Tucudean's chance I will say, Keeper did really well but he should have burried it. Wilson had a golden chance but the ref had a shocker, his only mistake of the game (apart from letting Ben Haim off for flooring their man about 4 mins in).

Igor was isolated today, no support up for him. Cousins seemed a bit meh today.

Solly was a tank, Ben Haim had a very good game. Bikey odd time a bit suspect but he always is. Fox was poor.
Jacko did well, doing nitty gritty stuff, Gudmundsson was superb, his flicks and everything so good.
Coquelin was brilliant, thought he might be a bit lightweight but he covered so much ground and did so much work class.
Harriott frustrating, just take player on, you have the ability

Was a poor match really, but what can you do? Will we ever beat Millwall? Or even score?
 
Agreed on Fox. Like him on the ball but his positioning seemed to make us vulnerable in the second half.

Had we been playing a better team we may have struggled today.

Also Millwall were very negative with time wasting and fouls. I haven't been to an away Charlton performance since League One; those who go are we ever negative like most mid table visitors to The Valley are when we are the away team? I can't imagine we are...

JBG was the best player on the pitch by far, his technique is exceptional, we have a gem there.

I was wondering what his best position is. Might have been better in the middle. I'm finding it painful to watch Cousins being shunted around in different attacking roles, he doesn't have the finesse, tries his heart out but he's a defensive player, Gudmundsson is an attacking player and if he was in the middle he might be more productive, although that would mean dropping Jacko.
 
Dropping Jackson is still a bit off, I reckon, but the changes should've come earlier. Though I hate to say it, bringing Fuller on brought our worst 10 minutes of the game, Millwall could've scored in that period and JJ and Cousins (and the tiring Coquelin) were totally overrun. Bob made the right switch but too late, should've been after an hour. Playing 1 up front against those two centre-backs, who were by some way their best players, just isn't going to give us enough chances to score.

Thought your fans were very quiet yesterday TC. Almost as if they know you have a **** team with a **** manager. You are the worst side I have seen in the Championship so far this season, and I have only missed a couple of games. A team full of midgets with no standout player.
 
I have never even to a charlton v millwall game when the millwall fans have been so quiet the biggest following this season and made least noise apart from 1 no one likes us in each flag and the like they won the cup celebration at the end it was silence
 
I thought Millwall were very quiet. I have to agree with Royston that they were the worst side I had seen at the Valley this Season. I was really disappointed that we didn't beat them. Both sides had no real goal threat. Playing Vetokele up on his own against two physical centre half's didn't help us.Millwall looked more dangerous when Fuller came on.
We still need someone to play alongside Vetokele, but are we going to get anybody before the window closes? I don't think so.
 
We started off loud enough, but 15 minutes of watching that was enough to silence anybody.
I thought we were the better team but didn't threaten enough - all well and good dominating possession like we did, but we need a goalscorer. Thought our defence were in complete control and Williams was man of the match - completely bossed the midfield!!

If that's true then it was because we let you off the hook with negative tactics!

The Sun has Alan Dunne as MOTM - Callum Harriott didn't even play particularly well but all of our second half attacks came from our left flank.
 
Was surprised that a Ian Holloway team was set up so.. uninspired? Though I thought both sides looked happy to take a point and move on to next week.

As mentioned - Solly was the stand out. If we had just a few more of him yesterday we would have won. Selfishly it's good to know very few teams would take a risk on him, but it would be a shame if he never gets to test himself in the Premiership. I just hope we can get there for him.

Not a very good advert for South London football, was it?
 
Solly has been back to his very best in the last couple of weeks. He is good enough to play Premier League football. I watched Ben Daview play for Spurs today at full back, he cost £10m. If he is a better full back than Chris, my name is Emily Thornberry.
 
I was actually impressed with Harriot, looked threatening more often that not. Still can't believe Tucudean's miss. Bob seemed happy with a point from the first whistle, very frustrating we have to win these home games to stay in playoff contention.
