I feel like Brownie is anything but a Charlton supporter. Constantly says how disappointing our opponents are, never talks up our good stuff anymore (it's limited I know.)
Trouble is we are playing third division football , our opponents are not very good and we still can't beat them. I like Brownie . Don't shoot the messenger.
What? The photo clearly shows it did not (other photo evidence may show different). The whole of the ball has to over the line.
That photo does but it is not a freeze frame. The keeper has his hand on the ball so we really need to see a photo before the hand got there to be sure.
I thought everyone would understand I meant that by saying "other photo evidence may show different".
Well the prediction of playing only 2 in midfield we would be over ran didn’t happen looked more solid in 442 but didn’t look more threatening up top with 2 strikers which surprised me. 2 very poor teams. Garner looks like he has killed CBT confidence.
What was that crap he spouted about players get in team on credit not to do with wages.
Is he saying mcgrandels played better than Morgan or Foster Caskey against Colchester and is third chioice midfielder he needs a check up.It’s going to be a relegation battle this season just not good enough. I’d be tempted to sign Callum Harriett again.

What do you mean? He'd fit in perfectly with the rest of us!

He's not there to be a rose-tinted glasses cheerleader, we've got Terry to provide the "biased" opinions, and to be fair to Terry, some other club commentators are far more one sided

So, we are not beating all and sundry, who are apparently “not very good”, they are clearly better than us, it is us that are not very good.. Some serious sorting out is required starting at the top with Thomas because we are going one way, and it don’t involve any talk of promotion currently.
Big positive for me: Inniss. Playing 90 minutes most weeks and playing really, really well. A terrific defender and distribution improving. Make him skipper, seriously
previously I have been very critical of Innis, yesterday he was very good .. he needs to keep his cool and keep following the example of the excellent calming presence of O'Connell next to him .. both did well and look more secure in the Garner version of a 4 4 2
I said weeks ago that Garner was not up to this job.
Real problem is the useless owner and until that changes for the better, we will suffer.
To be honest, I’ve watched every match this season and I’m not sure if I could tell if Garner’s up to it or not. With this squad Alf bloody Ramsey would struggle.

I still think it’s too early for the axe to fall, but this squad is better than 18th. It’s not great, but it’s probably the 10th-12th best squad in the league so Garner is underperforming at the moment
Big fan of Garner as I've said many times, but lose on Tuesday & I think he's in trouble.
Personally I don't think he's the problem though
I agree. Unlike the idiots in love with their own importance we have had recently (JJ excluded) I suspect he is doing his best with a shit job. And it will do for him. I feel sorry for him.
Nothing has been forced on Garner, a patient passing from the back style is what he wants to play, it's not as if he secretly would rather play direct football or counter attack football.
Indeed my concern is that you'd expect us to be playing this style better by now, two months into the season, when we're actually going backwards.
Even worse than that he's ditched his favoured formation & gone 442. And from the highlights (very limited viewing I admit) all Woolacott's clearances were big punts downfield for out front 2 to fight for. Not what was being played up until recently.

No wonder he looks so blooming miserable.

Only west brom top us on the exciting stat with 8 draws

In reality they are in the relegation zone (sounds reasonably familiar)?

Garner knows his lot aren't good enough.

How have we "rebounded"? We are getting worse, not better.
Personally I don't think he's the problem though
