    As we head towards the end of the year, I thought it would be a good time to assess the season thus far.

    I believe the Good, Bad and Ugly system to be more than pertinent for this exercise.

    So here goes -

    Good
    The emergence of Jordan Cousins
    Joe Piggott's debut goal against Oxford
    Chris Solly's return from injury

    Bad
    Chris Solly's injury
    The Marvin Sordell debacle
    Kermit's loss of fitness and form

    Ugly
    The Takeover Saga
    Our standard of football
    Another derby defeat

    Good

    Wagstaff's contract expiry

    Bad

    The continuing threat of an Andy Hughes appearance


    I still think that Last Season was bad all things considered. The shocking home form definitley stopped us from reaching the play offs; some of the home results/performances were abysmal.

    Good:

    Forest Hill Billy giving up deep fried Mars Bars
    Typical sharing a friendly beer with Rick Everitt at the Bexley Labour Party HQ
    Dick plumb discovering there is indeed a 27th Charlton site he can post on
    Tewks enjoying a well earned rest while his velvet smoking jacket is in the dry cleaners.
    Captain relishing his recurring dream of Chris Powell as the Second Coming
    A4L's pre match previews
    The emergence of the Pro Chris Powell militia- headed by Captain & ably supported by Thurrock, Chingford, ken shabby & Jimmy
    Eddie firmani extolling the virtues of Latvia <ok>

    Bad:
    The frosty relationship between Super & Ponders, two stalwarts of this site
    The banning of Ackers
    The non banning of glory hunter
    The non re emergence of a2c
    The disappearance of Houndal
    Making AHLL a mod....a bit like giving Mugabe the keys to a nuclear arsenal
    Not enough posts from miketyson and ybabobmij
    Too many posts from TC ;)

    Oh....and Oz Addick following our 1-0 defeats from Bondi beach.

    Good -

    The emergence of Jordan Cousins
    Chris Solly's 4 year Contract
    The consistantly good form of Dale Stephens
    The general organisation of our back 4

    Bad -

    The lack of ideas up-front
    The injury problems and subsequent bad form of Kermorgant
    The fastly fading legs of Johnnie Jackson
    A continual lack of ability to turn the valley into a fortress

    Ugly -

    Another long drawn out 'take over'
    The Valley pitch
    The general attitude and demeanour of Marvin Sordell
    The two ladies who site behind me that talk about work throughout the first half, pause for HT, and continue througout the second.

    ........forgot to include allowing the contracts of Stephens, Hamer, Morrison, Wiggins to run down. This will really hurt us in the summer for a number of reasons if there are not renewed sooner or later.

    Good. Jordan Cousins,and watching the U18s and U21s develop under the excellent stewardship of Paul Hart and Steve Avory.

    Bad. The current owners, who have taken the Club as far as they can, time to accept the lower offer chaps.

    Ugly. The continuous capitulation whenever we play Millwall. It has puzzled me for fifty years that we hardly ever turn up against the scum.

    Ugly - would be that excuse for a football fan (leeds) who appears to have an unhealthy type fixation with JA ! Each to their own by all means.

    I agree with you on the football for a fiver, FHB. Those events need to be outlawed for the sanity of the regular punters.

    I failed to mention the top work being done within the academy. That is a bright spark amongst the mists of doom.

    Yes indeed, I don't know where we'd be without Jordan Cousins. For ages the def/mid position was our biggest headache, not now.
