Never gonna happen but i'd get rid of Elmo. Pings a good cross every dozen and every team knows that's our only game plan. He can't get past players anymore and can't dribble into the box.
Nailed on 0-0 actually. We'll get 1 good chance 2nd half, it'll define final result. Charlton won't score.
Best bit of the game so far, Hudds back heel tackle! Both sides look **** up front, midfield looks dead. Defenders not looking confident or competent!
Not a great first half. Hopefully Bruce gives them an earful and they come out aggressive in the second half.
Gudmonsson for Charlton looks a handy player - but we don't look too good here! Give Hernandez a chance, pace looks to have the beating of their defence.
Agreed. Aimless Punts Upfield R. Us Do our "coaching" staff and Bruce work on anything except fitness training?
Absolute crap midfield. Meyler. Crab. Sideways passing, running through water. No intention of looking forward. Shame. Gray on a lance Armstrong diet wouldn't score with our midfield.
**** half. Absolutely no one getting forward when we win the ball. I wish SB would grow some balls and just let them attack. We'll lose 1-0 if we carry on like this. The away end is **** too. What's happened to our away support over the summer? Literally about 10% in the corner making a noise.
To be fair, Charlton pressed well and didn't give us much space to pass in to. Should open up a bit more later in the second half, Hernandez probably would have been a better option in that half but i wouldn't take Jelavic off for him, if it stays as tight as it is then its him I want our chance to fall too.
well they haven't had much to shout about. bring Jr on for a coupla crunching tackles - that should get our lot singing.
