  • We have scored 17 goals in our last 18 matches. Even Palace have scored 22 in their last 18.
  • To be fair, I’ve often wondered how Charlton seem to make scoring from a corner so difficult, and now I know, lots of practice...
    Studies looking at years worth of corner kicks overwhelming show that they work so rarely that more goals could be scored simply by passing to the nearest player and attacking from there.

    Good chances being the key word there. Robinson looks at the shot count and almost every game says we weren't clinical enough. How many chances do we really get where you think the player shouldn't miss?

    According to someone on the Facebook group Robinson offered to resign during the week.

    Who did he offer it to?

    Not backing Doucher up... I have also been told by a journalist works for another club - not on here that the talk about Robbo to Oxford is coming from both Oxford sources and Robbo's agent.

    Could have some legs in it.

    Tomorrow would be a day too soon

    Do you mean wouldn't be a day too soon or do you feel he has to stay another day?

    I assume the study focused solely on Charlton Athletic's corners.
  • I have no reputation. At least as far as I know! Other than the fact I used to be a bit of a slow runner :lol: #goldenslug

    Maybe
  • And Fosu is our best player. What we need to do is play Ajose off Magennis Zyro - He has pace and needs to time his runs for knocked on balls.
    Sorted.

  • Just had a quick trawl around the Oxford forums and there’s nothing there to suggest Robinson is even being considered.

    Any reason you're using people's real names?

    You tell me Gordon.
    Journo I asked if he had heard anything about Robbo joining Oxford and he said - I quote
    "There has been a lot of agent talk and noise coming out of Oxford, not heard anything concrete though."


    Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if the rumour has at least an essence of truth in it, also wouldn't be surprised if it comes to nothing. As most rumours around our club seem to these days!


    *Edit* I assumed that he was referring to Robinson's agent on reading it again could be incorrect.

    We rarely score from corners; why not? A couple of thoughts:

    1) A corner should always clear their 1st man, if it's intended as long/far post.

    2) Where's our movement and strategies?
    Example: Ball to the near post, header flicked on across the goalmouth, the late runner storms in at the back post unmarked.
    Wrongfoots defenders every time. We never see Charlton do anything like it these days.

    An occasional short corner, to a tricky ball player to drive into the box and draw defenders to him to create space in the box and cause
    defensive panic - hey, might even win a rare penalty.

    Or driven low into a crowded box, often very difficult to defend, resulting in ricochets and loose balls.
    Again defenders wrongfooted.

    A bit of variety keeps the oppo guessing. It often seems that Bauer's physical presence is the only tactic we have.
    My God, I sound like Viewfinder :smile:

    We did that loads, only not deliberately.
    We need someone on the near post for every corner, to flick on anything underhit. Been saying it all season, Karl.

    No that would be to monitor the effects of passing to a the nearest defender and starting from there.

  • Thought I heard somewhere that Sven was taking the Oxford job.

  • More Facebook rumours - apparently Robinson wants out and has been applying for other jobs.
  • Robinson knows he is out as soon as Duchatelet goes and if Duchatelet can't find a buyer, who would want in? I blame Robbo for being too stuck in his ways but I don't blame him for looking for the escape hatch. I am getting to the point where I think we should still try to annoy Duchatelet after he sells, he is a complete and utter something that I am not allowed to say on here!

    I see Robinson has been to the Roger Johnson school of fan engagement.
  • Who did he offer it to?
    The tea lady.
  • I feel sorry for any club that gets him - He's like a lower league Alan Pardew.

    More like Mike Bassett imo.
