To think I could have spent.17 quid on this and would not yet have had the pleasure of standing in line for 40 mins for a half pint of cloudy John Smiths at half time.
Watching iFollow, we look comfortable on the ball yet haven't really created much. A better pass by Dasilva may have made the difference when he put Holmes through.
Need that second goal and being Charlton, a third.
Started well, good shot by Fosu that the keeper shouldn't have let in at near post. After about 15 minutes or so our passing game completely broke down and Donny had a good strike on a break. Poor half of football all round with an even poorer display from the ref.
Never seen offside given the wrong side of the halfway line before. Fosu booked for diving, their player got nothing for a blatant dive. Inconsistent league one refereeing strikes again.
Terrible referee. Gives offside and lets them take the free kick in our half, lets them take throw ins from where they like, amount of shirt pulling on Mag right in front of the ref who is blind as a bat. After the goal it all went scrappy and some of our passing was piss poor. Good goal though.
1st 15 minutes Donny couldn't string two passes together. After that it's Charlton that have appeared to be struggling. They've looked poor up front, fortunately. Was watching on ifollow, about 7 minutes behind real time, it seems. But on the stroke of half time we've had a power cut. May try the 4g tethering but don't think it'll be quick enough.
What an absolute muppet this referee is. Some shocking decisions in that first half.
Doesnt surprise me... there are some people along from me in the East who were having some banter with the ref during the warm ups - Ref was loving it and responding, thought them the game with him would go one of two ways; either he'd be one of these good refs or one who felt the game was all about him
Many there today? Club has been pushing me hard to buy a ticket - got both e-mails and, very unusually, a text asking begging me to buy a ticket.
No. Unless today's a designated Fancy Dress Day and thousands have come as red plastic seats.
Can't pass too much comment on the Covered End as I can only see my block (almost empty) and the block next door. The East Stand doesn't look too bad, the West is sparcely populated, and Donny have got a couple of hundred here.
Not a great half but still go in 1-0 up. Kept our defensive shape well plus a couple good saves from Amos.
We need to just settle a little and put our foot on the ball. The front three have struggled to maintain possession. Holmes has drifted in and out and Billy Clarke has been completely anonymous.
If we can have give minutes of possession at the start of the half it should settle our nerves a bit.
Dreadful game. Ref making it worse. If we crank it up we’ll get a few. But if we don’t we’ll get caught out. Too many just not on it today. Strange atmosphere. Like a friendly.

Hoping to see Reeves in the second half
Game hasn't really flowed and the rate we're going at will finish around 7.
Can't see us holding out unless we improve....
Fair enough Fosu MAY have dived for his pen attempt but why was there no yellow for Marquis when he took went down?
Definitely the latter

Great strike from Fosu.
