The idea that the reason for Stockley's poor form is that we're not playing to his strengths is a myth. Every time a cross has been put on his head this season he has fluffed it or headed straight at the keeper. Last night Kirk put in a perfect ball for Stockley to slide in at the back post and he just strolled in and made no attempt to tap the ball in.
His lack of ability to win a header, inability to do anything with the ball at his feet, inability to run, and generally awful positioning is the reason he has been so poor, not the system (which by the way has been changed to the system that allegedly suits him and was going to make him the excellent League One striker that he's never actually been).
Calling him the Posh Paul Benson would be overly polite.

At least Paul Benson scored occasionally.......
Very true. I’ll amend it to ‘The Posh Pawel Abbott’.
You are NOT denying a goal scoring chance because it is a penalty so it’s not red. Only outside the box it is red for denying a goal scoring chance. In box its yellow if you pulll him back or deliberately trip him. A red card for a foul is for using excessive force or violent conduct. In or outside the box How many yellow cards do you seen given for that challenge. the challenge on egbo very similar not even given as a foul the referees have been told to let more physical challengers go this season. They were both the same in my eyes.
If you are saying that’s a yellow card there should be a yellow card given out on every corner.
Sheff Wed have just drawn at home to Bristol Rovers after taking the lead. Loud boos at the final whistle which I can only assume was because they didnt beat a mid table team after taking the lead.
Said mid table team had managed a draw against the table toppers Plymouth on Saturday after going 2-0 down.....so have form for comebacks against better teams. Also their keeper was given MOTM for some spectacular saves, so its not like Sheff Wed didnt create anything (oh for seeing an opposition keeper having to make a worldy).
So I wonder what the SW fans would have made of last night if they had lost 2-0 to the worst team in the division, who had lost 5 on the trot, and then seen their team make the opposition keeper make just 1 save all night..
Sack cloth & ashes should be the order of the day down at Sparrows Lane.

We’d won the previous three games. Context is all. If we’d lost them, the 6,000 present would have booed the team off.
Boooing helps , we didn’t boooo at ht and got the rewards of that in the second half a good booo off and volley of abuse may have lifted their performance from completely inept to just shit and we’d have had a chance . Boooing is the way forward
Garner very level headed in his analysis, couple of digs at the ref though.
Sticking to his story like a tory politician Total refusal to accept he hamstrung the team from the start, has barely a plan A and nothing like a plan B, then fucked it up royally 2nd half:
Sean Clare is not really a full back, he's definitely not left sided - so Garner hangs him out to dry at left back Sean Clare is allowed all the possession he wants by Dons cos they can see he's impotent at left back - Garner has a proper full back on the field in Egbo and Clare has acquitted himself at right back previously but Garner's plan is the best innit? It's obvious Garner's plan ain't troubling the Dons but he sticks with it. Charlie Kirk has offered naff all ever, on the left but shows far better more centrally - so 2nd half he's posted out left Jack Payne has managed one cross in all his time in red and is as hopelessly one footed as many of his colleagues, he's never been a winger so Garner snuffs out the tiny chance this midget makeweight could provide anything positive by shoving him out on the right, never once playing the wider players on their natural sides - against a team that's parked the bus Jes Rak-Sakyi was worrying the dons on the right in the first half - so Garner moves him central to accommodate the inept Payne on the right
Inniss concedes a typically needless booking early 2nd half and goes to pieces, giving the ball away with every touch. But with a CH on the bench, or even Clare as an alternative at the back, Garner leaves Inniss on for the inevitable second booking. The penalty might have been debatable but Inniss's departure was beyond doubt.
Still no JFC in the matchday squad - McGrandles is a Sunday pub team reserve player at best, the ball bounced off him repeatedly yesterday he never got near a white shirt but "JFC's non-selection is on merit" lying bastard.
Garner "the penalty changes the game" That has to be a flat out lie, if Garner believes any bit of that at all he's a moron. He set us up to fail against the worst team in the division. Dons parked the bus. Beating them wouldn't necessarily be easy but losing to them is a disgrace. Lying about how that was achieved is reprehensible.
The jury's in on Garner - he's an overpromoted delusional clown.
Send out a team with that many square pegs in round holes against Ipswich and they'll rack up a record score - that will be painful but it will at least prod Skintgaard into action. We're up the shittiest of shitty creeks, in a leaky tub with no paddles, no rudder and a deluded ninny standing up in the middle telling us it's not him rocking the boat.
See y'all Saturday FFS
Can you please type these unhinged rants into a word document entitled MY THOUGHTS next time and spare us all

I’d love to be able to line and lol that at the same time. Brilliant.
You're welcome You should have seen the version that erupted Tuesday evening. A few hours sleep and a mug of tea saved it from being totally NSFW
I am probably alone but I miss Purrington. Quality division 1 left back no frills and solid.
Me too. At least he was a left back unlike everybody we’ve played there this season.
Also please stop this fannying around at the back tapping it back and forth.
I agree, I’m sick to death of watching sideways/backward/sideways/sideways oooops we’ve lost possession 20 yards from goal. We’re 3rd division Charlton FFS, not bloody Barcelona.

Most of us feel that way. Ever since Pep came over we now have this yank obsession with stats.
Sick of watching it. On Tuesday the Don's never closed us down until we were on the halfway line. We still passed it back and forth amongst the back four even though there was no prospect of drawing them on.
