Charlton post match anaylsis

Lets try and keep thoughts and comments to one thread here?

 

i can't believe how this could happen, it is not that hard to defend a 2-0 halftime lead :doom:

 

we are staying up, say we are staying up....yooooooooooooooo orns:]]

 

I hate to say it, but Aidy lost that with his team substitutions.

10 points to man city:sign5: :sign3:

 

terrible, we dont know how to keep a lead.

Poor.

 

Disgraceful

How can a team in such a perilous position contrive to throw away a two goal lead to one of our closest rivals.
It is beyond comprehension.
I would play the reserves against Plymouth.:rant:

 

yeh but our defense is worse when we turn defensive!!! and i dont even know how that is possible

 

Watford v Charlton

Match report to follow later.

More...

 

Why suddenly in the middle of a game does it all go **** up? This is not the first time this has happened.

 

Agreed

 

Every time we sit back and go defensive we get spanked. Why have we not learned?

 

Dont bother, let me sumarise it for you.

First half good.
Second half:sign3:

 

Sorry guys, i didnt listen to the game, how did we play in general. Was their 2nd goal always coming?

 

not just a 2nd goal coming. looked like they were gonna win it right at the end

 

Just need to not panic. I didn't listen to the first half, but i saw it was 2.0 and i always had that terrible thought we might throw it away. It would have been good, just for a sense of pride if we'd won, but a draw isn't good enough for Charlton either, so i think the bottom 3 will stay the same now

 

Any confidence I had that our rock bottom position was due to the others not playing both matches against the big clubs has now gone. Whilst I thought we would go down I also thought we'd put in some effort and try and stay up.

I don't want to travel all the way to Plymouth to watch us play like that.

 

Carly predicted it almost to the minute.:rant:

 

So its her fault?

:fighting1:HornetteCarly.:rant:

 

We got to learn that the best form of defense is attack.

 

Reading BBC match report they said it was one of our best displays this season and they hadn't troubled us until the equaliser. Are they wildy off the mark or has the emotion of the situation overcome peoples opinions?

 

Hey what can i say. i am the ultimate predictor. i just felt it in my stomach!

 

BBC reporter probably only stayed for the first half and then buggered off down the pub. Pretty much standard fare.:rant:

 

3 Counties said despite us not playing so well in the 2nd Half Charlton weren't creating much, i didn't listen to the whole game but i think we were the better side in the 90.

But at the end of the day, a 2.0 lead (at half time) ending in 2.2 feels like a defeat and also the late goal just sums up the season.

 

Well I've just back from the game. We're down, I think it's safe to say. Fantastic first half - Francis played behind Priskin as an attacking midfielder and looked excellent when unburdened by defensive responsibilities, Bouazza looked like his old self, Lee was back on form, Mahon was directly responsible for the first goal we scored due to a brilliant tackle and generally we kept Bent quiet. So far, so good. But then it all went wrong. We came out and Charlton came at us, we rode that and seemed to be fine. But the basic fact is two defensive errors and we've drawn. I hate this division. I hate teams having two chances against us and scoring them. It's just no fun. Even the referee was a prize ******. Gave everything to Charlton and nothing to Watford. Obviously the order has come down to keep Charlton up at all costs. Ah well - at least Luton and Leeds lost...

 

Cheers UEA good little report of the goings on. Francis sounded by all accounts to relish his new role behind the striker, how true is that or are the offical site hyping him up a bit?

How did Tamas do up there on his own?

 

Damien Francis and Hamuer Bouazza both played fantastic, some players on 88 minutes thought we had won the game, takes the pss, we've done this to many times!

 

Francis looked very good. I'm starting to think he's crap at passing but that's not so crucial up front. He created havoc and seemed to really fit in. In fact I think he was only subbed to avoid a sending-off. Unfortunately that sub removed a big attacking threat from our team. Tamas did ok, not as much impact as against Everton but he worked hard. Had a one-on-one chance early on which he really should have scored. I think if that'd gone in his confidence would have soared but as it was he still worked hard.

 

Well sounds like we might have found Francis a position. Would you keek the same formation then for Plymouth? Keep Priskin up front or go back to Hendo?

 

:]]

But anyways i think we should keep francis where he is but still bring on Hendo for Priskin

 

Same as today if it was up to me. We looked dangerous and I honestly don't think Plymouth would score if we can play like today.

 

Dunno what you're smiling about. Doris comes on at 2-1 and 30 seconds later it's 2-2. I'd say 'Agent' Doris did a good job for Charlton...

 

thats just blasphemy!! he is the big red and yellow scoring machine

 

2 goals in 34 games doesnt suggest so
