Match Day Thread Home v Birmingham City

Lovely to get back to domestic football, Charlton and the Shrine today

 

See you in The Plume of Feathers around 13.30

 

You won’t ?

I’m predicting an attendance of 20,000

Let’s see where we are at 5pm

 

The Chandos on St Martin's Lane probably.

 

Wow, that was poor.

Didn’t see that performance coming after the last few weeks. Too many players miles off their games today, with Field, Hemed & Leko the worst offenders. Oztumer has simply got to do better that what he produced in 60 mins.

Jonny Williams must start every game.

A step backwards today, and probably a much needed reality check.

Good to see @Clb74

 

Seems as though momentum was interrupted and perhaps focus lost.
Add Taylor's injury (which now sounds like it could keep him out for several more games) and it's a recipe for a reality check, as you say Royston.

I was not feeling very confident about Charlton winning this one, though I hoped for a point.
Now we will have to wait and see how long Taylor is really going to be out for.

 

We missed Taylor today. Tomer Hemed was dreadful. Miles off the pace, and contributed nothing.

The other Brighton lad was comically bad when he came on.

Pratley is better than Field, who missed a tackle in the middle which led directly to their winning goal.

 

Yeh plenty of poor performances out there today, the worst being the ref

 

I guess we had that one coming. An average performance against average opposition, but they got the goal and defended as if a win depended on it. I would guess the Brighton guys are a way off match fit - a run out or two in the Caribao cup (however you spell it) would have been usefull. But these sort of days are going to happen this season.

 

If we finish mid table we should all do hand stands. A massive achievement.

 

I told everybody we would lose, I know my football.

 

I was in the beer garden of the Royal Oak when I heard a cheer go up, I knew it was not us.

 

I bet you enjoyed the 100 year Valley anniversary programme yesterday, you rank hypocrite.

How many souvenir copes did you buy ??

 

Not purchased yet.

No programme sellers around at 15.55

 

It will no doubt be an interesting read, I cannot wait to lay my hands on it.

 

That's what you say about the till receipts isn't it?

 

Charity work is very rewarding.

 

I think it is only you and JustGiving that make a very nice living from Charity.

 

And Bob Geldof.
