  • TC reminds me of a bedroom guitarist, can play incredible stuff by themselves but can’t sit in the groove of a band and serve the song.
    You're more a bedroom band kinda guy

    Thought TC and Kelman linked up well last night but it’ll clearly never be enough for some on here. 
  • First half was tremendous, the keeper looked like he was going to fold any time he was under any kind of pressure, so it's a shame we didn't make more of that. Over the 90 mins a draw was a fair result though.

    I know it's early and I know the point feels a bit disappointing but how nice does this look?



    Particularly as TC, Leaburn, Kelman, and Godden (granted he’s been out injured) haven’t notched a goal in the league, yet, I think it’s incredible, we are where we are.

    If you can get your strikers scoring, we’d be a lot higher in the table, probably in the top 6.

    If there all still on a low goals tally, maybe that’s where we need to invest in, in January?
    I doubt we have budget left to be honest, even if we did can’t exactly carry 6 strikers on the books, we have 4 very young strikers have to trust in Jones to develop them 
    Would help if they got some service. Problem is our set up negates that. TC cant deliver a cross & isnt really a wide man either. Bree is about the only player who can put a decent ball in the box.....but not helped by having Kelman& TC trying to finish it off. Carlton Morris would thrive in this team.

    Unfortunately we will just have to put up with the fact that we wont score many goals. Our defence is sound so shouldn't let in too many. Not a great watch tbh, but then we all wanted promotion and drawing away to Derby is a lot better than losing away to Burton....so it is what it is. 
    I think it's been a great watch golfie. We're 8th in the league, and have played some properly good football. And playing the Charlton way. 

    What are you expecting if you think it's not looked good mate? 


    It’s not a complaint because I’m very pleased to be  out of League One (hopefully for many years) but I don’t see how you can find it ’great to watch.’ I think that you’re too influenced by results if that’s your opinion.
    We have our moments of beautiful play like the build up to our goal yesterday, but otherwise we’re a team that play long balls in possession and bite at the oppositions’ heels out of possession. It creates a game of lots of stops and starts and generally attritional football.

    I’ve watched 4 games (Watford, Leicester,  Millwall, Derby (all on TV so far)) and there is little entertainment. The best was probably Millwall in this respect imo. As a spectator the feeling is akin to how Kelman probably feels playing. That’s probably the best way of describing how I feel actually: if we played to Kelman’s strengths then we’d be playing more free flowing on the ground football which is better to watch.

    That said, I just want us to stay up. If we did that by banging it 1000 miles into the air 60 times a match to get 0-0 draws, 46 points and stay up on GD then it would be job done for this and next season.
    I agree and think this was especially born out second half last night, as derby started to play slightly more flowing football and lots of ours looked tired. But I think we are very much a work in progress. Jones has a defence he can rely on, and now the midfield is getting stronger. I'm finding each game quite fascinating as we come up against varying levels of quality and it's all good experience to learn from. So far so good.
  • Also surprised to see negative comments about Agyemang, thought he looked a real handful and a player who could live up to his price tag. Thought we struggled physically for a change.

    Matt Clarke as well, what a player, best centre back we have come up against so far this season, you can see why Brighton took a plunge those years back.

    Not much to say for our boys, thought we looked tired, hopefully we look a bit more lively for Preston.

  • Good point on the road yes,
    I don’t know why Bree was taken off,
    as we needed a striker in the second half and should not rely on one goal leads.!

    Nice goal from Thierry Small yesterday too
    So what.🫤
    Exactly, so what.

    Anti-Nowhere League.
  • Weird night, Derby fans were very odd I thought outside the ground, you'd have thought they'd been relegated before kick-off. Not happy campers. 

    Managed to meet two of our players parents. 

    The first being none other than Carey's Dad. Someone was shouting at me "what a belter, you've been rumbled" from their car, assumed it was a Charlton fan but realised it was Sonny's Dad when he said "I just watched you online vlog my son's goal". Nice bloke 

    Then in the North stand Derby fan zone I ended up chatting to a group who I thought were Derby fans, who then revealed they were there to support Harvey Knibbs, two of the group later revealing they were his Mum & Dad, again, really nice people, especially Knibbsy's Mum. 

    As for the game, boring shite other than the Cheeseman's wonder slice. What a player. 

    Take the point away but disappointed not to get the win after Knibbs had such a clear cut chance, and Doch's later. Feel Preston will offer a much tougher test.
    We must have been at a different game, both teams had chances to win it, crunching tackles all over the park. I thought it was a great game. 
  • To be gutted with only getting a point away in the championship is a good sign of our progress. Agree that some of our players looked tired and thats hardly suprising following the shift they put in on Saturday. This weekend will be our most difficult game so far this season I think.
  • I like our style of football - close down from the front, work your bollox off, hunt in packs and don't dally about with it at the back - i barely watch what the opposition do but there's no way that Derby's football was any more sophisticated - lump it up to the big units up top or try and get down the wing and cross it in to them. Their most dangerous player was the fella who scored - he looked to have non league ability in general play.

    You could say that about a League 2 fixture. 

    Was a low quality game, worst I've watched of the season so far, just how it goes sometimes.
