    I wrote in early December (for what it's worth) that Bowyer should be given until mid February to improve results .. the January window has seen some potentially exciting new arrivals, BUT no sign of a much needed central defender .. the hope was expressed by Bowyer that the injured will soon be back to shore up the crumbling defences .. they'd better be back fit and firing a s a p.

    Do we know if Bowyer has the last word on signings, or is it Gallen ?, Sandy ? .. I M O unless we get 6 points from the next two games, Bowyer should go with our thanks .. there is no excuse for consistent poor tactical planning over and over again, and, I suspect increasingly poor man management of his players ..
    To get promotion, any chance of it, we need a manager who can put out a well drilled side that knows what it has to do and does it consistently, perhaps  a manager like the Cowleys, or Paul Cook and I am sure that there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here who can name a few more experienced managers capable of getting the best from what is now a decent squad for this division. 
    I have a very soft spot for Bowyer, but alas, as time goes on he is looking and sounding increasingly out of his depth. I M O he has two games to get right back on track

    EDIT.. the 5 games scheduled for February are all winnable .. so come on Bowyer stop fucking about, play a 4 4 2 with the same personnel as far as possible, save your job and save the heartaches far too many Addicks fans are suffering .. in lockdown, we do not need it !! .. in fact we don't need it at any time

    The ref was shit but blaming him for the first two goals screams desperation 
     It's nonsense and I said as much on the match thread.
     It's league one. The refs are consistently shit

    Well that was dreadful!!

    Bowyer got rid of his 2 main scapegoats yesterday, so who's fault is it now??

    I've plenty more to say, but I love this forum so don't want to get banned. 

    Night all
    Say it mate you only get banned on the political threads...lol how's my home town....

    Bowyer literally just said "I don't fink they're betterer than us"


    Don't be a snob.  He's come out of canning town and doesn't pretend to be anything he's not.



    I normally wouldn't, but 'betterer'? C'mon ffs lol
    I agree with the football side at times with you but let’s leave the pronunciation etc. It’s shitty. 
    Fine fine. I consciously try to avoid being snobbish as I'm a total posho but I'm so pissed off I couldn't help myself. Consider it never to be repeated

    So much reference to wonder goals too. Did we expect professionals in L1 to just hoof chances into row Z.

    Keep Bowyer and we're essentially writing off best season as well imo. He's unable to learn, the post match comments prove it.
  • I understand the thinking off playing Maatson with Portsmouth pace up top but he has been off the pace for a while and was awful defending tonight.

    Bowyers selection was dog shit. He owes the supporters an explanation.
    @Ollywozere ask the gaffer that if you've got a pair of bollocks.

    On the Night we hit the woodwork and we should of had a penalty, But Portsmouth were the best team and deserved to win.
    and like I have said for the last 8 Games, until we get AKEN & INNIS back and stop making Stupid defensive errors this inconsistent shit storm will continue.
    forget Top two, if we make the playoffs that is all we will do as we have dropped too many points due to stupid defensive fuck -ups 👎👎

    Absolutely sick of us playing and setting up to try and win in the second half! This rubs off on the players and it shows. PLAY YOUR BEST SIDE FROM THE START!  All the chopping and changing is causing a lot of this. 

    We need a settled side and they will get used to who they're playing alongside. But what do I know starting to really piss me off Bowyer.

    JUST.GO.BACK.TO.BASICS!!!
    4-4-2 with wide players.. Everyone can see the narrow diamond doesn't work but Bowyer persists with it in the first half only to change it because we were behind as usual! Can't keep conceding 2's and 3's a game and expect results.

    The two positives are Millar looks dangerous every time he runs with the ball and Stockley is a proper target man who wins everything. Other than that we look terrible and mid table mediocrity is what we are heading for. 

    We have no excuses with this squad either. Things are not working and haven't been working for a long time now.
    spot on

    Go and have a long hard think about what you've done and we expect a public apology on all forms of social media by the weekend :-)

    Yes, but Maatson wasn't to blame for tonight. Immediately before the goal Gunter gave the ball away sloppily (not the first time). Second goal we should have cleared that (Gunter again), but he isn't a centre half! Third was ridiculous. 

    We are a team totally lacking in confidence trying to play football that our lack of confidence prevents us doing. We need to go a bit more back to basics, get confidence back and play more football as that builds. 

    I was saying all along we needed a centre half. That is where we are gifting goals and chances.

    One question for all the Bowyer apologists -

    When is enough enough  ?  We have now won 4 games in our last 17. 

    Is it when we win 5 in 20....?

    Or when we win 6 in 23 ?

    Week in & week out I read that its a blip, we won 6 on the trot, wait for the "big 2" to come back.....blah blah blah. 

    Will you now accept that he has taken us as far as he can.

    Barring the obvious relief and joy of Thomas saving us, from a footballing perspective I’ve felt massively deflated for a year now. We’ve not looked convincingly good for a while.
