Revell and Richards should NEVER play together.
Even if the other intended striker is injured during the warm up?

Start Grimes and push Waters further forward?

He had other options on the bench that he could have gone with - waters could have been shifted up front and grimes or Powell put in the attacking midfield role.

He has no excuse, an injury in the warm up is unfortunate but it has simply highlighted the make up of his bench is wrong. Rico and Revs together is never the answer, if Long was fit and had a mare he's left himself with no options to replace him.
Similarly I don't see what cover for Buchs we've had on the bench, who would play wing back if he came off? I'm guessing one of the right backs or Powell. You can just about get away with a full back being on his wrong foot, not sure you can with a wing back, surely he can get Smith on the bench somewhere. It felt overkill to have Moloney and Powell on the bench when playing 532 as they're covering the same position. I do except though that he used Powell to change formation.

Good point - he would have just about have got away with the left wing back cover if Matt Taylor had been on the bench but I think we now know what happened with that plan.

On the Taylor thing what happened there? Someone mentioned he refused to travel to be sub, is this right or just a rumour? It's interesting if true given that KT said at the forum it was never intended he would play every game when he signed for us but there was little other choice last season due to the struggles the team had. Someone is lying...or has JED started to lose the dressing room?

Players arguing on the pitch, supporters cheering when Kasim got the curly finger, Pierre with a massive strop when he got hooked, Matt Taylor obviously disgruntled at SMW getting on before him last week, Buchs '' Is it my best position, probably not'', No win in 12 competitive games and Caroline Dense.......... err possibly!

I don't think anyone knows what's happened with Taylor but JED certainly alluded to some kind of disciplinary issue during the week/before the game.

Sounds like JED has some issues at the club . If Taylor thinks he should be in this side - maybe I suggest he reads 90% of the supporters comments on social media who want him out . To start the game with Revell and Rico , despite the injury setback is worrying . Waters could have played as a striker . Crooks is way off the boil currently and he needs to seriously step up . Kasim is the same . It's all a bit of a mess

Coming from you that's a compliment you weird little man Not half as weird as some of the comments coming from you this evening; absolutely in your element at the moment. Grow a few and get to an away game; it might give you the opportunity to give your key board a miss.

That was bad luck for the Team! My overall impression was that we were second best all all over the pitch; only 3 or 4 players came out of this debacle with any sort of credit. They were Cornell, Waters, Barnett and Pierre! Would include Taylor but he was at fault for their first goal allowing Magennis a free run and header inside first two minutes. It also struck me that the team who played here August 2016 were a better side! To be totally ruthless a la Man04 we were shocking and could have easily been 3-0 down at half time. Rico and Revell in particular were overall poor and it was noticeable that Rico was ineffective....as for Revell totally lost and out of form.Waters was our only spark on the day. Powell does what he does best - goes awol. Bitterly disappointed with Crooks. Kasim had a nightmare; surely Taylor is better than this. As I have said before we can play any formation you like but if the players do not perform the basics well we are in for a disastrous season.As for JED then things are looking grim, out of touch with his players and supporters. Only 2 or 3 wins on the trot can save him now.

The worrying thing for me is how many times over the 90 minutes Holmes, Fosu, Clarke or any of their attacking midfielders bypassed our midfield and just ran at the defence with so much ease and time in the world to pick their next pass. In the first half Taylor didn't know whether to risk closing them down and leave Barnett and Pierre exposed or hold off on them and wait for bodies to get back. Moloney should hopefully start next week, we were much better going forward in the first half with him on the pitch. With regards to Kasim, I think its a bit harsh to cheer him being subbed off in his third game for us. However I don't think that him and Crooks can play together, they seem to similar for me, both wanting the ball and passing it as opposes to one who can do the 'dirty work'. Waters looks like a league two player at the moment, maybe he would be more effective as a sub. Final thing, Ricky Holmes. Oh Ricky. Ran the show for them, and I doubt I will see a more complete performance from an opposition player all season. They don't know how lucky they are too have him.

Please explain how Cornell came out of that with any credit ?? His racecourse-esque double fumble of a rolling ball to give them a corner in the first half was laughable as was his attempted catch from a cross in the second half resulting in another corner. These events aside, he managed to stay out of the way most effectively a defining characteristic of a performer desperately out of his depth.

I reckon you must have been at a different game, Evers, or you need to get yourself down to the optician. Barnett was badly at fault for the first allowing their winger to stroll around him. He is no right back and had a mare. Same goal, look at the video, it was Pierre not Taylor who made no effort to challenge McGennis' header.Taylor himself was OK, but he should at least have hit the target from the free kick that he managed to head closer to the corner flag. As for Cornell? Where do I start? His fumble from Holmes' effort was comedic. His positioning for the third, he was actually holding the inside of his near post when the ball came in. His position generally is poor, but his dive was almost slow motion. It warn almost a carbon copy of the goal at Shrewsbury. I predicted 3-0 before the start. The squad looks deeply unhappy, they don't appear to be enjoying any aspect of their daily and weekly routines, and we couldn't help but notice how much arguing was going on trying to defend set pieces. It is only marginally less shambolic than under Page.

The slim positive for me to take from that debacle came from the substitution of Pierre and the switch to a 4-4-2 (it was a little disjointed). The effect was immediate. The midfielders suddenly had options available, players in space, we started moving the opposition around, Crooks & Grimes swept a couple of nice passes wide and we delivered a couple of crosses. I know we were cut open easily at the end, but a back to basics 4-4-2 will see improvement.
We just need some wide players then!

No probs he was not a weak link on the day.Also he was not directly responsible for any of the goals. His handling of high balls and decision making was also ok. On the day he was one of our better players. Not saying a lot tho'.

Well I thought it was a Page performance ; was near you and at the end have never seen you so angry! Sorry not in the anti Cornell camp yet who was not the weak link yesterday. Have not seen the video so will get back to you on that. Hope it wasn't Pierre! ps Confirmed by the Chron ; it was Pierre....shock horrors. Not as bad as BR last season but getting closer!

Cornell looked shaky there's no doubt about that, from needlessly giving away a corner in the first half to a 'one for the cameras' save in the second half which led to a parry straight into the path of Magennis to miss a sitter.
We had some good moments going forward yesterday, felt the Charlton defence were relatively easy to get at, letting in Waters and Maloney on multiple occasions (shame the final ball wasn't better). It's the defence that's a worry, all three have quality in the air but on the deck there's a lot to be desired, teams that play the three often have a more dynamic player on the left/right hand side (think azpilicueta) to pick a pass, you could see that Barnett was being asked to do that at times which is worrying, personally I'd take him out and put Poole in there. Buchs, as much as he'll rant and rave about him playing there for Preston 4 years ago, just hasn't got the pace for a left wing back position.
Saying all this, the work on the training ground this week should be set pieces, set pieces, set pieces! It's criminal we're not more dangerous from freekicks/corners with that height in the team, and with Grimes inevitably set to start then we've got a player who can whip it in with real quality.
