Thanks for commentary Ross and for tweets stonemuse.

Hoping Holmes missing makes us less on dimensional. The players won’t be able to just give him the ball and hope he does some magic.

4' Bradley Dack wriggles away from a couple of Charlton challenges and Mark Marshall does well to block his cross. 0-0. #cafc

ross1

6mins: Williams with a cross from the left and Dack just can't make a clean connection in the area. 0-0

ForeverAddickted

Should be 1-0 Blackburn... too easy for Dack to get through our Defence, was really poor the way he took it

Come on Charlton.
Cheers Ross and Stonemuse

Bradford 1 up at Southend.

Leuth

Marshall lucky not to be booked for that. Pathetic

ForeverAddickted

If there was no contact then Marshall should surely have been booked as that was an awful attempt for a free kick else

The club have finally realised that I hadn't paid for Valley pass and have stopped me from accessing the live commentary.

14' Brilliant bit of play from Charlton ends with Dasilva finding Clarke on the edge of the box but he takes his shot early and it flies over. 0-0. #cafc

ForeverAddickted

If Dasilva dont make it in the Premier League then he is proof at what a shambles the loan market and youth level is here in England.

Already he's the best player on the pitch for me

Think it's a bit harsh on Dack, the chance came to him quickly through a bunch of bodies. Still, not great defending.

Marshall is a player who desperately needs to take one touch and cross it every now and then. We worked the free kick wide to him but defenders know they can be slow getting out to him because he's going to take two or three touches, even with 4-5 waiting in the middle. When you take that quick cross it forces defenders to get out to you faster, which allows him to knock it past them, something has had the pace for.
