Did you see how patient we were? Did you see that?
more uninspiring dross. The central midfield is a joke - has been since the first game of the season.
Botaka put a great shift in after coming on and needs to be starting now.
Same as last week and all the other weeks, Slade on the side line looks totally disinterested. Hands in pockets and shows no passion or encouragement.14 -
Need to win our 6 pointers.

Dullest game I've seen for ages. They were shocking us not much better.5

I think that was the most depressing victory I've ever seen.23

Just logged in after the match. What has happened deleting thread wise?
That aside.
Thought we did well second half and should have been the clear winners.
A win is a win1 -
Another 90mins of my life that I won't get back.
The displays are turgid crap. There is no pace or flair in the side at all.
Sitting bored out of your brain for the best part of 90mins week after week is pretty soul destroying.
We look reasonably solid defensively, but going forward we are shocking. Slade has to get Botaka in the team, he at least looks interested - unlike Lookman.
The issue is central midfield, whoever plays there is setting the team tempo. At preent the default tempo is slow/walking.
Its basically a big pile of crap, played out in front of a half empty stadium with no semblence of atmoshphere. It is so depressing being an addick right now.26 -
Only half empty mate it looked worse than that1
-
Lookman was pants, especially at corners.
Homes was better than everyone else.
Magennis battled again.
Everyone else was ehhh.
At least we won.0 -
First half was dreadful, second half much improved, and we were deserved winners.
It says a lot that two of their three most dangerous players (Gardner, Evans and Ayibri?) got subbed off.
Lookman was dreadful, he was getting bullied all match. Crofts got better as he went on; Ulvestad did the opposite. Botaka was a breath of fresh air.3 -
Had to work hard to grind out a bit of an ugly win but they all count.
Katrien the banner messages were clear. Maybe it's time for you to go and have a baby sweetheat.0 - Sponsored links:

I thought our crossing was pretty good today. Maybe a strategy focusing on getting the ball in from wide would be a decent stopgap until we work out something a bit more continental1

goals in the last five minutes in consecutive games show that at the very least we keep right on to the end (of the road) .. wasn't there so can't comment further .. except .. this win, any win will have greatly improved morale0

PWR.
A damp squib of a game, where the classic score against your old club event from an enthusiastic Lee Novak basically saved us. Before that we were heading to more points dropped against a very ordinary team.
OK both teams hit the post, Ajose ought to have scored a couple, and their keeper made a couple of good saves, but rip roaring it was not. neither was the banner protest I'm afraid, which didn't really pay off, but considering the other protests so far the disappointment was much less noticeable.
To say the game was average would be to overpraise it, it was ponderous, it was pedestrian, it was predictable and it was passionless.
It is to the credit of Holmes and Magennis, that with whatever limitations they have, they at least try to make a difference in games, for many others it is about going through the motions and playing percentages.
Players had moments, Lookman and the others, but that's what they were, only moments. I was desperate to see patterns, coherence, teamwork, energy and speed, but it was all rather negative and frankly boring. It was like going to a party expecting fine wine and fancy food, but when you turn up you get basic bread and water.
I suppose I should be grateful for three points until I consider the situation had we not won.12 -

As posted on the match thread :
Unfortunately , really couldn't care less what the result was today! With news of police action, dwindling attendances and what sounds like naff performances - I beginning to think the 'curse' has almost been broken!0 -
That must be one of the most depressing boring unexciting games I have ever been to, and I can't even raise enthusiasm for the fact we won.
I have never felt this way about Charlton, this is wrong in so many ways.7 -
Weren't great, first half was particularly meek. They persevered and got a win. I can't and won't get excited until we put together a run of about 5 wins on the spin. Not win today and follow that up with a point at the county ground.
I don't think we're good enough for promotion, but I expect nothing less Katrien. After all you said we turned the corner in the summer.....0 -
Been out working all day, so apologies for coming in so late, but have to ask given the curtailed match thread if anything exciting happen off the pitch with protests (given it sounds not much to write home about happened on it)0

Been looking at a uni at Bath Spa, sounds I picked a good one to miss, but we won, and as mad as it seems are 4 points of bottom 3 and 4 points off of play offs, crazy league0

Bath uni is the mutts mate we do loads of work there0

Piss poor papering over the cracks , Holmes decent cross for the goal maybe my pal fired u up while taking the corner but let's be honest your corners where piss poor till then , you got some stick but gave it back , alls fair , Slade Novak saved your Arse with that header , the team just ain't good enough , we badly need a player who is gonna drive us forward , how many of our midfielders get beyond our front 2 , we need a leader the team has no direction ,it worries me that a decent side would give us a hideing .0

Groundhog Day...
Please go Russell, we'll even hold the door for you.1 -
Probably need to hold a couple open to get him out.Spanish said:Groundhog Day...

Flat and boring match.Had 0-0 all over it,until Holmes ,who does try to make things happen,did a successful run and knocked it in to Novak to score.Lookman looked off the pace.Botaka looks a live wire,give him a longer go Slade.1

Am I alone in thinking we played quite well? Dominated possession and generally avoided pointless long balls towards Magennis. Were patient and eventually some magic from Holmes created the goal.
The move which played in Ajose in the first half was outstanding....6 -
Am I the only one who at first glance thought that Russell Slade was playing number 6 for Chesterfield?4

There were too many sideways passes and if Chesterfield were any better they would have punished us as they were strong going forward...newyorkaddick said:Am I alone in thinking we played quite well?

Like everyone else in the League; Teams just cannot score... Every team I've seen so far will struggle in the Championship2
