    Another poxy ref, scumbags are being bought by opposing 'acting' players. and we need a striker Parky or we are going no where. 2 points threw away thanks to Graham christ nowt changes.

    Don't know why we're having a go at Wyke here. If Graham has put his clear chances away....

    Before the game would have said a decent away point and a clean sheet. But obviously should have had the 3 points.

    8/12 points. We've had worse starts.

    Hope Kimpi can make a difference.

    Yeah think he managed that game pretty well. Although, unless O’Brien isn’t fully fit yet, I wouldn’t have taken him off.
    Jumanji will get a game next week

    They were playing 10 men behind the ball, not trying to play football at all.

    I expected Charlton to be top six, but on this showing they will be lucky to make top half. They are well drilled in the dark arts however and how we ended with 3 yellows and a red is a bit of a mystery.

    Another clean sheet is good and an away point is not to be sniffed at, especially going down to 10 men for the last 15mins. Deffo need at least one striker to remember where the goal is though.

    The lack of quality in the final 3rd will cost us at the end of the season IMO, every transfer window we have ended with a weaker squad. The whole club needs picking up and shaking too it’s core, let’s hope the takeover happens and new people are in place rather than just moving around of seats in the board room.

    Cos the refs 'big day' is when they get us.
    As an ex ref I hate saying it, but its blindingly obvious.

    First thing that happened when Maddison came on is O9 knocked him on his arse -- and that was the first of 2 or 3 of those.

    We’re not getting out of this league until we find a goal scorer. These 3 clowns we have couldn’t score in a brothel, all of them have had easy chances to score this season and have blew it. We should be sitting on top of this league if they done what they get paid for

    They almost went into administration and had a transfer embargo until recently. They are playing catch up but have a new owner in now - before the transfer deadline <whistle>

    He cant, but he can only go for so long shuffling the same loosers around with the pitiful goal return that will see us fail eventually.

    well, should have been 'our game' by half time, was good to see the front men getting into handy positions, graham and obrien trying to work the ball for each other...charlton reminded me of us last season, sending off was harsh i felt, aye last man and all that but it was one of those where both went for the ball, nothing malicious or nasty he just beat flanagan to the ball and feet collided...deffo a free kick maybe a yellow due to last man but i think that was one of the first fouls we had given away.

    gooch, too quiet
    hume, not really into the game at all
    not helped by the lack of maguire as even on his 'off days' he is running around making things happen.
    when those two are quiet we never seem as fast, plenty calling for pace and i have to agree with them, should have been easy 3 up at half time as they had zero threat at all until the last 20 minutes and even then it was 'mild'.

    plenty of chances created today, to not score only highlights what will be our main problem...our strikers are just not firing or thinking, with a little thought onien was clear yet graham had two ****e attempts when the pass was on.

    half happy with the point in the end but are we going to rue these dropped points come season end?

    Bottom line is we have never replaced Maja. We are desperate for a forward that can score goals they don’t even have to be massively prolific. Just a goal every now and then from a forward would be a huge step forward. Joking apart we controlled the game another clean sheet a couple of additions and we will walk this league
    Frustrating

    Painful isn't it. When does the window shut I think he's after a couple more, we were after that foreign lad (Argentinian?) so let's hope we bring a goalscorer in.

    I would agree but they are not and never have for SAFC. How many chances do they get? None of them will hit double figures imo. Time for change. I would be giving Benji, Diamond and Neil a chance in the team now. Thay cannot be any worse.
