Harry Pell scores against his old club, 1-0 to Cheltenham.

 

We are an utter embarrassment.

 

Is this our strongest team avaliable? Other than Solly I can't think of a stronger player. That in itself is quite depressing.

 

Pearce and Novak have also been rested. Salute to any fans that went - you certainly need your heads tested.

 

What the ****?

CARD holding up the boycotts, protests and action was the wrong decision to take. League Two 'ere we come

 

Novak rested? Suggests he did something on Saturday!

 

Sounds like we are an utter embarrassment so far tonight

WTF is Johnson playing after Saturday ?

Complete disrespect for the fans.

The Serb should start dusting off that passport because Slade's tenure is going to be a short one

 

Charlton had only 37% possession in the first half

In Slade We Trust

 

This seems to confirm what I've been saying, this will be the worst season in the history of Charlton, which was when we finished 13th in div 3.

 

We have had one shot on target in 68 min

 

Look on the positive side, we go out of the cup it leaves us free to concentrate on being relegated.

 

I don't know what to say about that. I'm going to get the whiskey out and listen to Billy ocean. I wish Riga stayed

 

Just further proof that Roland and Katrine are not good for the club. They need to pack their stuff and f*** off

 

A new low point.

Mass protests on Saturday surely.

 

3 shots on target in our first 2 games. Hit the ground running?hit the ground w**king more like.

 

But Slade said we had control of both games, despite losing both without scoring a goal in either.

 

Difficult to pinpoint the problems when everything is rubbish. Our squad is too small in itself- a run of injuries will eat us alive. On top of that, since Ajose and Holmez, we have loaded (and I use the word in jest) up with squad players like Crofts, to tie up with the likes of Jackson and Johnson. The result is that creatively we are dead in the water. We emptied last seasons team, but seem to have no money to buy new players. Plus Slade may say we need 2 or 3 more, but on the showing so far we need another 6. Johnson should be kicked out. Jackson should be coaching. And Slade appears to be under pressure judging by the nasty comments in the post match interview.
This is much worse than I expected. Katrien stated we would build a squad capable of challenging for promotion. When are we going to begin the building process? 21 days till the window closes.

 

Ken -

The "building process" will never happen, it was all lies uttered by a proven liar.

People on CL are asking 'how much worse will it get?' - look at ex pro
Sides like Lincoln and Grimsby for the answer

 

I don't think we're going to get five or six players. Don't think we're even going to get one

 

Don't know if you've heard his post match interview; Russ gets a bit defensive when discussing transfers coming in.

To paraphrase he uses, "we've been patient and got them in [...Pierce & Rudd]. Things sometimes put delays in it [...the transfers], but I'm confident that they'll sign soon [...intended targets] despite your pessimism.

The last bit I underlined. Did think that was slightly disrespectful from Slade to the journalist, given that it's his job to give an unbalanced, unbiased view of the happenings at the club.
