  • Key factors in the fragmentation of the club are an 18 with 3 CBs a LB and no midfielders. But our highly paid CB and a creative mf (Ba) can't get a look in. Nor any U23s. Why? Slade in not picking the best players available to him and is consequentally losing points.
  • Here's what a grovelling egg sounds like:

    Blithering idiot.
    What more exactly do you expect him to say?
    "I take full responsibility for that today, I got it wrong with my team selection"
    So many bloody options and he chose wrong. Surely Lennon in goal and Rudd in midfield was so bloody obvious.
  • I've only been to one game this season, and watching that performance didn't convince me that I was missing out, was that the worst performance of the season so far?

    Keep that up and will be in the relegation zone for Christmas, and nosediving into league 2.
  • Just got home to Norwich after taking bloody half hour to get out of the Outlet Centre car park and a further 20 minutes out of the Swindon traffic!! Shocking game but thanks go to those around me for the dark humour and a few laughs. It eased the pain (although the standard numbness tends to do that now anyway).
  • with 15 minutes of 2nd half left of this afternoons games we currently sit 15th, 4 points outside relegation zone, 5 points from play offs and 17 points behind Scunthorpe. The spanners are winning 3-0 and have moved up to 9th 1 point off the play offs, and they are our game in hand...oh dear!!

    Bristol, milllllll and Bradford are our next three away games. What chance have we got with them if we get heavily beaten against the likes of Swindon.

  • Well I am not prone to swearing but that was utter horse shit.

    Of course Brussel got the selection wrong but the shambles of a squad doesn't help.

    Embarrassing beyond belief.
  • This is how it will be. Enough wins ground out to keep us in the middle of the table, the occasional performance to give hope, but generally poor tactics and poor performances. In a season or two we will have grown accustomed to it and start getting excited if we break into the top six at any time. Well, those that are left will ...

  • And now please name the new manager.

    Johnny Jackson.



    Jason Euell would be good with Jacko as assistant
  • Only positive for me was Novak when he dropped into midfield rather than dealing with hopeful punts. He seemed to have a football brain and a bit of creativity. May be useful at top of a diamond.

    Yes a lovely ball for Solly who messed it up by pulling it back straight to a Swindon defender! !!
  • What a ridiculous day. Like an idiot booked our train tickets for a 3pm kick off (who puts charlton games on tv ffs) and got into the ground about half an hour into the game - just in time to see rudd watch the ball roll slowly past him to make it 1-0. Totally abject performance from us. No quality, no effort, no ideas. Could have sat there for six hours watching us punt aimless balls up to our hapless forwards and we still wouldn't have scored. Honestly don't even feel it when the goals go in these days. Ridiculous.
  • I don't actually remember Swindon kicking the ball long ! Always tried to play football but we still made them look like Barcelona!
  • I was one of the Charlton fans there today---Fanny,you have my sympathy as also do our fellow sufferers.
    Slade is useless,bloody useless.How can he not motivate eleven players to at least put in a shift.Can he not realise that slow-paced play wins no games(unless RD has told him to obey his strict instructions on how best to play).
    Sideways and backwards--we must be up there with the best of them.Going forwards,mmm--a big problem
    trying to get the ball within that white wooden boundary. Too many players couldn't have cared less---indicative
    of what they must feel about the cross-armed Slade who inspires no one.Just walk away Slade and give us the opportunity to appoint a young,hungry manager instead of a self-satisfied,inept,boring,tedious,apology for a manager.

    A young hungry manager will not want to go to SE7, unless he wants a squirrel with her hand up his bottom dictating what comes out of his trap.
  • I wonder how different this game could have been if we didn't concede that very unforuntate own goal.

    He had options today. Why not give Aribo a chance? Do you think that was a good starting line up then? Umerah could have started out wide. He could have gone 4-3-3. He could have gone with 3 CB's.

    But no, he chose 3 midfielder with no pace whatsoever.
    And he's started those same 3 together in midfield a number of times already this season.
    We know, the players know, even Slade knows ....... it doesn't work.

    What's your agenda, Slade?


  • Some good comedy moments in the stand second half. If I were manager I'd spend a good amount of time emphasising to the players that they wasted the time of the 500 fans there, but, as someone mentioned earlier, are they behind him????

    Doesn't appear so. Everything about that performance today suggested the players want him gone. When Solly gives up there's not much hope for the rest.
    Just watched the goals back on Channel 5: seeing Solly basically strolling back for their third goal is a really worrying sign and, although that was just one part of the poor overall performance it does suggest things aren't right. Although a better phrase may be even less right than we think.....

    Another thing that came out of today is that the PR company seemed to use today to portray the fans as the villains in all of this with Sky swallowing all the old rubbish they were fed. Not sure that's the wisest strategy really-even the few supporters that are still bothering to watch the team (me included) have their breaking point and for us to be portrayed as the bad guys by stupid sections of the media as well being subjected to performances like today is bringing that point closer and closer. Do they really want 3000 hardy souls at the Valley next season watching League Two football?
  • I wonder how different this game could have been if we didn't concede that very unforuntate own goal.

    We'd been very poor up till then so little reason to suggest anything different. In the "good old days" I would sometimes hope that conceding would give us the kick up the ass to respond. Those days are long gone....
  • My first game in two years after boycotting the club so I was part of the 504 Charlton fans there- I find it sad and baffling how detached I now feel from a club I once would have died for. I cannot think of a single positive to emerge from that performance

    We saw you on TV.
