Dont forget though, the squad Parkinson had was threadbare (even that season) and never has the opportunity to sign a goalscorer like BWP... So Parky had gotten us into a damn good position and shouldnt have been sacked
In turn Powell came in and did a good job yet was hamstrung by the quality of player at Charlton at the time so no surprise we fell away - Southend on the other hand have strong Premier League experience within their ranks so dont see him having the same sort of nose dive
Don't forget, even though Parky did miracles with the squad we had, he "had to go", "had no plan B", and "is one of the worst managers we've ever had".

I always assumed the reason things quickly went sour in the second half of the 10/11 season is that most the squad knew their Charlton careers would be over in the summer.

I think with many that this was the case, it would’ve been a known thing at the time how we were planning on having an overhaul on the playing side. The only thing is that they didn’t bother fighting for their future at the club and became demotivated, but that is no fault of CP.
We saw how incredible that full season was with Powell and nothing anyone says can ever take that away or how that season made me as a Charlton fan feel.

No, the season we lost in the play offs - he should have been sacked. The players and wagebill we had that season was way too good for that division.

The Leeds team that beat Bristol Rovers on the final day included: Bradley Johnson, Jermaine Beckford, Lucciano Becchio, Johnny Howson, Robert Snodgrass, Max gradel
Norwich had: Chris Martin, Wes Hoolahan, Simon Lappin, Fraser Forster, Darel Russell
Huddersfield had: Lee Peltier, Gary Roberts, Lee Novak, Jordan Rhodes, Danny Drinkwater, Anthony Pilkington
Southampton had: Jason Puncheon, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Dean Hammond, Michail Antonio, Adam Lallana, Ricky Lambert
The Charlton team on the final day: Darren Randolph Frazer Richardson Migel Llera Jose Semedo Christian Dailly Gary Borrowdale Nicky Bailey Thierry Racon Lloyd Sam Dean Burton David Mooney.
It doesn't even compare.
Supaclive, I might go as far as to say that you've posted the most unreasonable comment I've ever seen on CharltonLife. Talk about unreasonable expectations.
We won the first four games under Powell in 2011 - however, we hadn't been doing that badly under Parkinson, despite the stumbles over the Christmas period, whereas Southend had been pretty poor prior to his arrival. I'd say his results at Southend are more of an achievement.
At risk of steering the thread off course as much as I love Powell sacking Parkinson for was was harsh.
I'm pleased he has gone on to have success elsewhere. Actually I had Bolton for the draw yesterday and they were only team to let me down for 400 nicker second rate manager Ha.

Great post. Norwich also had Grant Holt of course. We did amazingly considering we spent most of the season without a goalscorer.

Quite amazing to look back at the quality of player in League One that season. Also illustrates how poor a division it is this year.

Let's see where those players are in 6-8 years before making that judgement shall we?
The wage bill that Parkinson had the season he was sacked was a joke
We'd sold Jonjo Shelvey that Summer and struggled to get Bally Smart in on Non-Contract Terms (You'd expect that sort of Contract in the Non-League, not at League One level) so he could play against Shrewsbury in the League Cup

Parkinson's squad was very poor and when CP took over he couldn't do much with it. Difficult times.....
Great to see that Damian Matthew has joined up with Chris Powell again at SUFC. Two top guys.
I spoke to Damian at the U23 game against Bristol City and asked him if this would happen, he was in a grinning 'maybe' mood, and anyway I wished him all the best. Two top guys is absolutely right.
