It lies with the people above the management team. You are never going to be able to compete at any level if you aren’t given the finance to do it. You can change managers and players as much as you like. We just get shit owners after shit owners. All we do is sign freebies and the odd £200k player. We get excited by signing a bloke from Cheltenham. That’s how low we have sunk.Rob said:The young players can’t be blamed here. The blame lies with the management who have put them in there. Incredibly naive.6 -
No way Holden can be blamed for all of this, and I don’t think I’ve ever called for a manager to go before. However, it may be time to bring in an experienced league 1 manager. Could also look at league 2 teams doing well like Wimbledon.1

Don't have to say anything at all does heBR7_addick said:
But those interviews are just pre planned clichés, that’s all they’ve ever been. What do you expect him to say, it’s been an average week of training?sam3110 said:
Nope, not when you make a song and dance about having an entire week to prepare and working on defensive situations, and then after 40 mins you've had to sub off a defender and change the systemBR7_addick said:Are we actually calling out shape and Holden tactics? Do you think it might be underfunding, bad use of what little funding we’ve had and a shit load of injuries? I do, we could have Pep we’d still be shite.0 -

Unfortunately one of Holden's go to interview lines every week is "we've had a good week in training, the players look good".1 -
Back under way. Addicks shooting towards the Hollywood Bar & Diner end this half. 46'0

I see Holden as another symptom of the underfunding and bad decision making though.BR7_addick said:Are we actually calling out shape and Holden tactics?

We recruit managers as cheaply and thoughlessly as we do players.

Kanu and Ness off at half time
Campbell and Hector on1 -
They are to blame for this, Sandgaard was the owner but the new ownership had to be pulling the strings.Isawsummersplay said:When you think things can’t get worse, they usually do with Charlton. Holden seems clueless. Will Methven, Scott etc have the guts to change manager this early, given he was their choice from the get-go?0 -
Oxford Commentary not happy with a challenge from Jones just inside our half0

Hector and T Campbell on for Ness and Kanu. We're now 4-2-3-1 I believe. Our third formation of the game.0

Few challenges from us show a bit of a response2

Charlton the most lively they’ve been since the opening three minutes of the first half2

I'm doing the same and I live in England!TEL said:40 mins in, however I'm off to bed. Not ruining a nights sleep on this shower of shit.6 -
Looks like 4-3-3 with the height of the two wingers either side of May at the moment.SDAddick said:Hector and T Campbell on for Ness and Kanu. We're now 4-2-3-1 I believe. Our third formation of the game.1 -
Without wishing to sound overly dramatic but the next five days might shine a light onto the next five years of our club. There’s obviously no real money and thus far the new ownership and SMT including Dean Holden have delivered absolutely nothing.8

Don't like kids being treated in this manner. Hauled off at half time. It's unprofessional and out of order.4

First few minutes of the second half we are better..rather like the first half...🙄0

Are Methven & Lenegan there at the match, enjoying their team's performance?
That's #OUFC, of course, not #CAFC...1 -

Offside, Oxford United. Elliott Moore tries a through ball, but Billy Bodin is caught offside.

Surely if you've lost 3 on the trot with too many kids in the team you put out your most experienced 11 and try and grind out a draw or better.6

You’d imagine it’ll make recruitment even harder this week if we get a battering today0

Rotation there as Chem ended up right wing and Tyreece through the middle for a couple of minsCallumcafc said:
