Newbury, I would have to disagree about your assessment of Charlton mate.
Appleton made some great substitutions, whether through desperation or tactical astuteness I don’t know but I certainly don’t recall him making substitutions like that when he was here. In fact I would go as far to say that was certainly one of his weak points
After the subs I thought Charlton were by far the stronger side and were favourites to win so under the circumstances a draw was a good result
With that said our tactics of setting up to protect our 2 goal lead backfired.
My philosophy is to go for the jugular and continue to press but if a manager does that and they lose then they get slated for playing that way.
Hence a no win situation for any manager.
