I had an exchange this afternoon on the number 1 Charlton forum.

The guy basically said he accepted the s*** going on with everything, because we are in the Championship! I'm assuming he has bought a season ticket.

<doh>

Ludicrous comment, if we go 6 games without a win at the start of the season the fans will be on Bowyer’s back and he will be under pressure. That’s the reality of football.
 
Bowyer's other problem is that any player who performs well is likely to be sold in January, like Grant was.

Surely they'd understand and turn their anger against the owner?

Bowyer will get a lot longer than that, similar to Sir Chris Powell.

We are a free hit for Bowyer.
 
Apparently Lee Bowyer said in an interview today that Macaley Bonne is (wait for it...) "One for the future".

Putting aside the obvious point that our only example of 'long term planning' by RD in he past was handing out huge five year contracts to useless players when the team was already as good as relegated back in 2016, should we really be overly concerned about "ones for the future" right now?
I thought that was what our own academy was for.

If LB thinks Macauley Bonne is not ready yet to help Charlton's 2019-20 Championship campaign why the hell have we signed him?
Unless the stories are true, and Bonne was not signed on Bowyer's specific say-so.

Another Stuart Fleetwood in the making.

The 200k package surely could have been used on a safer option of a a geezer with division 2 experience.

Yep, no disrespect to Bowyer, but that’s a familiar soundbite from a Duchatelet-era manager. Karl Robinson used to trot it out regularly - normally about Ben Reeves.

I'm sorry to say this, but ANY manager that takes a job under the Belgian leaves themselves open to strong criticism.

I read some interesting comments on Bonne from the editor of the Orient fanzine.

- his goals got them up last season
- he is a brilliant penalty taker
- he is poor in front of goal, and needs a lot of chances to get a goal.

And that was at non league level.
This is from a fan who actually watched Bonne in every game last season.
