Wednesday Woes!

Another frustrating evening, this time at Gresty Road, saw the Addicks put in a really poor performance against an equally poor Crewe side.

In the space of three days, we’ve gone from dominating against a Prem team to losing to one of the weaker teams in League One!

We gifted them the two goals and that aside Henderson had little to do which was just as well given his part in the goals and general display.

Washington returned to the starting line up to add some energy up front although as so often with him his finishing again let him down. Akin also started but this was not one of his better days either.

Famewo goes from playing really well to occasionally looking like he can’t pass the ball over 10 metres and/or gets in the wrong position. A few times last night he was the wrong side of the attacker. He needs to address this as he is undoubtedly a talent and capable of better things.

We started brightly enough and could easily have been two or three up after about 25 minutes. Yet again our lack of composure allied to poor decision making and finishing really cost us.

It was pleasing to see us battle back into the game but in all honesty I’m not sure we deserved anything from it.

The disallowed goal summed up an awful evening from an incompetent set of officials. Whether you feel Leko was impeding the keeping or not is largely immaterial.

The referee had clear sight of where Leko and their keeper were. He immediately gave the goal. The lino had his flag up but how on earth can he have any opinion on whether the keeper was impeded from where he was.

The ref had a clear and better view. How he allowed himself to be dissuaded I’ll never know.

I’ve mentioned before that since being made permanent Jackson hasn’t had any luck and yesterday was no different. Henderson wouldn’t have been playing if Macca’s missus wasn’t in labour and you can be sure he would have dealt better with the two goals.

If we’re not careful we will find ourselves looking over our shoulders towards teams below us. Thomas and co have just over two weeks to sort some transfers and secure our status for next season. If not, we could be looking at the unthinkable.
