Claridge is driving me mental, 100 minutes of being slagged off on 5 live. Perhaps they should just give the title to Bleeds and let the rest of us draw straws to go up.
I still don't think we have enough to stay in the top 2. We rely on Shelvey too much and whatever people say, Deon Burton isn't going to top the goalscoring charts this season.
[cite]Posted By: queensland_addick[/cite]Got to stop messing around with 4-5-1 at home and start really going at teams with two up top.
Sooner the better Colchester only a point behind us now and with a better goal difference (for some reason). Huddersfield are going to be tougher than this lot next week. Beat Exeter 4-0 today. Better than our 2-1!
Tuna scored his first goal during the week and must have been buzzing. Yet he decides to bring on McKenzie who hasn't played atall this season and has hardly trained. Tuna would have been buzzing and much more eagar to get on the scoresheet IMO.
Parky has done brilliantly, but he is falling into the over cautious trap and is being reactive rather than proactive. It has been obvious for a few weeks now that 4 5 1 (especially at home) is becoming less and less effective. We should not be worrying about playing teams at home, we are better than most of them and the onus should be on them to try to stop us from scoring. I thought the performance against Barnet may have proved the point to him, it seems unfortunately that it didn't. Perhaps the second half performance today may have.
The formation is very easy to work out. Soon as the opposition go like for like we seem to struggle as Shelvey gets no space. We lump useless balls up to Deon Burton who isn't exactly an ideal target man. I don't think we have an out and out goalscorer in the team which you need.
I think we will end up in a top 6 spot though and thats better than what I thought.

Any other team with 5 minutes injury time would be pumping balls forward and having chances. Not Charlton.
still no end result though!
At home, I definitely think so.
We might be a hard team to beat, but are we gonna win enough games to finish in top 2???
We need a good striker, Benzema where are you?
No win in 3...

Semedo the missing link?
I make that something like 1 defeat in 18 league games so not all bad!
