    Let’s see if he’s still above TC in the player marks. Plenty still giving him 7

    He looked unfit. Was huffing and puffing the entire game and every time I saw him he had his hands on his knees. Hopefully he gets some rest these next two days because when he isn’t on his game I lose faith in the whole defensive structure.

    As I said on the match thread, there was a close up of him walking away from the  camera  shortly before kick off, and it looked like he was walking slightly stiffly, which did  not  bode well. Hopefully they can sort him out over the weekend.

    I think he’s looked like that at some stage in each match for the last 3 months plus

    Im not going to make excuses for him. Yesterday was as bad as I have seen him from memory in a Charlton shirt. If he is playing through injury and its got so bad that is how he will perform I think we ae better off resting him up and starting Macca or Gough until he is fitter.

    What I will say in his defence, is bad performances are a normal part of the being a footballer and Jones has certainly banked enough credit over the last 2 seasons to be forgiven for mistakes.

    Thought it was revealing that his personal goal this season was to play every single match. I really hope he’s not causing himself long term damage by playing through something just for that target

    As the season has progressed i have noticed that Lloyd has got more and more handsy with his opposite number. In the weekend on at least three occasions he had his arms all over the PNE player when competing for a high ball. He does this Aussie Rules type climb up the back of his man and throws his arms and upper body weight all over the player. If i had done what he did i am certain I would have conceded a free kick every time.

    Long may his dominance in the air continue, but how does he get away with it?

    Don’t think he does they’re just never given much in general. Saw it happen with Dykes Saturday as well if the Preston centrebacks were anymore into him they would have found a way to get him pregnant. Centrebacks can get away with a lot of things in today’s game, which is probably why smaller strikers don’t get as much success at this level
