Shocked by the sacking of Dowie, suggested perhaps his character or the way he went about things wasn't right for Charlton.
In our current position, play should go out the window, results are all that matter. Lots of teams not far aware points wise, comforting that two or three others could easily get sucked in. A week ago he would of said we were going down, now thinks there still remains a glimmer of hope, but we desperately need to put a run together, and become tougher to beat.
Next set of fixtures are tough, we must look to tighten up the defence and stay solid, maybe pick up draws, and then look to be more expansive and attacking in the Fulham, Villa games that follow.
Kins back at the club is a bit of a strange one, but he has Charlton blood running through his veins and that appears the road the club want to go down at present. In light of what happened today, maybe Pardew would of been a good appointment (though he suggested as a buffer between Reed and Robson !!). Fans will be very happy with Kins back, a true Charlton legend and a leader. Reed will be looking to pass on experience to him.
Thought it was a strange decision to take off Andy Reid at Spurs, has been getting better with games under his belt, may of picked up a slight injury.
Lloyd Sam is apparently thought of quite highly, though we will be aware that when a side is under pressure its important you don't expose them too much. He'll want the ball, and has pace, and Charlton will always be a club that will give young players a chance.
JFH hasn't kicked in, can understand why we wanted him. Though he has lost half a yard, he does offer goals and that hasn't happened so far. Perhaps he has had to change his game a bit too much and would of been better suited to the Bent role.
Faye seemed a strange buy, too similar to say Kish and Holland. If we are going to spend in the window then a striker is important as you always need goals to get yourself out the bottom, and maybe a winger to offer more supply.
Would be a very strange decision if Bent moved on in January. Unless we already have a ready made replacement lined up, it would almost be like signing our own death warrant.

I thought the fans were always complaining that Charlton WOULDN'T play the young players???
This season COULD see that change.
Reid had an hamstring strain.
I thought it was a good decision. Already 4 or 5 down at the time the game was over. We have important games coming up and Andy is so important for those. If we'd have left him on and he'd picked up an injury then everyone would've slagged Les off for leaving him on when we could have negated that risk and also given him a rest. Wonder if Carl still gets dead legs all the time.
