On the positive side, the anti-Roland songs were loud and clear for most of the match, even at 0-0.
Trouble is. he can't hear them in Belgium!!

What has happened to Poyet it's beyond belief how poor he's become when he left he was quality the best player I'd seen in Charlton shirt for years controlled games top notch but now ....FHB - Did you go yesterday ? I don't know about you, but my overwhelming thought watching the game was that "lack of quality' runs through our side like BLACKPOOL through a stick of seaside rock. From Fox at full back to JBG [non trier] in midfield to Makienok up front. How can you ever hope to win a game at this level with 3/4 decent players? Fulham brought on Chris Baird - signed from Derby- and had Scott Parker, Cairney, McCormack, Dembele etc. Quite a stark contrast.
I had some hope for the team when Riga was re-appointed but the performances we are witnessing just goes to re-inforce my view that he got out of it last time round by using CP's team and CP's backroom staff and the six games in hand that the weather and the poor pitch had gifted him. No games in hand, no CP backroom staff and only remnants of a team.
Do I think Riga can turn this round - no.
It hurts me to say this but will I be travelling 130 miles for home games next season with the current owners and managers - highly unlikely.
It also hurts me to say that the only protest which will work is boycott.
All the time we stand outside the ground and shout but still put money through the turnstiles and the food outlets he will continue to see us as stupid customers. He thinks he has taken our club the only way we can take it back is surgery and that means cutting off the blood supply to his regime. It will hurt but I believe the only way is kill or cure - boycott.
Anyone who continues to attend must have the most perverted sense of loyalty - it is like watching a family member being dismembered by a deranged psychopath and paying for the pleasure.
Fit enough to go shopping though- get your fat arse on the training pitch!Once we are mathematically relegated - and it shouldn't be long now - I hope that CARD/CAST and the message boards can unite & organise a proper boycott that gets the attendance down to below 5,000. Birmingham at home at the beginning of April looks the obvious game - we will be gone by then.
With a couple of exceptions, the players should be ashamed of themselves this season. Many are just not good enough for Championship football [Makienok, Reza, Fox], others have gone missing and have hearts the size of frozen peas [Igor, JBG etc]. I can't understand or accept why Fatokole has struggled to play 2 games in the last 18 months with a serious of apparently minor niggles. A very, very good source told me he was seen in the West End of London last Thursday lunchtime carrying bags of boutique shopping. Some injury, FFS
Normally when you get relegated it presents an ideal opportunity for the rotten eggs to get cleared out of the club. Sadly under this mob there is every likelihood that a new batch of rotten eggs will replace them. As 'they' proved again in the January transfer window- their 5th - they simply have f**k all idea how to spot and recruit a player at this level. What other team in our position signs so many so called reinforcements who are either unfit or so short of game time as to be worthless. Diego Poyet is a prime example - he looks 10% of the player he was an needs a pre season now !! Why sign him FFS!
I have already lost faith in Riga based on the evidence of my own eyes in the last 3 games. His excuses yesterday were risible. The result is not "unfair" mate when you can't defend corners and haven't scored a goal in 3 games. It means you are sh1t.
It deeply saddens and grieves me that the Club of Lennie and Curbs and Gritty and Roger Alwen and the Selhurst 5,000 has now been reduced to this.
It's not the players who should be ashamed if they are not good enough, it is down to the " network" that brought them to you and the coaching / management structure that puts them in the team....



If we stay up, it only confirms the RD regime for an extra year. The quickest way to get him out is to sink to Div Two in successive seasons. Then we could hopefully do a Portsmouth and get our club back.We're staying up anyway, boys
B&M- don't worry, if Roland still owns Charlton next season it will be a repeat of this season. Roland will misunderestimate L1 just as he did with the Championship. Whatever he says, actions speak louder than words, and his actions show that he will carry on in the same mad way, he can't change. L1 teams will find it just as easy as Fulham to score against a defense which goes AWOL at set-pieces.
