7 times now this season we've dropped points from a winning position. Okay we're not always going to hold on but with those extra wins we'd be 5 points clear at the top of the table.
We are not being positive enough when we take the lead.
1 win in 8 and the bubble is fully burst, we started the season surprisingly well now we just aren't winning enough. I could pick out a few players that aren't good enough at this level but I won't bother.. we need another striker foremost, but Roley poley won't be supplying us that.
disappointing but not totally unexpected so far as I was concerned .. what's worrying is the decline in our defence .. the underpowered squad may well be very vulnerable over the Christmas/New Year games
After 35 years of supporting through thick and mostly thin, I think I'm falling out of love with Charlton. Maybe it's because I've got two v young children who take up my time and my focus but actually, I've been feeling like this for some time now. Anyone else?
Battling relegation last year was more exciting than these last couple months tbh. Gutted by this result. Blackburn away is next, we need to get a positive result. My hopes of promotion got dealt a serious suckerpunch today. Just wanna get on to the next...
That was shite. Some moments of brilliance which were outshone by an unwillingness to get forward and bang in goals. Seemed as if they had settled for a 2-1; not a great plan when the ref is as crap as he was. Disappointing is an understatement.
The Problem was we turned up expecting to knock 4 or 5 past a Blackpool side who aren't quite the mugs they were at the start of the Season. This was the general feeling amongst the crowd too , who seemed to moan at every little mistake. Amateur Goalkeeping cost us the points
Pope had a shocker for both goals. Bikey missed the easiest chance you'll ever see. Just so negative when we went 2-1 up. It was coming everyone could see it. Why why why are we so negative when in the lead.
Can't hide behind injuries. We had 8 out of 10 first choice out field players available. Okay we lost Coquelin at short notice which might have affected preparations but surely the obvious reaction was Bulot on the left and Cousins inside with Buyens. Cannot see the logic in moving arguably the best right back in the division into midfield so we can play a junior centre back at right back. Pardewesque team selection.
Did well to get ourselves out of trouble but then, by the sounds of it, sat back and suffered for it. How many times do you need to get burnt before you stop standing so close to the fire?
Sounded a familiar tale of lots of possession 40 yards from goal, but little penetration or final ball quality where it matters. I'm not sure how to fix it right now, but as I've said before, I'm not convinced the root cause is necessarily the strikers.
We have a manager who seems to learn less quickly from his mistakes than Harriot!
Garbage. Stopping sitting back defending when we go ahead, it doesn't work. 1 striker to start against the team cut off at the bottom and us at home.
In the last 4 mins we had two chances - why?, because they are very poor and we final had a go. Points dropped, should have won at a canter no matter what weaknesses we may have in our squad.
There is no way we will go down and at this point in the season to say that I guess it could be seen as progress from last season, but it's so frustrating that we don't turn these types of games into 3 points.

I have the feeling that the party is well and truly over and BP, us fans and the players desperately need a decent quality signing (or two!) in January otherwise I feel we will go into a depressing nosedive. A striker to support Vetokele (who seems to have also gone off the boil recently) is a MUST!.
Come on RD put your hands in your pockets and answer all our wishes. We are still only 5 points outside the playoffs after all!

Okay, we lost Coq and have a bit of an injury list - but at least play players in their best positions.
And be positive - don't tinker, Peeters!

Disappointing is an understatement.
we dont look like scoring we cant shoot
There were those saying that Blackpool were rubbish and we would hammer them and that people needed to get a backbone.
And those that had seen it all before and didn't exactly need a crystal ball to see something like this happening....
What the hell was Pope doing for the goals?

I'll blame jacko or fox again this week.
