  • And that's the difference having a makeshift striker upfront. A proper striker would have buried thay chance. Or at least had it on target. 

    Thing I'd TC had been the only player in pre-season who has been scoring.

    Can I recommend Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson which explains both what those numbers mean and why they came to be known as such. As well as why a "4" in Britain is a "6" in most of the rest of Europe. 
    Nah, you're all right mate. 
  • Maybe TC will be our secret weapon this season?
    Not if he keeps spooning shots over the bar like that :)

  • Where was this Charlton against Wimbledon last week?

    When Jones talks about aggressive, front foot, football - this feels much more like it.

    Winning the ball far up the pitch, and being quick when we get it.
    We always beat Portsmouth, remember.

    Four goals so far

    May is someone you would call a proper striker and he had a 24% conversion rate last season and scored a goal every 4.4 shots….

    No I know whinging about things you don't understand is more fun. 
    "whinging"?

    You need to calm down, treacle. xx
  • Another good tackle by Coventry allows us to play the ball forward to Doc who snaps a low shot wide from about 25 yards 
  • But what time does the match start? 🔧
    Lost 0-1 Southampton

    Nice follow up in play by Docherty, shot well wide, but nice idea...
  • A fucking trumpet has found it's way into the mouth of a south coaster. It's been no rhythm all blues for their team so far

  • Pressing really well. Defence and midfield timing it perfectly when stepping out to pressure Pompey's touch when it gets into the Charlton half.

    Blimey, even Louis is positive.
  • Ref letting a lot of pushy-shovey go today so far

  • This is the first time I've watched us this preseason. Campbell looks a different player. 

    Am I wrong to be expecting more from Ahadme?

    Docherty getting nice and agitated about some slightly sloppy passing. Glad he's vocal and trying to push standards as he said in his interview 
    Was going to mention that.

    A bit different to Dobson who was more a lead by crunching tackle captain.
  • Also is it me or does Gillesphey look a bit like Alex Hales?
  • Well this is encouraging. Ramsey, Edwards, Doc and Ahadme all looking v good. Jones and Mitchell solid at the back.
