Getting a good feeling

Hopefully you are right. Last Saturday was such a high and I hope we can follow it up with a win on this Saturday.
However, two wins on the trot is miles away from getting our Charlton back.12 -
I do love the feeling of being mid table in League One. That was the Charlton I started supporting back in the 70s. Only then we called it Division Three. Exciting times.54

With the announcement regarding the ' 'Unity Protest' I have a good feeling. My confidence is high that Roly will rethink his football ownership agenda and then maybe we can get back the Charlton that we all desire.7

Hoorah! 'Very mediocre' has become 'Mediocre'.
Keep digging, folks. The hole is your own work, and is very deep. Heave, ho!
Division Threeeeee. Wheeeeee!
Keep scrubbing those empty seats.5 -
The euphoria around the valley on Saturday after we hold the mighty Fleetwood to a draw and extend our unbeaten run in division three to six games might just finish me off. This excitement is unbearable.25

Interesting that so many are kind of assuming that we'll just sweep Fleetwood aside after the win at Bolton. They have by far the best form in the division, and beat Sheffield United comprehensively away a fortnight ago.
Here's hoping Robinson can add to his 3 wins in 11 games, because it'll be a huge test.3 -
What ever you are taking, I want some as well.Addick4ever said:We do seem to have turned a corner and after that great fighting perfomance last week, the future is looking good. KR certainly has them in a better position than we've been for a while, the confidence must be sky high. A win on Saturday will be tremendance and with many players coming back from injuries ect., and with the new signings, one can only feel excited for the rest of the season. I for one is feeling the Charlton we lost could be slowly slowly returning.

Beating Bolton was a good result but at the end of the day we are still a mid table league one club.
My optimism returns when Douchbag sells up until then we are papering over the cracks4 -

And I is feeling good too.5 -

Burnley, 1947
Sunderland, 1998
Fleetwood, 2017?
Dare we dream the tremendence dream?
Exciting times indeed. I don't know whether KR has them all "in a better position". Lookman and Fox maybe, probably not all of them though.17 -
Do you sit next to @ray traecy ?4

I love the fact the beating Fleetwood at home will be a "huge" win! That shows you how far away we are from our Charlton returning as the OP puts it.3

Why do people still keep getting positive under this regime. All that's happened is they haven't sacked a manager in a few months.
There must be a term for this when your mind convinces you that it's okay becuase it's not been as bad as it could.

I kind of agree with the opening poster (from a footballing side). You can certainly see a scenario where we have a positive run into the end of the season.
The mitigating things against that is given our resource compared to others, we should never be playing catch up in the first place (but that is a May - Dec frustration), and secondly that so much more could have been done in January to support that positive run.
But a fit squad, gentle run of fixtures, and a bit of luck could easily see us get some momentum.
One way or another, Saturday's game is being perceived as pivotal and whatever result is going to generate an exaggerated reaction imo6 -
So, a positive thread gets a good kicking with the same old and tired comments.
And where did this piss take of "mighty Fleetwood" come from? Bigger clubs than us have been in this division and there are a lot of so called smaller clubs than us in higher divisions. Fleetwood are in this division and are higher in it than us. We should respect that first and foremost. It is no good wallowing in the past. It is what it is. Get on with it.
Addict4life is right. The team is looking better and there is more positivity about. Get behind the team and Robbo and who knows, maybe we will be playing in a better league soon.19 -
The first eleven and subs bench currently should be good enough to get us out of this division, but injuries, suspension and tiredness means we'll probably miss out.....AFKABartram said:I kind of agree with the opening poster (from a footballing side).

But I'm not behind the regime that has brought about a position whereby "there are a lot of so called smaller clubs than us in higher divisions".
Yes, the team is looking as if it might not be as abysmal as it has been. But the club continues to get worse.
I'll be delighted if we win against Fleetwood on Saturday. But not nearly as delighted as I will be when Roland Duchatalet sells his stake in Charlton.
Get behind CARD. And who knows, maybe we'll have some pride back. Whoever we're playing.5 -
But I am behind CARD!! I want Roland out. I agree with CARD that we support the team and not the regime. I except that some wish to go there own way and boycott as well. What is tedious is that every slightest positive comment is met with a re-gurgetation of anti regime comments.
Can we not just take it as read that we want Rolly out, have a sensible discussion, and leave the regime stuff for the appropriate threads?10 -

We're playing a team in a play-off position, a position that there's a slim chance of us reaching.The fact that it's in the third division means nothing to me: that's the division we're in.I don't care that 'expectation is the mother of disappointment'.
I'm going to the football tomorrow, and I'm excited.

Robo has turned things around a bit. Let's be honest, we are (or at least were) in a tailspin. Karel Fraeye, not so much Riga, and then again Russel Slade set us on the road down to where we are now. And all that because we are run by buffoons and idiots. I'm a bit surprised given our last few years that people are so excited by the Bolton result. It was a fantastic achievement against tremendous odds and the team and the manager deserve all the praise they recieved. But it was only one win.
Even if we go on and scrape into the play offs, and then win them, we are only back where we were when RD pitched up, with a league one squad and new seats. I'll be overjoyed if we go up, but I'd like to keep my feet on the ground just now. We may well hae turned a corner but it's too son in my opinión to get over excited.
I think it's a bit sad that a happy thread attracts so many 'down in the mouth' gits like me, and I admit I am sneakily looking forward to saturday hoping for a win. But we have fallen a long long way, and I'm not the dreamer I was a few years ago. Here's hoping KR and the boys make me eat my words and we turn in another grandstand performance saturday.6 -
Of course like all Charlton fans I want a win on Saturday, they are my team. Unfortunately they are not my club anymore.3

It's the reverse of when we were 4th in the Premiership and Parker left. Expectations were, in the main, unrealistically high, we could only go downwards whether Parker stayed or not. This season we were a handful of points off the bottom 4 in League 1 at one stage, so expectations were low. The win at Bolton was a great result but it's in danger of being inflated too far. As others have said, a home to Fleetwood being deemed a 'biggie' shows how far we have fallen. To re-phrase, @T.C.E, our team may (but only may) have turned the corner. Whether our club has turned the corner will need a lot more evidence before I, for one, will be convinced.1

Absolutely. But the thread is about do we have a good feeling that we have turned a corner.Chizz said:

I think we have. I do not think it was age alone that made us so pedestrian, I think our teams both last season and this did not buy into the club and put in the commitment we would want to see. We all may have a fair idea why this would have been.
This is why I think I and others put a lot of stock into the Bolton result. We should have lost. Last season and up to Xmas, I think we would have done. Something has changed for the better.
The biggest change for me is I am looking forward to a match; and with some optimism of enjoying it - win or not.2 -
That's another plus @Redrobo . The football under Slade was painfull - an afront to the senses, and it's been ongoing. Suddenly we may have a team who can pass, attack and defend, not just hoof it up front and hope. As I said, I'm not seeing any corners turned at the moment, but if the swallows turn into a summer, imagine having a Charlton team to watch who can play and win !!!!0

We're a bit better and thats about it. Hopefully we can get a settled side and carve out a few results.
The trouble is if we do improve then players will just be sold.....0 -

Could not agree more with RedRobbo my sentiments exactly COYR1
