in General Charlton
Doesn't wear a suit as well as his predecessor, looks a bit like Blake Carrington from Dynasty.

    Well, Blake was quite a guy, as I recall. No Dex Dexter, but still an impressive man.

    You're right there mate, Dex Dexter stands alone above all other men (apart from Chris Powell).

    Jonathan Hart was 'quite a guy'

    Will have to see him a few more times before I can do impressions of him.

    The suits reminded me of Rodney Trotter after he carried them boxes of tomatoes into the Nags Head.

    Thought they both looked very dapper and seemed to have a bit of authority round him aswell as the fact we played well and made early subs but don't know why I say this most will just slag him off anyway.

    Press boys just laid into him in the press conference certainly didn't hold back and it's confirmed he knows nothing about millwall. He just spoke about the players and passed off questions about Standard Liege.

    I think you're getting a bit oversensitive. Only seen one negative comment so far.

    Cue Seth....

    How can you even be thinking about this? Chris's seat is still warm. You insensitive heartless beasts.

    Liked the starting line up, subs were ok and he seemed engaged in the game

    Early subs but each one made us worse than before! Subs aren't the magic answer when your squad is shit.

    Not sure about your assessment of his press conference which I also listened to.
    He was aware of the importance of the fixture and was interrupted by (i think it was Damian Mathews) who said he would brief Riga in the next few days about the game. Riga added that he could do nothing about Millwall but would prepare Charlton. Some of the press questions were quite interesting, he struggled when asked if he was here to feed S.L with footballers to which he seemed surprised by the question and dismissed it.
    He has yet to sign a contract and claims he was only approached a couple of days ago for the job.
    Overall I felt he handled some difficult questions reasonably well.

    I don't know much about this chap and I am not going to slag him off.

    However, it seems to me like he could well be a stop-gap coach put in place until the end of the season and that RD will appoint a new manager then.

    RD needed someone at short notice and JR fits the bill - for now at least.

    My youngest son thought he looked like the new Dr Who.

    If he keeps us up he can have it next season as well.

    Made an effort to come out while the players were warming up and signed some autographs. Looked the part and appeared animated when he was trying to get his instructions across and shook hands/put his arms around players as they came off. Looked 'into the game' and was communicating well. Didn't look daunted by the occasion. On the whole a positive start.

    Reminds me of Arsene Wenger looking down at him from the North. Happy with the way he conducted himself on the touchline, no complaints so far.

    Made a positive impression on me tonight. Hope he'll be just as impressive in the heat of a South London derby on Saturday.

    He wore a suit, gesticulated a bit, conferred with the other bloke dressed the same and was about the same type of meh as the game.
    He managed the reds to a home draw so the relegation fight gets harder after this home draw.
    If the result isn't down to him he wouldn't have taken the credit if we had won? Don't think so judging by his willingness to meet the press post match.

    Hope when we go down we get a League 1 specialist at the helm. Someone with a bit of experience, yet young enough to be a rising star.

    I thought the press acted like prying pricks in the press conference, seemed they were trying to catch him out more then getting answers

    Any man who puts his heart and soul into a special cogi training method, touts it round europes clubs and ends up in the seemingly perfectly suited job of Academy Director at one of Europes most prestigious clubs.... but then leaves at the drop of a hat to work for a man who previously sacked him worries me deeply. Can you imagine SCP being tha kind of guy?

    A Belgian friend of mine who loves his home football said to expect more of the same from the Roland regime, he said he won't be hiring anyone who expects to fully control their team or influence transfers anytime soon.

    I'm not saying bring back Chrissy, but at least actually look for the right guy for the job!

    I mean finding someone who knows our league might be a good idea if your trying to survive in potentially the toughest (most gruelling) league in this country.
