O’Keefe and Dodgson at wing back have been the worst players on the field by a country mile. Charlton have looked streets ahead in terms of technical ability at times. But Roberts has barely had a save to make. They’ve looked better overall. Yet we lead one nil and there’s a feeling that with some better choices we’d have had one or two more. Funny old game. Second half performance like last week’s required.
We have a strong bench. Was vital we went in ahead at half time. We can go on to win this, but if I was a Charlton fan I'd be well pissed off. Fair play to Kane for playing to the whistle. Great to see Phillips on the score sheet.
Definitely looked out. But so did Newcastle against arsenal last month and that was shown to have stayed in
Charlton have definitely had a clear edge... Good to see our front men pressing the defence more than usual though.
Definately out, and penalty not given, abart time swings an rarndabarts,Alfie will play down the right 2nd half, C,O,Y,R.
Imho...Charlton look classy and half a yard better all over the pitch. They will be very disappointed with that decidion....it was out but pleased for Phillips who has been poor so far this season. Best player... Connell who's managing so far to keep that midfield getting over run...they are very dangerous down their left. Hope we improve 2nd half and hold out. I remember last year they came and outplayed us here...as an aside for all their possession and slick passing they have yet to worry Roberts...hope it stays same.
Surprised to see we've only 39% possession at home in L1 - doesn't sound like Roberts has been troubled much yet though other than that one chance. Pleased we're winning at HT, need to be better second half and have more of the ball
Sorry if mentioned, been a while since I saw a full back rinsed like that for 45. O' Keeffe up for the Carl Regan award for defensive responsibility. Phillips looking quite good.
We’re not reyt good are we? Fair enough we might be doing ok in the league and winning today but this league is baba. I’m bored stiff watching us play, never have I felt less enthused about coming to Oakwell.
Former reds seeing red today.....Ben Williams, (Cheltenham) and Jack Aitchison, (Exeter) both off for 2 yellows.
