* Presume it is much worse than that, but can't find individual stats for National League and below. But note that no team in the National League has above four cards as an entire squad, while Innis has four to himself.
Of which one was rescinded! And c'mon, it's part of the charm. Vieira and Keane!
Ahhh ehhh whatever. Bet Holden puts him straight back in the side when he's available
I wouldn’t mind if Innis had a fingernail of the talent Keane and Viera had.
Can see why we lost…if I were Holden I would be seething but he’s blasé about the game…worrying
We don’t know what was said in the dressing room after the match or whether he’ll sleep on it and rip into them when they turn up for training. We know from the Oxford game that he can lose his sh1t when he needs to. His demeanour for the post match interview was just for the camera I reckon preferring not to call out players in public 😉.
I like the way Inniss does the arm out “pointy” thing, directing the game from a distance like he reads the game so perfectly! Please take a permanent leave of absence.
He does seem to get sent off when the chips are down I've noticed. Can't mentally apply himself against lads running rings and probably provided a few verbals is my guess why!?
45 lifers predicted us to lose today. The squad simply isn't good enough. We were never going to run a team close that's top of the league, at home, and needs the points. It was depressing, but we know no more now than we did before... there are too many sub-standard players in the squad, not enough who will stand up and be counted. I'm not blaming Holden for today as it's hard to see what else he could do with that lot. But unless we have a major squad overhaul we'll have another season of this. Incredible that we're not challenging the top teams since we improved our squad so much after last year's debacle by spending... err... nothing.
As for the 2 lifers who predicted us not to lose... full marks for optimism...

He’s not directing the game. He is pointing out his next victims.

Everyone likes to call him a psycho or whatever but none of his reds this season have been for violent conduct or serious foul play
Special mention for Hector. For years I had rated Miguel Llera away at Colchester in a 3-0 defeat the worst performance I had ever seen from a CAFC central defender. Hector has trumped him. He looked like he was on smack for most of today.
There was a humiliating gulf in class between the teams, both in and out of possession. We were wobbly and panic-stricken at the back and the lack of pace, athleticism and game management of Fraser and Morgan in midfield were brutally exposed by Morsy and his colleagues.
Ipswich were a couple of yards faster and much, much sharper than us. We afforded them acres of space in midfield, barely won a 50/50 all afternoon and let them cut through us like a hot knife through butter. To compound matters, we repeatedly conceded possession unnecessarily and could barely string two passes together all afternoon. Apart from Bonne’s header and Fraser’s shot in the first half, we didn’t threaten their goal all afternoon, failing to muster a single attempt in the second half.
Curbs and Brownie were, quite rightly, scathing in their analysis. It was a pretty disgraceful and spineless performance and I feel for the supporters who spent good money to traipse up to Ipswich to watch that rubbish. I’d be quite happy never to see a number of those players in a Charlton shirt again.
Ipswich started the game with more intensity, positivity and quality. We did get more into it and to be fair at 2-nil that was a definite penalty which may have changed things. Defence were awful, especially Hector unusually. 2nd ball useless as always. Is it overall fitness levels? Something is wrong in relation to this aspect of our game. Even against poor teams.

What’s your views on Dobson’s pace and athleticism? Seems that sometimes he is beyond criticism from Charlton fans when for me today he was just as culpable - especially as those aspects you mentioned are the weakest part of his game.
To be honest I think it’s pretty obvious Morsy and Luongo have far to much quality for this league - but as two players playing as CDM’s look at their ability to drive forwards with and without the ball - we just don’t have that.
Clem that was just what I thought. I gave Hector a 1 on the players marks. Innis was crap but Hector never even reached crap. He was just like a Sunday League player who got smashed on a Saturday night and woke up at half time in the middle of the match. I wonder if he has a new club lined up so can't be arsed anymore.

Sat at far end of train to Norwich and kept out of the way.
Kin ell. 10 goals against in 2 visits.
We have to wake up really quickly or things will only get worse.
You will not have enough to put our club back together again.
