Despite Appleton selecting a better team than he did at the first time of asking in the first round Charlton managed to lost to Gillingham with a performance that got all it deserved.
I’ve only seen the “highlights” but it’s clear from the comments of those who were there that this was truly awful and our boys barring one or two exceptions pretty much didn’t seem bothered.
Going down 2-0 after 30 minutes left plenty of time to get into gear and show some fight and determination to get back into the game. Clearly, that wasn’t forthcoming.
Here ends another F.A. Cup campaign. Dreams of a decent third round tie have been consigned to the bin.
It seems it doesn’t matter who’s at the helm they simply can’t motivate the players to get up for these games.
You’d have a few well chosen words at half time might have had an impact. Added to that why not make subs then too in order to show your displeasure?
Looking at things as they are now, a mid-table finish is probably the best we can hope for.
We can dream of a January transfer that sees better players arriving but without major investment that just won’t happen.
Things will probably remain the same until the summer and even then we’re hoping for a big spend.
In addition, we really need to offload some of our big earners who just aren’t contributing.
It’s a shame but this already looks like another forgettable season with Alfie May and Jones just about the only bright sparks.
Shockin juss shockin. Aysey come back please come back dahn our gaff n work your magic like wot you done against Brighton.
