    Only 6 points clear now, make no mistake we could well be in L2 for the first time in our proud history. It's happened to Blackpool, it's happening to Coventry, and unless this squad bucks up it will happen to us.

    The club and team are in a death spiral. How can you score 6 goals away to Oldham and Shrewsbury yet emerge with only one point?

    3 points from 7 games point to Robinson losing the dressing room already.

    Worrying times

    You mean Rochdale, not Oldham.

    Same bollox, though.

    On the final day of the season we have got Swindon.

    That game could easily be a League 2 relegation decider.

    It's cool, we will have a top 24 budget if we go down.

    Robinson spent the first 6 weeks as Charlton manager blowing smoke up the players arses and making ridiculously OTT comments about their "passion" and "energy" and "hunger".

    What changed ?

    Well, it's definately a relegation battle - Katrien must be so proud. Possibly KR might like to explain exactly whta happened last night and what the 'big problems' are, as a lot of fans would be keen for a bit of insight. He's already dug some unnamed players out - why stop there.
    The fact is that we have just announced to our rivals that we have a broken changing room and manager/player problems. The manager has also admitted he doesn't know what to do about it. Well, here's a clue Robinson. In your next job, try to reduce your presence on the microphone by about 98%. We're not children, All this gushing is unnecessary. Just try and win some bloody games, and keep schtum.

    By my reckoning, the Pecking Order is now as follows-

    O'Loughlin - 20 games March - Oct

    Jackson - 20 games Oct - Xmas

    Driesen - New Year 2018

    Whoever the manager is, he won't be able to instil that bit of fear needed. At our club it's the managers who are afraid of the players.

    And these same players are going to be very hard to shift this summer, because the genius Meire has given them lengthy and lucrative contracts.

    Can't see many League One clubs bidding for Tony Watt...

    Doesn't TWWW's contract run out this summer? And his career too possibly.

    Another year for Watt. He will go on loan to Staines, score 1 in 19, get sent back and CAFC will go on about how he has actually matured this time.

    Last nights Tweet from Watt-

    "Such a frustrating evening. Thanks to the fans for the support tonight. Deserved better"

    He actually got 40 likes for that <doh>

    Half of SCP's record then. Never mind, lessons have been learned, and Dickie has rediscovered his passion. And Kr is going to get full backing in the summer to get us back into L1/Championship, whichever applies.

    Need a miracle to stay up as things stand. Hard to see where the next draw is coming from, let alone a win.

    You can almost accept our players being poor, but this lot are a bunch of cowards as well.

    The fact is we have gone backwards since Slade - at least he had this dross organised defensively.

    We resemble a pub side under Robinson, no organisation or tactical discipline whatsoever.
