9000 didnt think so in January when they trekked up to Manchester on a wet Tuesday evening.
Yet another stupid comment. Maybe consider the context? Or not. Just keep trolling.
So what please is this context I’m meant to be considering? And I made the same point about the Man Utd game a few pages back. Am I stupid as well then?
The next two weeks we were able to bring in both Bielik and Cullen which helped us to completely change the trajectory of our season.
A big three weeks coming up for the club which will define our season.
Do the new owners truly want to push for promotion this year or are they content with a chance of a playoff place where we’d probably get dumped out in a semi final anyway?
Torturus second half performance followed by a tortuous drive home, football is definitely back.
Though I thought we controlled large portions of the first half, we lacked pace, directness and failed to move the ball quickly enough around a spirited, determined Newport County, the warning signs were certainly there at half-time.
The lack of squad depth and attacking options showed themselves oncemore and further untimely injuries on the night to Egbo, Chinny and Campbell make matters worse.
The second half was well, just shocking really, we looked like we had never played with each other.
When Charlie Kirk eventually decided not to receive the ball, cut inside then pass back, instead trying to take a man on, (and he was by no means alone in putting in an insipid performance), his cross sailed beyond the back post harmlessly.
He briefly, and somewhat sheepishly, looked up to the away fans, his glance reminding me off an old Great War veteran I knew who, when talking about badly injured horses slipping away would simply say 'they know you know....'
Even when Big Hec sauntered up front to assist a sprited energetic Alfie May, the resulting half chances failed to cover up the fact that we had been out hurried, out muscled and eventually outplayed by a side who wanted it far far more.
A lot for Mr Holden and the directors, (who politely continued the recent trend of mingling with supporters in the pub beforehand), to take on board and process in the short few days before our visit to Peterborough on Saturday.
The highlights? A new ground visited and seeing old faces including @Mametz, lowlights the 2nd 45 plus diversions and road closures coming home, but that's football, there have been countless nights like that before and will be again.
See you in the Barge place Saturday, I am off to France to try and forget...
Just watched the highlights(didnt take long)My fears about Hector as a defender were confirmed. 1)Goal 1 yes Mcgrandles should have done better,but Hector should have put that out and not give it to a player under pressure near our goal line. 2)goal 2 The header by Ness was poor(Innis would have put that near the half way line)but Hector was nowhere near his man when the ball came in. 3)Another pass by Hector to a man under pressure near his own penalty area,ball lost comes back,tap in. Yes I know we were lacking up front,but this poncing about is going to cost us dearly.If we dont liven up on saturday,I can see our goal difference taking a hammering.

Can't blame a player for another players poor first touch.. Both times, they had time, if the first touch was good enough. Hector is a defender, that is going to look to play out.
Maybe should have been tighter for the 3rd goal, but also think the keeper should have done better, went straight under him.
Taylor talking about scoring a hattrick against Mansfield seen by only 1200 fans. Moaning that early rounds aren't really thought of much.
Saying of course managers will prioritise the league. Promotion to Championship is worth £7.5m and to Premier League £200m.
Son says he answers why he didnt play once games restarted after Lockdown.
Easy to answer......
" I'm a big c**t & didnt want to honour my contract with my employer as I feared getting injured......although I got injured 6 months previously playing for my country & my employer stood by me then...."
Love to ask him how his big money move planned out. "Tell me Lyle, just how many mins of Premier League action did you actually get to play ??"
Having watched the preseason games that he was involved in and now the highlights from last night, I'm a bit concerned about Isted and his technique. Early days I know but he just doesn't seem to stop many shots. Even the saves he has made have looked a bit clumsy and lucky. I hope we haven't been sold a bit of a dud on the back of one outstanding play- off performance.

How many weeks of your life have you cleared 20k?
Not the point.
He broke his contract.
Club should have sued him.
I hate Taylor as much as the next guy but calm down, Golfie.
You know full well he didn’t break his contract.
But he did?
He didn't.
He refused to play from June 20th (announced on June 1st), and was contracted to play until June 30th?
He didn't technically refuse to play. He told Bowyer he wouldn't give 100%, or words to that effect, so Bowyer couldn't pick him.
Morally he broke his contract but not technically.
From our point of view even 10% of LT effort was better than what we had to put on the pitch

3 games.
1 goal in those 3 games would have kept us up.
But fuck him.
AneKe's equalising goal against Reading at home would have kept us up-it was incorrectly given offside. So we can't pin it all on Lyle Taylor.
The new dawn for Charlton Athletic, hasn’t even made it to breakfast, before stalling with the same old issues. No fit forwards, players injured whilst walking about the training ground, and general shit depth of squad.

Or not. Just keep trolling.
We lost 3-0 to a League 2 side and this was the line-up:
Phillips
Dijksteel Blumberg Cummings
Marshall Maloney Dempsey Morgan Mascoll
Ajose Hackett-Fairchild

I'm sure some of you need beauty sleep.
I don't of course.
Put your fucking foot through it.
So far ...

Got to question Hector on those second and third goals as well.
That will be an issues for probably 30 games this year.
We'd better find ways and quickly!
Went 4-5-1 after Chin went off and had our best spell of the game between then and halftime
1)Goal 1 yes Mcgrandles should have done better,but Hector should have put that out and not give it to a player under pressure near our goal line.
2)goal 2 The header by Ness was poor(Innis would have put that near the half way line)but Hector was nowhere near his man when the ball came in.
3)Another pass by Hector to a man under pressure near his own penalty area,ball lost comes back,tap in.
