I'm a bit split as regards the Charlton fans comments: their attacks on us as a club in general, and us as fans, are bang out of order. But as regards their, and KR's, comments of our present team tactics under Neilson, then I'm wary of being too hypothetical by taking much offence by them as I do wish we were still the ball playing team in this scenario and not the more physical team. I wanted us to add some physicality than under KR, but while still maintaining the core essence of an attacking, ball playing team. With that criticism, and that only, they do have a point.
That said, glad the mouthy gits didn't beat us!
Charlton were at least equally physical, and got more so when all their nice football was getting them nowhere. In fact that was probably the more surprising thing on Saturday, one thing you could usually hang your hat on with a KRobbo team was that if they took the lead we'd normally score more and win the game. And they arguably have a better team than we had in every season bar 1 under KRobbo.
