Player ratings- Charlton (A)

[stss30]

Kuszczak-8-Couldn't do anything about the goals, kicking was better, can only remember one occasion where it went straight out of play
Bruno-7-Decent
Greer-6.5-Beaten in the air too much and a few aimless balls at times
El-Abd-8-Made some key clearances, good to have him back
Bridge-7-Bit quiter than usual but good to have him back
Bridcutt-9(MOTM)-Immense
Hammond-8.5-Best game this season IMO
Buckley-7-Lacked end product and looked a bit tired in the 2nd half
Dobbie-5-Very poor
Hoskins-7.5-Chased everything, played the Barnes role with much more energy
CMS-9-Very good link up play today and a superbly taken goal, very good

Subs:Barnes-7-Decent
LuaLua-8-Showed some great touches, if he works on his fitness I think he could be key for us
Calderon-7-Good attacking play, little end product

Very fair assessment, wouldn't disagree with any of your comments

There's a first time for everything

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Kuszczak 6
Bruno 7
Bridge 7
Greer 5 - was poor for me and never seems to attack the ball
AEA 7
Hammond 8 - MoM
Buckley 7.5
Bridcutt 8
Dobbie 5 - was pleased when we signed him, but form wise is very disappointing
Hoskins 6 - worked hard
CMS 8

Calderon 6
Barnes 7 - good touches, we had more presence physically when he replaced Dobbie.
KLL 7 - on fire...... Needs games

Support - outstanding effort everyone.

 

[Mellotron]

Would go along with everything so far except mark up Buckley a bit - caused them endless problems.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

KLL 7 - on fire...... Needs games

On fire? You can tell this from a 20 minute cameo?

 

[tweenster]

Are we likely to see Hoskins starting more often in place of Barnes? I hope so.

 

[Kneon Light]

Are we likely to see Hoskins starting more often in place of Barnes? I hope so.

Given todays performances I would start both of them and not Dobbie.
Barnes looked very good in the attacking midfield role when he came on.

You are probably right, I gave him 7, really as I think his delivery latterly was poor. Have amended to 7.5

I thought he looked weak in the 2nd half although admittedly he is always one of our best players so maybe I'm being too critical of him. Missed a good chance in the 2nd half, but with him and LuaLua on both fully fit we'll be a force to be reckoned with imo.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

On fire? You can tell this from a 20 minute cameo?

Yes. He was very similar to when he came on and destroyed them 2 years ago. Did you go?

Agreed. Barnes is better the more attacking position he is in, he wins headers and free kicks in good areas.

Exactly what we said on way back.

 

[stss30]

Yes. He was very similar to when he came on and destroyed them 2 years ago. Did you go?

Agreed btw. Thought he looked a live wire and was well up for it. Good to see.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Yes. He was very similar to when he came on and destroyed them 2 years ago. Did you go?

"On Fire" suggests a sustained period of good form, hence my initial confusion at your statement.

 

[Chesney Christ]

Bridcutt was absolutely different class today. Clear MOM.

Dobbie was an absolute joke. Seems completely uninterested.

Sorry, I don't agree re sustainability.....

 

[Rugrat]

Star performances from Bridcutt, Hammond and KLL (for his time on)

Most of the rest put in a great shift

Dobbie bringing up the rear

I reckon Bridcutt will be Captain next year ... Gus defo does all the talking to him and he's so calm and assured ... we'd really struggle without him

 

[u'vebeenamexed]

Couldn't make the game today - had to listen on radio.

I'll give our fans 10/10 - great effort today everyone that went

 

[BUTTERBALL]

They said on the radio when Dobbie came off there was no acknowledgement, no handshake, pat on the back etc. Was Gus hacked off with his performance?
