80 seconds gone and we are losing. Wake up lads.

On the plus side, 88 minutes to score.

[Born again Bill]

Shame on the barter card supporters , 1-0 down and it might as well be empty

[Keith]

Need to watch the goal again but I think it was going in anyway, without touching Andersson, so not an own-goal.

We're architects of our own problems at the moment, but the ref isn't giving us anything! They should have three yellow cards already!

[Keith]

Ayunga, lots of step-overs but no end product, gives the ball away cheaply. Big long hoof up the pitch. Delaney let the ball bounce past him and 2-0.

Penalty now though!

[Keith]

Get in!
Stockton with goal number 15!

[Keith]

...the ref isn't giving us anything! They should have three yellow cards already!

To be fair, he probably should have booked Ayunga too, but didn't so at least he's consistent so far.

[Keith]

Watched it again. Soft goal, but not an own-goal. Leigh got sucked in to the middle of the pitch, then sprinted back wide, but by then, he was in no-man's land. Ball hit in should probably have been cleared but their lad got a touch and deflected it in.

Ended the half well, need the next goal soon!

[AndyReifman]

GET IN!

We've looked pretty good since Charlton's second goal. If only we could have started as brightly.

[Keith]

Excellent corner! Come on, we can win this now!

Worth mentioning Jones going close from the free-kick too.

[Keith]

iFollow have put a work experience kid in charge of teeing up the replays!

[Keith]

Excellent point against a decent side. Good game of football. Great resolve to get back in to it after going 0-2. Either side could have won it, but a draw probably fair.

Anyone see that at the end? Looked to me as though O'Connor and possibly Phillips had to be separated?

[Old Man Kensey]

Strangely with any half decent keeper we would of won 2 nil tonight, despite all their possession.

yeah possibly for not battling hard enough to win the ball back after coming late on with fresh legs.

think we’d be mid table if we’d one at L1 standard, but i totally understand and respect SR had next to no time to play with getting a squad together, looking forward to the next transfer window.

[P/T Indie]

Need to see the first goal again but I wondered if a more vocal CB and keeper would have had better communication to avoid the first.

O'connor has improved but still think he would be better playing alongside more of a powerhouse CB.

Not convinced by our wide players at all they offer nothing and they leave us exposed defensively, how many times did charlton get the ball down to the other end in a matter of seconds.

The biggest positive for me was we held out at the end a few weeks ago we would have crumbled.

[euston rd shrimp]

thought we were lucky to get a point tonight to be honest, but we held on thankfully, they seemed to tire later on in the match and ran out of ideas. our passing at times was pretty bad and we handed the ball back to them every time we cleared our lines.so a good bonus point there me thinks.

[Redalert1970]

Fantastic point after been two down

Results going in our favour as well with Crewe, Doncaster, Accrington, Gillingham and Fleetwood all getting beat

Onwards and upwards

[Redalert1970]

Charlton fans forum not very nice towards us im afraid

Some fans saying we were awful and some saying we will be in the bottom four at end of season

Also we should be beating teams like Morecambe !!!

Billy big bollox come to mind yet again

[Bristol Shrimp]

Yeah I noticed that, also saw they were complaining about the ref. I really don't get that. They were so fortunate not to have at least 4 yellows.

Funny that despite playing such an awful team, they barely created any real chances themselves and instead had to rely on being gifted two goals by our bad defending/goalkeeping. Not to mention the constant fouling to disrupt our rhythm - the ref was poor in managing that.

Not at our best tonight - even when you take out the two errors leading to goals - but we dug in and ground back two goals. That's something we've really been missing recently, and it's a huge positive to see us fight back from such a deficit against an in-form side despite not playing that well.

75% of our defence I am very happy with. McLaughlin had his best game for us - superb defensively and my joint MOTM with AOC, who was immense and got his goal. Leigh excellent as usual. Good energy from our midfield again. Stockton worked super hard as well.

Would like to see a bit more composure on the ball at times to ease pressure of ourselves. But we were really organised in defence during the second half after such a shaky opening. Positives to take from that and definitely a point gained - onwards to Saturday!

[jbc.shrimp]

Fouling seemed to be their M.O. tonight. Foul the opposition to stop their rhythm, then when they had the ball to press forward. Would to see the stats for how many fouls they commited. And the ref didn't help either. Still think we could have won if it had been a soccer match.

[marky No.1]

17 fouls to our 10 and 67% possession.

Felt like a win at the end, we didnt really start till we got the pen both on and off the field

[Andy D]

their 17, Rob Lee’s son stood out, Rob is ex Charlton, Newcastle, England.
