After a long international break, Charlton travelled north to Huddersfield in hopes of gaining both points and confidence to inspire a run in the right direction. Conditions weren’t ideal. A side depleted through injury were met with swirling winds and relentless, torrential rain that made the afternoon quite challenging. The first forty-five minutes were all action. Charlton fell behind on thirteen minutes through Huddersfield’s left midfielder, Michel Miller who got his head on the end of a corner and headed past Ashley Maynard-Brewer. Not long after Miller had another opportunity that he should have scored. Thankfully, his effort didn’t find the back of the net. With Charlton still in it, the equaliser came when Edmonds-Green forced contact in the area and went over. Matty Godden converted the penalty to bring Charlton level. Then, another twist changed momentum again, when Charlton captain Grey Docherty’s late challenge resulted in an instant, rather harsh, dismissal.
Down to ten men, Charlton started the second half brightly. Conversely, Huddersfield looked complacent and soon the visitors would put them under continual pressure. Charlton came close to scoring through Leaburn, who seemed to delight in causing the Huddersfield back line, and in turn their fans, problems. The whole second half turned quite contentious. It was Huddersfield that prevailed through the conditions with their one man advantage to take the lead on sixty three minutes through a long-range Kasumu effort that flew past Maynard-Brewer. Where I thought the keeper could have done better with the goal, there were saves to come that offered partial redemption. Charlton pressed for a second equaliser which never came, despite come clear opportunities that fell to the battling strikers, Leaburn and substitute Ahadme.
Middle table obscurity is inevitable unless some substantial quality is added in January.

Even Karel Fraeye thinks Jones is a football terrorist.Another season of being absolutely shite. Bring on 25/26 with a different manager.17

I’ll never give up on Charlton but I’m getting pig sick of the terrible quality of the football week after week. We never seem to turn up until the players have had their regular half time bollocking.
Yet again we were awful in the first half and might easily have gone in at the break 2 or 3 down. A very soft penalty gave us a foothold but a terrible tackle by Docherty and the resultant deserved sending off made our job even harder. Amazingly, we played better in the second half with 10 men but couldn’t hold out for a draw.
Our defence looked very shaky again. It’s clear that Lloyd Jones is the commanding aerial presence we need and we’re missing him badly. Alex Mitchell looks a long way short of his early season form.
Miles Leaburn was our star player by a long, long way and he came close to scoring with a flashing header but we still lack that clinical touch in front of goal. It was Ahadme’s turn to miss an absolute sitter today, in much the same way that Godden and Mitchell spurned gilt edged chances at Exeter.
We’ve just got to get a result at Burton. Not normally too big an ask but with our current crap form I wouldn’t put too much money on that happening.

Two weeks to improve on the Exeter performance and we come back looking worse.4 points off the drop, start looking over your shoulders boys9

Jones needs to do the right thing and walk away. He's yesterday's man who got extremely lucky at Luton. If it's true he was kicking off at one our players on the pitch at full time then he's not fit to manage this club.9

Poor squad and poor manager based on what I've seen so far.
Grim season and having spent £200 to go to Northampton am questioning my sanity.
We look what we are- a mediocre mid table league one club with a lovely stadium that is too big for us who sell half n half scarves v Wrexham. That's where we are now and have been for years. Long may it change and quick.

Done ok with ten men can’t fault the effort just lack quality and bodies to change it up. Long season ahead as the injuries mount. Our inability to chances will haunt us however Huddersfield probably missed just as many1

I'll never give up on fellow CAFC supporters, but I have given up on those that own, run and manage our club.4

so did Lincoln, it is great to think we may be as good as them once in a while.RaplhMilne said:REMEMBER1 -
Total shit again. Awful defending and a captain with zero brain have made a tough job even harder. Huddersfield were awful and still held us to 32% possession.
Jones has assembled a truly awful side. No quality and no creativity. Ahadme and Hylton up top at the end summed us up perfectly - completely ineffectual.20 -
Took them years to find it,wonder how long more it takes for us to find a defence a midfield,strikers & a fucking manager that can get a tune out of his very own players…& a Captain that hasn’t deserted his profession as a footballer…YannTheMann said:HMS Piss the league has done a Titanic1 -
Jones has made some terrible signings and we're playing terrible football. Hard to see how things will change.
Quite an achievement to be so bad season after season...12 -
Only 4 points now above the bottom 4. Two big games coming up against Burton & Crawley, don't win at least one of them it is starting to look very nasty.9

Deserved something from the game for the 2nd half performance with 10 men and but for Leaburns header going just wide and Ahadmes unbelievable miss from 2 yards out we wouldve done. Two very average sides. Glad Docherty is suspended for 3 games, shame Hylton cant be as well for that shameful free kick. Midtable at best this season.0

It turns out I’ve been going for over a quarter of a century now and this is without doubt the worst team I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching. Even when we were shit, we were better than this. Remember Roland? It’s almost the glory days!Luckily I have my boys u11 team as my 2nd (soon to be first) team.This season P10 W9 L1.If anyone lives anywhere near West Sussex and would like to watch a football team that passes the ball to each other in a way that resembles a real football team then get yourself down to Sompting recreation ground for 10am tomorrow morning (weather permitting)7

After a poor first half, in fairness the 10 men left gave it a good go in the second half and we could have got a draw that was probably deserved.
But let's be honest, it's nearly time to start looking at the bottom of the table, not the top. And if Leaburn is now out for any time, we really should start looking at the bottom 4's results.
Sums it all up for me that we ended up with Ahadme and Hylton up front. Ahadme may get the odd goal but he is hopeless. And Hyton isn't a joke, he's just a complete idiot for trying to take a quick free kick to a player in an off side position when we had a free kicjk in a really dangerous position.
And Jones is an embarrassment. Booked again, throwing himself to the ground, non-stop moaning. It's not a good look.9 -
He’s gone by Christmas, I’m not sure we have got any better. Potentially worse, at least we could score goals.
Injuries or not you don’t expect the football to be this dire, Southend knocked it round better than us.4 -

4 points off relegation zone, time for the Welsh wa@@er to go. Season over again before Christmas.2

If Hylton was a dog, he’d be taken out back and shot. Personally, I’d shoot him regardless for that pass at the end.12

Just bored of it now tbh, really glad I didn't go today, and will reluctantly make my way to Burton. It doesn't feel like a hobby following Charlton anymore now, more like a chore. It's complete anti-football and there's too many chancers within the club.
I'd love to know what the owners are thinking, cause this is genuinely unacceptable. The quality of player is dire.12 -
Need players in Jan. To many poor players in the side coupled with a terrible injury list. I'm not one, yet, calling for NJ's head, just swapping managers hasn't worked over the last few seasons, and anyway who is available that could change this around without spending money?
However, the current side have no fluidity, midfield is static going forwards, and the defence without Jones and Ramsay is poor.
Miles needs help, he needs someone to deliver balls into the box.
Once we went to 10 men we looked a bit better, but that's not saying much.
We must beat Burton and Walsall, this side needs confidence. Finally the owners need to dig deep and get some playmaker's into the side.

They put a real shift in second half and could have easily taken a point if Leaburn’s header was the other side of the post or Ahadme didn’t head wide when it looked easier to score.
It’s going to take another season at least to get this right. Madness to call for Jones to be sacked even though I agree the hoof ball is shocking.5 -
