Naive line up, many called it before a ball was kickedking addick said:
Nothing to do with him...get them players to have a fucking look at themselves. They should be smashing this team and whilst they worked hard, we should have put it too bed.charlton_hero said:Shameful from Appleton - what a fool
Naive of him to think the players have the minerals to take on an Isthmanian League team and win? Need to remember there's 2 "Premier League" players in that starting line-upThat's no disrespect to Cray, but this should just be a fantastic day out for them, with a good reception from everyone in the ground and leaving with the memories. Not a fuckin replay…..
Seriously think there's a lot of complacency within the squad and it shows when we have a small decent run, play "smaller" clubs or even go in front early on in a game.

Why is ANYONE here surprised?
Soft as shite, always have been. I can count on two hands in 47 years of me supporting Charlton, when we have not made a pigs ear of a cup tie.11 -
They are professional players. Even if you can't play as a team, individually they should be better.BenHaimandBikey said:
Absolute nonsense. What style did we turn up with here?king addick said:

I didn't see our players not trying. I saw them lacking any ideas how to break down a team working hard.
Without CBT to unlock the defence what do we have?
These players train as a unit all week...this team played Wigan off the park and then they go to shit against this team and that's MAs fault. Can you honeslty say we worked harder than Cray?
No professionalism at all and they didn't give Cray the respect they deserved and they got there draw.

Just to complete my feelings of anger and humiliation, I just realised that I could have been watching David Suchet as Hercule Poirot instead.
Even with possibly less than spectacular performances, reliable entertainment.1 -
Anyone want to disagree playing you first eleven from the start.Cheers we now have another unwanted match now at The Den I would have thought.
Anyone who wants a ticket will get one.1 -
Dreadful performance, you only have to look at the Player's Marks, says it all! There was No Desire out there, Chem Campbell was the only individual who showed any passion! Kirk should be banned from the training ground, and as for the goalkeeper who has signed on a short deal, how poor was he, couldn't even catch the ball. It's been said before, but what the hell goes on at Sparrows Lane I don't know!!!0

A number of observations:
1. Not enough movement. We looked quite Stationery out there.
2. There’s no papering over the result.
3. Charlton’s new keeper looked wooden.
4. Fair play to Cray Valley. They weren’t tearable.
5. Keep on like that and we won’t be pulling up any trees under Appleton.
6. Back to the grindstone.

Kirk is stealing a living - utter joke of a professional footballer - how on earth did he ever make professional - I am foaming at the mouth this evening about Charlton today - disgusting - and my WhatsApp is pinging like fucking crazy, from ‘mates’ of mine who are Spanners, Palshit and Wet Spam - I’m not even looking at the messages, but I know what they will be sayingHovi's Biscuit said:Can’t help thinking if we’d have had 11 in the first half, rather than 10 and Kirk, we’d have been away2 -
Ridiculous that we never looked like winning.But most of all, Kirk must never play in a Charlton shirt again.Expect us to win the replay by at least two goals … but I said that today 😆3

He needs to put our first 11 team out in the replay or we will become an unwanted statistic!
Kirk needs to move on ASAP!6 -
Just over 30 mins of it left ...CL_Phantom said:Cheer up.
Charlie Kirk's contract runs until 2025

Today won't get many fans on his side. I hate it when our managers disrespect this competition. I don't think even Bowyer changed all 11 when we played in the F.a cup and he hated the competition.IAgree said:

Ditto Abankwah. We've got lucky with L.Watson but the rest of the deadline day business was as shit as we all suspected. New era my arseSELR_addicks said:Tedic is a bust. Looked awful in every single appearance I've seen him in.9 -
All their players are better than Kirk, he is a useless piece of shit.Callumcafc said:
Show me a Cray Valley player that has over 200 EFL appearances and over 30 EFL goals and I’ll admit they have an individual player better than Charlie Kirk.Fumbluff said:
Kirk wouldn’t.Callumcafc said:
Why not? Individually every player that started today’s game for us would be, on paper, Cray’s best player.DDOUBLEE said:
Shouldn’t be making 11 changes eitherCallumcafc said:Reminder: our U18s beat Cray Valley 3-2 in August.
We fielded eleven full time professionals that should have had far too much for them.
Appleton massively let down by the players on the day.
Should have started with the big guns like May and Leaburn who were on the pitch for 20 minutes and didn’t manage to do anything either?I’d take any of theirs instead of Kirk, even the fat keeper3 -
Can we start a petition to say that our manager and players don't deserve a replay, and that in our shame and disgust as supporters we prefer to let our neighbours Cray Valley go through?4

They'd be hopeful for a proper upset after that.ForeverAddickted said:

I think we can safely say that Tedic, Kirk, McGrandles, Edun and possibly Ness are a waste of space, time and money and need to be got shot off, and quickly.2

Bowyer never had a squad of 22 full time professionals that all need minutes.Bedsaddick said:

The team he picked should’ve won 3-0, 4-0, 5-0. They didn’t. I’m sure Appleton is letting them know that.2 -
I think I've now seen enough of Tedic to form an opinion and my opinion is that he's a dud we need to send back.16

Honestly don't think he did disrespect it. All those players feature relatively regularly in the squad week in, week out. It ain't like he played a load of youngstersBedsaddick said:

Obviously very fresh so there's a lot of anger but the game turned on that Kirk miss. We went 1-0 up and then decided that was probably enough. Cray Valley started the second half brightly and instead of seeing that period of pressure out like a normal team Lucas Ness decided to ram the ball into his own goal for absolutely no reason. Once that happened we actually played our best football of the game for a little bit and looked dangerous. If Kirk had put that simple chance away we would have seen that out without too many more hiccups. They had one shot on target from a free kick and it was saved. Other than that they didn't have anything and we just needed to put the chance away and move on. Non-league teams will have moments like that and professionals should deal with it but Kirk is horrendous and from there Cray were able to slow the game down, stay down after every challenge and eat the time up.I'm not going to get all aggy with Appleton, our u18s should have beaten Cray Valley so a full team of first team squad members has no excuse. I think his only massive mistake was not bringing CBT on for Kirk. Pure pace and power would have crashed through their resistance but instead we just ran out of steam and ideas. The only players who looked vaguely useful were McGrandles and Chem. McGrandles isn't getting in ahead of Dobson and I don't get the feeling Appleton rates Chem so I doubt anyone at all is walking out of that with anything to show for it.Where doe Kirk go now though? I honestly don't think Cray Valley would take him off our hands after that showing. Maybe Appleton will beat him to death as a warning to the others. Make him useful at least9

Where do i sign?jimmymelrose said:Can we start a petition to say that our manager and players don't deserve a replay, and that in our shame and disgust as supporters we prefer to let our neighbours Cray Valley go through?0 -
I know Man City sign loads of these types of players that never make any impact on their first team but what on earth did they see in Tedic?11

7. Beaten to a pulp.
8. Don’t have to read between the lines to see Appleton’s not happy.

Quite. We gave him a night off really.seth plum said:Appleton changed all 11. We have been humiliated and it is because of that. Top marks to Cray Valley Paper Mills,
I said pre match they would be no mugs and would maximise what they had. Our fans digging out their keeper look like mugs too, he made three or four good saves.0 -

I didn't realise that he'd been there since 2019 and they paid millions for him. What were they thinking?MarcusH26 said:I know Man City sign loads of these types of players that never make any impact on their first team but what on earth did they see in Tedic?3 -
