Time to get behind this man. He is starting to get it right despite having the rug pulled out on a regular basis and being doubted by a bunch of people who think they know football but obviously haven't got a clue. I have always liked him, but I felt he should have gone after the Brighton game. Shows how much I know.
Time to make this man feel at home, time to cheer his name and accept that this bloke is doing a good job. Time to whisper it quietely, PP might just be a brilliant manager and we might be luckier than we ever imagined.
COME ON YOU REDS, COME ON SIR PHIL..........

Parkys Red Army ?
What isn't going to happen?
Things are looking good, COYR!
So important we keep our feet on the ground.
;o)
Agreed, don't get too despondent over the lows and don't go over the top for the highs, its a good run but we need to make sure that we keep it going and build up a buffer of poits for the bad days, as brighton have and dipped into yesterday.
I wanted Parkie to be given till Posh, after Brighton, not expecting him to be here for Yeovil, glad he had time and glad he has turned it around, but we are only one or two injuries and suspensions away from mediocrity, so lets try and keep a lid on over hyping parkie and the team.
Our games coming up are easy on paper but these sides will be packing their area and hitting us on the break, defensive speed is not our forte, so whilst we should get the next 12 points in the bag lets get behind the lads and makem sure we are the 12th man to make it happen.
Spot on, Kap.
We are the 12th man. We can help make it happen.
Supporters and team together would make The Valley a hard place to come and get a result although our home record on the whole under Parky is good
And I agree not singing the
"........when we get promotion this is what we'll sing, WE ARE CHARLTON, SUPER CHARLTON, PARKY IS OUR KING"
bit of the song is very annoying.
Very droll Large
I presume if you go to the theatre, you dont clap until its gone on to have a long run in the West End?
Unfortunately I am feeling a wave of apprehension. Last week Brighton and Gus Poyet were the subject of a piece in the Guardian and they lost at the weekend. Now the Guradian have done the same to Charlton after we beat Peterboro! All we need now is the dreaded Manager of the Month.
I remember in our great play off season we came up on the rails and no one noticed us. That is what we need now.
I was missing you Large
Great stuff from Large, even though I disagree with him its good to see a man sticking by his guns!
I can imagine Large if we win the league by 15 points saying, "All he's done is take us back from where he got us relegated from, let him get us back to the Premiership and into Europe, then I will give him some credit!"
i always thought it was when we WIN promotion not GET ?????
LOL. Probably not far from the truth ;-)) In a couple of other threads I have given him credit for sitting down after the Brighton game and addressing certain issues and recognising where things were going wrong. We had the players but he wasn't getting the best out of them. Now, maybe, he is. Time will tell.
It never was the Charlton way to call for a manager's head after a couple of bad performances and I am thoroughly depressed at the attitude of many of our fans, both at games and especially on here. I was incredibly angry when I read a few ironic-free posts about how the backlash was what helped get us up the table. It put me off coming to this site, because it was all I could do to not rant about it.
What depresses me the most, however, is the knowledge that, if the going gets tough in the next week, month, year, or ten years, you guys will be there to start the short-sighted booing, whining and complaining again. Back when I was a lad, we were behind the team regardless of the score. We had a sense of the size of club we were, and how the fans could offer the team so much by being so positive in the face of dire results. I loved going to football back then. We belonged, and when people mocked me for Charlton losing, I knew better than them - I knew what it was like to be at the club and know it was about more than one result.
I didn't think he should go after the Brighton game. I said we had ti get behind him. And I don't think saying "I'm glad to be proved wrong" cuts it. You should have got behind him too. And more importantly, you should learn your frikkin lesson.
See - said I'd end up ranting. Now sod the lot of ya!
Us old gits should stick together!
I'll be a slightly younger old git today too then - sums it up prefectly for me, Jimmy. The awful thing about the Brighton match for me was neither the result nor the performance (seen worse or at least as bad many times before) - it was the appalling over-reaction of the crowd, both at the ground and on here afterwards.
