Took the Grandson to his first away game and we watched a complete and utter shambles, particularly once the first had gone in.
If the passion shown by the players had matched the teams supporters the result would have been reversed.
Very difficult to get any enthusiasm for the up coming games and not sure my Grandson can take anymore.
For me the day was summed up when we left, another young lad was crying his eyes out at the (lack of) performance while his slightly older brother comforted him.
So Km if you did shed a few tears on the train (and I truely hope you weren't bullied) sadly you weren't the only one today.
By the way anybody who thinks the keeper had a good game look at the highlights tonight, he was useless. Mind you most of them were.
You can't tell me 5-0 was a true reflection of the game ?
it should of been 10 we cleared 3 of the line plus the ball that ran along our line. plus 2 good saves from our keeper.
Was Guy Luzon at the match ?
If Luzon had been in the dugout, the CAFC crowd could least of had a laugh with,
Your getting sacked in the morning, or we only sing when we're Luzon.
Thanks to the fans who like myself stayed to the bitter end and for most of the fans sense of humour. Please don't sing your Charlton till you die, and then walk out at 4-0.
I wouldn't say it was a one sided game but if it had been a boxing match it would of been stopped, as we were being battered !
I have consistently heard Roland was not the only game in town, but he sealed the deal, and that is that. I have heard in a more fractured way that if anybody with an offer would like to approach Roland for talks, they have a bit of a challenge engaging with Roland's gatekeepers or advisors. The choice now ebbs and flows, but my understanding is that it wasn't a matter of Roland or administration, and administration is not the only alternative even now. No point in pressing me on this because I imagine I am quite a way along the chain of whispers and that is all I know, I don't know who the other interested parties or party may be.
Went today and very disappointed with the result and especially by the ineptitude (yet again) of Ben haim and Bikey. Just watched the goals on SSN and I don't know how they qualify as CHs!! They are clueless or couldn't careless. How people can blame Etheridge when he has those two clowns infront of him I don't know! How fans can cheer Bikey when he makes so many mistakes... Morrison never stood a chance if the rumours about these two bossing things is true. Clearly there is a total lack of team spirit and unity which was obvious last week more than ever. I really hope JJ (or Solly) can try to restore it because I think the younger players really suffer even more when he is not playing. I think, if we are lucky enough to get any players in, who will be able to tell whether they will fit in the team or not?
was there and the impression I get is that we are a shambles from top to bottom.
there were level 1 basics not being followed out there today which made me look on with bemusement and sadness. 2nd balls not being fought for, central defenders not competing for headers, an inability to show for the ball etc.
am not one for getting hysterical after a loss but we are bang in trouble and if anyone thinks different then more fool them.
was talking to some Watford fans afterwards and they couldnt believe how easy we capitulated and how they expected a much tougher game.
It was pathetic and the players should have a look at the support today and have a look at themselves.
the only positive I took is that I'm glad I'm not a Watford supporter.
Embarrassing performance from the players matched by the yoof singing Roland out! Who the fuck do they imagine is going to step up and buy our club?
Saved us from administration, steadying the ship, trying to manage a £6/7 million loss per year, get real!
I'm sure he will back Luzon in the coming weeks and that will be coming from his own pocket!
Well, people who know tell me that there would be, if he'd sell.
If that's the case why didn't they buy the club when he bought it?
It was clearly for sale then.
Maybe because the previous incumbents would not allow said interested parties buy...
What I thought I'd read as well.
Nothing to say on that, but people continually repeat on here that no one else wouid buy the club if RD pulled out, so I asked someone who would know better than any of us and that's what I was told. No more, no less.
Wasn't at the game,followed the match thread, but it sounds like the players were as uninterested as last week. Is it possible that after Guy took training for a couple of days they all thought that he is no different from Bob?
I really hope I never see that Lilly-livered, uninterested, pathetic excuse for a PROFESSIONAL footballer, Buyens, in a CAFC shirt again. He should be utterly ashamed of himself. The least I expect from our players is effort, I have seen some rubbish play for us over the years but his attitude reminds me of Amady Faye.
Fair start and should have been a goal up from JBG. Igor looked back to showing some of his form early in the season, but bar that it was one sided. Could have been 7 or 8 by the end. A long sorry week that needs to be sorted by the owner and CEO
A Cardiff mate of mine was really hoping that they get relegated so that Tan would lose interest and sell up.... when he told me this I thought he was bonkers..... I am beginning to think that he may something there!!!
I'm wondering what its going to take to happen for Roland to 'get' Charlton, and not treat us like a Rubik's cube , it's not working Roly, surely you can see that?

Probably not his season, but you will see a relegation with Duchatelet under us.
Things have got so bad and the prospects are so gloomy that I've passed beyond rational reactions and am experiencing a kind of euphoria. Anyone else getting this?
First time in a while I have come away thinking that all of "our" players have been poor. Cousins, Solly and Wilson (not everyones favourite but usually you know what you will get).
That today looked like a bunch of people who want to work elsewhere. My firm are going through changes and there are a lot of people who want redundancy for the money and so they don't have to work with each other anymore. That is exactly what it has looked like on the pitch the last few weeks. Dysfunctional.
If we stay up it will be because RD spends to protect his investment or because there are three appallingly bad teams

Have seen Charlton play in Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Holland and Spain.
Have seen Charlton play at approximately 130 different grounds.
Worldwide I have watched football at approximately 450 different grounds.
Tomorrow I am waiting for people in favour of Duchateletet.

Sell up Duchatelet, you are poison.
