He most certainly didn't live up to how SR spoke of him prior to yesterdays game.

It's was said in a previous thread that he was quick to have a pop at Sam and on the very rare occasion when he actually said any thing yesterday it was to have another pop at a colleague this time being Delaney.
SR has been superb in attracting some outstanding talent but his selection of O'Conner as Club Captain I'm afraid for me is wrong as he does not communicate and appears to blame everybody else for mistakes and at times looked totally disinterested in what was going on around him as he stood with his hands on his hips giving the impression not only to myself but a number around me that he is not of leadership material.
He was indecisive on too many occasions when given ball by the goalkeeper and appeared unsure what to do with it.
I just hope that SR acts quickly and selects Toums as the Captain going forward as he was providing encouragement to his colleagues throughout the game and showed the leadership qualities that we have become familiar with from the now departed Sam.

Tuesday is the ideal time to introduce the experienced Wootton and Jacob Mensah who was named one of the best young players in non league in 2019 into the back line because on the evidence of yesterday we have serious problems in the centre of our defense from both O'Conner and Delaney.
In was good to see that both Sam and Carlos made their debuts for their new clubs yesterday

One game too many as Captain for me.....

If people don`t like the gaffer`s decision maybe they should speak to him about it instead of slagging off the decision
We lost to a AFC Wimbledon side yesterday who have only lost once this season (Sunderland away) and have scored goals for fun so it`s not end of the world
Sheffield Wednesday conceded 3 , Rotherham conceded 4 , Charlton conceded 2 and Ipswich conceded 5 yesterday and all got beat plus Pompey lost as well - we have played 6 league games and are probably where we should be in the league
If we finished in this position after 46 games i would be more than happy

I don’t disagree with any of the above , but it doesn’t change anything I said earlier and I will be more than delighted for him to prove me wrong ! .

The manager obviously thought we could cope with Sam’s transfer. On yesterday’s showing there must be some doubt.

Lavelle was a decent player but some charlton fans don’t think so
Adkins must be close to the sack at the Valley
