Wasn't at the game but listened to the commentary and the co-commentator said one thing time andd time again after we went 1-0 down which was "I don't know where a Charlton goal is going to come from" then I read Parkinsons opinion. No surprise then why we just can't win when the manager is obviously watching a different game> www.cafc.co.uk/newsview.ink?nid=35678&newstype=n |

chalk and cheese from saturdays performance. from the kick off tonight we looked hurried. Obvious that Brighton used the same tactics as Leeds and went to set out at a high tempo and steal a goal to which they can then dictate the game.....didnt work saturday but did tonight.
Thought our best players were the 2 centre halves whom seemed to take charge of the situation. The midfield was a disaster! neither central pair knew when to go and when to sit, and this showed with Bailey deeper than the centre halves on many occassions. I thought we miss Samédo when he doesnt play but was pleasantly surprised on Saturday that we didnt.....My goodness he was missed tonight!! Mooney dropped deep just to get some ball but that left us short up top.
And finally the pitch.....i'm sure it didnt look that bad at the end of the game on saturday? maybe i'm wrong. But both teams had to play the conditions & so why was it only our players whom seem to hav a problem with the ball in the mud?

"In the second half we had three or four really good opportunities and their keeper didnt really have a save to make. They've had one shot in the second half and it's ended up in the back of the net.”
"Our desire to get on the end of things wasn't as good as we would have liked but we certainly had the chances. There were one or two decisions which could have gone our way but the referee didn't give them and that's it.”
"You have to have consistency,” said Parkinson. "They played well and got pats on the back on Saturday but you have to reproduce the performance again three days later and I didn't think we did that.
"It was a difficult surface but it was the same for both teams and we still got the ball down and played. It was a night for getting the ball out wide and running at people and we didn't do enough of that. We were too happy to receive the ball on the outside of full-backs rather than running in behind them.”
Copied from the CAFC site, and I can't really argue with it as all of those things are true. We missed some sitters quite honestly, but the second half was all in the Brighton half. We were rubbish but we did miss chances which is part of being rubbish. I don't hold that Parkinson is not telling it as it is, he's freely admitting we were not good enough.

As I saw it the killer goal was Elliot's fault and nother example of how he can go from the supreme to the ridiculous, he has kept us in games this season but he has cost us points to and he was calamatous in their second goal.
Firstly he comes rushing out to the edge of his box like a headless chicken then cocks up a routine clearance that went straight to Bennet who raced in on goal before letting fly.
All the time Elliot was back pedalling and as a result his positioning was all wrong when the shot came in, he practically dived over the ball as a result.

Yes we did have chances - anyone there would clearly know that, so I don't know where that notion comes from - but at the same time you always had the feeling that we just weren't going to take any of them. |

Hardly surprising that none of the chances were taken when Mooney is always too late to arrive in the box, Burton's furthest distance from goal when he scores is the penalty spot and Sodje is like a tub of Lard.

Possibly, but the point is that we DID have chances, which is all the man was saying - isn't it? |

Indeed he is but Parkinson knows what the rset of us know which is our strikers are ineffective lightweights, only difference is we can come out and say it and he can't.

Agreed Reams so don't have a go at Parkinson, mind you he signed them. But at the same time he can't undermine them. I would be seriously disappointed if it's the Burton/Mooney partnership on Friday however.
