MATCH THREAD (+POST p23): Charlton Athl v Cray Valley PM: FA Cup 🏆1st Rd: Sun 5 Nov 2023 | KO 17:30

Garrymanilow

Interesting so far. Fraser looks extremely comfortable. McGrandles has been very tidy, Anderson dynamic. Ness and Abankwah look a little shaky and Kirk looks troublingly Kirky considering the level he's up against. Edun is overplaying quite a bit as well and it's not going super well. Needs to chill a bit

Defence is all over the shop.

Thomas being Thomas

Abankwah and Kirk showing why they’re so low down the pecking order! 

Mcgrandles looking better, maybe he’s finally finding his ‘George Dobson’ costume…
thomas usless, Edun shaky when Kirk constantly going inside and central.

would have liked to have seen 1 or 2 more kids playing

Thomas is still shit

Terrell Thomas looks like a competition winner selected to play for us. Useless

Chill...🍺🍺🍺

Darenth

Looking comfortable if nervy at the moment but not at all convinced by Thomas

killerandflash

Our defence looks a bit ropey, but then our first choice defence looks a bit ropey!

Gribbo

Kirk all over the gaff again

Lovely Fraser

Thought you were watching the Grand Prix...🙄

Red flagged.

Excellent defending from Abankwah there. Anticipated the danger and reacted. 

Fumbluff

Thomas, Shirk and McStandstill are my favourites

Jonniesta

Thomas is making Kirk look good... he's a total liability here 

Garrymanilow

Pretty sure if Charlie Kirk runs at his fullback he dies. It's the only explanation

BenHaimandBikey

Not surprising we look disjointed with so many changes, but it's all a bit messy and unsatisfying to watch. 

Bournemouth Addick

Jeez, I've only just got over that Northwich Victoria performance and he's gone and brought it up again...

Maybe he wants a role named after him?

Best thing about games against this level of opposition is that people can still feel entitled to have a moan even when we’re winning. :-)

Abankwah not looking settled

surely today was the perfect day to have a look at him playing in his actual position

Stockport away was equally as bad.
They could have easily won by 7 or 8

Fumbluff

Kirk just ball watching

Darenth

Would've liked to see a shot from McG there

eastterrace6168

Can't say Cray are lacking in effort, and they are certainly testing our defence at times, and pushing a high line when they can, but effort ain't enough, and longer it goes on fitness should tell...still 1-0

Yeah he made a good run into the box

FishCostaFortune

The quality of pass from Ness and Thomas today has been awful. 

Garrymanilow

It's going to be hilarious when we bring on CBT. Their right back will think he's been having a lovely chill day and then he's going to have that to deal with

JaShea99

Great shot from Kirk there.

Croydon

Really highlights how poor some of our poorer players are
