Look on the bright side 2 shots on target and one less goal conceeded. That's a definite improvement.......Also, Charlton are able to concentrate on the league, and by the look of it, every scrap of energy is going to be required to retain league one status with the current squad.
Well done to the SMT, and congratulations Katrien on your new position which I think requires your club to be in above conference level? Think about that.
For the first time I am starting to have a real fear that I might not be able to watch league football at The Valley for more than two or three more seasons.
Slade needed to get off to a good start to relieve a bit of pressure. Atmosphere at home games will be toxic soon rather than protests. The young and new players won't handle it and the old guard will be fed up. This is gonna be horrible.

Agree,
Two away games to settle and get the season running but wasted.
Now we go into first home game under pressure and even if we do sign players they won't be up to speed.
The result is not a surprise. This what happens when there is abysmal organisation off the pitch, rubbish pre season and half a squad. The utter morons who own & run this club think that a team with no width, no creativity or pace in midfield and Roger Johnson on the pitch is good enough. If things don't change Charlton will find themselves in League Two. Abject describes the current situation & plan at Charlton.
How can Richard Murray look any Charlton supporter in the eye ? How can Meire continue to smirk and say that Charlton is a well run club ? Duchatlet continues to ignore reality & this will send the club into league 2.

If you include the two games in Austria we have scored 2 goals in 630 minutes of football. Those games include the footballing super powers that are Leyton Orient, Bury and Cheltenham. They also include an unknown Israeli team and a Dutch side who have conceded 200+ goals in 3 seasons.
I moaned all through pre-season that the midfield was poor. Unfortunately the chickens are coming home to roost here. Any central midfield partnership that we put out at the moment is static, pedestrian and utterly devoid of creative nous. Until Slade is allowed to do something about the chronic lack of quality in central midfield we are going to struggle.
I didn't want Crofts or Foley and on what I've seen so far, frankly I am amazed that Slade went to war to get Crofts.
Can't comment too much on tonight, but it sounds similar to Saturday in that we have had a fair bit of the ball and looked completely blunt.
Two mobile midfielders have to be the priority now, along with another striking option.
Whilst we flounder and continue to play the likes of Hanlan and Konsa we are again risking their development. Very easy to set a youngster back by exposing them to crap we are seeing at the moment.
Fully expecting more cliched soundbites from Slade afterwards and no additions to the squad before Saturday.
If it goes wrong on Saturday, it won't be infront of many, but it has the potential to turn very nasty.
It is a total shambles on and off the pitch at the moment and I have a feeling it is going to get worse.
If there was ever an indication that absolutely nothing has changed, it is Lookman playing this whole game because there were scouts there and it was window display time. And yet he only played 20 mins v Bury. Who names your team Russell, because it does not look much like it is you. And IF by some miracle it is, exactly what are you doing?

Surely ... SURELY ... he wouldn't have agreed to come unless he had autonomy over team selection? Appreciate he may have been sold a pup re transfers, but he can't have been so desperate not to have demanded control of the playing XI

Utterly shameful.
You mean this could actually get worse?
