Afternoon folks, well is this the start of a new era or more of the same old same old!!. With no new manager announced as yet Kevin Nugent will take care of team proceedings for today's match. New coach Chris O'Loughlin, one of RD's network guys arrived during the week, did we really need a new coach? The cinic in me says no, I reckon he might well be promoted to 'Head Coach' or even 'interim manager' sometime before Christmas, oh how I really want to be wrong on that, as I see last season happening all over again.
No team news as yet, but we know we are missing Mcgennis and Holmes for certain. I cant see beyond a 1-1 draw, but I alwayd live in hope I'll be proved wrong. So in the meantime COYR's!!!
I'll bring you team news as soon as I can.
NB I think attendance will be circa 5500.

Kevin Nugent has admitted that Russell Slade’s sacking has come as a shock – but that Charlton’s players are used to managerial change.
Addicks owner Roland Duchatelet dismissed Slade on Monday, the seventh firing since he bought the club just under three years ago.
Assistant-boss Nugent, brought in by Slade from Luton Town, is in caretaker charge.
He told the club’s matchday programme: “It has been a difficult week for everyone involved at the club, but our focus over the last few days has very much been on today’s game and making sure we do everything we can to secure all three points.
“It was a shock for all of us to see Russell go on Monday evening, but footballers are very resilient characters, none more so than our group of players. We know they are fully equipped to move forward and concentrate on the task at hand in a professional way.”0 -

Here are some responses from twitter on the article from BBC London Sport-:
Managed to lie in the first sentence.
'The 7th most productive Club in the country at developing players' - #1 at hindering their development by exposing them too early.
They're bragging about pissing millions away on bad players/ones we can't use and then having to rely on kids to play instead.
They'll still playing the line about investing £30m+. They must think we're all brain dead. It's been lumped into the clubs debt.
Isn't this same drivel they always spout.5 -
We will be lucky to get nil today with our 2 most effective players out.1

Would love to see an official break down of the £33m+ 'invested' - posted by CARD
Let the customers and football world decide whether it was £33m+ well spent ... or should I say borrowed1 -

Magennis has made it!!6

Botaka might as well go back to Leeds. He is being treated poorly. Should be starting.
Note the Slade legacy of 3 centre backs on the bench lives on.12 -
As I just posted on Twitter, this looks to be the exact statement they gave Sky's commentary team last weekend... although they're including Roland's birthday surprise as a 35th fan meeting and they've lost £5m down the back of the sofa since then it seems.Redmidland said:Here are some responses from twitter on the article from BBC London Sport-:

Same old, same old. Slow midfield. 3 centre backs on bench. No RCC or Aribo. Utter shit1

Still no Texeira! What is going on?1

First bit of positive news for a couple of days.0

Apparently Solly misses out with a "knee complaint".... or is it actually a "Congo Chris Complaint" that's seen him sent to the naughty step?0

Shouldn't even be on the bench if he's never gonna play. Just wasting a space.MattTeesHeader said:Still no Texeira! What is going on?

Could it a risk to play magennis?1

Can't wait for Nugent to be gone and for the remainders of the Slade regime to be over. Let's hope when he goes we never play Jacko on the left side of midfield in a 4-4-2 again.
It's been mooted that Slade lost the dressing room. The best I can hope for is that the "shackles will be off" now that he gone. But frankly, I can't quite see it.2 -
Here we go again then...no Slade but looks like his team. Keep an eye on CO'L "coaching" on the sidelines. Time will tell if the likes of Gary Caldwell will be happy to have a regime coach within his ranks.0

Will probably break down in the first five minutes....."we made a mistake in bringing Josh back too soon - he's now out for the rest of the season"....Redmidland said:Magennis has made it!!

Our reputation as the 'seventh most productive club in the country'. Seriously, what are they on? Firstly, by what objective measure have they come to this?Because I'm pretty sure I could find a meaningless measure for most clubs that we could use to demonstrate the same.ForeverAddickted said:

Secondly, either you are the seventh most productive club in the country (by a consistently applied objective measure) or you're not, no-one has a reputation as the 'seventh most productive club in the country'.
Thirdly, it is shit like this statement that drives a further wedge between supporters and the club. Full of spin, half truths and bullshit.7
