Our captain is back…….. I like that lineup. Ladapo dropped to the bench as well as Edun. And yes, Chuks is back on the bench. A start for Ramsay… will be interesting. And where’s our star signing Coventry . 4-4-fooking-2. Jones is doing his best to save us. Will it be enough ?
Really not sure where the creativity is in that lineup. I still hope Ladapo will come good, but as yet, I've seen nothing to suggest he should be in the starting XI until he shows us that his feet are genuinely connected to his brain.
Port Vale's game tonight postponed. Good news? Darren Moore takes the job as Port Vale manager. Potentially f**king bad news for us I'm afraid.
Overall we are really poor. The players that we have brought in on permanent deals, you have to ask why ? They are not going to take us forward in the medium and long term so why did we buy them ?That’s either totally down to Scott or down to a limited budget and Scott. If we are going to avoid relegation we need Chuks to stay fit and Ladapo to improve back to his best or at least close to that. Dobbo was Dobbo and was everywhere. Shame about the poor header for their goal. Chuks makes so much difference.
One point from two of our "easier" games in February. Less than impressive is putting it mildly. By the end of this month I think it extremely likely that Charlton will be in a relegation place.
A definite Improvement in attitude. We're not a good team but I think we're now up for the fight. We looked the more likely to get a winner, which is a change from conceding late winner's. Isted had an easy second half except for backpasses, so for me there are the first signs of recovery, although whether it's enough remains to be seen
Really interesting Interview with Freddie after the game. Firstly, he seems like a decent, modest man, which perhaps doesn’t come across in his persona during a game. Secondly his comment that it has been confusing since he’s been at the club, says much about the chaos of the last few weeks. And thirdly that he isn’t used to playing the target man up front (which is what he’s been asked to do with us). Perhaps some have judged him harshly - I can see him being much more effective playing up top with Chuks as the target man. So much is riding on Chuks fitness for the remaining games.
Our defence was brittle bones alright, this time it was Dobbo with a weak header to Hackett who gratefully plonked it into the net. We were already loking shaky before that and could have conceded a couple of times. Second half we attacked without much guile but lots of energy and managed to keep the ball in Lincoln's half a lot more. There should be a handful of games in March where this approach will bring us enough wins to take it to the wire.
