Guest Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The replays were inconclusive, personally I didn't think it crossed the line but I could be wrong. The question is did we deserve to win (or even draw) that game? The answer is no. We didn't turn up, bottled it, however you want to phrase it. Charlton deserved the win so let's not pretend otherwise just because we're disappointed. For half an hour we were shocking and for all of the game we didn't play as well as we have done under Gray. Charlton could easily have been more than 1 up in the first 30 minutes but even though we didn't play well we could easily have got a result. Nuhiu's header was unlucky, on another day that drops in off the post and Coke has scored if Best doesn't fall over and stop it going in. Llera was given the run around after a good display at the weekend - 2 games in 3 days too much for him. Martinez should have claimed the free kick on the second goal - Church has headed it in the 6 yard box. Mattock also dropped too deep on that goal - Llera had played Church offside but Mattock was a good few yards deeper than everyone else. Disappointed with the way we played and with what is clearly a missed opportunity. Need to make sure we get it out of the system on Saturday.

Jim Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Disappointed obviously but Charlton are one of them sides that'll stretch the rule book as far as they can. Hamer would quite happily stand around with an extra ball in his shorts for as long as the referee allows him too. I personally think we'll have the last laugh in April. If someone had offered me a win tonight or a win that would send Charlton down, then it's the latter for me every time :-) Edited February 24, 2014 by Great Big Galaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbobbins Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Didn't look like it crossed the line to me. I'd rather loose than draw this game. Get back to the league consolidation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 His competency is questionable. We don't have to have 4 at the back. We do - we tried 3 a few games back and it was promptly changed back to 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darkus Owlus Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 We do - we tried 3 a few games back and it was promptly changed back to 4 I suspect the opponents were not better than Charlton....and one change no results rules it out? We had the momentum to beat them, home advantage (apparently) an attacking formation would have been nice, lets face it, their defence is absolutely shocking.

Hang on, everyone is moaning about the attacking substitutions and set up... And it's not just once. There's a reason very, very few teams play with a three at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southportdc Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I like all your detective work I really do but I'm going to stick with the ITV computer geeks who made a side on angle showing it on the line tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southportdc Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 More important in that picture is the defender. Like to think he forgot the game for a second and was singing 'everybody was Kung fu fighting' to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
