The Addicks travelled to East Anglia in search of a chance to redeem themselves against a Peterborough side that is ten points above them in the table. It was a game of two halves, literally both crap. We had the best of the first half, where Peterborough looked a shadow of the team their league position suggests, but our performance was certainly not dominant. Peterborough actually had the best chance of the half and would have gone into halftime one goal to the good if not for Ashely Maynard-Brewer’s quick reactions to tip the ball around the post. We had the better part of possession, but our leading line proved too blunt to pierce the Peterborough goal (or even test it in any meaningful way).
The second half wasn’t any better. The defining moment occurred when Rak-Sayki was brought down and the Peterborough defender kicked out at him. Young Jes threw a jab in reaction and it seemed we were likely to go down to ten men. Ultimately, it was the Peterborough man that was issued his marching orders, with Rak-Sakyi lucky to see yellow. The state of play deteriorated from there. A scrappy game became more scrappy.
No need to labour the point. Holden made positive substitutions, but it wasn’t enough simply because we’re not good enough.
Peterborough 0 Charlton 0

Thanks Matt, you've helped carry on the momentum hugely37 -
Great point on the road - BOOM0

A dreadful lack of quality in this Charlton team. Poor ball control, awful passing, wayward shooting. Lazy challenges and stupid offsides and fouls compound the shortcomings. Rak-Sakyi a very lucky boy avoiding a red card for taking a swing at their guy.
Defensively we were solid enough but poor all over otherwise, with a rare honourable mention for Jack Payne, who did pretty well.
Would have taken a point before the game but that is indisputably two points dropped.

Might be the worst game of football this season. Get some points and get rid of some shocking players in the summer.3

It’s what is to be expected, W10, D11, L12, F45, A46.

Just woke up dreading a heavy loss, so a point against a form team, ending the losing run, is much more than I expected.3

A44, thank you very much! +1 GD, not -1. :-)eaststandmike said:It’s what is to be expected, W10, D11, L12, F45, A46.

Not many teams will get anything from a 10 man Peterborough. Judge us when we play the Fleetwoods, Cheltenhams and Bristol Rovers of this world...21

Anyone able to let Macauley bonne know what the offside rule is please10

I've been less than happy with Holden lately, but he tried to grind out a win tonight but our players are really just bang average. I get that 10 man opposition can be awkward, but the passing .....the crosses into the box.....poor decision making. FFS, and then Penney, looking about a comfy as a giraffe on roller skates.
Away point, I'll take it, but shit....13 -
Yeah, we had lots of dross out there. But another faultless game from everyone's favourite large man! The future's RYAN everyone.
Sessegnon has more footballing ability than most of the rest of them combined. And he's merely a decent attacking full-back8 -
I miss Garner.
At least he was honest about the lack of investment. Holden is too busy begging for a contract to slate the ownerships.6 -
Someone please take that Charlton shirt off Penney……….absolutely blagging a living5

But who really expected anything less from Ipswich's third choice left back?DDOUBLEE said:

Awful awful awful.We had a decent defensive platform, but the further up the pitch we got, the worse we were.
No quality. Terrible first touch. Inability to shoot.Hector improved on last week.That’s my lot.5 -
expected a heavy defeat so that’s a positive for me4
-
Holden looks a very frustrated man who is rapidly realising his role is a poison chalice .

Deano can certainly talk a good game in the after match interview, how we didn't beat that lot with 11 or 10, they were there for the taking, and we let off another team, and seem pleased with another "clean sheet"..ffs, couldn't give a shite about the clean sheet, they were never gonna score, but sad as it is neither were we on the night...
Anyway, Plymouth will be a piece of piss i'm sure..anyway, Deano sounded like it will be, and on that I say good night...1 -

Clarke-Harris was born 21 July 1994. Where was Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink 9 months previous?10 -
Frustrating night. We looked better, but we could have played all night and not scored. The highlights: pre-match drinks in a real ale bar on a boat; best ref of the season; the chant to the rabbity mascot, "you can stick your fucking carrot up your arse". There were no footballing highlights.12

Offer me a clean sheet against Plymouth now and I'd take it in a heartbeat.eastterrace6168 said:Deano can certainly talk a good game in the after match interview, how we didn't beat that lot with 11 or 10, they were there for the taking, and we let off another team, and seem pleased with another "clean sheet"..ffs, couldn't give a shite about the clean sheet, they were never gonna score, but sad as it is neither were we on the night...

Looks bit different there!0

Heavy touch had a great game.
Pretty dire from both teams, we didn't look threatening at all with some of the worst shooting seen.
Fraser and Bonne the worst performers, Payne close behind but he at least improved in the second half if only to maintain our "busy but no goal threat" policy.
A point away is great but after playing so long against 10 men, to not look like scoring or even look comfortable isn't a great sign of the amount of work needed in the summer.
Again, we're just an inconsistent team full of inconsistent players who largely, aren't good enough.1 -
I don't know what was worse: the quality of that match or having Peterborough lumped in with East Anglia by @LoOkOuT.9

At work, just got back in off plant and thought have a quick peek at the score. Saw 0-0 and thought not bad, then came on here and read the comments.
We just don't look like scoring...0
