Sky Bet Championship at Craven Cottage, London
Afternoon all
Afternoon from a hot Spain. Had to have my Saturday bacon baguette early. COYW.
Good morning from New York
afternoon from sunny Cornwall
Good afternoon.... we're looking relaxed and confident and Charlton looks like lining up to be very defensive.
Good evening from Tokyo.
FFCtv not steaming, any other streams available?

Mawson grappled & pulled all over the place.Why no pen.
Why on earth did we have the pitch watered. It has nearly cost us with players slipping.
Charlton is controlling the game, we are now looking nervous.
Blimey. Charlton out of the blocks really well and the frustration is out already with Bryan on a yellow. We need to settle quickly and start playing our own game.
Hesgoal has it
Sess is beginning to move like his brother.... great ball in by Knock.... I think we are back in.

I got home just before noon to find Scally had set me up with a Sky day pass for about £7. Normally I am a bit of a Luddite regarding 'them' but I'll take it.
Charlton may well tire at the rate they are closing down but this constant passing back to Betts is frightening.
Should have been a penalty
Mitro did have his shirt pulled but made too much of it.

Mitro was pulling on the defender's shirt for a while in full view of the ref before he went down.
See not having a good game

Yeah, he is not consistent enough... need to focus on defending the right side for now, not so much on attacking maybe?
Ok I am ready for our first goal
Sessegnon is just too pedestrian. Checks back too often and wasteful. Odoi on please
Get Sess off!!
Sess having a shocker.
Sess is appalling today

He seems to have left his passing boots at home as well. Big test for him if SP perseveres with him.
Sess should be instructed to keep to his right defence position..... he can't get back fast enough and Charlton loving attacking from our right side now.
Really poor from Sess again
Allowed the cross for the goal
He doesn't deserve to start
Get him off!!!
That's the sort of goal we should be scoring.
Did'nt somebody comment on Leeds being all fur coats and no knickers. We are looking equally poor.
Poor, poor marking. Scorer had acres of space in the middle.
From the 15 mins I've caught, Sess has been dreadful and then didn't close down for the cross for the goal
This will test Sp's tactical mettle. Sessegnon off at half time plus Johansen I would say
We've been extremely sloppy and complacent. Charlton deserve to be ahead.
Yet again we have to question the mentality of the team. Half the time they think they just have to turn up to win. Not helped by not having a proper captain in the squad
Good lord
Sess now gifts a corner
Get him off now!!!

it was poor defending all round by the team Sess did no different to what Odoi has done for the past 2 season stood off his man allowed him to pick his cross
Sess just gave away a corner for absolutely NO Rreason

And Cav also known as Cav The virtually invisible.
I got up at 6am for this. No atmosphere... no bite
See should come off at half time
He is hopeless today
Stop blindly supporting the kids and realise we need to win not develop players for Spurs
Not sure what the reasoning was to change a team that won comfortably, away from home, a few days ago.
Plus the players have to adapt. We have a plan to pass out from the back, but they are pressing high and we are like a bunch of dummies, unable to adapt, unable to think.
This is what you get the big bucks for guys, pull out your fingers in the second half.
Cav has ability to do somehting special, but he's very pedestrian from the half way line. More energy needed.

I am on Texas time too. First half wasn't great. S. Sess is not doing well today. Harry Arter may need to come off because of some kind of muscle strain. He slid awkwardly while trying to close down his man.
I say bring on Harrison Reed, if he's available.
Shades of the Barnsley game. Being hassled all over the pitch.
The table doesn't lie.
If we don't win today we will be in the play offs, just. After 11 games it's usually a good indication of the team's ability.
Big second half coming up.
If we win, it shows we have that fight needed to get promotion. It's not just about dominating games and scoring a hat full. You've got to take wins, from losing positions, against good teams.
Big second half, which will show if we are good enough.
When the cross came over Bryan was no where.Gave their FB a free header across goal.

Basically the ball went to 3 Charlton players without any real challenge.
Odoi, Reed & Reid on for Sess, Arter & Cav.
No more right back. 3 at the back. The two Reed/Reids are on. Replaced Sess and Arter.
At least Sessegnon is off.
Good to see that no one on here is losing faith after that first half :005:
Mitrovic's foot got stepped on very badly. He screamed out. Looks in serious pain.

We will feel the pain if he continues to get riled up.
What a Worldie.
yES yES
Cavaleiro left foots a dandy into the top corner. 1-1.
As I was saying Cav The Invisible.
Sorry Cav.
Yeas!!!

They don't know what's coming... haha
oh dear
sloppy, real sloppy, several chances to clear that corner, awful
Charlton back ahead. Header from a kick back into the box. Bettinelli was probably too far off his line.
Failed to clear our lines. Gifted it.
Mitro should have put in a better challenge
Off the bar!
I was going to say the contrast in 'team Fulham' from the last two games is clear to see, albeit from the tele pictures. Mawson was just balling out the midfield, Bryan is right on the edge and the atmosphere is dead flat except for a section on the Putney End.
Nice counter attack by FFC. Mitrovic off the bar.
Mitrovic gets his goal! We bombarded the box and Mitrovic bossed in a rebound. 2-2.
Cracking 2nd half. Twice hit the bar.Come on, we can win this.
Yyeeesssss!
Now keep up the pressure!

YEEEEES
We are still in it... it should be 4-2 now.
Exciting match!
Mitro scores!!!
GJ is starting to lose his voice
Betts inj could be the start of some clean sheets
That's better. Bouncing now. Looked Offside by a tad but who cares.
Charlton visibly tiring in places now. Let's hope their subs take time to settle.
Should be 5-2 by now.... We can still win this!
Real old fashioned end to end now.
Wake up Ream
Lee Bowyer must be a decent manager. He doesn't have much to work with.

No need for such a comment.
Bobby Reid just sent in an awesome shot, but well saved by Charlton's keeper.

It's the art of putting fire in the belly and belief in what you are doing.
Great save.
We should be winning this by a canter.
Every single set play Mitro is being man handled. Nothing ever given.
Time for us to get a late winner
7 minutes extra time.

True but the woodwork and the Keeper are doing well.
Bobby Reid has been great since coming on.
We've missed so many chances. Their keeper has made some good saves, but we should be out of sight
We could be winning 6 2 .
That was a waste. Why did Mawson take that FK.
Yet another 2 points thrown away. Shocking 1st half but we had so many chances in the 2nd. Should have walked it.
All over. Couldn't get the winner.
Getting a draw says we are play off team, unless we improve dramatically.
That second half was some pretty damn football. BDR did his thing. Too bad it didn't result in a goal.
Time for the int break.

Only saw the last 20 mins but based on that we were unlucky not to win. Might have had a penalty but would've been soft. Reid should've scored but overall played well. I think Mitro should've done a bit better near the end, he lacked a bit of desire to get on the end of some excellent crosses.

What a ridiculous assumption.
Geat match, fair result. I'm satisfied.
But late but Knockaert had to take that FK at the end there.
I loved it. We were shocking first half, but I am really happy to see Scott make bold subs and change the system at half time. Brave and clever. We were the better team second half, should have gone on to win it but a draw was a fair result.
The last 20 minutes is a good blue print to aim for in future, we had alot of possession, but we're pushing forward with it and created a lot of chances.
Another day would have been 5-2 easy
Another 2 points lost really
We had 4 shots in the first half, 16 in the second.
I think Mitrovic was getting a bit too caught up.in his One on One battle / niggle with their guy,
