Charlton Athletic Post Match Thoughts

[Brin]

Here's what Evo thought.....

[UlleyMiller]

Fairly good outing against a team who were prepared to play football, with less time spent pushing and pulling. The defence looks 3/4 of what will be our best, and we should be letting them play out as much as possible. Kelly looked good (even aside from the goal), Odoffin was poor today. The top end doesn't look at its best though. Maybe there's still a way to go getting them playing off each other, but I'm really not convinced we have a lot of options for goals. JCH looked lazy, Wilks better although well short of last week's efforts, and Nombe looked bright to start but faded - and although it's a tired point, he is not a goal scorer.

I'm happy with a point down there, we deserved at least that if not the full three.

[Derbymiller]

A lot better and a good point. We are a different team when Kelly is on the pitch. Keeper should have saved that, lovely shot placed well, little pace and keeper had time to get across. Forward line is a worry as are set pieces. Back four did very well. The squad lacks real depth, first 11 are good but not much after those.

I've always said Odoffin his best position it's centre back on last season performances playing there in the the championship that's were he should be starting. McCart didn't do much wrong today same with Rafferty & James.

Phillips had no chance with their goal same as their keeper didn't with ours.

Watched the game and have read the above comments respectfully can’t agree with we haven’t got goals in us I can say I haven’t enjoyed a game on tv involving us for ages really impressed with the passing and movement and Philips actually throwing it out to the full backs instead of booting up field all the time varied it good to see
Impressed with Raffertyhe James putting some good crosses in Gru what’s Humphries done wrong?
I do agree about Wilks not his best game think we’re going to have to put up with that he’s either going to be 9/10 or a 4
Powell agreed not as influential as last week set pieces need improvement but had a decent game

Back in the US and back to the early morning routine. So was it a point won at a ground where we haven't faired well at in the past 40 years or two points lost after taking the lead and looking in control?

Thoughts on today's team and managements' efforts?

A tadge dissapointed to only draw as we did look in control, so 2 points lost.

Personally I can't see where the goals are going to come from I don't think nombe and jch will get double figures between them without penalties. Hope they prove me wrong

[avondalemiller]

A good point, but it's disappointing when you score first and can't hold on. Aneke measured it up and placed it well. Could Phillips have got across quicker? Maybe so.

We had 2 chances to clear it and ended up giving them the ball back thro a mix up and deflection.

The match started at 100mph, once it settled down it was better. Still not sure about Wilkes, he seems to be all or nothing. Nombe was bossed about with the defence and looked poor at times. What does Hungbo have to do to get on? Should have been on for Nombe after 60 mins. If we are to continue with long balls then Hugill copes better than JCH with them.

We have so many forwards it an enigma who's going to play where when Green comes back next month.....UTM.

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Both goals were good.
We need to work on crossing the ball, I thought Powell was poor with them,
at times we seemed to want to walk the ball in to score, instead of getting
the ball into the penalty area straight away, trying to walk the ball in, ended
up us passing the ball back.
Wilks was a different player to last Saturday's game, not having the same effect,
same with JCH, not in the game.
Personally I thought our midfield in the first half run the show, but no goals
coming from it, again not getting the ball to a Millers forward.
