Match Thread Charlton Athletic vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Oct (9 Viewers)

[fernandopartridge]

Just had a read of the Charlton forum, same cliched nonsense you read on here at times and other ridiculous assertions:

The disappointing thing is we can say without arrogance [sic] that we are by far and away a better attacking and footballing team than Coventry City. Indeed, compared to most in this league.

They're also prone to the anti Roland stuff linking him with the defeat like some link every defeat to SISU

That was an amazing atmosphere and finish to the game in the second half. The twist and shout rendition for 10+ minutes really lifted the mood and the subs timed right was just perfect to a great trip, finished off with Wolves and our fans winding up the miserable villa fans on the train coming back.

JCH was superb last week against Sunderland tho.

I don't disagree but today he was anonymous

 

[covcity4life]

Not sure I've seen him have 2 good games in a row since he been herr

I find him very inconsistent. He can look great at times and then show nothing at all in other games.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Think that's his biggest issue. When he's on it, his abilities are clear to see. Look at the Sunderland game. But when he's not, he doesn't influence games. And reverts to falling over a lot.

I have to say though at times his job has been pretty thankless, especially when we sit deep and thump it long to him on his own, and expect him to hold off two or three players without getting any of ours up to help.

Didn't know he was german

If Robins goes who do people realistically think we could get in?

The way things are going Mourinho might need a job soon

This aged well

Cov win away after being behind.

Wasps lose at ‘home’ despite being in front (more than once).

What a time to be alive...

Didn't know about Wasps.

Were they at the Ricoh today then? And they lost?

Geez. Gutted for them.

 

[Offhegoes]

No doubt the subs changed the game, but before that,we were very poor which is worrying coming after the midweek disappointment. Really not sure about JCH. He is not a target man or a goal scorer. He was out fought for every ball played up to him. He is no more a goal threat than Bianou, and lacks Max’s team play and enthusiasm. He’ll be non league in 2 years. Great comeback though. Pleased for Baka. Seemed to get all the stick for that dreadful Blackpool defeat, but he wasn’t the worst that night (see O’’Brien & Brown)
Davis superb today. Sterling solid and steady. Thought Kelly did well too

[Gazolba]

Baka for England

That might be difficult, he's not English. He's from Sierra Leone.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Fair play to Robins, I was thoroughly pissed off at half time but he did what he had to today. Also to Baka for the goals, especially the second. Chucking himself at that he looked like a player full of confidence.

Thanks for that, didn't know wasps had lost but that's put an extra spring in my step

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Goals:

Charlton 1-2 Coventry

 

[sw88]

Just seen the goals! What was brown thinking? The man was running nowhere!!

As for Bakayoko, I think I’m going to get his name tattooed* somewhere! What a player

*not strictly true

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

1st time we've come from behind to win since Robins returned to the club.

Lincoln, Swindon last season?

 

[Liquid Gold]

You're correct, I think it's just at the ricoh we haven't come back to win.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Is this the @Harry_Walker fella who posts on here? Just what is the point in that?

Pleasure. Just saw it on BBC Sports website and thought it would be nice to share.

I suggest on someone else.

Absolutely no point at all.

That's both dumb and pathetic.

Thing is, we have more fans like that. I despair sometimes.

Wonder if he was callimg him a shit c**t when that Wembley goal went in?

Brown was having his shirt pulled by their player to extent that you could see the heart rate monitor they wear. No excuse for the rash challenge though

I thought it was a foul on Brown, though you're right. he should have kept his cool.

 

[Gint11]

Been on the Charlton forum and in the main, they think we are dogshit and can’t believe they lost the game. There are some that credited us on our second half and how dogged we were.

It’s a cracking result but for 60-65 minutes we were pathetic by all accounts. It’s a results business but we must be better.

 

[speedie87]

Another goal that came from a goal kick for us, another one in eye for these managers who insist of keepers playing it short

Burge can't kick either

To be fair to them I think they were the better attacking team compared to ours, had Baka not come on and changed things the team would have had a right slating,
Before we scored I was thinking i wish we had someone like Taylor who could hold the ball up and actually beat a man...that man was usually the inept Brown its a good job the rest of their players didnt have the same attributes as him

I though their front line was the most impressive we've faced this season. Really liked their number 11.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Just seen the goals. Great cross by Chaplin for the second as well as great header. Yes he’s missed a couple of decent chances but his lively, intelligent runs and makes it difficult for defenders...I’m still confident he will score plenty.

Yes they sort of troubled our defence without troubling us too much if you get what i mean (i dont because ive had lots of beer)

I think he just needs to get the monkey off his back, he is obviously now trying too hard and snatching at chances he is only 21 so still only a kid his confidence must be low atm missing those chances lets give him an extra cheer or 2 because as soon as he scores and settles i am sure more will come
