Are we too focused on Charlton winning games and scoring goals?

Maybe as Charlton fans we should focus less on the team winning games and scoring goals - results aren't everything and perhaps we should focus on not being so critical. We can't win every game and does it really matter if we're not the best.
The Valley will be a very welcoming ground this season and I imagine most away fans will enjoy the visit.
I'm hoping we can make a game of it this Saturday and am quietly confident we might even score.

    without scoring goals and winning games the whole thing is pointless
    roly and katy don't get that obviously
    seems like their hitherto unique* brand of lunacy is contagious

    * by unique I mean one of a kind

    Fine sentiments, Hoofy. There is an argument* that says we are being far too negative about our current situation.












    *Not a f*cking argument I agree with in any way shape or form though!

    Absolutely. If you don't go you'll miss the joy of admiring our talented assets before they are sold to Webuyanyplayer.com.

    I assumed this post was some kind of sick joke. I mean, who needs goals when you're safe in the knowledge that the (few) away supporters are having a bloody good day?!

    Biggest pile of shit I've had to read today, including the various e-mails I've sent at work.

    I don't mind if we don't win - just so long as we try.
    The way the club is being run it's like we're not even doing enough to compete.

    Funny guy

    The valley will be fucking toxic if the players fart out a display like Saturday. Home fans are a million times more fickle than hose who have had even one experience of a proper turd of an away performance

    I mind if we don't win. That's the point of football. Score more goals than the other team. Win the game.

    I don't want to sound like an "I remember the days" merchant but we weren't very good when in the old 3rd Division in the 1970s.

    And whilst we weren't at one with the owners, those 5,000 or so that did turn up supported the team because we believed that they were, in the main, trying and were part of the Club too. We also had to offload talented youngsters such as Walsh and Elliott but did sign players who were committed to the cause - not short term signings on the cheap because they have a history of injuries or coming to or at the end of their playing days.

    One only has to compare the cost and subsequent careers with us of the home grown players like Reeves, Warman, Curtis, Shipperley, Peacock and cheap imports such as Hales, Flanagan, Horsfield, Powell, Robinson, Johns etc etc to the "here today, gone tomorrow" journeymen of today to recognise the difference.

    And yes I know that modern day football is different and that players move more. But the same rules still apply. Show enough effort and prove you're good enough and we will get behind you. But not if you look like you're getting money under false pretenses.

    The way things are going we could be the new recipient of the award for 'Worst Football Team in Britain' - at least this lot seemed to be trying

    I am assuming this thread is a wind-up? Surely? Support a club and don't worry about the result, the dire standards, the imploding structure, the hemorrhaging of support, because the vast numbers of visiting fans from some of the game's biggest clubs in League 1 will enjoy their time at the Valley.

    Scoring goals and winning is over rated.

    Losing means smaller crowds and a whole loads of seats to choose beween.

    So if I've got this football thing understood, if we don't score those goals and win those games, we get relegated to that dark place called league two. I must have it all wrong

    Well said, Benty. It always brightens up my day to see the happy smiling faces of the away fans as they celebrate giving us a pasting. In our last 2 games we have been the better team (Slade says so) and that's what counts. Never let it be said that Charlton are not the perfect hosts.

    Think you're confusing socialism with sarcasm, Nick.
