Scott to replace them with anyone better and for Appleton to then get them playing as a team.MuttleyCAFC said:Gillingham clearly wanted it more than us. Fought for every ball. Not too down. What we need to do is stay in range and then replace some of the weak players we have in January (I don'y just mean physically but mentally too). Also some young players needs loan. Ness is so mistake ridden it cannot be ignored.8 -
As we saw before May can't play up front by himself and that's effectively what he's doing when Tedic is on the field. We could be in trouble over the next month until we can get a proper strike partner in for him.lancashire lad said:that is now 3 games where May has not had a shot in open play on target.

A rhetorical question James as that's exactly what they are calling for. Three defeats in seventeen games doesn't matter to these knuckle draggers. They specialise in the negative and in Charlton Athletic the easiest thing to be is negative. It's the same old names, and the same old rhetoric, boring, tired rants.JamesSeed said:

What a pile of kak that must have been to have to sit/stand through, and respect to every single one of the 1600+ diehards who attended.
That's about it really, wasn't there, didn't watch on one of the streams available, and had to take my lead from Terry and the Comms team, which was painful enough, just wonder who will be held aloft as today's MOTM in the players points thread...we really are turning into the reality of the Jim Davidson "Charlton Nil" joke, and it ain't bloody funny...😫0 -
The spine of our team is made up of youngsters who should be plying their trade out in lower leagues.
AMB, Ness, Aswimwe and Campbell shouldn't be anywhere near our starting 11 but have become stalwarts this season.

And stop wearing that black kit ffs!9

Sounds like an absolute shower of shit, team and apples need to have a very hard look at themselves. Appalling from what I have read, couldn't get a feed and frankly was probably good I couldn't. Get paid a shit ton of money by most people's standards and just don't turn up to do the job. Wankers !

That's the first time I've seen Appleton genuinely pissed off. And rightly too. Embarrassing. MoM probably McGrandles...5

Fans have said that regularly for years.Chippycafc said:On the train home. Lots of fans saying they cant recall a worse performance or team.7 -
Appleton can't wait for January can he? Really need some grit in the side.3
-
I don't think Apples like this squad. I get the idea he thinks they're a bunch of lightweights. But he keeps bigging up January. How much business are we realistically going to do in this window? It's notoriously difficult and usually ends up in a final day scramble where we take what we can get.13

Have a good Christmas Micky Apples, coz I have no faith in any further investment from our owners, who are they btw?Addick_and_Chips said:Appleton can't wait for January can he? Really need some grit in the side.7 -
Callumcafc said:Can’t believe Andy Scott had the gall to bring Lucas Ness and Tyreece Campbell to the club.
He didn't obviously bring either in but if he had bought better players in than he has they could both be out on loan getting experience before being lobbed in with us.
Instead we got Tedic, Isted, T Thomas, Penny, Abankwah, Chem Campbell, T Kane, Edun, T Watson and other junk I can't remember. Jones is decent, L Watson ok but on loan. Still, I am sure that in 2-3 more windows time we will have built on our current foundation of, er..?1 - Sponsored links:

Where did anyone call for another manager sacking? You are rewriting what people said.JamesSeed said:

I'm just defrosting now, went behind enemy lines for this one and to be honest I'm glad I did. So many of our players are bottlejobs. May and Dobson set themselves a standard at least of effort and tend to stick to it. Both looked to receive the ball and always compete, the rest. Holy shit it was awful and I would not even say it was a gutsy, ballsy Gillingham performance. They were astounded at how bad we were. Some of these youngsters need to take a leaf out of the Jonjo/Bowyer/Gomez book and grow an arsehole. They are clearly decent footballers and I'm being unfair singling youngsters out as so many of our senior professionals don't seem to realise the base level fundamental of earning the right to play by competing.
Football is not a complicated game, I played for as long as I did by competing and making better players than me have miserable games. Unless you are 2008 Barcelona you cannot just expect to play mincey passes, hang a leg out, and wait for the perfect ball to feet. In fact that's not even true as that Barca side worked their arses off out of possession. We stink. We stank the other night too.
These players are at a level where they can make a platform for a decent career as a professional or they can doss it off and become a superstar for some 10th tier side if they are lucky and realise too late they wasted an amazing opportunity. We have a squad full of pussies, still.25 -
Where has anyone in the comments above called for another manager sacking? They haven’t. But you go ahead and twist people’s words to suit your own rhetoric and defence of another shit show of a performance.Bailey said:JamesSeed said:

Neither can I.Chippycafc said:On the train home. Lots of fans saying they cant recall a worse performance or team.1 -
Behave. We're all pissed off, but surely we give a manager at least one transfer window to make improvements and get his own players in, don't we?DDOUBLEE said:

Sat in a freezing cold away end watching no effort from our players. Micky Apples looked brain the whole game in post match interview.No desire to change to a system that wasn’t working or think about how we might look going forward.
Joke of a day. Best thing the squad can right now is not pull a scrappy win out the bag against reading mid week but instead think about refunding all the fans who turned up to watch that pile of shite in the cold. Least they could do.
Not happy watching Scott Fraser shrug his shoulders at the end walking off, Appleton mindlessly clapping like a tactical brain dead zombie, or Louis Watson (who had his absolute worst game for us today) tapping on his heart. Oh Louis I’m sure your many thousands of pound a week keeps you warm safe and happy at night even after your midfield nightmare.Worst we have been in years.4 -
Spot on. Our players are too nice and half of them are shit and too nice.MuttleyCAFC said:I won't swear but the type of player required in January begins with C. Yes they need to be able to kick a ball but they also need to be a C. One needed in midfield, One needed up front and one needed in central defence. Then see where that gets us. In December we have to pick up enough points to stay in touch.1 -
Getting harder and harder to follow the team! 15 out of 17 years of self inflicted dross!Mendonca In Asdas said:You need a thick skin, and a sense of humour following this mob at times.
Can't change my club, but it's hard work! At least I had the Lennie and Curbs years to look back on fondly, feel sorry for those that were born too recently to be able to have those memories!6 -
Bowyer tried to change it but there was a lot of noise on CL opposing him.EveshamAddick said:We’ve had no steel in the side since Bowyer was manager. And probably for a while before that too. Another low.9
