Listened to the 2nd half on the radio. Appears we battled and tried to play some football but without creating much against a very strong side which cost a fotune compared to ours.
Still disappointing and we are still down with the deadmen.
True grit required without the injection of money for a striker. Roll on Tuesday . Jackson's lack of hitting the target at free-kicks possibly the difference today?
We defended pretty well, but nothing going forward whatsoever - QPR hardly broke sweat at the back. On the face of it an unlucky defeat given the one off nature of the goal, but had the feeling QPR could have stepped up a couple of gears if they really wanted to.
Need to get the contracts sorted out, we looked flat - missing the never say die Charlton spirit that propelled us last season.
If this takeover doesn't happen then I fear for our future. We urgently need some more quality going forward & to actually score some goals. We are already looking around trying to identify 3 worse teams.
Not really sure how we did. Every time I log on to CAFC Player I'm hoping it's not Emma commentating. She doesn't seem to realise we're receiving an audio not visual media. In terms of result a defeat is never good but think I can live with this one against one of the top sides. The right result against Donny (what with the contoversy) could give us a boost.
Never going to pull away from the bottom three un less we can sign a quality goalscorer.
12 in 15 games is really poor and only Yeovil have scored fewer. The run of clean sheets partially disguised the problem for a while, but I think we all knew it wasn't going to last against sides like Leeds and QPR.
More concerned about the harsh here-and-now of staying in the championship than speculating about a move to the Greenwich Peninsula in a few years time, to be honest.

was the only plus point for me this week, getting to watch the game instead of her wretched "commentary"
Anyone who doubts should listen to the lead up to Austins goal, listen to Emma for say 15 seconds before it. I am sorry Emma but you are as bad as Jamie Reid, is it not your job to describe the play for the listener?
as expected .. what can you expect against a side that cost millions to assemble and has even more millions available under the golden parachute ? .. it sounds like a gutsy performance .. our tactics seem to have reverted to negativity .. we need to attack more .. yes we are short on strikers but do not utilise enough what we have

Even when she does try to give us some clue as to the goings on on the pitch she is far too slow to describe what's going on, more often than not getting tongue tied. So frustrating to listen to.
On the way home, we did ok but only a few half chances. Difference is Church had one shot, weak and straight at Green. Austin on the other hand....wonder strike!!! Green did make one good save from long range in the first half but overall we did not threaten. Tuesday will be better.
Didn't go. Didn't follow on here. Simple equation. If we don't do something about the lack of goals we will go down. We'll win the next two though - i'm on holiday.

Sounds as if we gave a good account of ourselves today, but the shortage of goals has become a real concern.
So frustrating we don't have the quality in the final third that other sides have. Must win game on Tuesday

Lack of goals a real problem, could not see where one was going to come from today.

Any points today would have been a bonus. Big games coming up in the next month or so, Doncaster, Yeovil and Sheff Wed.
Pritch and Wilson looked really shaky on the right to me, glad Powell made the change early on
