Seems unlikely but nothing really changes. Peterborough beat Blackburn and we beat Bury and it’s game on. Yes it seems unlikely right now given tonight’s performance but let’s not throw in the towel just yet. I do worry however after Hurst’s rallying call that we still fail to get 6k in the ground, yes it’s a midweek game but this was a massive game tonight. Not saying it would have made a difference to the performance but I do worry that Hurst may become disillusioned with the response. Bad day at the office all round. Oh dear oh dear, we've still got people going for promotion. Read the person above you talking about resting players for the next 3 or 4 games. They know what they are talking about. We just need to all accept reality and go for the playoffs. C'mon Salop!

Jesus these Blackburn fans need to get a life. Or one does and the other is being decent. I lose track of which one is which.

a frustrating evening charlton were there for the taking in the first half but a toxic combination of a inconsistent distribution , whalley have a poor game and most crosses not going were they were needed , when a chance became available no one a gamble and the pass/cross went unchallenged and a very fussy ref who broke up towns momentum. ultimately if you dont score when you are on top there is the risk of been punished.
towns defence contributed to our own problems soft free kicks at times chaotic defending and too many free headers. the second goal just summed up a very disappointing night. town lacked any real urgency untill very late in the game. toto went off limping so hope he is ok
really missed ogog tonight but town looked clueless in the second half not sure what Hurst will make of the crowd whilst vocal i was hoping for 6,000

Good first half, appalling second. It just shows how we have got worse and weakens with injury’s from when we beat them away to now.

That's what I was thinking It was a poor attendance but don't need every one blaming each other now. Just need a break lets get over the disappointment of tonight. That's what we were so good at , Bouncing back. Blackburn should walk in to second with 4 straight wins now the pressure is off but would be nice for us to get the winning feeling back before the play offs.

Going into a play off campaign with key injuries and deflation for me is a toxic mix .
Going to need to really pick it up next few weeks with the likes of posh and Plymouth steaming into town.

PS - well done Stanley. That is some achievement on the budget they have. Truth be told, the kind of response I anticipated most other fans would have for the Shrews punching above their weight this season but there's always one idiot with a chip on their shoulder.

After an OK first half, that 2nd half was inexplicably poor. Every single one of them suffered from awful first touches, loose passes & seemed miles off the pace. The Charlton goal was on the cards for a long, long while and I’m shocked Hurst waited so long to change it. Jones was knackered after 15 minutes and not particularly good.
A great time for Payne to be injured and a situation to arise between Thomas and Hurst eh, our wingers couldn’t have been worse than they were tonight.
It’s the playoffs now and you’ve got to hope Hurst can instil the pressing game and fitness that got us to where we are, even without Ogogo.
Truly dreadful. One to forget in a memorable season.

Absolutely. I thought other fans would be pleased to see us doing so well for so long. I suspect fans like the Accy ones would be. Well done them. True fans of a proper club they deserve success.

Another game which we would have won (with Ogogo) if the re-scheduled date had not been changed due to the Fatuous Cup against Yeovil.

Two opportunities to close the gap and two fails, it's hard to feel anything other than disappointed as it's pretty obvious Blackburn ain't going to let us in again. Still Bury are definitely the team you wanna face after this set back.

in the Shropshire star online Hurst is saying "automatic promotion is unlikely" . seems Whalley went off with a dead leg which explains his poor first half . Payne was injured in the pre match warm up and toto has an impact knee injury i also thought the ref and linesman were poor recently we really dont seem to be getting any luck

Shows the Idiocy of Prioritising the stupid trophy thing that has driven big divides in the fan base. This game should have been played months ago when we had a far stronger squad but was dropped as the stupid trophy was more important according to only the EFL. If Blackburn and Wigan with far far stronger squads than ours binned it off as soon as possible, then it's no wonder we are running out of steam and gaining more troubling injuries now is it.

Well that was disappointing - nearly 4 hrs round trip which I'm now regretting. Just thought we look tired and lacking in belief the longer the game went on. Charlton were really really average in the first half but although we were on top we never really threatened to score. Second half was dire - barely strung two passes together and ran out ideas a long time before the end. I don't want to be defeatist but I don't fancy us at all in the play offs. Stating the bleedin obvious we need a couple of good wins now.
Can we have a whip round to buy Rodman some studs as well? & another thing can someone tell refs that we don't pay to see them & what is point of linesman these days. Fecking useless.

Thought the first half was a pretty hurried affair and for the most part pretty even but with us coming into the game more as it went on. I was really looking forward to the second half. However, second half was all Charlton other than injury time when the five minutes seemed to give us a lift and we threw all that we had at them (but without really causing them problems). That second 45 was as abject as you can get to be honest and a real concern that we can turn that sort of perform in at this stage of the season. No complaints, Charlton deserved it for their second half showing. We looked really poor.

No complaints, Charlton deserved it for their second half showing. We looked really poor. Agreed, Charlton dictated the 2nd half playing very little football. We need to learn to deal with teams utilising gamesmanship against a weak referee and stifling any football, relying interrupting any rythem, keeping the ball off the ground and winning first and second headers, playing for the foul. We need to learn to keep cool and not be forced into rash errors. Charlton did a job on us no doubt about that, and future opposition will be well aware of our Achilles heel, has happened to frequently now.

I thought it was only really towards the end that Charlton started to play up (going down, taking their time walking off, that sort of thing), I didn't really notice it until that point. I do however, think that at the minute there is a fair bit of frustration in one or two of our lads and its not doing us any good. Perhaps because they know that the chance of avoiding the play offs is now all but gone. That's why I'd like to see some of them given time to rest in order to prepare themselves for the play offs. Perhaps not just physically but mentally too. I say that because I don't think one or two are not in a good place at the minute looking to recent performances. Maybe time to take stock.

I'd gladly face Charlton in the play-offs.
For that matter, we have nothing to fear from anyone.

That second half was possibly the worst half of football we've played all season. Collectively and individually we were shambolic. We seemed unable to complete even the simplest pass.
Charlton's first showed the benefit of having someone who can take a decent set piece.I am beginning to despair of the amount of opportunities we waste because of poor deliveries from corners and free kicks.
Not sure why Rodman stayed on the right for most of the second half because he hardly contributed a thing. It was crying out for him to be shifted back to the left as the game wore on.
I'd also give Craig M. another chance. Henderson is now making far too many mistakes.
It's been a fabulous season but, as others have said, I'm now beginning to fear for our play-off prospects. The absence of Ogogo looms larger with every game that goes by.
Just hope we can restore some confidence and belief with a good win over the bucket shakers on Saturday and that Hurst can sort out his differences with Thomas. We need every man fully on board and committed to the cause.

Hendo kept us in the game. His mistake didn't affect the outcome of the game. Our inability to create a meaningful chance did that.

I don’t think Charlton dictated anything. They weren’t cynical and besides their keeper on occasions, they only started to time waste near the end. They were just better footballers in the 2nd half and Town were completely bereft of ideas & belief. There was a period where every single one of them missed the ball or scuffed it & that summed the night up nicely. Extremely poor.

There have been a number of other occasions when his over confidence have cost us points whereas I don't think MacGillivray has cost us any during his all too infrequent appearances.
