So basically because we're still top, we cant be pissed off at throwing away 2 points to one of the worst form teams in the division? A half decent team puts us to bed today. Thankfully Charlton are dog shit. Dog shit, yet still outplayed us today. But its ok because we're still top..... for now

That's correct. Now go and find some optimism from somewhere

Without that one error we’d have won - they offered no real threat

You literally cannot say that with certainty. they were all over us second half

 

[Danceswithhorses]

What that proves, is that our squad players are not good enough to replace the regulars.
6 changes proved too many for the team to take, and we played poorly.
Lati, Brau and Allen were passengers.
Wright was infuriatingly poor.
Even Grimes had a poor game...probably trying to cover for all the shite he had around him.

 

[CCFCSteve]

We dominated AFTER they equalised!

The way to win a game is not to throw away a winning position.

I thought we had finally got a bit of control / territory and had weathered the storm before the goal. Either way it wasn’t a great performance and I agree for first 60 mins the set up didn’t seem like it was working well

 

[stevefloyd]

Grimes must be absolutely bolloxed his game has really dropped off but when you really don't have much help in midfield its not surprising, Doug buy us a quality midfielder please!!!

 

[Jarvo87]

Hard earned point on a difficult pitch and with quite a number of regulars not starting/missing.

No great fluency or cohesion but still should have been all 3 had we seen the game out with a professional, do the basics right, approach, except no, thanks to a ridiculous piece of Sunday league esq, shambolic attempt at defending.

Chances we did have were flying in earlier in the season but not dropping for us at the moment.

 

[eyesee]

we were bang average, at best.

 

[shmmeee]

Doesn’t sound too positive on the signings front

 

[curly_tom]

It was a strange game. I thought we'd go on to thrash them after we scored early. We just seemed tired and ineffective again. You notice when you see Grimes playing poor passes and everyone falling over all the time when they're trying to win the ball. We didn't deserve to win. I think Lampard made too many changes really, I understand the need to rotate but dropping Rudoni, Saka and EMC as well as Torp being absent is a bit much. I thought Brau was very poor again, panicky and out of position. I would have brought Bidwell on myself.

Or it shows what squad depth we do have that we could change it up so much and get a point away and could have won it too

There's no excuse for not taking off the player that you yourself said was "infuriatingly poor"

When you have a player that's clearly not at the races and your under massive pressure, do you leave him on until they score, or do you make the obvious change ?

There's zero excuse for dropping 2 points today. Andrews is a fit and fresh midfielder who could of helped us get hold of the ball, but Frank just waited until the inevitable happened. Thats a massive fuck up.

Just said “well see”, doesn’t know of anything happening right now. Could just be being coy of course.

So basically how he is with all transfer and team information then?

FL isn't going to mention any signings until we actually sign anyone.

 

[matesx]

I get that it's disappointing considering how we've been playing earlier in the season. However, we've had a shit load of games in a short period with people ill and injured. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of swapping players like Philogene and Clarke with each other every game. Look at every other team except Ipswich, and it's a struggle.

We'll be fine, despite what some of the knee jerkers say on here.

You should read the bed wetting fuck wits on FB .... absolute bell ends

 

[curly_tom]

Anyone know what happened to Torp?

 

[stevefloyd]

I thought the same at the time but other than letting in a terrible goal on the break we pretty much dominated last 20-25 minutes and created enough to win the game without putting an extra MF in there

BUT we didn't score again and DIDN'T win so whats your point?

 

[shmmeee]

Nah not like he is with injuries. Honestly sounded more like Robins with his “I dunno why are you asking me?” Stuff.

Funny cos he hasn’t shut up about signings when the window was closed.

 

[matesx]

Minor calf tweak

Come on he's not going to say what's going on behind the scenes why would he

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Funny cos he hasn’t shut up about signings when the window was closed.

And now it's open he won't be blabbing

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Lol

 

[CCFCSteve]

BUT we didn't score afain and DIDN'T win so whats your point?

That it wasn’t the formation that ultimately cost us the game but an individual error

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Wright is just turning into Jordi Hiwula at this point.

 

[covmark]

No thanks mate, I can get depressed enough reading this site.

 

[MikeyMoo]

I think people would be more at peace with an away draw if we'd won at home. But we can't let one loss to Ipswich upset the cart. A point away against Brum is still a good point. It's the FA cup I worry about - play the B team I assume?

 

[wingy]

The crazy thing is if Allen puts that glorious chance away it’s 0-2 and we probably go on to win.

I don't know if was Simms or KKH running in I think he possibly could have left it at the 3rd attempt.

 

[stevefloyd]

Fuck me that was a joy to be a Cov fan during those days

 

[Deity]

You literally cannot say that with certainty. they were all over us second half

Charlton fans were delighted with the draw. They didn’t think they were going to break us down.

They certainly were not all over us second half.

What is clear is that we have currently lost our ability to dominate the tempo of matches.

 

[wingy]

Didn't have the bodies to go on and Smash them like earlier in the season.
Anyway should have got Bamford on the short deal, Frank's been badly let down IMO.

I’m fairly confident this is his stock response.
