Evening all, lets see what we can come up with tonight. I'm open to a surprise, please . Trying to stay positive
Another point wouldn't be too bad for you guys at the moment. Reading, however, would be disappointed to only take a point at home, considering our recent form.
I would be happy with a point, but it's pathetic to not have a shot in the first half, just shows what a shambles we are.
Luzon is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, it will just be the same thing with the next foreign puppet. We need RD out immediately. How can an expirement be so boring.
Am I right in saying the position of "head coach" can be easier to terminate than a manager? Perhaps your owner wanted that option.
I can't answer that question, but we have a head coach as the owner has a couple of 'scouts' scouring football manager for young foreigners to sell on for a profit (it's not working)
Our owner likes to keep control, even though he does not know anything about being successful in football. Sold our best players because "they're not good enough" but most of them are either playing in the premier league or going to be playing in it.
I concur. I turn to my friends, as I put 0 - 1 Jackson. They were joking that he'll be subbed. My response "if he goes off, we'll lose..." And what happens. Reckon we would have had a draw if he stayed on.
Just got home. Have not read a single other comment. That was really, really bad. 41 mins before we had a shot at goal today. Endless sideways and backwards passing, which prompted loud and sarcastic "Oles" from the excellent away support. While there is a small amount of sympathy for Luzon because his legs have basically been sawn off here, there is no sympathy for his tactics today. It's one thing parking the bus for 90 min.....our squad barely amounts to a Reliant Robin. Pathetic negative tactics with a raw and fairly hopeless kid isolated on his own up front. What is all that about ?! Our back 4 frequently got the ball, looked up, and had absolutely zero in front of them to pass to. JJ started well but visibly wilted in the second half. JBG stunk the ground out and was substituted. And my teenage kids have got more physical presence than that lad from Everton. What is the point of him. One thing that really p1ssed me off today - Bergdich playing in gloves when it was 15 degrees. Sort of summed up the whole team's lack of effort. Finally, I spoke to quite a few Charlton fans before the game and sitting around me today - there was universal acceptance that this Belgian mob has got to go.
You ultimately reap what you sow. We started the summer transfer window positively, we got new contracts for some of our better players, and got in some fairly good signings. And then it tailed off. With the squad half done, we stopped rebuilding. The result is that with a series of injuries, our back up is increasingly young reserve and youth players. Why KM and RD should expect excitement by the fans about the january window is a wonder to behold, as our recent record is generally bad, as every seasons results testify. The donkey drags the cart round and round because it thinks it will finally get the carrot on the stick, but football fans are'nt donkeys, and eventually, we reaslise that after walking miles, the carrot is no nearer. I won't balme Luzón yesterday. With what he's got, what was he supposed to do. Neither Ahern Grant. A youngster isolated up front is no solution, and you can't blame the forward if the service does'nt arrive (I was'nt there so I did'nt actually see him play). But the squad is weak because the Belgians don't learn. Einstein defined madness as doing the same experiment over and over again hoping for a different result. So the Madness of King Rolly seems to be nailed on. I went into this season with the same foolish optimism I always bring, but this monotony is sapping. I'll be glued to the PC for the Preston game on tuesday, but I may well be zapping YouTube by half time.
It's just not fun - is it? The summer was boring as we were never linked with anyone to get the fans excited (Henry being the nearest example). Friendliest were mediocre. Opposition and results. They couldn't even get the basics right like launch the kits on time. October 12th our latest offering was released. Past the hype that surrounds a launch, hence less sales. This is the first season where I've not really bothered to attend away games, and I haven't missed it. The club has my season ticket money - that's what they care about
I'm exactly the same. I wasn't bothered when I had the opportunity to go away twice and miss a couple of matches, I've jumped at the opportunity. Previous seasons, I would have been bothered, but this time round, don't seem to care. I rarely sing the songs anymore. They got my ST money and Valley Gold, which I'm going to cancel soon as we're just going to sell any exciting prospects, and they're using the money to fund his other network teams. I don't care about St Trinians or Anacorn, or whatever they're called. I've seen some cool places recently, and done more exciting things, I'm about to drive across the Mojave Desert in a week, and checking out some stupid sites like Bottle Tree Ranch and Death Valley.
