We’re dangerously close to being in a relegation battle. Did we keep the receipt for those two clowns from Brighton?2

At the start of the season if someone had said we'd go on a run of 2 wins in 14 then I'd be worried. Hopefully we'll pick up.1

0 points from 14 games is shit beyond all shitness.oohaahmortimer said:We're playing the shittiest crappiest out of form teams in the division and still losing , can we play against ourselves .
We are shocking beyond belief .
This season we have found our "we're still 5th" replacement saying "we'll be ok once the injured players come back"
9 points from 14 games is shit beyond all shitness
7 points from the relegation zone, only 5 teams between us and the dreaded R
Big big week for us with 2 home fixtures coming up
0% Automatics ..................... 0% Play offs ..................... 10% 7th-12th ............................ 75% 13th-21st ..........................15% RelegationI don’t think we should be panicking just yet.4 -
Only real positive to come out of it was Taylor getting 45 under his belt and Middlesbrough’s finishing being woeful - a better team would have tonked us today. Think Bowyer needs to take a bit of responsibility after that..... Playing Ledley was a risk given his lack of game time and the fact that we have a makeshift squad at the moment. He also didn’t set us up very well for the first half - the formation was doomed from the off. Purrington and Pearce (is he capable of doing anything without a handful of an opponents shirt?) on the left is a real worry, the alternative is Sarr (poor bloke didn’t play today and I’m about to slaughter him) and that’s an even bigger worry. I know Bowyer is down to the bare bones and can’t name a settled line up, but the dross that was served up today (particularly in the first half) is inexcusable - Middlesbrough have similar injuries, and whilst they were poor, we were a lot lot worse.We need need that takeover done and dusted ASAP. I know it won’t help us in the transfer market for a few weeks, but it will give the whole club a lift and the feel good factor will be there. Also, those players that are underperforming should be looking over their shoulders nervously knowing we can spend and replace them in Jan - so bit of a kick up the back side. It’s not all doom and gloom but we really do need to stop the rot.
Also, we need Williams back - he is the one player that will take the game to opponents, we severely lack that when he isn’t about.19 -
Appalling first half. Only marginally better second half. We look devoid of confidence. Where is that Charlton/Bowyer spirit? We were given the runaround by a Boro side that are themselves struggling.
Only positives are:
1. Young Albie did well when he came on.
2. Lyle got some much needed game time. He looked as rusty as hell but still better than most of our team.
3. It is, hopefully, the last shitty game we'll play under the shitty ownership of Duchatelet.
We should get a positive lift from completion of the takeover, Lockyer back from suspension, more players back from injury and maybe one or two quality reinforcements in January. We badly need an upturn in fortunes. We've been in relegation form for several weeks now.2 -
A long time since I've been so cross at end of match. That was abysmal. I wonder if the future uncertainty is getting to them? V disappointed in the senior pros - Pearce, Pratley, Matthews. We miss Cullen so much.0

I feel we need a snowstorm to do Lapland proud and not a shitstorm where players are slagged off. So we can have a couple of weeks off to get nearer to the Jan window.
Since the Derby home game, as the injuries have mounted up we are a team of strangers and the confidences has vanished.
We need partnerships all over the pitch.
Taylor and Bonne to start with.

It will because some of them could end up surplus to requirements.ElfsborgAddick said:Weegie Addick said:A long time since I've been so cross at end of match. That was abysmal.

I completely understand that we're short in midfield, but it didn't feel right to bring Ledley straight in to the team.9

How on earth is Morgan getting 5's for that performance.0

Probably only player in squad who can do Cullen job (Gallagher would be wasted there) and likely to grow into the ugly side.Dazzler21 said:How on earth is Morgan getting 5's for that performance.1 -

Hopefully the last game of it. Fitting way to go out really. Roland cleans his teeth with dog shit so only fair we give him a dog shit performance as an encore.CAFCTrev said:Still feels like the RD era dont it?1 -
More injuries too. Otzumer ankle ligaments and Aneke has had a set back according to @LouisMend0

Aneke is going to be the next Lewis Page isn't he.0

Looks that way. Might as well pay the pair of them off.Talal said:Aneke is going to be the next Lewis Page isn't he.2 -

"Chuks has now had five different muscle injuries since the summer. Different muscles. It’s not good."
I'm certainly no medical expert but I reckon the bloke has too much muscle. Needs to stay out the gym and eat a few more pies.8 -
Did the players that took out Williams and Oz even get a card?1
-
We have a couple of players on loan who can fuck right off4

Glad i avoided the match thread. The Adventures of Archie the Mouse at the Brooke Theatre in Chatham for me. I salute the few who went to Smogland. We are in a right royal pickle as this form, injuries or not is infecteous. If the FA kibosh the takeover we'll be queueing at Beachy Head by March.3

Tried to encourage my friend to become a Charlton supporter today - oh dear:'(

If the FA stop the takeover it has to be WAR. The thing that struck me about today was that when they scored so early, you could sort of predict if we had no character how the game would pan out. And there you have it, it did. The only thing is, I think you can bear the injuries for a bit and we have had some tough breaks but the team is exposed as it stands and we need players back and performing desperately.0

Derby got a free kick when Williams went down injured when it should have been a foul the other wayharveys_gardener said:Did the players that took out Williams and Oz even get a card?
Any Cardiff / Sheff Wed player could have been booked for damage done to Oztumer, he got taken out so much in those two games I'd be impressed if someone could work out which bastard did the worst damage7 -
Anyone questioning Aneke's muscles being the problem, probably aren't far off.
It's probably a case of tightness in either the muscles or tendons. Lock him in the physio office for a month, stretch him daily, on the hour.
I fear he may be working too hard to try and get fit.1
