The difference between this season and last is that although the recruitment is still diabolical, Jones has to own it this time. Scott went unpunished for the disastrous mess he made of the previous 2-3 windows, so accountability within the club is clearly not a major issue yet. Jones has frittered meagre resources on Ahadme, Docherty, Campbell, Berry, Potts & Hylton. As for Conor Coventry, we have seen him play for us 25-30 times now, and there is clearly not much there. He’s a bang average L1 player. If he’s a West Ham player, I’m Jeff Bezos.
This from our travelling supporters yesterday. Courtesy of a poster on CL No shape No pattern of play No identity Timid Slow Negative Technically poor Stand offish All of these phrases were being banded around freely yesterday by supporters.
We've gone backwards since last season. Something that should have been nigh-on impossible. But just what we feared when our three best players departed.
A defeat away at Burton as almost unthinkable. The last vestiges of optimism will be gone. Especially if we play poorly and deserve to lose - a distinct possibility.
Tbh I can't see us winning. The rot has set in to this squad. As one fan said on Charlton Live all our games seem to merge into one now.
Godden must be playing out wide tonight if Ahadme & Leaburn are starting. The Tinkerman strikes again.
