Nothing to do with him...get them players to have a fucking look at themselves. They should be smashing this team and whilst they worked hard, we should have put it too bed.
Naive line up, many called it before a ball was kicked
Naive of him to think the players have the minerals to take on
an Isthmanian League team and win? Need to remember there's 2 "Premier
League" players in that starting line-up
That's no disrespect to Cray, but this should just be a
fantastic day out for them, with a good reception from everyone in the ground
and leaving with the memories. Not a fuckin replayâŠ..
Seriously think there's a lot of complacency within the squad and it shows when we have a small decent run, play "smaller" clubs or even go in front early on in a game.Â

Absolute nonsense. What style did we turn up with here?
I didn't see our players not trying. I saw them lacking any ideas how to break down a team working hard.Â
Without CBT to unlock the defence what do we have?
They are professional players. Even if you can't play as a team, individually they should be better.Â
These players train as a unit all week...this team played Wigan off the park and then they go to shit against this team and that's MAs fault. Can you honeslty say we worked harder than Cray?
No professionalism at all and they didn't give Cray the respect they deserved and they got there draw.Â
Dreadful performance, you only have to look at the Player's Marks, says it all! There was No Desire out there, Chem Campbell was the only individual who showed any passion! Kirk should be banned from the training ground, and as for the goalkeeper who has signed on a short deal, how poor was he, couldn't even catch the ball. It's been said before, but what the hell goes on at Sparrows Lane I don't know!!!
1. Not enough movement. We looked quite Stationery out there. 2. Thereâs no papering over the result. 3. Charltonâs new keeper looked wooden. 4. Fair play to Cray Valley. They werenât tearable. 5. Keep on like that and we wonât be pulling up any trees under Appleton. 6. Back to the grindstone.
Canât help thinking if weâd have had 11 in the first half, rather than 10 and Kirk, weâd have been awayÂ
Kirk is stealing a living - utter joke of a professional footballer - how on earth did he ever make professional - I am foaming at the mouth this evening about Charlton today - disgusting - and my WhatsApp is pinging like fucking crazy, from âmatesâ of mine who are Spanners, Palshit and Wet Spam - Iâm not even looking at the messages, but I know what they will be sayingÂ
Had apples picked anyone other than Kirk weâd likely have gone in 3-0 up and would have gone on to overwhelm Cray.Â
Thatâs down to apples, no one else, everybody knew the performance we were all going to see from Shirk. A classic.Â
Might as well start the Apples out thread thenÂ
Today won't get many fans on his side. I hate it when our managers disrespect this competition. I don't think even Bowyer changed all 11 when we played in the F.a cup and he hated the competition.Â
Reminder: our U18s beat Cray Valley 3-2 in August.
We fielded eleven full time professionals that should have had far too much for them.
Appleton massively let down by the players on the day.
Shouldnât be making 11 changes eitherÂ
Why not? Individually every player that started todayâs game for us would be, on paper, Crayâs best player.
Should have started with the big guns like May and Leaburn who were on the pitch for 20 minutes and didnât manage to do anything either?
Kirk wouldnât.
Iâd take any of theirs instead of Kirk, even the fat keeper
Show me a Cray Valley player that has over 200 EFL appearances and over 30 EFL goals and Iâll admit they have an individual player better than Charlie Kirk.
All their players are better than Kirk, he is a useless piece of shit.
Can we start a petition to say that our manager and players don't deserve a replay, and that in our shame and disgust as supporters we prefer to let our neighbours Cray Valley go through?
I think we can safely say that Tedic, Kirk, McGrandles, Edun and possibly Ness are a waste of space, time and money and need to be got shot off, and quickly.

Bowyer never had a squad of 22 full time professionals that all need minutes.
The team he picked shouldâve won 3-0, 4-0, 5-0. They didnât. Iâm sure Appleton is letting them know that.

Honestly don't think he did disrespect it. All those players feature relatively regularly in the squad week in, week out. It ain't like he played a load of youngstersÂ
Obviously very fresh so there's a lot of anger but the game turned on that Kirk miss. We went 1-0 up and then decided that was probably enough. Cray Valley started the second half brightly and instead of seeing that period of pressure out like a normal team Lucas Ness decided to ram the ball into his own goal for absolutely no reason. Once that happened we actually played our best football of the game for a little bit and looked dangerous. If Kirk had put that simple chance away we would have seen that out without too many more hiccups. They had one shot on target from a free kick and it was saved. Other than that they didn't have anything and we just needed to put the chance away and move on. Non-league teams will have moments like that and professionals should deal with it but Kirk is horrendous and from there Cray were able to slow the game down, stay down after every challenge and eat the time up.Â
I'm not going to get all aggy with Appleton, our u18s should have beaten Cray Valley so a full team of first team squad members has no excuse. I think his only massive mistake was not bringing CBT on for Kirk. Pure pace and power would have crashed through their resistance but instead we just ran out of steam and ideas. The only players who looked vaguely useful were McGrandles and Chem. McGrandles isn't getting in ahead of Dobson and I don't get the feeling Appleton rates Chem so I doubt anyone at all is walking out of that with anything to show for it.
Where doe Kirk go now though? I honestly don't think Cray Valley would take him off our hands after that showing. Maybe Appleton will beat him to death as a warning to the others. Make him useful at least

Appleton changed all 11. We have been humiliated and it is because of that. Top marks to Cray Valley Paper Mills, I said pre match they would be no mugs and would maximise what they had. Our fans digging out their keeper look like mugs too, he made three or four good saves.

They're 8th tier
Soft as shite, always have been. I can count on two hands in 47 years of me supporting Charlton, when we have not made a pigs ear of a cup tie.
Even with possibly less than spectacular performances, reliable entertainment.

Anyone who wants a ticket will get one.

4. Fair play to Cray Valley. They werenât tearable.
5. Keep on like that and we wonât be pulling up any trees under Appleton.
6. Back to the grindstone.
Kirk needs to move on ASAP!
The team he picked shouldâve won 3-0, 4-0, 5-0. They didnât. Iâm sure Appleton is letting them know that.
8. Donât have to read between the lines to see Appletonâs not happy.
