Matthews and Maatsen are definitely defensive fullbacks. Matthews especially. Would you rather have anyone else in this league facing down a winger one on one?
6' Millar squares for Schwartz in the box, but he can't get a toe on it.
It had been a bright start for Charlton before that goal, with Aneke directing a shot narrowly wide just beforehand.

Beyond frustrating how easy that was, Matthews may as well claim an assist for that. I'll have to see it again but think Amos could have done better. Where is the cover as well? So many solo runs have been successful by other teams cutting in against us.
I have always said Matthews first touch and going forward always good but he CANNOT DEFEND - a lot of the time he is not even in the right position. This time he was but he dived in and got beaten easily - watch how many goals we give away on that side when he plays !

Proper woeful defending
Someone posted yesterday that last time we won from going 1-0 down in a regular league game (not play -offs) was against Luton in 2019.
I can see 5 o’clock already.
