in General Charlton
Just don't think he oozes enough confidence, even when he's doing a press conference its as though its a script written by you know who. We need it from the heart....we need the Powell effect. If they loose on Saturday there will probably be a pitch invasion.

    I don't care about what he says or does well or poorly in press conferences, or his body language on the touchline, I care about how he sets teams up and coaches them. Thus far, thoroughly underwhelmed and legitimately worried.

    Do me a favour!

    We don't have a midfield. We don't have a squad worthy of the conference. He's being lied to day in, day out. Give the guy some slack.

    Sir Bobby Robson, assisted by Fergie and Sir Alf Ramsey couldn't get us scoring at the moment.

    We need a competitive squad - until and unless that is the case it's irrelevant who the manager is and directing blame at him is counter-productive. In fact, doing do actually plays into Roland and Katrien's hands - nothing they would like more than to see us blaming their shortcomings on our British manager.

    Could out Guardiola in charge with Mourinho as assistant boss - it doesn't matter, you can't win matches with inadequate players.

    To be honest, I don't think he's very good.

    Russell started losing his rag with Louis at the end of that interview... We are all pessimistic - because it's been so long since Charlton fans had something to be genuinely optimistic about. We just lost to Cheltenham, for goodness sake, what does he expect?

    He is already on thin fucking ice as far as I am concerned and needs to start a charm offensive to convince me he is not just another ego.

    It's odd. Refuses to acknowledge how crap we've been, but then criticises Ajose and has a go at Louis. Hardly seems like a great mentality to be working with two games in. If he's feeling the pressure already he's going to shit himself when the real Charlton nonsense starts happening

    My old history teacher always told us to attack the question unless it was a good question.
    I don't think he could have taught Mr. Slade....

    Me neither, but let's not lose sight of the bigger picture. Time to crank up the pressure on the owner and CEO, because until they're gone we're screwed whoever's in charge of the team.

    Lukewarm over him to begin with - an improvement over every post Powell stooge yes - but he is rapidly becoming one of them.

    Not impressed.

    Thank Christ others are now seeing it! I've said all along he's no good and took the job on for all the wrong reasons and I've been mauled over my comments!

    It's another of the regime's achievements to get us talking like this about the new manager after two games. In a post-Fraeye world it seems acceptable. If anyone else owned us, I'd be making a case for looking at the bigger picture. But that's such a scary picture right now, and Slade need to be straight, and level-headed. I think right now he's trying to protect his team, but they need to start helping him out.

    Think he's deluded. Don't have much sympathy for him as he knew what he was getting into and if he didn't he could easily have found out with a couple of well placed phone calls, like Wilder did.
