Relieved that it's finally done after the last fortnight's soap opera. Thomas certainly doesn't make things easy, does he.
According to the Swindon Advertiser, "A deal for Swindon's assistant coaches, Scott Marshall and Scott Lindsey, to follow Garner to South London is still thought to be in the works." Assuming this is correct, let's hope it gets done quickly.
We now just need some players. Hopefully, we'll get a few new signings in before the squad departs for the training camp in Spain.
Just spoke to a mate who is a Swindon season ticket holder and he said he is sorry to see him go. Only doubt he said was he never seemed to have a plan B. Mmmm
Welcome just the same.
Least we at least have a plan A now.
I’ve shared this before. But whenever I hear people talk about Plan B (at least for a team who play possession based football) it always reminds me of this.
no side in the top 10 in L2 conceded more goals selective stats and all that penalty and free-kick conversion rate must have been good - can we sign whoever was responsible for them?
I've been waiting years & years for a manager to implement an attacking team - one that has more shots than the opposition & puts that above defending.
Only problem is.............has he seen the current squad ? A lot of rebuilding & coaching needed to get this lot shooting at every opportuinty.
At least I've found my home.........
I've seen enough teams with lower budgets than us playing a passing and attacking style of football, to suggest you don't need a Man City budget to change your style, and that players can adapt
Just read this news in the railway museum in York. About as Charlton as you can get. If Garner is anywhere near as good as this museum it will be a fantastic ride.

Garner would be aware of this, I doubt he’s trying to let goals in, maybe he’s learned from it, maybe his first signing will be a centre back, who knows, I don’t how you would not take comfort from the attacking stats though, they are very good.
Call me naive, but I’m really looking forward to next season now.
That’s dependent on a decent window of course.
Only downside is that we already have too many Bens.
You can never have too many Bens in managerial positions @JamesSeed
If only the board had listened to JS in 1956 they would have appointed Benny Fenton and history would have been very different.
I’d forgotten that. JS earlier made Benny captain because he wouldn’t stop wise cracking and winding people up. Thought it might shut him up, apparently. 😂

I'm actually really excited about this one. No-one can guarantee success but at the very least we appear to have brought in a manager who will try and introduce an attacking style after the turgid dreck we've had for the past few years. He's got very recent experience of coming into a club in need of a big squad rebuild and very quickly getting results. Was 3 points off automatics last season. Swindon fans can talk about a lack of plan B all they want but when you score more goals than anyone else in the division wondering why you don't just lump it up top for once is a pretty decent summary of how ridiculous football fans are. The recruitment will be important now but that's our next challenge. Fingers crossed even if we don't have total success we can still enjoy some of the football next season
Sounds to me like this season Charlton are going to playing on the front foot whenever possible with good possession and lots of shots. What’s not to like with that. Yes we’ll lose games but it’s going to be exciting to watch. I got sick and tired of walking out of The Valley feeling despondent with shitty football. Let’s get behind the new manager and see where it takes us.

If Josh Davison scores his penalty they’re probably not talking about ‘plan B’ and they may get promoted and Garner isn’t our new manager. Funny world.

Pep Guardiola only has a Plan A. JJ used a Plan B against Morecambe after the shocking 3rd goal conceded but only one person mentioned that George Dobson was pushed forward to attack the oppositions box, hence why he nearly won a penalty and blasted that late shot wide.
Man Utd struggled in Europe for years until Fergie realized if you had 4 class strikers then they will get you out the shite even if two come off the bench late on.
Pep Talk Garner is his own man and he has 100% support from me just like JJ did until his last day.

That's disappointing. I demand turgid football with few shots and little possession....the Charlton way.
100% support for him and his squad.
Welcome Ben, this is a pretty decent appointment. If he's half as good as these we're in for a treat (cue 'knows his onions' and other pickle puns)
