Scoreline is harsh on Mannion to be fair.A decent effort all round.21

Never a penalty got his hands to the ball and the player continued into him. Legitimate save as called by the commentary team.14 -
Disaster really. Not the result but Bell's injury. We better have some decent business lined up.17
-
Out of the FA Cup (albeit much further in than in recent years), some more injuries ... but here's a silver lining:
Still unbeaten in the league this calendar year. Marvellous.8 -
3-1 would have been a fairer result. They were much better than us, and our first half display was very solid.
Second half we went off the boil a bit and clearly tiredness/fatigue set in.16 -
Genuinely proud of our performance today. Shouldn’t hang our heads
Need a defensive replacement in this week. No excuses7 -
I don’t mind losing convincingly but when you have a c*** of a ref that gives two goals that shouldn’t have been then that fucking rilles me. No way was that a penalty. Cheating bastard.6

Thought we did ok - modern football is aa absolute joke - how do we compete with a money making machine like Chelsea? Scrapping cup replays to accommodate crap like this is the last strawCommentary was shocking - looking forward to Tel and co next weekend and real football…13

People are gonna whine in this thread but I thought they played well given the circumstances of the squad. Hopefully they play with this fight and passing during the rest of the season.17

Totally outclassed…wasn’t a penalty…..demoralizing defeat and 2 major injuries0

I’m surprised the TNT cameras stayed off Rosenior long enough to show a bit of the football 🤦🏻♀️🤬15

Watching from the sofa tonight, pretty happy with a lot of what I've seen against a nearly half a billion pound squad. That was never a pen at the end, Mannion got to the ball.
Ah well, on to Sheffield, can't wait to revert to type next week.

I had forgotten how up the arse of the Sky (TNT) six the TV coverage was. No hiding it here. Unfair scorline. Never a penalty.5

It can cover his deficiencies. He’s not a Championship player.ForeverAddickted said:The Red Robin said:

Some questioned Mannion’s shot stopping ability: well, he must have saved ten tonight and he had no chance with most of the goals. He’s a quality keeper.32

lol!... This interview with Hato is hilarious, especially the player not giving a single shit about not getting MOTM from TNT1

Yep. That’s all we want to see. Take that performance from the first hour into Saturday.aso914 said:People are gonna whine in this thread but I thought they played well given the circumstances of the squad. Hopefully they play with this fight and passing during the rest of the season.3 -

The replay shows Mannion getting his hands to the ball first.12 -

Thought the sky coverage was poor in previous matches, but TNT were hopelessly biassed tonight5

Don't care about the score, absolutely devastated that Bell has pulled up again though. I honestly think he or an equivalent is the difference between survival and relegation. If we haven't already we need to sign a LCB with some pace, whatever it costs. Add a LWB to that and we'll be ok. Lots to like in terms of our endeavour. Mannion did quite well, though he sent plenty of shots back towards attackers as all keepers do because football is real life. I don't think he'll get the stick Kaminski would. Which is fine, it's just Kaminski shouldn't get it either. Gough I thought was pretty good until the end when he started getting spun like a top by fresh attackers. He's good enough as a third choice RCB but I am still praying for a quick return for Ramsay. I think we'll feel the loss of TC as well, I hope that's not a long one. We went into the window needing a LWB, a centre mid and competition for TC, add a quick LCB to that urgently11

For me we could have been braver in first half ,i also would of had costello not docherty in the starting line up1

Chelsea squad value tonight: £470m
Charlton squad value tonight: £10-15m

I think the boys gave everything, the gulf in finances and quality is beyond massive and we gave it a go against them, scoreline flattered them too.
No shame here.6 -
Already see someone (a Charlton fan) on Twitter say that the “lack of bollocks shown was concerning”.
Don’t know if he was watching the same game tbh. That’s the last criticism I’d have of the performance.39
