For me I'm not sure thats a red card.

To be fair, I reckon the ref has a much better view of it than you do with a blurry picture. It looks 100% a red card.

Wonderful entertainment, which has become a regular occurrence at our games of late.

So many impressive individual performances today; in Sykes I think we’ve found real potential.

Robinson must be given credit for the turnaround.

Congratulations to him.

 

[Sarge]

Straight red .... yep

I stand corrected....eastys straight red =1 match ban....apparently?

 

[DannyW]

Luke Garbutt even without today's excellent free kick has been outstanding in recent games. I'm going to be pleased if he stays on with us next season, a big drop in money I know but long term it may be the best thing for his career.

 

[Didcotox]

Mathematically safe now after today’s results

Sykes immense today ....shame he was sacrificed after eastys red card

 

[derek]

From what I've seen he's not ready

I'll second that.

He looks a cracking player.
I assume that he was put of position on the right today but he showed some pace and a lot of skill.

 

[Foley]

Doesn't Smith deserve a chance?

Out of interest what has he done to deserve a chance?

 

[DannyW]

I'll second that.

I would like to see James and Lofthouse even get some minutes though, possibly even Nico Jones

 

[derek]

What a game! Ref was bizarre although if I were a charlton fan I'd feel a bit more aggrieved, I reckon.

Thought Henry should have come off instead of Sykes when Eastwood sent off. Think he's my new favourite player - ball seems glued to his foot.

If it wasn't for Fleetwood's last minute equaliser we'd be level on points with them, never thought I'd see that.

Crowd very quiet at the start but eventually got going and felt like the atmosphere was back to something like the days of the Ultras.

Biggest shock? Hearing, for the very first time, "Robinson's Yellow Army". Incredible.

This is why we go. Buzzing!

Lighthouse? A very bright prospect. He'll shine for sure!!?

 

[Marked Ox]

because he didn't deny an obvious goalscoring opportunity as we played on and had a shot on goal.

He did for Jerome Sinclair stopping a 2 on 1 with the keeper. Their keeper should have gone immediately after when he pushed Drysdale also.

 

[Didcot Yellow]

Out of interest what has he done to deserve a chance?

We bought him as someone who has done well at Conference level, he talked a good talk in an interview he did, think he deserves a chance just like our youth do, I'd say he should get a chance ahead of some of our youth based on what he has done at conference level. However if he isn't ready, as some have said on this forum then maybe he shouldn't be given priority over the youth, the only people that know if he deserves a chance are KR and the people at the club

Sort of compliment of the Addicks forum.

Thank f**k they're subbing Sykes too

He's been a bloody nuisance all game

 

[DannyW]

Lighthouse? A very bright prospect. He'll shine for sure!!?

Bloody predictive text, changed it once and it still put it in. It's true though Lofthouse is a bright prospect

 

[Marked Ox]

According to the club it is. Ironically Jack Stevens was going to play on Monday anyway according to Karl Robinson.

Two things I will say after today’s game. Sinclair, coming from a premier league upbringing, does tend to go to ground very easily. To be fair to him it’s possibly how they’re coached in the top tier, but when we were up against it in the last 10 mins needing everybody to ‘man up’ having your striker rolling around in the opposition penalty area wasn’t what was needed. To be fair he had run around a hell of a lot so I might be being too harsh, but if he stays with us next season, and I wouldn’t be sorry if he did, he needs to take a leaf out of Mackie’s book and realise it’s all about ‘muck and bullets’ down here in league 1.

And Robinson says we’ve apparently got a meeting with Nelson’s people on Wednesday. If we can, by some miracle, get Nelson to sign up for us again, that would be the biggest statement of intent the owners could possibly make and would bring so much confidence in their leadership.

And what was quoted on the Addicks forum.

Yeah straight red deserved

Sure, by all means give him a chance. I've seen him play a few times for the U23s and wasn't impressed but a) not for over a month and b) what do I know?!
