John B Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 Pardew must have been dreading go to Charlton with a team with no wins and bottom of the league. Yet the Armchair Critics think with better tactics we could have won. I think we did well and look forward to some wins in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the Saint Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 Totally agree yes we need wins but this was a very good point against a team that were flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint lard Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 (edited) And let's not forget we nearly did'nt have a club,Pardew has only been here a short time,we had no real pre-season and the side need time to gel....and all that. sorry,just playing devils advocate as that is all i seem to have heard since the start of the season. Good result against an inform side,but we need to start winning, and not what it seems,setting out for a point each game. I'm still baffled by the timing of Pardews substitutions.

But today's was a good result and the team will have gained confidence and the formation will change as we play against inferior opposition in order to get wins.

iansums Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 Interestingly, we have now played four of the top six teams. A good result today, unbeaten now in four. This all clutching at straws however, we really need to get the win next Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all clutching at straws however, we really need to get the win next Saturday. We're getting the tough games away early - which is good. Huddelsfield away, Millwall, Charlton away......doesn't get much harder than those (ok, leeds away will be tough, but again we can get that away early, as i think we play them in November?) our 2nd half of the season is looking attractive...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 Under normal circumstances an away point against the top of the table side could well be seen as a goodish result - I'm not so sure however celebrating the dropping of another two points is a luxury that we be able to afford much longer .

dune Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 It was a bad result. Forget the score and the fact Charlton are unbeaten, we dominated for long periods and couldn't score 2 or 3 goals.

madruss Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 I think it started sometime ago but the team does seem to be improving so progress is being made. Exactly. The improvement is there, but it's in terms of performances not points - which is why people get so frustrated. We're so much better than we were against, say, Huddersfield & Swindon. If the team that had played against Huddersfield had come up against Charlton they would've been destroyed. Instead we have a much improved side who were more than a match for the last team with a 100% record in League one. Looking at the next few fixtures, the wins will come.

saint lard Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 When you compare this result to those against Brentford,Swindon,Stockport,Colchester,i suppose you are right.

St Marco Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 I think it was by far the best result thus far. What stood out for me is the re-grouping mentality after their goal. We were for a period all over the place but gradually we pulled ourselves together to take a deserved point. The past 2 seasons after that happened we would normally go on to lose. It is also nice to see subs actually making a difference. We were the better team again when Mellis and Jaidi came on. Mellis was unlucky not to get a penalty.

lordswoodsaints Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 Good result today and I would have taken that result before the start,but the overall picture at the moment is poor by anyones standards.....I expected to be out of the negative before the start of September but it hasn't happened. It is still relegation form and if we had done better in our home games then this would have gone down as an excellent result. It has to be 3 points against yeovil or we really are sh1te.

Ambsaint Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 If we were losing every game it wouldn't be a surprise up until about now. Pardew finally now has a defense he wanted (ish), midfield sort of and a striker over 5' 9 (not knowing Rasiak was definitely off) at least. It's going the right way - I firmly believe it.

You're right that Jaidi and Mellis made a big difference when they came on. AP deserves credit for the switch, especially as people around me were calling for Waigo. Mellis was definitely looking for his penalty, so the decision was probably correct. The second was a better shout though there were so many bodies in the box and the ball was actually going away from goal at the time our player went down.
