Scunthorpe at home in the cup? Best performance and football of the season? @JamesSeed who was manager?
I was at that game, and yes, it all clicked, we looked spirited, and ever the optimist I thought it might be a turning point. Unfortunately it wasn't really. But I wouldn't have sacked Slade, as I know you wouldn't. However, my hopes that he'd gradually play a more attacking game were dwindling by the time of his exit.
But I know we agree that it doesn't really matter who you appoint under Duchatelet, they'll all fail under this setup. For I time I thought it might, but looks like I was wrong.
Well, that new-manager bounce everybody talks about certainly worked for us. I wonder how many supporters would back Robinson over Slade at the moment?

We did have a new manager bounce then KR took over from Nugent who's 7 points from 3 games are keeping us above Bury. I for one would have kept Slade even if the results were the same, we wouldn't have to listen to KR arse licking bullshit.
However, the squad should still be good enough to challenge for the play offs. Yet at the moment they haven't got a clue what they are supposed to be doing and that has to be down to KR.

Absolutely.
But Robinson's football is so so exciting and attacking or so people keep telling me. Yet to see much of it myself to be honest.
Give KR this season and next season then reassess. No managerial changes.
How long do you need to look at failure and listen to complete bull? Sack him now. Sack him later. Who cares ? He's worse than Karel and more loyal as a puppet. Let's have Congo Chris and cut out the middle man.
Why does this guy deserve any longer than any other third rate manager employed in the Roly nightmare?
When I see that kind of lazy antagonistic unconstructive nonsense it angers me, that's all
Lazy: What ever it is, it isn't lazy. Grumpy went to the trouble of posting that, the lazy option would have been to do nothing.
Antagonistic: It's only antagonistic if you want it to be. I certainly don't feel antagonised by it.
Unconstructive: If you follow the logic, it's very constructive. It clearly highlights that the problems we face are with the ownership of the club. At this moment in time unconstructive is focusing on who the manager is, whether they should be sacked and how long they should be given. Under normal circumstances these would be perfectly reasonable areas for debate, but all the time this particular haddock is rotting from the head down, managerial questions are largely inconsequential because no manager will succeed under the current regime.
Nonsense: Just because you disagree with something does't make it nonsense.
Not lazy because he posted something to the internet? This is a webforum. We're all lazy! And yeah, it's especially lazy in its thinking. The notion that everything is constantly getting worse, that you'll never have to engage with anything in a remotely positive way. That's lazy.
Antagonistic in any personal sense depends on whether you have time for KR. But it's indisputably antagonistic towards him.
Unconstructive - pshaw to your logic. A constructive response would be to highlight ways in which we as fans might act to salvage the situation. Merely saying 'it doesn't matter who's in charge' is nihilistic, not constructive. It clearly does matter, anyway - wouldn't you prefer to already be in a higher league when RD sells up? Wouldn't you rather have scraps of success to feed from in the meantime, meagre as they are? It's demonstrably a more fulfilling life as a Charlton supporter when the team seems capable of doing anything positive. Even if you literally only care about getting rid of the owners, it's still not constructive, because it doesn't have any relevant suggestions. It's a grump in the night, a drive-by Fox hunt.
As for nonsense, 'He's worse than Karel and more loyal as a puppet'. Nonsense. N. O. N. S. E. N. S. E. Absolute buggering poppycock.
Karel and Karl are both one legged men at an arse kicking contest
It's about the culture / environment. The cloob is not a football club it's a Tesco Express. A weigh station where you put yourself on show for a better destination. I am sure the players are aware. Some will play the same regardless but the majority will place individual performance above team results.
As players leave and new ones come in on a conveyor belt akin to the Generation Game with Robinson as the new Forsyth team spirit dissipates as they hardly know each other. They don't care about promotion because one way or another they will not be at de cloob for the long term.
Robinson / Slade et al are most likely crap managers but I wouldn't judge them by their turn at Charlton.

Could tell us whether Robinson needs to be afraid for his job is he loses the next game.
Full stop.

Slade - P15 W4 D8 L3 For 18 Against 14 Points 20
Slade only has one game left, a defeat at Swindon, but his record after 16 games is already better than Robinson's is going to be....
P13 W2 D4 L7 GF10 GA27 PTS10
Only marginally better than Karel.
They sacked Russel Slade, appointed a fat scouse twat.
Slade - P18 W3 D9 L5 For 17 Against 20
And for those who prefer just to look at league games:
Robinson - P16 W3 D6 L7 For 18 Against 22 Points 15

Oh dear, Karl.
