I'd have had Appleton on my soldiers doing a lap of honourFoxycafc said:Who was that Class A surgical grade c*** screaming at Appleton 5 inches from his face calling him toilet. No fucking respect and put the players off coming to see the fans, Fraser had to come over ans sort him. Coked up jaw swinging c*** screaming at 17 year olds making the travelling fans look bad. Littleuns around him and all. Needs banning the disrespectful wanker.5 -
Playing Kirk ever again would be madness…jbaker said:Just throwing this out there. . . But surely after the last 3 games Campbell has to come out of the squad. He has to put Chem or Kirk in for Saturday or it’s just madness15 -
A reminder that Reading in their last 2 league games beat Carlisle 5-1 and Wycombe 2-1, which is a better analysis of their ability than the Eastleigh performance.4

Tough end of year now with squad a bit depleted of some key players. I am concerned how fragile we are. Sure Scott said those days were over when Appleton was appointed. I wonder if he has the changing room? If we don't beat Cambridge on Saturday I fear the worse. Personally I haven't taken to Appleton. Just don't feel he is going to progress us. I don't think we have the owners to either so a bit depressing really.2

Saturday was an appalling performance, for which the players deserve all the criticism they got. Ditto the Cray Valley first leg.oohaahmortimer said:

We desperately need a league game to break us out of the malaise of our cup form13

Yeah & methven said the new owners were determined to build a squad capable of challenging for promotion.KettsJohn said:Tough end of year now with squad a bit depleted of some key players.

At least I’ve got to meet and have a nice long chat with Headphones Norm. Real solid guy, Charlton legend. Don’t know if he’s on here

Need to up our game for any chance of thatfenlandaddick said:Good run out for some of the academy players. Bit crazy at the end. Shame we lost, but can now concentrate on promotion 😉0 -
In hindsight, I wonder if the complete absence from the 18 of Tedic, Ness and Ched Campbell means that Appleton has seen enough to make his mind up and has decided to move forward without them (and Kirk).0

well the players that couldn’t knock on Appleton’s door after Cray Valley, then couldn’t knock on his door after Gillingham, won’t again be able to knock on his door after Reading.
Might as well remove the door.40 -
To his friends he is Norman.Foxycafc said:At least I’ve got to meet and have a nice long chat with Headphones Norm. Real solid guy, Charlton legend. Don’t know if he’s on here
Nothing else. True man that’s been going for decades.4 -
When I saw him last week it struck me how little he’d changed since I first saw him over 30 years ago.Foxycafc said:At least I’ve got to meet and have a nice long chat with Headphones Norm. Real solid guy, Charlton legend. Don’t know if he’s on here8 -

Ness had a knee injury apparently mate but you’re probably not far wrong if you add Abankwah to the list.Fortune 82nd Minute said:In hindsight, I wonder if the complete absence from the 18 of Tedic, Ness and Ched Campbell means that Appleton has seen enough to make his mind up and has decided to move forward without them (and Kirk).2 -
Out of 2 cups in 5 days I proper hate my football club atm2

Same with Tedic. People seem to think he purposely goes out and plays bad. If they’re abusing anyone it should be the ones sigining them. The level of abuse they get is disgusting and is never going to help. Personally attacking a player because they’re not good just never sits right with mekillerandflash said:
I thought some of the abuse aimed at TC on Saturday went over the edge too. TC was terrible, but screaming abuse at him isn't going to make him play better.

Like most I was watching the cricket on the TV and football on the I pad. League matches get 100% attention.
When Michael Appleton put Mbick on before Kanu I knew the result wasn't important. Dobson came off at 1-0 up and I knew the result wasn't important.
Cambridge is more important in the league but when Mbick lashed the ball Into the crowd when we had an overload in the box in the last minute it felt we would pay the penalty for that misjudgement.
Hector had a strong game with Naby Sarr long passes. Not sure why he took the knee in his own penalty area 🤔
The game was a smorgasbord with Fraser a real ploughman but our defence is still a Swiss cheese with AMB making saves and blocks plus they kindly missed an open goal in the 1st half.
We now concentrate on the league and we need a big cheese to get Cafc up the table.5
