Sullivan - 6 - Made a good save , could he have stopped both goals? probably notFrancis - 3 - Did himself a favour by be subbed at half time , looks very short on confidence and abilityDoherty - 6Cort - 5 - Maybe i've called this one wrong , but for me i would have preferred Mambo & Doherty at the back Evina - 6 - ok but not as good as when he played v ReadingGreen - 7 - Few nice touches , corners near missesPritchard - 7.5Hughes - 5.5Bover - 5 - Didn't impose himself on the game , Still early days a long long way to goEuell - 5.5 - Dissapointing , poor game by his standard , 1 or 2 nice touchesBenson - 5.5 - Subbed at half time , hard to gauge , didn't look sharp / match fit Mambo - 6Wagstaff - 6.5 - Looked livelyPopo n/a - 6 - Not enough time
Sullivan 6 - No chance with goals but heart in mouth on many of his kicks
Francis 1 - I cannot recall a worse performance by a Charlton player in my 30+ years of supporting the club. Felt sorry for him, he knew it. Shame because he was so much improved v Reading.
Doherty 6 - Usual fare
Cort 7 - Decent enough debut.
Evina 7 - Lively but struggled to get forward
Green 6 - Looked a bit out of touch
Pritchard 7 - Really like this guy
Hughes 6 - Efficient, nothing more. Needed him to lead the midfield against an unfamiliar formation, but didn't.
Bover 6 - Good and not so good from him. Felt a little out of his depth at times, and then produced the occasional magic. Not up to the physical stuff yet.
Euell 6 - As with Hughes, needed him to show some leadership but not a great game
Benson 6 - We never played to his strengths today, lacked sharpness
Mambo 6.5 - No pace but did ok in unfamiliar position, gave him an extra .5 for that.
Wagstaff 7.5 - MOM I think, pace, energy, skill, and the only player who looked genuinely dangerous all game.
(I think I might have been a little generous but what the heck, we went top tonight)
Sullivan 6. Did well in a difficult game.Francis 5 Not helped in first half by his right winger. Doherty 7 Did well.Cort 6 Not too bad first game.Evina 5 Keeps hold of the ball too long.Green 5 still looked unwell, didn't help his right back out at all!Pritchard 6 tried hard. Hughes 5 Ok. Difficult to lead this unfamiliar formation.Bover 5 Ok. Needs to get more physical.Euell 5. Off side too many times. Maybe players not releasing the ball early enough.Benson 6 tried hard. Mambo 7 Wagstaff 9 Ran his socks off. Can take a good corner too!
Sullivan 5 - looked nervous and hesitant Francis 3 - nightmare Doherty - okay but very slow Cort 7 - strong but not fit Evina 7 - reasonable performance - got forward well in first half Green 5.5 - not great Pritchard 5 - apart from one goal effort very little involvement Hughes 5 - poor leadership Bover 6 - very lightweight Euell 5 - strength, but no pace and caught offside too often Benson 6 - fair but little service
Mambo 6 - did okay as right back Wagstaff 7- looked lively when he came on
Sullivan 6 - Brave but lacking match sharpness. His reaction after the 2nd goal gave the impression he thought he could've saved it.
Francis 5 - A couple of dicey moments but very strong in the air and DID make some good tackles. Not helped by having Green and Pritchard as his nearest two midfielders.
Doherty 7- What did he do wrong? Won 99% of his headers, got in first and didn't get skinned.
Cort 7 - Same as Doherty. Both looked very solid.
Evina 6 - Tried very hard and showed some pace late on to get back. Looks to have potential and will be ok with some match practice.
Green 6 - Lack of matches showed but he was starved of the ball for long periods. One great tackle & burst in the 2nd half spoilt by a final lack of decisiveness.
Pritchard 5.5 - Miles off the pace in the 1st half and left Hughes on his own. Not knocking his effort and he did get better as the game wore on. He'll have learnt a lot.
Hughes 6.5 - Started very well and looks to have a good touch. A Semedo type player who will never get too far forward but he'll do for me. Good footballer and a good attitude.
Bover 6 - Definite potential and another one who never gave up. Not easy playing out wide for Charlton last night and gave it his best shot.
Euell - 5 Caught off-side too much but had almost zero service. Good that he played 90 minutes.
Benson - 6 Was competing ok against two good centre-backs. Wonder if that will be his last appearance for Charlton?
Mambo - 6 Won his headers and did his best. Was helped through it by Cort who was continually guiding him.
Wagstaff - 7 We looked better when he came on and did his best to make something happen. Didn't like his petulant wave of the hand towards the bench when he was asked to go back to right midfield when Popo came on. Works hard but needs to grow up.
Sullivan 5 Doesn't look anything special and beaten from long range. Did take a whack in the gob early on.
Francis 4 Poor and lost his head. Was looking odds on for a sending off (my in-game text to Baron Paolo will prove that that's not hindsight) and was rightly subbed off. Will not have impressed any potential suitors in the stands
Doherty 6 Did a job, old pro style
Cort 6 Looked fairly comfortable on his debut. Nearly won me my last goal scorer bet with a late header.
Evina 7.5 my MOTM. pace, good defending, often appeared on the other side to try and make something happen, play the ball on the ground to try and start moves. Ready for the league bench at least as another option on the right.
Green 4.5 Heard so many times how he has to replace Waggy. Not on this showing. recovering from illness maybe but poor crosses and dead balls and just never got going
Pritchard 6 As he is when coming on in the league. Energy high but got muscled out a bit
Hughes 6 Thought he was steady and showed good touch. Another old pro doing his job.
Bover 5.5 tried hard but little impact. Still early days and will improve
Euell 5.5 Not help but endless high balls but not that good when he did get the ball
Benson 5 Never really in the game. Like Green coming back from injury and didn't look sharp. Hayes a shoe-in on this performance
Mambo 6 Shakey start out of position but grew into game. Needs games out on loan
Wagstaff 7.5 Would have been man of the match if played all game. Changed us totally upfront and did more in his short spell wide left than Green did all game. Usual direct running and had two good chances to score. One great save from a long range volley, other hit the post.
Popo n/a Only on a few minutes and was flattened before he's even touched the ball.
