BUT we didn't lose 3-0 and play rubbish with no spirit like so many recent matches.Charltonparklane said:
I do agree R but had we lost 3 nil Saturday everybody would have been as negative about Bowyer as they were before we found out he was taking charge and screaming for Euelli_b_b_o_r_g said:Not Powell and not Kewell.

Against Plymouth 8 of the starting 11 had possibly their best ever game and Bauer, Fosu and Amos played a massive part in the best home performance for years.
Anyone who wasn't at the valley on Saturday would believe fans are going OTT with 1 win,
but it was seeing the transformation of the mentality of the team with the shackles off which must be down to Lee and JJ
The twin strikers were the catalyst for me, can be any combination of 3-5-2, 4-4-2, 4-3-1-2
As long as it's TWO strikers up front.
Plus Lee knew that Plymouth would alter at half time so our strikers dropped deeper when Argyle had the ball and got forward when we were attacking.
A Seismic change in the players, fans, mood and the Weather from the Fleetwood match.
PS. I love Seaford. Great walks and fresh air, can park for free, and get to know the seven sisters if your feeling fit !11 -
I agree. Born, bred and lived in SE London until I was 22 then lived in Welling & Bexleyheath for a combination of another 30 years but I would not go back now if you gave me a free house to live in.LargeAddick said:

Same, it’s about getting our sovereignty back and controlling our borders.3blokes said:I feel I should contribute something significant at this juncture in the thread, by stating that I rather like Bexhill.

We'll be even more secretive and clandestine than east Kent addicks by not even disclosing meeting dates, times and venues to members and guests let alone minutes.7 -

I was in that camp a few months back, but since Christmas we've massively underachieved and in the end I couldn't wait to see the back of him. Any new owner will be fully aware of our recent issues and will want to appoint a manager that can not only fulfil the owners ambition and I hope will in some way appease the fans in the short term.Henry Irving said:

I prefer to wait until the takeover has actually happened before second guessing who they will pick as manager.0 -
really, just a mile from me, drive through every morning on way to station. Are you still going to be commuting into town or are you retiring?lolwray said:

Over the last few months some, including me, were wondering how he would do with a decent transfer budget, but as time went on, as his intransigence and inflexibility became more and more apparent, the idea of giving him more time became less and less appealing. Opinions changing because of evidence and poor results.Henry Irving said:

I prefer to wait until the takeover has actually happened before second guessing who they will pick as manager.
Now I'm more interested how Bowyer would do with a transfer budget. But of course we want more evidence, and we'll get it over the next nine matches, and beyond, hopefully.
Second guessing who the manager may or may not be is classic forum fodder isn't it imho? The politics are intriguing for one thing.
Of course it's possible the buyers aren't aussies, in which case it'll have been a waste of time, but that doesn't matter to many.0 - Sponsored links:

Bit rude to look down your nose on an area that a lot of choose to live our lives, a place that a good lot of us love... or perhaps some of us cant afford to move out to the back of beyond (yawn) and pay £5,000 per year on travel or want to spend all those hours commuting.LargeAddick said:

I love visiting the city and the outlying boroughs, but couldn't live there personally. (It's too expensive & too busy for me.)
