    Curbs in tonight’s Charlton TV show: “top six would be a brilliant achievement but have to get at least top 10 to prove you’re serious to player targets for the following season”


    Couldn’t agree more Alan

    That’s a statement about how lame our transfer policy has been so far

    Oxford 22/23 19th place, 47 points
    Oxford 23/24 5th , 77 points, play off winners

    Ipswich 21/22 11th, 70 points
    Ipswich 22/23 2nd, 98 points

    Two examples of two sides having drastically different seasons the following year, and proof that you can turn it around in one season. 

    It's simply an excuse to say where we are now and needing to build etc. We are on 0 points, with 138 points to play for, and a transfer window still open to strengthen.

    We have been in this league far too long. Promotion would be a decent season, if not we need to just miss out and be well placed for next season. Anything else is not good enough IMO.
  • A single clean sheet... Also got to start small with expectations!!

    Not sure finishing outside the play-offs for a 5th consecutive season would show anyone that we're serious. 
  • Based on the signings to date I think top 10 might be achievable. I have not changed my view from a couple of weeks back that top six is unlikely without at least 3 additional signings, all of whom should be starters.

    If the club's position is that they need to move some players out before bringing in further additions, there is always the risk of a slow start to the season. Obviously the board and NJ know that, so it's down to them to solve that conundrum.

    I’d call it Eric, but that’s just me, I guess. 
  • Let’s get out of this league,it can’t come soon enough now,let’s hope NJ is the man & that he takes us up,so keep around the top 6-8 till Chrimbo then push it  on to consolidate play-offs then if we get lucky automatics…so play offs for me…next season Champions if we have NJ still with us…

    Cmon u Addicks…no disappointments please…🙌

    I thought kicking off at about 3 minutes past 3 every Saturday at the valley was annoying. 
    5.30 and 12.30 kick offs are taking it to a new level.

    I think we'll have a realistic view of our prospects by early October. By that point we'll be 10 games in and the new signings will have had ample opportunity to prove themselves. If we're not in the top 6 by that point I will be resigned to another season of managerial comings and going and mediocrity.

    I think a lot of what I want is a competitive team and spirit. I’d like to enjoy watching us play and not continually feel pissed off because of the lack of desire and commitment.

    While I don’t like losing, it feels easier to take, when we’ve given it a right go and it’s clear to see, that common adage, we’ve left everything out on the pitch.

    Play Offs would be great, promotion, dreamland.
    Never seen a lack of desire or commitment. Ever.
    I have seen a lack of ability (skill and decision making), organisation, and fear of making mistakes.

    How do others see 10th place but purchase of SL and Valley?

    True, but only one -sided stats/data.
    We also need to know how many teams failed after a  major squad churn.

    How about 10th place, buy the Valley and SL plus 4 times nominated Charlton Live win an award?
  • Decent season would be challenging for top six right till the wire. Successful would be gaining promotion. Fwiw I can’t see either playing out.

    I agree with the majority that top six is crucial, but I'd also like to be looking forward to seeing the football EVERY week, which was definitely not the case last season! Good football, playing with desire, plenty of shots (to quote Curbs) and some of the "dark arts" when the situation demands.
  • Why do people say “top 6”? You might as well finish 15th if you don’t win the lottery of the Play Offs.

    Promotion is a must for me.
  • Resign Bonne again and let him finish his unfinished business from the first and second spell.

    Top 6 - nothing less.

    Realistically I'd settle for play offs and improvement off the pitch as there is still a long way to go for both and if that goes OK promotion the following year

  • Promotion anything else is a bad season again.

    Curbishley is saying this with the fact he has not ploughed dough into the club.  He'd be singing a different tune otherwise.

    @clb74 is annoying as well.

    For me top 6 but not promoted via playoffs would be decent, that should be our minimum aim every season.

    1st: Excellent
    2nd: Very good
    3rd - 6th (promoted): Good
    3rd - 6th: (Not-promoted): Decent
    7th - 10th: Meh
    11th - 12th: Poor
    13th - 20th: Woeful
    21st - 24th: Catastrophically bad
    Pretty much this with the caveat of that this is one most competitive league one line ups we have seen so I think if say we finish 7th or 8th but have shown great improvement on last year and are least battling for top 6 then I wouldn't say that was meh really though :)

    Happy to just support the boys and girls, watch good, clean football and may the best team win.

    Too much emphasis on winning when it should be about enjoying the game, some nice food and time with friends.




    & hopefully lots of dancing  :#

    I would genuinely take promotion over world peace, I’d probably take world war three kicking off for an FA cup
