    A word in defence of Tucudean

    Having watched Tucudean closely in the last 2 games I think it’s a little premature to write him off at this stage. He certainly hasn’t set the world alight so far, but claims that he’s a passenger and isn’t trying I find someway short of the mark. I will bring forward a few items of...

    The spotlight's on you tonight, Jose Riga

    Take a bow son for a shocking display of team management. Rest your best centre back partnership for the biggest game of the season? Don't mind if I do. What's that? We leave the big guy unmarked from a corner? Yes, the return of and almost fit Solly, we can play two right footed players on...

    Hamer

    What was with the Ben Hamer abuse last night? Any poor kick was greeted with derision and he was alternately criticised for distributing too quickly and not quickly enough. He was forced to be playing 80 yard pinpoint balls to Jackson, who was the only Charlton player capable of winning it the...

    Tomorrow - What's the priority?

    Assuming (and big assumption until it's a done deal) Piotr Pan is on his way to us, what's the bit of news you want to see tomorrow? My view... in this order... is: 1) Replacement for Stephens, someone who's actually going to create chances for the prolific Pole and Iranian World Cup...

    Congratulations to Chris Powell

    Now the longest serving manager in the Championship. So here's a cheer, not specifically for SCP, but because we're using the lessons of stability we learned through the ups and downs of the Curbs early years.

    Match Ratings vs Blades

    General thoughts from the game yesterday Hamer - 4 - Truly abysmal for crosses. No protection from referee for first 20 minutes, which didn't help. Worst game for the club. Solly - 9 - Am running out of superlatives for this guy, who I really thought was surplus to requirements at the end...

    Kermorgant

    If one guy sums up what Chris Powell has done so far it's this guy... looked nothing at Leicester, shocking penalty in the play-offs, seeming attitude problem, point to prove. CP gets him in, shows faith in him, and he's not only winning absolutely everything in the air for BWP, he's banging in...

    The Alonso Topic

    OK, 2 parts to this... 1) Is Alonso fully fit yet? 2) Is there any chance he's going to get into the team? The way Hollands (the natural guy to sit out) has played the last 2 games makes him undroppable... is Powell going to resort to squad rotation, or simply wait until Hollands has a bad...

    A good sign

    Top of the Championship... South Coast Club 2nd in the Championship... Brighton Now in the Premier League... Norwich These teams are demonstrating (I know it's early days for 2 of them) the power of momentum. We've seen it negatively for 7 years, now let's hope we can fully utilise it...

    We are top of the league!!

    Predictable title... but definitely worth a thread on it!! And a top of the table encounter with Notts County to come...

    Norway

    Not a footy related one, and probably not one that'll prompt a lot of debate, but just wanted to register my support for all those affected by the horrors in Norway. Best wishes to all.

    Legends vs Cult Heroes

    Right, following on from Ponders' excellent suggestion... here we go with 2 lists... legends vs cult heroes: Legends: Derek Hales, Mark Kinsella, Matty Holland, Chris Powell, Robbo, Darren Bent, Clive Mendonca, Andy Hunt, Cult Heroes: Leaburn, Kishishev, Stevie Brown, Robbo, Feeeeeesh...

    A complaint

    I'd like to lodge a complaint with Powell and the Board. How is a Charlton supporter expected to put 100% into his job, or show true commitment to his family life, when every 12 hours we seem to sign another player? This kind of free-spending makes social lives impossible, every time you call...

    Euell score again, don't know where, don't know when...

    http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/504042734?-11197 Surely not? Personally feel he's not required in the new set-up given the wages he'd inevitably require and that this is hardly the area we need further signings, BUT... raises an interesting point as to whether any club has ever re-signed their...

    Loans

    We're probably getting to the stage where we're going to bulk out the core of the team with a few loanees. Obviously going down the route of maxing out on 5 loanees every year has done us so well... <steam> ... but one or two I'm sure could add value. So... who do people (realistically) fancy...
