Glowing reports from Hillsborough about how well Charlton played and not just from the visiting supporters. Corey Blackett-Taylor should have scored but his first-half effort was cleared off the line. He had a couple more good attempts but in the end we lacked the finisher we all know is missing. In typical Addicks fashion, we wilted at the death and Wednesday stole in to snatch the points.
Our desperate need for a couple of goal-scorers is beyond any doubt and practically every post from fans after the match made the same point. It really isn't good enough that we have started the season so short once again. We were hardly flush to start with but the decision to let Conor Washington go without an adequate replacement was negligent. Thomas Sandgaard's ambitions really have cooled and it's something of an indictment on his ownership that he has not addressed this glaring Achilles Heel. We may yet bring in the player or two we need but it cost us three points yesterday and we may yet drop more points before we get anyone on the last day of the sales.
The next two are Plymouth (Tuesday) and Cambridge (next Saturday), both at the Valley. We should be looking for points in both games but these sides have made decent two-win starts and sit above us in the fledgling table. We really need that pacy goal-scorer quickly or this season may once again be a case of 'if-only...'
