    Comes across much better in this type of interview than the usual post-match malarky.

    Just a lot of positive comments about CP, related back to last seasons D&R game away, when he was less than popular with fans and how he has turned it round and succeeded. expected us to do well next season.

    You'll be able to catch it on Iplayer in a short while

    Id say so. I think those 4 words say more than anything else ever could.

    What about "Two clubs, two aims?" That's doubled it already.

    Great piece BBC! At long last! Very prophetic piece from the disasterous start to now. Well worth a watch - especially since myself and my husband are in the crowd at D nR! Lol. We are the despairingly stunned couple- which we were then. How things change!
    Chris is so natural in this type of interview and the progress is immense since then. I can firmly believe that Chris inspires every person he speaks to as it feels as if he is directly speaking to you. A commendable piece and wonderful manner from the man we love!

    Great research on behalf of BBC to start it off with the Dagenham result last season, as that really was the ultimate low point for most fans. I've never ever seen abuse hurled at a Charlton team or manager like it was that day. The very first time in my life I wasn't proud to be a Charlton fan. I hope those idiots who were giving Powell the most horrendous abuse that day fully realise what idiots they now look.

    nah, even in a smart arse way it's not half as poetic :)

    Agreed, I was there, never seen such vitriol at a charlton match from charlton fans. We've had disappointing results but nothing has erupted like that day. To think some of those lauding CP on Saturday - only a few - racially abused him too, I wonder if they even remember it now.

    D&R was the low point, if the spectacle of our decline was something to behold then lets hope that the rise and rise of CP's Charlton is equally enthralling.

    Did I hear right? Mark Bright tipping Palace for the play-offs next season? Hope that re-bounds on him!

    so if we had clapped them off at D & R and said 'bad luck chaps, better luck next week, hoorah' then maybe we wouldn't be where we are today. CP said that game was a watershed. He realised the problems then just as we had before. The reaction that day was in my opinion justified.

    No, it wasn't. There's a difference between booing a team off and showing absolute hatred like a lot of the Charlton fans did that day. Chris Powell was given so much abuse, it was unbelievable.

    I was interviewed before the game by some football website, which they filmed and uploaded. They interviewed a few other Charlton fans as well. One of them was asked by the young lady "So what are your thoughts on Chris Powell as a manager?", and some idiot shouted "He's an absolute w@nker".

    It was Chris Powell's intelligence that saw the need for the turnaround, not the imbeciles in the away stand at Dagenham.

    I'm not condoning some of the over the top reactions that day but in general it was right that our displeasure was shown on this occasion.

    Fine, but that was not how your original posting came over. Of course, display displeasure but that does not require the abuse that was hurled in the manner it was hurled.
