Nobody anywhere near our first team should be involved next week for me. We know we now following that have potentially a 3 game tournament to define the season.4

Their first goal, all our players in our box, no one picking up the scorer on the edge. Uphill battle from then on.0

So we send out the U21's, get spanked by Burton, and that's supposed to inspire confidence...🙄Addicksi said:Nobody anywhere near our first team should be involved next week for me. We know we now following that have potentially a 3 game tournament to define the season.3 -

If we go up this season we will need at least 5 to 6 new senior players for the championship.6

On another thread a few days ago I said I wouldn't mind Ahadme off the bench, and I'm sticking to that opinion after today3

Do Mbick and a rusty Kanu look more ready?charlton_hero said:
Dixon doesn't look ready to me.golfaddick said:
I'm starting to see a pattern. You get the wrong side of NJ and you are frozen out. It started with May, and had followed on with Ahadme & Mitchell. Then there are fringe players like Gilbert & Dixon who should have featured more.AFKABartram said:You have to ask again, with Jones injured why the hell isn’t Mitchell getting game time?Think the chances of him still being here next season are zero3 -
Don't forget Dixon has actively been playing for Jamaica when called up already.killerandflash said:

It's amazing how quickly fan confidence can turn. Monday evening after a 4-0 battering of a top team we were planning our run to the Champions League final on here and then an away loss against the second best team in the division and there's stacks of people pulling out receipts on our recruitment, posters who haven't appeared on a post-match thread in months appearing to criticise and plenty of hand-wringing about how we'll lose in the Playoffs based on this performance. The internet age of football supporting is wild.The important thing now is that we throw the game against Burton. We've proven we just can't win 4 in a row and beating Burton would set us up horribly for Wembley7

Think I’m going to have a break from here until the first leg - two hours since the final whistle and I’ve had enough of the Golfie whining already8

Think we are all frustrated that we didn't turn up today but let's hope we can do it the hard way now.5 -
Must have been watching a different game to me mate. Didn't offer anythingorpingtonRED said:
I thought TC was our best outlet and chance of getting back in it.Croydon said:Awful performance. Totally bottled it after the first went in, and that defending from the corner was appalling.
Anderson dreadful, TC anonymous and the subs showed just how little depth we've got. Lloyd Jones looked clearly injured so if he's out with Berry and Small then I don't have much faith in us getting through the playoffs.
Jones fit for play offs is looking pretty vital but I'm still confident we can do it

Yeah, probably guilty as charged also, frustration as you say, be better after a good nights sleep hopefully...🤞orpingtonRED said:

Shame we couldn't retain the same level of fight and spite as we have over the last few matches. Never expected 2nd but we really need to be on it / on a roll for the playoffs.3
-
Palace is one thing. Millwall making the Prem is another matter entirely. That one sneaked under the radar today. Like someone said if Carlsberg did Saturdays, they wouldnt look like this.11

It won’t be that team playing in the play offs so confidence won’t come into it. We need our players fit for the final three games , if they aren’t you can kiss goodbye of getting out of this awful league.eastterrace6168 said:

Of course it is disappointing, but better to know now than next Saturday when the disappointment might have been harder to swallow.
It is now all about preparing for the play offs, and accepting we might play away in the second leg of them.
I think we should realise how good and tough we can be, and face those games in a positive fashion.
We have Aneke available for the second leg, so there is that.2 -
OK, I was referring to "The Club" with the confidence remark...Bedsaddick said:

I am fully aware of the fitness thing and agree entirely, but the team need to get today out of their system, and the best way is a good performance against Burton, but yes some will need resting i agree.

And Millwall.JamesSeed said:Depressing day. Palace 🙁
Next week will prove if there is a God or not. Final game of the season & they need at least a point away to Burnley. If they beat them & get into the play offs I'm selling my soul to the devil.3 -
If it's the U21's getting spanked then its only their confidence that will be dented.....not anyone from the 1st team.eastterrace6168 said:

None of them look ready but we have no other choice. And it's what NJ said we'd do if necessary.killerandflash said:

I feeling victimised again.
Why not go the whole hog & PM me & call me a c***. Thats what some do.3 -
I don't get the Wrexham bashing by some fans. If the shoe was on the other foot, would we be complaining? Certainly fans from other clubs would! We were singing ' Where were you when you were shit' , and I was joining in, but look at our history, when crowds at The Valley were rock bottom, and we tried various initiatives to entice fans back, but the main driver is success. We've seen home crowds rise significantly this season on our incredible run from December, there's nothing like success that brings people into a ground.
Is the the complaint that they spent money in the January transfer window to bring in players, especially Smith, who I thought was outstanding today, or is it envy that they are in a position to do this, and we are not?
The atmosphere in the ground was amazing, both sets of fans were singing their hearts out, well for the first 20 mins! I must give credit to the Wrexham fans who threw the clowns chant back in our face. You probably can't out sing a Welsh side, what with their history of Choirs, but I particularly enjoyed Y Ama O Hed, an unofficial Welsh football anthem, the chorus translates as ' in spite of everyone and everything, we are still here' a sentiment that many Charlton fans would resonate with. They then did a version of Men of Harlech, of Zulu fame, but changed the words to turn it into a promotion song.
I was in a pub, the Railway Inn, only 15 mins from the ground, and it was rammed with local Welsh people, just enjoying the ride, and yes, there are those that latch onto success, but our fans do the same.
The whole Hollywood stuff does grate with me, but that might be envy or just distgust at the whole razzamataz of the situation, but again I say, what if the situation was reversed.
So, in summing up, I don't begrudge Wrexhams promotion, on the day they were the better team, our squad at the moment, with the injuries and suspensions is thin, at best, but it is what it is, and we need that final push over the line in the playoffs.
So put this result in the bin, congratulate Wrexham, and push forward for playoff victory!!24 -
I'm sure it's been said a million times already, but that sky coverage was dreadful. You'd think Wrexham fans will eventually become fed up of it too. Instead of seeing the incredible celebrations in the crowd, the camera just pans to the Hollywood boys. The media "circus" around them is far more irritating than the club itself.23
