My most depressing week of following Charlton
Does anyone agree with me?
Incidentally I am too young to remember the move from the Valley.

It's the most depressing week I can remember since the last most depressing week. They come along quite regularly. It doesn't quite feel so desperate as the various close shaves with impending administration and Pardew and Parky and the two stooges etc, but at least they all made me angry and passionate and scared. I just feel meh at the moment. Im sure anger will happen quite soon though!3

This afternoon proves one thing, the players are not impressed with Luzon being appointed. There will be no new manager initial upturn that usually happens. This has been the most abject Charlton performance I've seen in a long time. Embarrassing. Left early to to get home and kick the cat.1

Perspective, perspective.4

No excuse for the players to under perform. Disgraceful today!Gammysnr said:This afternoon proves one thing, the players are not impressed with Luzon being appointed.

The thing is we have been in worse situations in some respects but this fella sees us as just part of his network so it worries me for our club's future.1

We look well and truly f***ed! Can things get any worse?0

being within hours of the club not existing may have been far more depressing.7

I think there are plenty of excuses unfortunately. The appointment of Luzon had clearly not impressed the players. A little bit like unwrapping a Christmas present that reveals a Crystal Palace annual only for your mum to take it back to the shop and swap it for a Millwall one.
And the one person many of the players will look to that could lead them out of this is Johnnie Jackson. Unfortunately he has probably lost the loyalty and commitment that he once had.7 -
Tell me, has someone died? As Henry has said, keep it all in perspective. It's only a game ...2

Plus commuting to Selhurst Park.0

Well that about caps a wretched week. If, as many seem to be saying, the players couldn't give a toss, is the manger losing the dressing room after five days a world record?1

Can't see where our next point is coming from here. Was speaking to a Norwich fan the other day and they didn't believe me when I told them easy 3 points. We can't even manage a draw anymore

Our tragic performance at Sheffield United, followed by the sacking of Powell was pretty depressing.5

The next Millwall game starts to look like a relegation decider for both of us!0

F***ing disgrace - gutless and inept.0

"Losing" the dressing room implies he had it in the first place, which is highly questionablemogodon said:Well that about caps a wretched week. If, as many seem to be saying, the players couldn't give a toss, is the manger losing the dressing room after five days a world record?

The summariser on the radio berated the centre-backs and advised that any money should be spent strengthening there. It makes a total mockery of off-loading Michael Morrison. Some on here have been praising TBH for weeks. Not me. We've conceded various self-inflicted goals all season. I've said it before, but the decision to sell Yann was, and remains, an utter disgrace. The whole feel of CAFC has been changed since Mr I-Know-Best turned up, and it's all very well saying, as some have, that the club endures, but if the thing you cherish has become something else / other / alien, it isn't the apple of your eye any more, is it? As I see it, my club has been hugely damaged and it is no longer deserving of my support.

Lived through far worse - nearly going out of existence, leaving the Valley, Ken Craggs, Alan Mullery, Pardew...
But doesn't make this feel any better.6 -
Yes, probably is for me. No massive drama, family and other stuff take more precedence in mine (and I presume everyone's) life, but it's still a major part of my life, and fills an obscene amount of my thoughts, dreams, time, enjoyment disappointment and sadness.flyingkiwiDK said:In all the years I have been supporting Charlton I have experienced many lows (and the occasional high) but this surely had to be the most depressing week for the club I can remember.

One of those has been missing for too long now though.

not even in the top 5 worst weeks re CAFC1

Addendum: I don't wish to single an individual out. I should add that I think the centre-backs (and others) have needed a rest so that they can recharge. Morrison's departure left us thin beyond thin. Some of the players have been ground down by playing week after week after week. The squad is too small and, as many have noted, too much has been expected of some youngsters. There has been no Plan B or Plan C and for that, Mr I-Know-Best carries the can. I look forward to his departure.1

What the hell was RD thinking when he sold Morrison to Birmingham?2

It's like having the runs all week and just when you think things may of cleared up, it catches you out of no where...0

Especially as by all accounts Ujpest badly need a new centre back. Madness.flyingkiwiDK said:What the hell was RD thinking when he sold Morrison to Birmingham?
