[SLB]

Not watching the game, but who's fault was the goal?

The madness at Charlton.

 

[Bertie Mee]

Why is Hoever trying to take someone on there. Terrible.

He’s bobbins isn’t he

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Chong playing like his feet are on the wrong way

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Chong is a lacklustre mediocrity and quite different to what he initially appeared to be in his early loan at Birmingham

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Chong playing like his feet are on the wrong way

Starting Chong over Hamer is fucking criminal

 

[The Crab]

Ipswich away vibes. This will be ugly. At least traitors is on.

Think I’d rather drink a pint of wasps than watch either

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Anyone else's securely stream like treacle ? Almost unwatchable

 

[drblade]

Is Seriki injured?

 

[drblade]

Anyone else's securely stream like treacle ? Almost unwatchable

mines fine

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Anyone else's securely stream like treacle ? Almost unwatchable

That’s just our players mate, streams fine

 

[Notts Blade 123]

I'll be honest, I don't even know what our gameplan is? We look disinterested like against Burton.

 

[Matlock Blade]

Free stream on sportsfire is excellent, apart from the commentary by Radio Solent

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Not surprised but god it’s tedious and disjointed. With players out and those on bench probably managing injuries I guess it is to be expected

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Starting Chong over Hamer is fucking criminal

It is absolutely unacceptable to be carrying a sub on 30-40k a week in the championship

This can't continue

He either goes this month or we get him back in the team and start actually using him

 

[drblade]

should have been 2

 

[blade86]

Chong and Hoever on the same flank is terrifying to watch

 

[Matlock Blade]

Why has wilder left all our best players on the bench? I realise he doesn't like Brooks and Seriki, but why aren't Bamford, Hamer or McCallum playing?

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Can we please get a passing coach in because these are fucking dreadful at playing basic balls

 

[harrry1990s]

Why has wilder left all our best players on the bench? I realise he doesn't like Brooks and Seriki, but why aren't Bamford, Hamer or McCallum playing?

Just wondering the same thing.

 

[toledo]

Two very ordinary teams ……

 

[Notts Blade 123]

Can we send Hoever back before the end of the window?

 

[espoo blade]

should have been 2

Yeah, absolute sitter that for Azaz.

 

[ml1997]

Why has wilder left all our best players on the bench? I realise he doesn't like Brooks and Seriki, but why aren't Bamford, Hamer or McCallum playing?

I never get why people complain as if Wilder’s done this for a laugh. It’s clearly due to trying to preserve fitness and I’m sure a few of them must be carry knocks.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Why has wilder left all our best players on the bench? I realise he doesn't like Brooks and Seriki, but why aren't Bamford, Hamer or McCallum playing?

Obviously prioritising Ipswich

With fitness related matters also prompting that decision

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

This is everything Charlton wasn't.

We look back to our weak as piss best. Neither FB can tackle, and Chong - FFS - he's crap.

Bored shitless

 

[Steve.C]

Wow! Probably the worst half hour of football I’ve seen all season including Selles. Terrible!

 

[YES Blade]

It is absolutely unacceptable to be carrying a sub on 30-40k a week in the championship

This can't continue

He either goes this month or we get him back in the team and start actually using him

Really odd that he’s not getting a start tonight with the team being rotated when players like Campbell and Chong are getting a start and have been poor to average this season

 

[Bertie Mee]

Why has wilder left all our best players on the bench? I realise he doesn't like Brooks and Seriki, but why aren't Bamford, Hamer or McCallum playing?

Can only imagine he’s thinking about Ipswich on Saturday

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Starting Chong is fucking criminal

Amended...

 

[Davalon]

This is fucking wank.

As bad as the first half dozen games of the season.
