Quote from: The Red Baron on February 11, 2018, 09:37:54 amI saw a few Charlton fans on Twitter who were fuming because DaSilva had been taken off and because the chap who replaced him played Blair onside for the goal. I found it a rather delicious irony that they conceded as a result of Robinson's attempts to waste time.Yes especially the Keeper who took the "mandatory" age to take every Goal Kick.The Ref warned him and then watched as a Ball Boy threw the ball to the Keeper who despite being on 2 or 3 k a week totally failed to catch the Ball or even get a hand to it and so it rolled (passed by a slug and two tortoises out for a stroll) 10 yards past him - thus wasting more timeThe Ref ? Watched it all and did nowt. At least he did finally book the g*t. Later the Ref went to a Sub to usher him off and he then did the applaud everyone in the ground before doubling back to shake hands with a Team mateThe Ref ? Watched it all and did nowtSo I was chuffed to death to see them concede a late goal - serves them right

Quote from: BillyStubbsTears on February 10, 2018, 09:47:14 pmBlair was very poor defensively today. He committed himself and was passed by the winger 6-7 times. He doesn’t seem to have the ability to hold position and jockey the winger in a safe direction. But fair play to the lad. He came up trumps at the end. in fairness to Blair that winger was on fire today. He roasted everyone he took on. Hands down the best player I have seen this season, regardless of his miss. Couple that with the link up with their number 22, who was also excellent, Blair had no chance as he had little or no cover in front of him.

Make no bones about it, the lad should have scored. Good challenge in the end though.

But there is a glaring weakness in Blair’s defensive game which really needs working on. He tends to commit to challenges, making it easy for a good winger to feint one way, draw the challenge and go the other way. If he could just learn not to commit, but to jockey wingers and make them work harder to get round him, he’d be far more effective.
