Is it only me that thinks that his changes occur to late in a game? He only made 1 change today and that was with only 10 minutes left. We have two forwards loaned from the PL on our bench, yet when we are 1-0 down we prefer to shove Docherty upfront instead??? Inexperience as a manager, incompetence or is it meant to be that way???
I can't see how it helps!

We extend loans and pay their wages to sit in reserve.
Like it or not, He is in charge.
He decides who's on the pitch.
Support Him & CAFC.
"He's learning"
Are you sure ? He's a dreadful excuse for a manager. Ithought pakinson was the pits but Chris powell is no better & looking at the quality of loans he's brought in like Bessone,nouble & stewart on trial there is nothing to show me that we'll be in any better a position this time next year than we are now. His substitutions are a joke, how is reid going to influence a game with 10 minutes left?
I've bought a season for next year but in the hope that the board realise what a monumental mistake they have made & pay CP off in the summer
Buy a season ticket and slag the manager off 4 months before the season starts !
The lack of home attendance may show the way people are thinking at present...
Last 15 games reads 1 win, 4 draws, 11 defeats - 7 points from a possible 45.
Chris Powell is a joke he hasn't got a clue how to manage. He is so out of his depth it has become laughable. Next season with him in charge the only way we will get out of this division is to go down to Division 2.
But, CP is the manager.
"We" support Charlton.
ergo: We support CP.
Sorry, but this is nonsense. No reasoned assessment can be made until next season. And these most certainly are not reasoned assessments!
So from the last 15 games we got 16 results?

So oldgit are you suggesting that I shouldn't buy a season ticket because my head isn't buried up my arse & can see the disaster awaiting us.
Or should i not be allowed to voice an opinion unless it agrees with yours ?
I'm afraid you're part of the problem then. Parkinson was the pits, Chris Powell even worse, the next man?
Not at-all "Bob", everyone has opinions.
Mine happens to be that the fact that I'm a CAFC "Supporter" I "Support" the Team.
I cannot and never will understand why "supporters" "Boo" their team. I always think that the "supporter" bit gives aclue what you should do.
As I say, that is My opinion.
But the changes or lack of, are the problem for me.
With the game quite evenly balanced around the 70 minute mark, bringing on Ecclestone and replacing the hopeless Benson with Nouble could have won us the game.
The tiring legs of Hudds would have struggled to cope with those two.
Oh well, another week of wages down the drain, for two players who don't get a look in.
Yes, I'm sure a lot of people on here, whether they admit it or not, and whether they liked the guy personally or not,
DID think Parky was the pits as a manager. That is until you see what has happened since his demise. I think I'll
agree more with the poster who once said something like....."when Parky was sacked, we were 5th. Now......."
Get a grip.... Parky has gone, and he was not the f**ckin oracle with the answer to all our prayers. In fact he was one of the worst managers we have ever had in the grand scheme of things.
Powell is here and moaning about his substitutions (or lack of) in a meaningless game gets you nowhere. Wait to see if he fails with HIS new signings next season, then you can all have your I TOLD YOU SO DAY and boo all the players off. Maybe, just maybe, you might be happy then. This season has been over for weeks, why not invest the energy you put into moaning by backing the new owners and management and seeing where that gets us. Just a change of emphasis I know, but it might just work...
Why play loanees we know we won't be keeping? Or players seen as dead wood? Why not use these last few games as a test to see which of these current possibles are up to the job? See who works well with who, who can't pass for sh*t, who works hard playing games that are now meaningless.
Just a thought.
Bringing Powell in was always going to be at the sacrifice of promotion this year, they alluded to that when he was hired. It's just made harder to swallow because we were 5th when he arrived and won four on the trot. Under the new regime this is just the one step backwards to go two forward. We are building to not just try and go up next year but be in a position to keep improving after that. It takes time to do that. Performances like yesterday show that it's heading in the right direction albeit slowly and unless you have tons of cash to buy instant success this is the way we have to do it. We have grown impatient as a fan base which is understandable but we are going to have to just hold back a little while, watch what happens in the summer and go again next year.
At last! Someone on this forum is talking a bit of sense.
