CHARLTON 1 – SHEFF WED 2Another home defeat isn’t exactly the warm up we wanted ahead of a midweek trip to sh*thurst dump but then the man in charge should know that shouldn’t he, having played his part for both teams. Alas what we got was, well the stuff that had me drowning my sorrows for quite a while after the match – until I decided my vicinity to the Thames was maybe not a good idea and jumped on a late train home ...
Anyway, Varney reacted quickest to a loose ball from a corner to stab home the lead and it could have gone so much better. Despite hitting the woodwork twice we were unable to extend the lead and two goals in three minutes left us trailing for the remainder of the match. The opposition scorer ran miles through our defence without a tackle in sight for each goal which should start alarm bells ringing. I know some of the defensive changes are forced but there seems to be a real problem opening up (pardon the pun) there. However, I’m sure the manager had plenty to say at half time – must have shouted his bollocks off as he didn’t seem to have any energy left to rally the troops to claw back in the second half – come on tinker man – please at least look like you give a shit!?!
Where are the points coming from?
Weaver (7) ‘is a Wednesdayite’ but I don’t really blame him for either goal when he had the red sea defence in front of him
Youga (7) Pedro 45 says he has the makings of a cult hero at the Valley and I have to agree – I think he could be a real fans favourite – don’t let the bastards drag you down Kelly
Cranie (6) Not as promising as previous performances for us (and England) but still better than some
Ex Croydon bloke (3) Better play better than this on Tuesday or he might find the Thames quicker than me
Primus (6) Clearly not fit and not expected to play so can’t be too harsh on his second coming – with time (which apparently we don’t have) could form a good partnership with someone but good to see him starting in a red shirt again
Sam (5) Can do sooooooo much better than this
Bouazza (8) 2DAP MOM covered miles and put in some telling balls and looks likely to stick one in himself too
Holland (5) Sagging form can’t warrant place in the team for mr nice much longer with Jonjo and ZZ knocking on the door – not sure he’s a centre back either!
Bailey (6) Not his greatest game in a red shirt – but not his worst either – tell him the history and let him rip on Tuesday night
Gray (5) After a promising start to the season seems to be dipping like the team – shame
Varney (7) Usual energetic performance deserved more than his solitary goal, even if the team didn’t
Ambrose / Basey – came on with 20 minutes left but the game was over by then
Todorov Good to see him back – this guy can make a big difference – but never got going - yet
BARNSLEY 0 – NORWICH 0
Barnsley have a penalty saved in this lower half bore draw
BLACKPOOL 1 – COVENTRY 1
Seasiders take the lead but Freddy Eastwood dances through the home defence to take a point away with the visitors
BURNLEY 3 – PRESTON 1
Not the result many expected in this NW derby – Preston took the expected lead but a 30 yard Gudjonson strike equalises before Caldwell and e*gl@s take the points
DONCASTER 0 – SOUTHAMPTON 2
An own goal and a penalty may not be the ideal way of grabbing 2 points – but at least they did
IPSWICH 1 – croydon 1
Tractor boys take the lead which lasts just 2 minutes – moses equalised with a header but either side could have taken the extra point – with Lisbie nearest – these nigels will fancy their chances of a first league win and getting off the foot of the table after these results :-(
PLYMOUTH 1 – FOREST 0
A strange game if your names Morgan as his clearance bounced off the Plymouth player to be the vital goal and then he gets sent off – worse luck than a Charlton supporter
QPR 0 – DERBY 2
USA run out convincing winners away to Italy and look to be turning the corner – at least it lifts them away from the surrey bastards at the foot – and above us ... bugger!!!
SHEFF U 2 – WATFORD 1
A steel town double with veterans Gary Speed and James Beattie securing the points for a team who could be slightly richer soon – thanks to the cheating ‘old ‘ammers
WOLVES 2 – BRISTOL C 0
And they go marching on and on and on – with Brum not playing Wolves are now 4 points clear at the head of the table – bugger again!!
So another weekend of exciting second division football with some unexpected results and the again expected Addicks heartache draws to a close – I’m off to plant some Gladioli!
