Addicks 1 Wednesday 2
"Classic Charlton performance this. Not classic in the sense of memorable you understand, more just classic Charlton. You don't really need a report, if you've watched Charlton for long enough you can pretty much imagine what happened and that will be close enough." - Dave on Drinking During the Game.
On the way home from the game my mate told me that the players looked like they were playing for themselves and not for the good of the team. And is that the problem? A fine line between awesomeness and shite. My son further offered that despite lots of running around in the 2nd half we never had any control of the game. And of course just like our previous three defeats it all started so well but our failure to build on a lead or to exercise a dominance over the opposition, especially against inferior sides which patently Wednesday are makes us look non-convincing for large portions of games.
However with the way the top six looks now, particularly Wolves, Birmingham and Reading then play-off's already appear a forlorn dream. Nevertheless Tuesday is the perfect opportunity to banish, well banish everything really. Come on Charlton, lets live for the moment.
A word from Pards: "Inconsistent."
