Stephens should have done better with a chance second half and as Airman says above Pritch should have also.
We battled but let Austin get a shot away too easily for his goal, good strike though it was.
Church is just not up to it, tries his best so you can't fault him but offers very little threat at all. We desperately need a couple of strikers.
I had to sit with the QPR fans today and was almost sat on the pitch and on the lap of the bloke next to me the ground is so small ! Two bob club who got lucky with a rich owner who seems to be keen to spunk a lot of money away.
We won't get relegated because of a defeat to QPR away.
Just back, we huffed and puffed but pritch snatching at the only real chance aside didnt look like scoring. They have quality throughout and though they didnt play particularly well looked capable of going up a gear. Forgot how poor the stadium was both amenities and atmosphere.
Bigger games to come for us but whilst we were not outplayed today I see the need for some fresh blood in the squad if we want to compete as opposed to try and survive in this league
I knew it wouldn't be our day when Church was outpaced to a ball by Clint Hill. Not sure they had another gear, they kept coming inside which we coped with well.
They were there got the taking today, we lacked quality at vital moments. Created couple of chances and when they came we were not composed enough. Powell set his stool out for a point but was positive early with subs. Cannot be too disheartened as the boys tried and we failed against a team of premier league players The challenge is to make sure we apply that level of commitment on Tuesday
Can't see Pritchard starting next game, he was really poor. Not for the first time this season!
Pritchard has had twice as many chances as Danny Green messed them all up and still DG does not get the chance, Powell sees something in Pritch no-one else does I am sure he will start Tuesday
Pritch had a stinker but let's remember he was up against a Cameroon international that was playing champions league 3 years ago. He played there to limit his attacking play which he did but when he had the ball I agree, looked out if place
If you told Pritch 2 years ago he would be playin against assou- ekoto he would have had hissy fit, proper Charlton player love his commitment, it's all you can ask for.
Another toothless display, and another London derby loss on CP's record.
No doubt Church and Sordell will get 8's and 9's in the player marks thread for their "endless running and chasing" - but we will be relegated if they are asked to play a major part in the team any longer.
We look seriously short of ideas when we have the ball - it's only a matter of seconds before we pass back to Hamer.

Just being realistic.
I agree with Sordell being useless but lets face it he was only on for 7 minutes today. Have to disagree with what you said about Church IMO if you have Church and a fully fit Yann together we will score. Doubt we will get relegated there are at least 4 teams worse than us Yeovil, Donny, Wendies and Barnsley again IMO
Posting without reading. We were set up for another defensive away performance and seemed comfortable until a moment of £4m finishing from Austin well into the first half. Having to chase the game with the personnel who started was never going to be easy and so it proved with QPR looking comfortable and had the luxury to bring on Shaun W-Phillips who hit the bar after some sublime skill which left our defenders for dead. The chances we did have were wasted by Pritchard and Stevens and not until Yann entered the field of play on the hour did we offer any threat. Not overly impressed with QPR but they have that little bit of quality and didn't need to over exert themselves to bag all the points. Good away support loud and proud. Onto the 6 pointer Tuesday when hopefully Yann will start COYR
There is a lack of quality in the right half / wing area. Pritchard may not be the right player but Danny Green isn't either. Danny Green gives little support to the right back and leaves them exposed.
This is particularly important with Lawrie Wilson at right back, who is pretty average in this position. We miss Chris Solly at right back.
We have a lack of quality up front particularly when KMG is not at his best.
I do find it tiring, when every defeat leads to a call from some for CPs head. There is limited quality and resources he is working with. Why does a 1-0 defeat to a minted team like QPR lead to this ? If he had half the resources of QPR, a decent striker, right half and more back up in defence when would be in and around the top 6.
If you told Pritch 2 years ago he would be playin against assou- ekoto he would have had hissy fit, proper Charlton player love his commitment, it's all you can ask for.

Concourse was a nightmare couldn't move
What a poor ground to get in and out of as well for a ground that hosted prem football last season I was very disappointed.
1 more thing well done to the travelling Addicks great noise through the whole game.

All about next two home games a minimum of 3 points required
Never realistically gonna get anything from the hoops.
Mate said he saw Yann and Dervite on tube on the way home in track suits
0% top half ......... 63% 13th-21st .......... 37% relegation
Tuesday is a proper 6 pointer

John Robinson / Shane Newton / Graham Stuart could all compete strongly.
Pritchard is well down the list of concerns
