But this defending has been laughable for their goals and a couple of other chances. We just don't close down balls. |  |

We have been shocking - final pass, final cross, everything had been atrocious - all very well having possession but we have done nothing with it - it’s almost like we don’t train together or know what each of the team mates is going to do. | | | |

We should have scored 4-5 goals tonight. It's been a bizarre game. We don't deserve anything because we can't finish and we can't defend. Up until their goal we looked good on the ball and creating but we are absolute powderpuff at bot ends.
The actual football in the first half I thought we were decent. | |

We haven't had 1 shot on target. How could we have scored 4 or 5? |  |

Indeed.
Anyone can get caught on the break with a good finish.
But the 2nd and third are appalling lack of defensive comittment and nouse. | | | |

We just seem so, so fragile. Rarely seen so much possession coupled with so little actual threat, but if we'd actually scored we might have been alright. One goes in and we just crumble. | | | |

I should have elaborated we've been awful at both ends of the pitch. I meant the football we were playing.
Just can't be this weak. | |

Agreed. We've played well in lots of ways and actually one of the brightest/ most cohesive attacking performances BUT the defending has been utterly unforgivable. |  | | |

We haven’t. They sat off us for the first half. It’s the classic ‘keep it tight, try to take one of our chances’ game plan. We looked pretty but had no answer to their defending. And now they’ve shown more desire to affect the game.
We look utterly shot of confidence. Any time we get around their box there’s no conviction. Nobody wants to take it on. We’re overplaying everything and hesitating. Charlton are showing it’s a pretty simple game at its heart. |  |

Not buying that.
They could easily have been out of the game by half time. | | | |

Yep. There is no protection for the back 4 at all really. Nunez has been better than Cajuste in that regard. But we don't attack balls in. We just stand watching. It's mental.
And we have not taken any chances. | |

If we have been decent and losing 3-0 to Charlton at home we have much bigger problems than I thought. [Post edited 21 Oct 21:25]

We have shocking. Created 0 clear cut chances and when we have had half chances have failed to hit the target. | | | |

As could we have. They had a couple of excellent chances too.
Could have, would have, if my auntie had balls, etc. This is a typical smash and grab where one team frustrates the other by sitting deep and then is direct and takes their chances. It’s no good having all the possession if you do nothing with it. | |

Id also note that the 2nd was comfortably out of play. It doesnt go in, and its a different game.
Fine margins sometimes, even when its 3-0. Though that does not begin to excuse the awful defending. | | | |

System doesn’t work with the players we have. He’ll keep plugging away at it though won’t he? Fresh ideas needed fast. |  | | |

We haven’t. We’ve been complacent, far too many players hiding, looking at each other, relying on something happening instead of making it happen.
Akpom was unlucky to hit the bar, but beyond that we are hoping we get the right side of decisions again - handballs, offsides whatever. |  |

I did, you said we’ve been decent. It’s anything but. |
So you didn't read what I've written. You read the first sentence and not the several bits after. Do you not have the concentration for anything longer than a sentence. You could play in our defence.
On all metrics of the game we have been on top. Where we haven't is in competency to actually defend or put the ball in the net and we've got what deserved for that. | |

Our xG is now 2 vs an xG of .79. We don't actually deserve to be 3-0 down. 2nd was a lucky deflection, third was out of play. Game should've been gone before they got their first. |  |

I've just left. Sloppy all over the pitch and dare I say it a lack of desire too.
Yes we can control the game for short period but too easily lose our heads.
Beyond that can't finish for toffee...
So so disappointing! |  |

We deserve it for the defending though. Awful. And not just the 4 defenders. | |

For all the bad things about tonight, if we take one of those chances at 0-0 then I don't see Charlton getting back into it, we probably cruise to a comfortable win. So frustrating to watch us fold like that | | | |
