in General Charlton
Anyone else wonder what he's actually doing for there second goal yesterday? His awareness of the player running behind him was shocking. Someone HAS to give him a shout or he has to presume that there will be another player running into the massive gap of space he created. Didn't even look once!

    I haven't seen the goals again yet on the tv, maybe your right, maybe your not, there were a lot more performances worse than his yesterday , we could have got walloped.

    I think there was 3 or 4 players at thought for that no-one wanted to put a tackle in

    Only one player at fault and that was Danny Green.

    Gave the ball away in midfield and they broke on us when we had players up the pitch.

    They used the extra men well, passed it quickly and a Man Utd Loanee finished it well but all because of Green

    Green gave the ball away and made zero effort to chase back and win it back. He is a show pony who is nowhere near Championship standard.

    Watching the hi-lights I also questioned why Wilson was so far out of position but I guess he was overlapping looking for a pass from Green.

    Spot on Henry however it was imaterial IMO because I don't think we'd would have scored had we still been out there now.

    I dont think it can be one players fault if he loses the ball in there half, as mentioned above, 3 or 4 players had the opportunity to put a foot in and they didn't. Really poor from us

    I honestly do not see this? They didn't have much going forwards at all, the whole of the second half was basically us attacking and Randolph booting the ball as high as he could before we would attack again.

    I was actually honestly surprised by Morrison's passing ability this match, I thought he looked pretty assured on the ball for once. Might have helped with Poyet playing so deep I guess.

    Agree Clem, Green was still in their half when they scored.

    As you say Wilson and others were committed forward.

    Redchaser, you may be right but at 1 - 0 we still had a slim chance. At 2 - 0 it was game over.

    Seriously worried about Charlton. Lose Saturday and I can't help but think it's season over

    and Wood - really miss Solly and Wiggins

    Green gave the ball away and was at fault, Poyet, with a bit more experience would have taken their players feet away and accepted a booking and whoever the defenders were let the guy drift past them too easily.

    Their 2nd was started by us, assisted by us and ended by a United player.

    Sorry mate got to disagree Wood needlessly gave away a free kick for their goal and both he and Morro failed to deal with the resulting ball in, which Incidentally if those defending the keeper watch the the replay comes and then retreats as the ball gets near him! A recurring fault in the previous two matches I have witnessed with balls in the air, which creates doubt and uncertainty in his fellow defenders minds. Come back Hamer and if Thuram hopes to be The French number 2 or 3 at the World Cup god help them if the first choice keeper gets injured. Regarding Morro I like him as a defender but in forward areas or on the ball coming out of defence he can be a liability and it never ceases to amaze me why ball playing midfielders give the ball to a CB to make the play, deal with it yourself ffs.

    Henry in a 'digging out a player' scandal for once.
    Things must be bad!

    Poyet could and should have brought adiyemi down and taken a yellow although I'm not suggesting it's his fault, MM could have done better as well.

    I think Morrison has been poor all season and always looks like making a mistake to me. Gets away with it a lot because he's not one of the typical scapegoats. Missed Cort badly this season.
  • HartleypeteHartleypete
    I guarantee if it had been the other way around, a Birmingham player would have fouled our player before he got any where near our area.

    Be honest though Henry you've never been a Green fan from when all the comparison debates between him and your love child Waggy were in full swing :-)

    I agree. If big Leon was fit, him and Wood would definitely be my 1st choice partnership. Big shame that we most probably won't see him in a CAFC shirt again.
  • charltonkestoncharltonkeston
    Green lost ball true enough but the Birmingham player/s had over half of a crap pitch to run before slotting home.
    In my book that was either a fine goal or a collective balls up. I would have thought a bit of a challenge from a defender should of happened. If a winger (i think thats what Greenie is) loses the ball 65 yards from your goal line and cover is a bit light at the back someone normally takes out the player on the ball, you might have to take a card but you then defend a free kick in the middle of the pitch. Just like the first goal lack of awareness and not being switch on.

    The undroppable Morro. Saying that I do think he's decent at times although he's prone to a big error

    Its a wonder that Green is still with the club and not languishing in League 2.

    I would haver liked to see Poyet take a yellow fir the team but that is harsh criticism of a lad making his debut at home and who played exceptionally well

    You can't fault Morrison's commitment to the cause, his effort or his bravery.
    I think it is his positional sense which lets him down a bit and IMO that is what separates the very best centre halves from the rest.
  • The Red RobinThe Red Robin
    Green was at fault for giving the ball away but then Wood had two opportunities to either win the ball or take the player out. Maybe Morrison could have done this as well but Wood was just jogging alongside him and watching.
  • ValleyTalkBlogValleyTalkBlog
    Morrison definitely got sucked in when he should have been watching Macheda. As others have said, plenty of others to blame for that goal too.
  • SexyDaveSexyDave
    Morrow was on a yellow too remember. Thought poyet should have taken the player out and accepted a yellow. Had a good game though.
