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 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.
Good The quality of goals we are scoring this season Jordan Cousins ability Solly contract Bad The quantity of goals we are scoring Take over incomplete and lack of investment Sam Sodje being cheating scum Ugly The games against Doncaster - Travel and Time wasting Valley pitch The JA fiasco
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.
Was you wearing those tiny Budgie Smugglers Oz?.......... now that came out a bit wrong.... Love you too Nick ...... now where are those keys?
The Good Emergence of Jordan Cousins Goals scored by Dale Stephens (Doncaster) / Cameron Stewart (Leeds) The Contracts that have been given to Solly / Pigott / Cousins etc... Joe Pigott's goal v Oxford Hate to say it but Millwall fans and their Finding Nemo toys The Bad The Injuries at the wrong times... Cort / Jacko / Yann / Solly / Wood / Hamer The pitch against Doncaster / Leeds (plus the Ref that game) The lack of Contract activity for our main experienced players The Ugly Marvin Sordell Lack of Transfer Activity / Funds
The Good day at sparrows lane as part of VG youth team becoming bigger part of first team The Bad takeovers failing and leaving us all in limbo Sod All contract situations the lack of desire from some senior players The Ugly forum wars! lack of direction and communication from the club on key issues (takeover, lack of, contracts, finances)
The good: Jordan cousins Dale Stephens return to form Cameron Stewarts goals Woods emergence I'm off work till January 2nd The Bad: The takeover debacle Lack of goals/points The Ugly: The pigs haircut. It makes Danny green's haircut desirable.
Good: Stephens' goal Vs Donny Bad Kermit's non-comeback from injury Football for a fiver Ugly The fans behind me who "hate" our own players like Church, Pigott and Pritchard. The others have been said.
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.
The good: - Jordan Cousins - Wood looking like Peter Shirtliff Mk. II The bad: - Kermo and Jacko looking like they're past it - The pitch at The Valley The ugly: - The JA argument... I know I haven't exactly helped matters - The women of Oviedo on a night out
