The result against Bolton was down to individual errors but as a team we didn’t deserve to loose imo but yesterday was purely down to a poor team performance and we got what we deserved. Both Bolton and Charlton are not going to set the pace this season they are nothing special and if we don’t pick up points against these sort of teams then we run the risk of getting relegated. It’s as simple as that. However I do feel that there’s lots of room for improvement once we get a settled team and formation.faith1234 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2024 11:55 am I agree with what people have said about yesterday game but we all know that this season was only going to be very hard teams that came down from the championship orient will find it hard to complete with them all money wise as long as the injuries are not bad I fancy a draw vs Birmingham next week

Beckles is now a liability he has no pace whatsoever,Pratley would have been a better option at CB (just).

Re: Exiles/Matchday thread vs Charlton
He did try to block it with his left though.
I was wrong to blame Beckles. The other points about sweeney and brown not getting the ball and Happe being fouled are all valid.

Re: Exiles/Matchday thread vs Charlton
You don’t really understand football do you beginning to think your a WUM too. Firstly that was a right footed challenge secondly all football players should kick with both feet or at least be able to make a challenge with either. And lastly if Sweeney had been nearer to the player he would have caught him and would have given away a penalty.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 11:13 amYep.

Re: Exiles/Matchday thread vs Charlton
Why do people only ever notice left footed players as being one footed? It's bizarre.
I have literally never heard that accusation levelled at a right footed player.

Re: Exiles/Matchday thread vs Charlton
IMO we are very weak on our left side, Sweeney although he try’s he’s just not good enough and I’m not sure O’Neill is that good at defending to help him out. Actually the initial Euphoria about O’Neill has dissipated. I said last season he’s a young player and needed more time. If Theo were fit I doubt if you would see him on the starting sheet. Of course we could play 3 at the back as we are strong there and play a 5 man midfield and play two up front but RW doesn’t like that? But we definitely need a left back preferably with pace or can kick with both feet.
