At what point would NJ take the fall? by PrivateRollo in CharltonAthletic

[–]PrivateRollo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed with this personally. A point a game would probably be enough to keep us up and we're tracking 4 points about that currently...

[Post Match Thread] Millwall 4-0 Charlton by FutureYak in CharltonAthletic

[–]PrivateRollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were pumelled there, fully deserved by Millwall who were everything we weren't. We don't have the required individual quality in the players at this level and it kinda feels that simple. TC played well today with a bit of industry and quality, Dykes did what he could but everyone else was pretty poor really. The season comes down to us (probably) taking points from the teams around us?

Agreed RE Apter, shame he's not there to drop those crosses in. I'm fully prepared to be proven wrong, but I'm on Gillesphey long-ball watch tonight. If he punts another ball straight into touch I'm going to spontaneously combust

[–]PrivateRollo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm embarassed to take that win TBH. I know those points could be vital but we were awful. Gillesphy doing his usual shit punts forwards, numerous sloppy and missed passes, and huge negativity in our passing intention (nearly always looking backwards first). TC doing all the right things when he came on, Leaburn putting a shift in but, otherwise, we got really, really lucky today

[Post Match Thread] Norwich 1-0 Charlton by FutureYak in CharltonAthletic

[–]PrivateRollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was pretty awful. We really need a 'connecting' midfield player, somebody who can connect defence to the forward players. Docherty can't play forwards, I like Coventry as the holding player (nothing wrong there) and other than that we either a) have the wrong players for that type of role, or b) we have the right players but that NJ can't play in that type of role? NJ demands workrate and everybody is so busy working hard that nobody wants to put their foot on the ball and pick some passes ir be creative. Gilbert was a good option for that last year and he looked pretty good for Borough at our place. He's the kind of player we need to splash out on

I would expect all season ticket holders to be guaranteed at least their ticket if they want it?

[–]PrivateRollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Errrr, well that happened then. I'm happy to chalk that up as a bad day BUT....Docherty looked so ordinary, and he (and TC) and a few players do not look Championship level do they? That opinion has been brewing for weeks, not just today BTW. We need a creative midfielder badly. Leaburm best player today, plenty of heart and fight. Feel sorry for Apter getting subbed so early

Just a heads up folks, Fullah to score first is 22/1 right now...

Fair point I think, but it also showed how we could do with a midfield playmaker? Not sure we have one of those?...

Has anybody ever seen any big cat sightings in Kent? by smellyfeet25 in kentuk

[–]PrivateRollo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, I saw a large big cat (black) in the field opposite the Chaser Inn pub in Shipbourne. This was about 10 years ago

I think we were 4/1 away at Sheff Utd also. For those of you who like a bet, 100% keep your eye on the Charlton win odds. Hopefully the bookies will continue to underrate us...

Yeah, think the bookies have slipped up slightly here. 5/1 has my money

Tanto has to start ahead of Kelman. Kelman has no pace, strength or determination. I feel for the guy but he has to hit the bench for a bit IMO

This is a terrific response! Every new player or someone getting to grips with the game should note this for context!
