Paulie, check out the graph on the match thread, the points between us and sixth place and the points between us and a relegation spot. Then, after due consideration, give me one of those blinkered, rose tinted, massive heart over head comments about everyone apart from you being wrong about the way the season is going.
Duchatelet isn't going to spend proper money FACT!
A couple of short deals or freebies maybe but i think he'll be thinking there is no prospect of promotion this season, so why spend more money on the squad. Let them bump along till the end of the season and take stock again in the summer.

Disappointing and there will be the usual inquest, but an utterly predictable result given what has preceded it for both teams. In the long run, it's not losing away at Ipswich that will define our season. It's taking 4 points out of the last 15 available at home against the likes of Wednesday, Millwall, Blackpool and Cardiff. We need 20 points from here - on current form that is no certainty.
Our chronic lack of goals will do us some serious damage this season. Games have been there for the taking. Don't think we are a million miles from the sides at the top but they have people that score and we don't
Pre season I was worried about where the goals were going to come from and my view is still the same 4 months into the season. With Igor looking unfit and off the boil he can barely trap a bag of cement at the moment we have no goals from anywhere else in the team and relying on wonder strikes like against Cardiff. We must have conceded the most goals from corners in the whole football league now, its becoming ridiculous. Need some quality asap before we really end up in a relegation fight. Feel for the fans that made the effort today.
Typical big Mick set play bombardment and the pressure from corners finally told. We had our chances the best fell to George who failed to convert first half and apparently Igor had a reasonable one second half but it's water under the bridge now and in the end it could have been 4 or 5 when the heads went down after the 3rd goal.
No need to panic but you know what is required Rolly, so if you want to have a stress free second half of the season, get some reinforcements in apart from Mr Watt ASAP.
Can people wait to see what actually happens in January before sticking the knife in.
This whole month it's felt that the squad were just waiting for reinforcements to come in, and i'm sure Bob is expecting some new faces in this window.
No bollocks from charlton. Bob has no bollocks either. Boring as. Another 100+ quid down the drain watching that shit. Give him some money to sign some players or fuck him off roland.
Very frustrating game. Gudmunsson and Ben Haim the only ones who imo put in a good shift and can come away with any credit. Felt sorry for Gomez who looked very nervous and I wish Bikey would stop the cross field balls. Think we will be fine and end up mid table. We weren't horrendous by any means tonight just couldn't take our chances when they came. Keep the faith. Coyr.
Very fickle Charlton fans on here , what's new ? Still 13th , would of taken mid table at the beginning of the season and we have been very unlucky last few games , who knows could be a blessing in disguise losing quite heavily just before the window opens. Chins up Addicks im very very confident we won't be near the bottom 3 at the end of the season !
'kin ell. To think I nearly set off a day early from Cornwall to see this. This is the championship. This is Charlton. Mostly uninspired, mostly workmanlike, very English in that 'proud to plod' way.
Oh well. Flying to India for 20 days tomorrow 9pm. If I turn up on a match thread in that time remind me: I am a sad geek.

Cos I need cheering up right now.
Cheers.
Now is where we see how serious RD is , come the transfer window.
Sounded like we had some chances but we were shown up for what we are which is a bottom 8 side.
Desperately need players in Jan but just wonder whether the powers that be might think we have enough to survive so keep the cash till the summer?
Think it is still a good idea to get a half way decent striker in january trades to see us down the home stretch.
RD might have to make a few sacrifices to make a good trade.
Feel sorry 4 anyone who went
I feel ur pain

Sounds like we played some good stuff but no goals and three conceded tells its own story. Nice play and stats mean nothing. Goals matter. End of.
We can hope for reinforcements in January but that is far from guaranteed to be enough.
Pre-season I predicted a 14th place finish. Depressing after the great start to think that could be correct. Or even a bit optimistic.
Yes, Ipswich are good but Blackpool and Millwall are not
But we knew when we signed up as Charlton fans that it is rarely a smooth journey.
Happy 2015 everyone.

We could have had at least 6 pts to the good going into today a couple of wins can turn things around.

Seen some great highs and bad lows this is no way near bad yet.
I'm more disappointed that Masicat was wrong.
Oh well. Flying to India for 20 days tomorrow 9pm. If I turn up on a match thread in that time remind me: I am a sad geek.
No positives from that match today.
Hello relegation battle. Can't afford to lose to Brighton next up.
