  • Not keen on Mannion for either of their goals , first one he’s fannying pushing their player and getting drawn to near to that side and  his hands are too low , it’s past him in a flash but better positional sense and he’d have had a better chance 

    second goal I feel a step or two out to lessen the angle increases his chances but was a good finish .

    im looking for perfection but these to me are basics as an ex keeper, once my knees started giving way .
    Read recently that the thinking/coaching on this has changed. Instead of moving forward to close the angle keepers are encouraged to stay back and gain more time to react. Seems like cobblers to me but that’s the theory

    First goal was just an excellent header from a well worked corner, blame if anyone goes to no-one trying to get to the first ball, but really nothing we could do once it was goalbound.
    Second was more that Mannion was left alone one-on-one, like the first goal, just well executed, and we would have been drooling if we scored either one of those, perfection...🤷‍♂️

    I was most disappointed by him of all our team yesterday - distribution poor and not dominant defensively in any sense. He's meant to have been brilliant at Reading, but struggling to see why based on his early performances. Appreciate he's rusty right now but we don't really have time for him to find form and think we may have seen the last of him in a charlton shirt

    Even with your dodgy knees you’re probably better than either Mannion or AMB. Regardless of the division we’re in next season we need an upgrade in goal. 
  • Who sets the added time, the ref or the fourth official?  If the latter, there’s a lot of misplaced ire on the scores thread.

    Shout out to the that infront of me in Row A of the West Lower who kept standing up so I couldn't see. I asked him to sit down and he told me to stand up too, then when I showed him my crutches and told him I couldn't, he got mouthy and told me I wasn't a Charlton fan as I wasn't standing up. What weird and sad behaviour 
    Every club has its share of total tossers sadly.

    Even in the West!

  • You thought right. It is the ref.


  • Illustrates how important L Jones, TC and Coventry are.

    The first two were out and the third had his worse game for a while.

    Coventry somehow got man of the match in the lounges 🤷‍♂️ I’m guessing the match sponsor were his parents .

    Coventry was poor and came 9th on the CL stats.
  • I find Berry frustrating, so much ability.
    Perhaps it had more to do with Lincoln man marking him McGrandles was excellent stopping the ball getting to him and closing him down everytime he looked dangerous …. It not always down to us but the other team tactics 
    I dunno just wish he would chip in with a few goals now n then
  • We got a point and need to put this one to bed! Positives is we had the character to gave it a go and the noise from the Covered End must have given the players a real lift!

    NJ, please don't play Karoy in that position again, and hopefully, by the time we play Cambridge the team will be up for it!

    Take my hat off to Godden who kept going and drove us forward when he had the ball👍

    Yes we need an upgrade in first choice keepers but both these keepers have been part of a defensive unit that has done a great job keeping clean sheets this season. And with all due respect to Oohaah they are going to be way better than him with his dodgy knees!
  • Saturday emphasised my view that our first 11 displays a good jigsaw picture but if you lost just one or two of those pieces, it just doesn’t look right.

    We are very ‘best 11’ dependent .

    Was just thinking the same. Anderson had a good impact last Tuesday, and could see why selected, but wasn’t effective at all and gave away an easy pass in the middle of the pitch which unfortunately led to their corner and goal. McIntyre did a job last Tuesday also, but looked a bit sloppy and made a bad error for the 2nd goal. Jones and Campbell were big losses to the starting 11. Need to pick ourselves up, get the win this week, and that should be close to confirming a playoff spot. Then we can push for whatever’s left for the taking.

    for the first goal he was more worried about their No 27 right in front of him - we needed someone other than Anderson on him giving more back

    I really rate Coventry but thought that was one of his worst games for us, consistently gave the ball away with short/slow passes - he just couldn't get going Saturday
    He gave it away twice early on, yes, but he had an absolutely brilliant second half

    He was much better in the second half but definitely a poor first half. I think all 3 midfielders struggled first half, mainly due to the lack of TC to be an outlet for them to find. Berry has been playing really well recently and the link up between him, Godden and TC has been brilliant but he really struggled on Saturday without TC to find. Was better second half as although a different type of outlet to TC, we had Chuks on that we could move the ball forwards to
  • Pereira must have put in some performance.

    Clean sheet with Wycombe having 17 shots (although only 4 on target)

    It's all about opinions but try watching the goals conceded in other games including the Premier; So many mistakes made every week by the men between the sticks.
    Mannion is a decent keeper as was the Lincoln keeper. Both were left exposed for the goals though i thought Wickens made a great save from Godden but his positioning could've been better for Docherty's goal.
    Mannion's save just before the HT whistle was vital or otherwise we could've been 3-0 down after McIntyre's missed tackle early in 2nd half.

    I wouldn't want Oohaah in goal for walking football; he would go missing for a crap and give stick to his team mates for being slow 😀

    He stood no chance with either but the save he made at the end of the first half was top drawer as he saw it very late ..

    Coventry was excellent again but MOM was Gilly by a long way
