  • The only thing that would cheer me up at present is for Knobinson to go - however poor the players are they're capable of better than this.
    Wtf do they do all week in training? MK Dons looked like Barcelona compared to our rabble.
    If we do get relegated with the current owners and KR remains in charge that will effectively be the end of it.
    F***ing angry that something so important to me has been destroyed....

    I genuinely think the reason the players didn't bother tonight was because of waving their match fee. I hope I'm wrong :( but I've got little to reassure myself with right now

    Great thoughts on last night debacle. I couldn't believe how many people got up and left at 2-0. I said a couple of years ago we are going to be the next Portsmouth /luton, people laughed but they aren't now.

    My family are from Stockport and County have managed to drop all the way to the National League North. Tbh their fanbase is probably more optimistic than ours at present.

    Most of our players won't be here next season and I think a lot of them have given up.

    If that was the case sheepie it would be an absolute disgrace to show that level of contempt and disrespect towards the act of giving the game fees to PC Palmer's family, and they should be fecking shot, let alone dropped from the squad.

    Worryingly I don't think I'm alone in thinking it, last night was just awful from the team

    First game since the early joint protest with Coventry supporters and only went to pay my respects to PC Keith Palmer.

    Met up with a few policemen outside the ground, shoook their hands, but couldn't say too much intelligable due the level of emotion within me.

    The supporters did Keith proud; an inpeccable one minutes silence and plenty of support during the first half for Keith from the North Bank joined in by supporters throughout the ground.

    The first half wase dire, we couldn't hang on to the ball for any length of time and I cant recall us creating a single chance in the first half. It was no surprise when MK Dons scored; it must surely have been one of their easiest games of the season.

    I now realise that my passion has been sapped, or more to the point totally drained. There is no longer any Charlton fire left in my belly, no feeling of emotional attachment. My feeling during the game was one of neutrality. I couldn't be bothered to clap, chant or rant; just a feeling of numbness and a self question, "what am I doing here".

    Half time I went for my customary pee, carried on walking, right outside of the ground. The young lady, upon opening the gate for me to exit said "you wont be able to come back in"; I just couldn't be bothered to give her a sarcastic response.

    On my 85 miles drive home, I had no inclination to check the score on my radio, such is my disaffection with my club.

    I have been a enthusiastic CARD foot soldier at all protests, handing out flying pigs, beach balls, taxis, alternative match programmes etc. I have no inclination to continue. My white flag has been waived

    Don't wave the white flag mate.

    They can be beaten. And will be beaten. And then you, me and many like us can get our club back and we can all go back to what we have enjoyed doing for many years.

    You should have said to her - 'Thanks - It is re-assuring to know that if I am stupid enough to try to come back in, I will be saved from myself.'

    Anyone like me, who went to the last home game and watched how we dominated Bradford for 90 mins (a team that has been up there all season) must be thinking WTF has happened. Last night was as inept as you could possibly get. Any pattern of team play was totalling absent. 11 individuals who sort of looked like they were trying but the outcome makes you wonder??
    As a team it has become the norm to only play decent for either the 1st or 2nd half but last night we managed 90 mins of utter dross and on a night which meant so much. Unfathomable

    Disgusting

    I came in to write this exact word - and it was the first remark!

    Something very very wrong last night.

    I am going to clutch at the largest of straws now. Perhaps the players know there is a takeover going through and the players know they will all be out on their ear next season. As does Robbo. That's the only explanation for the digusting performance of last night - either that or we are just rudderless lumps of dog shit

    I'm not sure that the two are mutually exclusive...

    100% this. Said exactly the samething to my oldman as we were leaving.

    Met up with OzAddick for our first game of the season. What a shocker. The whole team looked like they had never met each other before. There didnt look to be any sort of plan, certainly no cohesion and no leadership either on the field or from off it. God knows what they do in "training" and I use that word lightly as they look like a bunch of guys scraped together from the crowd pre-match. The club is obviously rotten to the core and we need a Chris Powell type clear out at the end of the season with a team built around Holmes. The rest just arent even up to league 2 standard from last nights evidence.

    As for Gobinson? is he really the man to rebuild us? I personally think from his tenure at the club he is just one to add to a long list of employees stealing a living.

    I finally got back to my Motorhome at 1 am. At the end of the train journey I had a sobering 2 mile walk. Upon reflection I think this team would have been dead and buried if it wasnt for Slade and Nugent. I fear for us under the current situation as I still think things can get worse.

    Agreed. Yes the owners have been a disaster...but there's no way that group of players should have played that badly, not just individually, but also tactically.

    The starting 11 wasn't stuffed with loanees, only 2 Rudd and DaSilva, and they were by no means the worst players out there
    It wasn't full of spreadsheet style foreign signings or loads of youngsters.

    There's something seriously wrong though with the tactics and commitment though. I think back to Nugent or even Craig Shakespeare at Leicester, sometimes it doesn't take much to get the same bunch of players playing better, just a simple plan that everyone buys into and more commitment.

    To me KR is floundering, constantly changing personnel from match to match, saying different and contradictory things in each interview, I think the players have lost faith in him.

    Same thought occurred to me when I got home and compared how I felt walking through the door after the Bradford game. That night I actually felt as if I'd been entertained for the first time in ages - last night I was lurching between anger/disbelief/frustration

    Met up with a few lads on Monday and we were dyed in the wool, S/T holders for years. We have more years supporting the Addicks than is healthy.

    Just bloody realised. We did not mention Charlton once...

    Just want this lot gone.

    I thought that too. Any neutral certainly would have, so why shouldn't we?

    Apropos of nothing yesterday afternoon we were 50-1 to be relegated with Bet 365. Today we are 28-1.

    Is there anyone out there who feels Robinson should be given more time? The only ones not calling for his head seem to be those hoping him remaining is a sign Roland is about to sell ...

    Robinson is tactically inept, players out of position and formation that doesn't work.

    And to the spotty little prick in a pink stone island jumper standing at the back of the north upper giving it billy big bollox trying to have an argument with a bloke in the next bloke, do fuck off. You were scared of the stewards at half time because you were smoking

    we realy have sunk to an all time low someone in our lot wearing stone island and probably fake
    Pink as well.....

  • Nice coverage of last night's tribute to PC Palmer in the Mail.

    I know it's not a universally loved paper on here but they do give us a lot of good coverage.

    I sit in the East stand in what will be a £500 ticket next season. I have sat in that seat for 20 years. My son gave me his season ticket last week and said i cant take no more. Last night was the first home game he missed since 1998. Two seasons ago he did every game that season, home and away.

    He doesn't want a ticket next season and he's just walked away. Last night i was talking to those about me who have sat there for years, and some wont renew next year.

    Every home game is 160 mile round trip. I have been a season ticket holder for the same period and on and off previously, even having one when i lived in Scotland in the 80's, travelling down friday night on the bus and going back Saturday night. Valley gold member since 88.

    This poisonous regime is ripping the heart out of our club and its fans, and the quicker they move out the better. Take some of those that call themselves footballers on show last night with you.

    I am in the same boat as you but it's only a 15 mile round trip. Sat in my seat since the East Stand was opened and feel sick at the thought of renewing with these idiots in charge especially when it is the 25th anniversary. Seriously having doubts about giving £500 for the privilege of being shat on.

    It's all been said already. Last night was a rare visit by me to The Valley these days. I went with my son Robert (who is not on here) and his verdict was that the side that got us relegated from the Championship was worse! I think they are certainly on a par. 4 minutes added time? We wouldn't have scored in 400 minutes! |Yet every time they came anywhere near our goal I felt they could've scored. Funny old game, isn't it?
