  • Chuks really isn't bringing anything these days.  I love the talisman he's become but he just isn't vfm.  It might be time to say goodbye.  Isn't he out of contract this year?  Why oh why was Leaburn not brought on instead?
    Bringing on Miles on NINETY FIVE minutes with just ONE remaining...WTF was that all about ? What the heck was his remit ! 

    Surely NO player could be expected to do anything positive at that point. Set up to fail comes to mind...

    Someone posted earlier that NJ was screaming at the player at the final whistle which is very concerning IMO.

    I agree that something doesn't sound right, sadly.

    Maybe Leaburn told him he should have put him on earlier ha ha ha

    Can't understand why Godden was subbed at all on around 60 mins. And for Aneke when we're two up!?!
    I kind of get that one, but didn’t understand the TC / Kanu one. TC still had energy, was settled in the game and doing well. It felt early to be changing that.

    With a subs bench of 3 strikers, 2 RCBs and Anderson, we are so limited in sub options we can make. Aneke / Leaburn is the same option and Mitchell / Edmonds Green is the same option. 
    Brownie thought TC may have been limping slightly so perhaps had a bit of a knock.

     I think, at the time, Jones thought the match was won (naively, after being a Charlton fan for what feels like 8,000 years now, so did I). If it was in doubt I think we would have made different changes, possibly including brining Leaburn on. Instead I think we chose to rest him rather than risk him when the three points were a seeming foregone conclusion. Fate makes a fool of us all. 
  • If we said this time last month we'd be in this position we'd have been over the moon about it. But 2 nil up with 16 minutes to play is gutting, let's be honest.

  • It was a good point think 95% of Charlton fans would have taken that point before the game … the turning point and the mistake that cost was the subs …. Godden was causing all sorts of problems why change it in 63 mins it disrupted us and they scored pretty soon after .. scoring early they were always fav to get a point or even win it … sorry but Kanu can go out on loan not good enough ….. but it’s a good point , you don’t want to move into top 6 to early .

  • mistaken substitutions cost us 2 points .. replacing 2 attackers with 2 more attackers when 2-0 up smacks of either arrogance or incompetence, bringing on either REG or Mitchell in place of either Chuks or Kanu would have shored up our defence and allowed less space and opportunity for Blackpool
    However, it was a very decent and exciting game. Their right back, number 24 Offiah, son of Martin 'Chariots' (ex Rugby League and Union superstar) runs as fast as his dad ever did, i m o he played a big part in their comeback. Good fun afternoon other than our late lack of concentration. Our good run continues

    The barbers in Blackpool will not bother opening Sunday morning 😁😁

    Kellie Maloney bottom right?
  • It’s a pitty after 0-2 initial but, anyway, we are closer to Playoffs Now.
    keep climbing Addicks, keep climbing…!!!

    Saludos!
  • Jones tried to bring on fresh legs which has worked for us previously. Fair enough really. God, there are some overreactions going on here tonight.
    Aneke though doesn’t have 30 plus minutes of fresh legs in him anymore. Unfortunately he’s a shadow of his former self.
  • Will Jones be apologising for bad substitutions or will he blame everyone else like normal.

  • That second half was absolutely cracking entertainment.

    Please please please try and be positive lads. Yes it’s disappointing but a point on the road keeps us on track and we haven’t suddenly become shit.
    some poor decisions today but onwards and upwards 
    To be honest, we've been shit for most of the season, barring a few performances. Being 2 nil up on 74 mins and not winning is pretty poor. I think we're fortunate to have something to play for this season. 
    I agree. Lots of ifs & buts but the table would look a lot different if........

    • We had conceded in injury time against Shrewsbury when they had a good chance to score. instead they missed and we somehow scored a last minute winner. 

    • We had drawn against Bolton instead of grabbing a deflected goal. We could have even lost that one too having gone a goal behind - we usually do in those circumstances. 

    I know all teams can say that but it's not like we have been pulling up trees during this little run. Before the last 4 games we lost heavily to Rotherham & draw 0-0 with Reading. We have been poor in patches and average for most of the rest. 
    It’s all swings and roundabouts. We should have won at Barnsley, should have won today, even the Reading game you mention we deserved to win. On the flip side as you say we got have easily lost at Bolton and Shrewsbury but we didn’t. Every team in this league, any league, can make the same arguments. At the end of the day it is what it is. At the end of the season the league table doesn’t lie, you finish where you deserve to finish. 
    This is the most annoying phrase ever invented, and sould be banned forever.

  • Blackpool were a good team and they were a match for us but we should have held on for the win after going 2-0 up. That flattered us a bit at the time and most teams would have crumbled after that. But Steve Bruce is a canny campaigner and his subs just worked better than ours. I wouldn’t be too hard on our team or the subs. On most days we would have won that. And, we’re in a good position with 2 winnable home games coming up. 
    Just call it a bad day at the office today although a point away at Blackpool is not a bad result. We played well although it was a bad mistake by Gillespie for their equaliser.
  • Must say i'm getting more convinced that Chuks has passed his sell by date, and really is not up to even his usual last 20 minutes impact role anymore, he was totally invisible  when he came on along with Kanu.
    Really don't know what's going on with Leaburn, that is really a strange one...
    Thought this about Chuks for a while.
    Missed a few chance this season, no longer fast, bad timing for headers, wrong decisions
