No one, as far as I can tell wanted us to lose. But the majority still have no faith in a manager that has now had two years.
If we don't get promoted this year, who was our last manager to keep us at this level for two seasons? Surely he would be up there with the greats.
We all want the club to do well, but are not sure we have the right man in charge to do this. If he finds this division tactically confusing, what will he make of the geniuses in the chumpionship?

Who portrayed it as the default position of anyone who expresses their doubts? Certainly not me and I don't recall reading anyone else who did.
Okay, maybe badly worded Henry, fair enough but there's been more then one poster over the last 48 hours that has alluded to those fans, them, that lot (plural) who wanted us to lose on Saturday. This sort of thing does give the impression that it wasn't just one lone poster who was that fed up they'd come out with such an extreme view. In this case there really was a lone gunman in the depository...

I can answer this.
Theo Foley didn't quite manage it. He missed by a whisker, being sacked in April 1974 towards the very end of our second season in div three.
Andy Nelson, widely regarded as one of our worst ever managers, got us out of div three at the first attempt.
Mike Bailey also got us out of div three at the first attempt.
Jimmy Seed saw Charlton promoted as champions in his second season in div three.
So if Parky survives the season and doesn't get us promoted, he will officially be the worst manager in Charlton history since Alex Macfarlane, 1925-28.

I think it was two people on the match thread. Only two but still two too many.
Love or hate the manager but wanting the team to lose is beyond the pale IMO
