    Coventry is currently scoring 10/10, the rest are an entertaining mishmash of 8s, 6s and 4s

    HT 0-1,doing just enough for the lead, but we need to bury these chances...still see us winning but we are making it hard for ourselves

    This team is really really good now, until they get into the opposition penalty area.
    The midfield has been good tonight but the defence has been shaky, and the finishing not good enough. We're much improved but still a long way off "really really good".

    These defenders (Thomas and Dobbo) are causing my a-hole to go into spasm. I hope Jones is brave at HT and takes off Thomas and Anderson for Jones and Ladapo - Alfie going into the hole.

    What? Two of the three midfielders have been rubbish. Admittedly the other one is on another planet to the rest of the field

    No. 

    Not one player is near a 10. 7 probably the highest right now.
  • Some really poor bits of defending and keeping just before half time then.

    We’ve had enough chances to be in a comfortable lead here, we must get another goal or 2 as we look like gifting one away again.
  • Anyone know when the League One Play-Off Final is?

    Cheltenham shouldn't be in the game, some lose performances from Thomas, Anderson, Dobson and surprisingly Alfie May. We need to put our foot on the ball and play.

    If we don't get a second we know what will happen here.

    I thought one of them was quite a big miss actually

    Some real class moments from Coventry, REG, Small, Watson, some agricultural errors and some underperformers, Anderson and May particularly.
    One goal definitely not enough to win this game.

    REG and Small been the stand outs for me, plus a couple of very timely blocks from Gillesphey. 

    We still look brittle at the back as a unit though, and I think Cheltenham will nick one. Been great going forward with both wingback, just need to convert

    Well the first 20 minutes of crapness turned.into a pretty open game, Moment of quality from us and we're a goal up.

    Cheltenham woke up and realised they're in a relegation fight and have been coming at us in pure league one fashion.

    We're looking good going forward but need to finish another chance soon as at the back we're looking panicked.

    Could be, 2-2, 0-3, or 2-1 come the end of the game. No idea how to call it!

    Yeah, criticising our defence...REG and Gillesphey have been absolutely brilliant

    This won’t end well.

  • Cov, REG, Small and and Tennai all very good.

    My favourite Anderson is hanging a bit of a stinker. Isted hesitant and uncommunicative, too.

    Twenty minutes only achieved a bruised ball, then a moment of real quality with Coventry's pass. Plenty more chances followed for Charlton and we really should be further ahead. 

    We need to be, as there are some alarming moments of our own making at the back still.

    I think from that replay, the forward kicks his heels up, so the ref's taken it as a dive.
  • As we miss chance after chance, I doubt there is a single Charlton fan watching who doesn't know what is going to happen.

    And with our defence looking really shaky  I fear it will happen. 

    Desperately need a second goal to kill this off and can only hope that Alfie finally gets his goal.

    Ten minutes in and I caught myself reading the signs around the pitch and wondering why the typesetters and sign writers signs were the most boring. That's how scrappy it was. The goal was a peach though and afterwards we looked a real cut above (save for the nonsense near the end). Should be more than one up.

    Poor finishing, shaky at the back, should have conceded a penalty, game not over by a long chalk. Should be out of sight maybe but not taking our chances could come back to haunt us.

    Pretty much one way traffic but we desperately need second goal. Anderson has lost the ball almost every time he has it. Needs to come off. Alfy having a bad night but he’ll score eventually. Thomas has a disaster in him and I’m not convinced by the keeper. But we’re so much better than them it’s ridiculous. Jones has got something out of TWatson that I didn’t know he had.  If we get another quickly we’ll get theee or four but there’s always the chance that we do what we did in Saturday.  This is a god-awful league though!!

    All I can say is......how many clean sheets have we kept this season, especially away from home.

    Like last Tuesday we might need to score 2 to win. 
  • Really need Alfie to put one away, for his sake and ours!

    As poor as Cheltenham are, I’m getting stressed out every time our defenders start faffing around. Please don’t let them gift another goal to crappy opposition.
