    Fortune 82nd Minute - Yes, I was there. We absolutely bossed the game in the 1st Half and were denied a penalty and an Alfie May onside goal. Relegation sides are incapable of even winning one half. The timing of the second goal is what undid us, as we know we have a flakey defence. Hopefully two of them will be replaced this evening by the new recruits. If they are match fit we should see a marked improvement. 
    0 wins in 9, 1 in 12 in all comps, all down to bad luck. Oh, and that we have played top, top teams.

    Ok I started the fergie comment…but someone asked if any manager turned it around after a poor run….not comparing MA to the great one….hope that’s been put to bed….but as Curbs has just said he brought in 7 new players and a new asst coach and it would be crazy to get rid of now but needs to win this one

    Large Addick - who said anything about bad luck? It's been obvious, even under Holden, that there are glaring weaknesses in the team, many of which should be fixed by the new intake. At least MA has had backing in the window, so that he can start building and playing HIS team, rather than having to play someone else's substandard hand me downs.

    A win tonight is irrelevant. He’s not good enough to sustain it.

    A win tonight just postpones the inevitable.

    Fanbase is so divided we had people saying it was acceptable when he cupped his ears to the crowd and now the same with the inflammatory 'to my face' remark.

    The bloke is the manager of a league one football club. He has to be more professional.

    Tony Webster Shed - What crisis? For me a crisis is being cut adrift at the bottom of the table, 10 points from safety. I've seen 6 relegation sides over the decades of watching Charlton. All of them had the kiss of death about them. This side doesn't even come close and I'm confident that once the new players are fully integrated into the team that this will turn around and sharply. It may even start this evening. 
    Never in the third division though

    Haven’t been since his appointment, won’t come back until he’s gone. Awful decision to give him control. 
    Been going for 40 odd years but can’t attend whilst this is going on

    Guy behind me sticking up for him. I pointed out the no win in ten, 1 in 12, no clean sheets in 15, need I go on mate. All I got was 'Er'?

    The players look lost defensively 
    He's been here long enough to have at least got us comfortably top half
    This is embarrassing to say the least
    How anybody can settle for this is beyond daft

    I would also say that even with a change of manager that could easily happen.
    May getting very animated recently may suggest there is disharmony in the camp.
    If that is the case it will be very hard for the next manager to rectify things.
    The club is rotten to the core and I fear this could be the season that leads us to play 4th division football.

    I think the disharmony is with the manager.

    It's going to be game over for Michael Appleton.

    Motionless on the touchline.

    Right at the end of stoppage time. #cafc

    Should never have been hired. 

    Serious questions should be asked at how he was appointed and who vouched for him. 
    Scott can go with him.

    And you really think this isn't a team in huge danger of relegation ?

    We're genuinely gonna get relegated if he stays. He has to go tonight.

    I feel sorry for him but his game management is absolutely woeful! He should never have took Watson off! Why wasn’t Assimwe on the bench? We didn’t have a recognised full back on the bench even though our formation is based on wing backs. 

    Shocking! Just get him gone before it’s too late. Send Andy Scott with him!

    You have to admire this in a perverse way, we have been depressingly crap before but this makes those other times look rosy.
