My outrage allocation has now been completely exhausted. I have moved into a period of quiet apathy, where my acceptance is that this how it is. It is actually a calming thing. I wouldn’t say I don’t care, but it’s starting to feel like I’m not bothered.
I’m disappointed in Bowyer, but I am also now disappointed in Thomas. I really believe that this situation is now biting deeper into the entire club setup. If this is allowed to continue, then when Bowyer finally does go, it could take some time for the club to recover from the damage that is being done.
Just wondering where we’re at this morning having had a night to sleep on the Michael Appleton appointment?
I do find myself often following the furore, even when I’m not exactly sure what I’m mad about.
Truth is, I know next to nothing about MA, so what am I getting all worked up about?
A level of reality needs to check in for me, acknowledging the realities of where we’re at as a club, even if I don’t like it!
Having listened to Appletons and Scott’s interviews, I felt both came across well, bearing in mind the reality of what they’re really prepared to reveal.
I certainly feel more serene about the whole scenario now, that may change of course in the coming days weeks!
Taken to the den until I was 10 as Dad is a Bermondsey boy, then the valley as he had lived their for a couple of years and then I ended up living in an area surrounded by Palace and Chelsea fans who don't know what division Charlton are in now.
So I have ended up with no one likes me, a train spotter, a depressive clown and we are doomed, Captain Manwaring we are doomed.
Watched my club for 50 years and I love them to pieces but this season has just been a culmination of the last few dreadful years and it's getting harder to motivate yourself to go to the games.
We've lost our soul, passion and there's no pride anymore.
If the players don't try then why should we?
Who's to blame? The Manager? probably, but the players have to take some responsibility too.
I remember watching Peter Hunt in the 70's... Not a player with stunning ability but he'd run he's socks off, Garry Nelson and John Robinson too would do the same.
I could take losing if there was some effort but we've all been starved of that since Wembley.
Football used to be that great escape but at the moment it's more of a mental health kick in the head!
I had Charlie Revel as my sports master when i was at school. And he told me this:
In 90 mins of football the ball is out of play for about 10 mins, corners, goal kicks, throw ons etc. if you divide the remaining 80 mins with the 20 outfield players each player has control of the ball for 4mins. When you dont have the ball, you should be running to either defend or attack and not a bystander admiring the view. To him workrate was everything, and another pearl of wisdom from Charlie was: You may not be as skillful as your opposite number ,but you can match him for workrate and fitness.
So when i see slack and lazy players my blood boils.
Just want Appleton gone. Poor manager and dislikeable. My love for the club will never die but my passion has eroded this season. Over 54 years I have supported CAFC.
Couldn't give two hoots. I carry on with my life the minute the games finished or sometimes like yesterday before the game is even finished.
However, I'd strangely rather be in the very outraged, ruining my weekend camp as it means I still care. I miss the days of a win making my week and celebrating over the top and a defeat giving me the raging hump for days.
Been watching a couple a Premier League games over the weekend, and the difference is shocking. Not so much the skill levels, which you’d expect, but the work rate.
Every player is working his nuts off throughout the game, whether they’re attacking or defending, whether they’re in possession or not.
The work rate is far, far more intense than you see at The Valley. As a manager, or as a fan, that’s the least you should expect from your players.

Cracking post, although I'm not at the stage of not giving a f***.
I’m strangely calm about things. I’m desperately keen to see how the new arrivals settle in. The new regime seem to understand what’s needed, so some patience is in order, I believe. For now, January has brought some good signs at last. It’s not ideal, but things have been nowhere near ideal for a lot of years now.
Thoroughly p****** off. These three clowns have totally f***** things up in six months. We know it has been 12 months, I was sat feet next to Charlie boy in the directors box in January for the Portsmouth away game.
Think the Americans who invested will be saying fuck this and we will be in the shit.........they don't like failure and with these idiots running the club that is where we are at

Have a nice day 🥴

Anyway, still looking forward to Northampton!
