Post-match Thread: Swindon v Charlton | Sat 19 Dec 2020

Disappointing not to have held on for the win. Bogle equalised with a scrappy, fortuitous goal. Chuks came on to put us in the lead and we looked like comfortably in control. We bossed the second half, but seemed to lose impetus as the game fizzled out. They then scored the equaliser from a corner.

Over to you.

J BLOCK

Speechless.

Pathetic from Bowyer, this mob were at sixes and sevens at the back and we finish the game with 

                          Amos 

Matthews Gunter Pratley Pearce Purrington Maatsen Watson 

All on the pitch. Fuming.

Our last minute goals conceded have not been a coincidence for 2 seasons now. Am not happy at all with that. Somebody ask him why we finished the game with 4 full backs and a flat back 6. Awful tactics and showing dim or stubborn or arrogant side??

Curbs just said it the subs brought the pressure on...will he not learn

osteoaddick

We had so many chances to kill this off today. Washington rubbish. JFK poor, Maddison not digging in. Took another Ramilpril to get over watching this crap!

Tired of pub league insane management from Bowyer. 

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

lancashire lad

too defensive at the end and the inevitable goal against, sorry Bows poor subs again

charltonman2016

Pissed off again with Bowyer unfortunately. Shit management today. We are playing SWINDON not Barcelona and he goes all defensive 

RodneyCharltonTrotta

Disappointing result.  Was there to be won and should have brought Williams on rather than Matthews to occupy Swindon especially with tired legs.

Roll on the next one.

Missed most of the 2nd half due to the corona hysteria

Only a fool doesn't learn from his mistakes. 
I'm afraid Bowyer is fast becoming a fool.
Sandgaard will be expecting promotion this season. 
Down to you to deliver it Lee.
Stop making the same mistakes over and over. 

Laddick01

Lee hasn’t learnt. That’s what most alarming for me. 

Has happened time and time again and he still sets us up defensively when we take the lead.

Tactically, keeping Gilbey on for 90 minutes and not putting Faith in Williams, the guy that saved your arse last game is pathetic.

Im not Bowyer out, but this mentality won’t get us promoted. That’s when there will be questions.

Valleysarr

Why sit back again?????
defenders as subs??? Furious 

Croydon

Shit tactics, again. Nothing else needs to be said.

Its not all bad news, we are a point ahead of Accrington Stanley but they do have a game in hand.

SDAddick

Playing a team who I believe have lost four in a row, we finished the game in a 5-3-2 with two RBs, two LBs, one CB, two defensive midfielders (one playing CB), two strikers and a central midfielder. It's just so negative, especially for a side who looked vulnerable when we went forward. We just invite pressure onto us and all it takes is a flukey corner and two points are dropped. 

paulie8290

2 midfielders off
2 defenders on

All you need to say

Charltonparklane

Same shit, different Saturday against a bottom of the table side. 

Nonsense them subs today. 

Shambles. 

ProperCharlton

No need for the defensive subs and tactics against this lot. We would've seen the game out easily if we just kept it as it was.

If anyone defends Bowyer after that then they're mad. He has cost us a lot of points this season. End of.

Shrew

Why oh why don’t we learn, keep an attacking midfield on the pitch , we are not good enough defensively to invite pressure and defend a one goal advantage 

cafcfan1990

Predictable, defensive subs, sit back and concede. It's been a habit for over a year now

mattinfinland

Shit tatics, Bowyer again got it wrong, why are we going defensive when we look likely to kill the game before he goes 5 at the back

FishCostaFortune

Said it a couple of weeks ago. Fallen well and truly out of love with Bowyer's brand of football. 

We always look workmanlike, we always compete even when we lose games. But the positives stop their for me. With the quality we have the pitch, and how pedestrian Swindon were it should have looked like MK Dons against us. 

It didn't. 

I expect we will still win more than we lose, but I'm not sure if I can face a season of performances like this. 

DamoNorthStand

That was utterly abysmal from Bowyer today.

nobody can defend how he has approached that one. 

Talal

Getting rather predictable, not sure what's happened to Bowyer's mentality. 

MuttleyCAFC

If you have a tactic that always fails, why do you keep repeating it? Swindon were dog shite and if we tried to get a third we would have.

paulie8290

We scored 5 last week and Swindon had lost their last 4 before today.

Why are we sitting back for the final 20 minutes, why are we not pushing forward to get the 3rd and kill the game off, instead we just sit back and invite 20 minutes of pressure

carly burn

We are so predictable. Not for the first time you can tell how things will probably pan out in the first 10 minutes. If we don't start well we don't do well.

I know we went down early last week but it had a different feel to it.

DagenhamAddick

Lee Bowyer is not the guy to take us forward people he will stall the momentum that Thomas has brought to the club. This level of tactical negativity is so boring and also is beginning to look very predictable.

Uboat

Yes, Lee is a bit thick, but what sort of wanker includes Charlton in all of their weekend’s accas?

MattF

Should have won that comfortably, those defensive substitutions have cost us today and blown a good opportunity to gain a bit of ground on the play offs.

That ones on Bowyer and he needs to be grown up enough to admit that and not throw anyone else under the bus
