Dobbo at fault for the Fleetwood goal?

[reamsofverse]

Indirectly I would say yes. Listen he's a very good player and a leader but he switched off for their goal today.

Watch him in the highlights. He is inching back into the penalty area when he should be running to occupy the space Jones is in. If he did that Jones can take 10 yards backwards to latch onto the nearest striker while Hector then picks up Stockley. As it was Dobbo made no effort to track back to fill the area where Jones was and it's left to Asiimwe to challenge Stockley. You don't leave your right back in a one on one situation with their only threat.

Dobson has to do better than that in my opinion especially as captain. He should have seen that situation before anybody else and got Jones out of a position where the ball is going to come in straight over his head. You can never accuse him of being lazy but he definitely was in this passage of play. He has taken an eternity to get back into our penalty area.

We should have stopped the cross. Too easy. Nice header from an easy cross.

My point is you want one of your centre backs making the header more difficult for Stockly to win. A young right back just won't do that.

Agree - both my Son and I have said this. Stockley took it sweetly and subdued his celebration.

I believe so. Shame some of our fans didn't show a bit more class towards him. Absolute pricks those who booed him.

I remember a few years ago after a home game against Birmingham, some cokey scrotes on the Kent train platform were giving dogs abuse to some chilled out Brum fans on the London platform.

A big middle aged Charlton lad raced up and gave each of the scrotes a solid slap round the head then shouted apologies to the Brum lot.

Maybe the club could give free/reduced season tickets to a few lads like that to sit up where the booers are and knock some respect into them?

The booing of Jayden Stockley yesterday was pathetic and absolutely puerile. He never gave any less than one hundred per cent when playing for Charlton and left because he was no longer wanted. He ought to have been applauded, not barracked. 

Not sure how many fans noticed Junior Quiterna in the Fleetwood line up yesterday? He didn’t make it with us and I was surprised but pleased for him to see him in Fleetwood’s starting XI. I thought he showed some nice touches too.
