    Not sure I’d want Chambers back next season. Looks a bit lightweight for the way NJ plays and doesn’t get forward enough.

    Maybe he's getting bullied or missing home and needs a bit longer. I was impressed in his first few games. Today i didn't actually know he was playing?

    Kelman and Dykes combo looking decent and Carey far more involved than he has been in recent weeks. Would much rather see rankin-Costello in over Doc though.

    Such a shame Josh Edwards has ended up missing most of the season, we've really missed a wing back like him that has a proper engine

    No commentary from me today ,  as I'm on my tablet cos I'm over visiting my family for Easter.  May pop back at half time
    For shame Ali!!
    Trust me if I'd have tried it'd have turned out to be absolute gibberish, as I can't see the telly screen with my reading glasses on , and can't read my tablet with my distance glasses on.

    Glad we've survived this season (probably) but we can't have this line-up next year please. Midfield needs sorting.

    100%. Which also makes the job our defence has done even more impressive.

    Some great 👍 goals from Under 21 against Peterborough at half time. Tall & strong looking players. Midfield looked good & pace upfront. 5-2 Charlton.

    Ok, half. Goal was defo their throw in...

    Midfield started poorly but has improved. Chambers and Clarke have plenty of room to improve. 

    Expect TC, For Chambers, and Godden for Kelman, around the hour mark. 

    Very winnable but would take a ppont. COYA!

    Conditions may be difficult but Charlton haven't managed to get their passing going, apart from the goal. Once again we can see the difference between a top ten side in this division and our little league of the desperate. Our two wing backs are anonymous and best two players have been Kelman and Dykes, how they have managed that when nobody has passed to them is beyond me.

    He's not looked like someone worth waiting most of January for.

    I don’t expect we will have the same midfield next season.

    6 more games of Greg Docherty starting for us I imagine. 

    Going to enjoy every single one of those poor touches and cheeky fouls. 
    If this guy is playing another 30+ games for us next season... Good grief. All credit to him, he runs and he tries, but he is sooo poor on the ball.

    Lot to shift on if so though

    We've got Anderson, Knibbs, Docherty, Coventry, Taylor, Carey, Berry and Rankin-Costello. 

    Need at least 3/4 of them to leave in order to get new starters in.

    There's been a successful marriage proposal on the pitch at HT.

    Just once, we need a 'no' in one of these. Would be so funny.

    Well done to the happy couple and all that though.

    Get the impression you're not keen on Brown.

    If they are to hold on to this draw, they need to get some possession in midfield,  otherwise Bristol will run through and score again. They look like 100meter Olympic sprinters compared us, getting to the ball  first.

    Seems like our fanbase has gone through phases with him - two months ago some were convinced the club had outright lied that he was first choice (before he kicked a ball) and this time a month ago a lot were asking the question how much might he cost to bring in permanently. Now he’s gone through a quiet spell and folks are back to questioning his loan.

    Easy to forget the run of form we were on before he (and others yes) came into the side.

    He probably looks good in an attacking side who gives him the ball over the halfway line and he's got room to run into.

    Hard to judge when most of the time he's given the ball 30 yards from his goal with a couple of opposition players immediately infront of him.

    Berry and Taylor will be released. Anderson will get another loan. 

    Knibbs, Carey, Coventry and JRC will be here next year alongside two new additions. Docherty will stick around in the club captain role, unless he’s desperate for a move to play regular football.

    Edwards would be first choice not sure Liverpool would be happy with Chambers on the subs bench.
