For all the skill and tactics in modern football, it so frequently comes down to effort and desire. Today we seemed to lack any of that. What’s more troubling is there was no improvement with changes, in fact the substitutes seemed to lower the effort level. If we’re without Carter and now Alebiosu the very predictable shortsightedness of the transfer window is going to come home to roost. And well before the busy festive period most expected.

We are incredibly soft. Following the lead of our captain. Charlton have been frat to every ball, more physical, faster. It’s been utterly dominant since the first 20 min

Loads of it. You can see Wharton screaming at him to close down.

Great strike. Miller doesn’t have the pace to keep up. And Tavares embarrassing attempt to close down Carey.

Should have conceded another there. Second best to everything now

Cantwell getting muscled off the ball two times in a row there. Both probably should have been fouls

Charlton are poor but out working us all over the pitch.

Incredibly sloppy. Can’t seem to get a hold of this.

Hand extended on the slide. Would have been harsh on the player but it’s a penalty all day

Stonewall penalty that.

We are shite at free kicks.

Good work by miller there

Toth borrowing Pears cap for the second half?

Should have conceded another there. This looks dangerously close to getting out of hand

Tavares on for Alebiosu. Odd one that and only highlights our back up right back is playing center half because cater is injured and we sold our starting center half in the last seconds of deadline day.

Sloppy first half. There are goals out there for us but do we have the ability to capitalize. Charlton not good but we’ve looked uninspired. That free kick from Pickering was absolutely rubbish.

Poor goal keeping and the only chance they’ve created. Someone start a rain dance

Makes the decision to sell Hyam even worse now than 4 weeks ago

Injured in training and will be out “a while” per V. Who ever could have seen this coming when we sold Hyam in the last hour of deadline day.

Not the same. Part of the “review” should be all the facts. Like the game that was an abandoned and not replayed because it was meaningless, the more meaningful the match is should be part of the decision. At this point the match is meaningful but not yet known how much so.

It makes the most since for the FA to take each case differently. Simply saying if you played x number of minutes the the match stands is too simple. What if we’re down a goal but playing 11 vs 9? What if it’s 0-0 and there was 20 min of injury time at the start of the half? What if the abandonment is supporter related, cut the flood lights, or breaking a water pipe? The FA have already shown if the match doesn’t matter then no need to replay, and other times had a full replay. Surely each situation should be reviewed and independently decides of an outcome.

Better make sure we hit send instead of save

Is it any more logically different than organizing a full 90 min match? Got to find a day, get a ref, and get the team here. 10 min or 90 it’s the same, only difference is ticket sales and of course the 1-0 score and 10 v 11

The bit about travel is ridiculous, there’s a return fixture, just play out the 10 min before that match. Take a break then start the away match. Sure we don’t have the home supporters for the last 10 min but seems the most fair and logical result…which of course means it won’t be the solution.

Maybe we should hire the same firm that so successfully argued the EFL into letting us buy O’Brian and Brierly…
