On KR's comments on Ajose lack of impact, has he played in his preferred position once for him? Either played out wide or in the number 10 role. Play him as a striker with a target man - he may or may not have an impact but nothing else is working. I find it hard to believe he's unfitet than a striker who has not played for 2 years (who after being touted as a no 9 we are now told is more of a midfielder than a striker).
Charlton boss Karl Robinson explains difficulty in changing 4-2-3-1 formation
Charlton boss Karl Robinson says he can’t start with two strikers because they are not fit enough.
Addicks fans have been pleading with Robinson to change his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation.
Michal Zyro and Nicky Ajose have been starved of first-team football this season, leaving the Liverpudlian with Josh Magennis as his only viable number nine option.
He stuck to his 4-2-3-1 line-up in the defeat to Blackpool on Tuesday evening, the club’s third reverse in a row.
Robinson said: “People talk about playing two up front, but we don't really have two strikers fit enough to start. Zyro is more of a winger than a striker.
“You’d love to change it to chase a game with ten or 15 minutes to go, but people will say ‘bring Nicky on’ but we’ve brought Nicky on and not much has changed. He still needs to get fit.
“He’s barely played any football this season. Tactically, I very rarely get many things wrong in relation to that.
11 goal thriller, Reeves to score all 6, Lennon for all theirs. Robinson to claim Reeves has finally come good and that we again for the second time this season finally, have our Charlton back.
no idea what the score will be tomorrow, fingers crossed for a win as my 2 girls are mascots and are gonna be mental with excitement when I finally tell them tomorrow morning and give them their new home kits, shame it's not the first game under the new owners

This or 352 for me, chance of it happening? 0.0000000000001% open your eyes Robbo
I have seen my last first team game, this season. I will be watching the U23s, U18s and Welling United for the rest of the Season. Also next season, if RD is still here. Season ticket has been chucked in the green paper recycling bin.
Me & Golfie Jnr will be there. I understand why some fans boycott & why some fans have just had enough, but to us its like a drug. You've got to get your fix & saturday afternoon we're off to see our dealer. Yes we know he's now selling us very dodgy gear and probably mixed it with all sorts of rubish but we are hooked. This time though it will be different - he's told us so & assured us that it is the best gear around......

You know its bad when the diehard supporters are now boycotting. Enjoy the time off :P love your updates for the youngsters so glad you are still going to them games.
Not going - couldn’t care less what the score is to be honest which is a horrible feeling . We’ll lose 3-1
I’m going to watch Biggleswade Town away to Tiverton ( Southern Premier League) , in Devon - instead.
Very sad if true. Fans deserting the club in droves. We may never recover from that, because even with new owners, if you've lost your love for the club it may never come back. And what to say new owners with turn things around, even with some cash and a new manager. I suspect fans don't have the patience for the long haul, not like they used to anyway, so let's hope for a rapid improvement in the (any) new era.
Charlton is the club I love and always will so I will be back . I’m not boycotting but I just don’t want to put me and my sons in miserable situations. You wouldn’t in any other walk of like if you could help it. At the moment I’m fed up with takeover nonsense ( I’m convinced he doesn’t want to sell ) and the fact that we have a team with supposedly quality players but a manager who cannot get them to perform. @RedChaser summed it up pretty well.
My youngest son doesn't want to go on Saturday. He said 'How come was always play really badly and lose when I go?'. You can only say 'it's character building so many times'. He's missed three wins and two draws on the road, so hoping he'll come to an away game soon. Actually.... may not be such a good idea at the moment.
Any chance of building a siege mentality at The Valley? Seems unlikely.
2-1
Spin him this one after the inevitable loss on Saturday...

I really hate feeling this way about a Club I have supported for 56 years. Thanks for your comments about the youngsters. I still get much enjoyment from watching future Charlton players. These players are properly coached by Euell, Baltacha and Avory. Coaches that have been at Charlton for a long time and know what they are doing. Pity the same can't be said for the first team Manager.
Probably going to go. Expect us to help Fleetwood survive, so expecting 1-1 or 0-1. No idea on formation, expectations at rock bottom.
IIRC Fleetwood are a team who try to play football, so might have an OK game even if the result won't go our way. I'm certainly done with any games against northern lump-kickers as I get no enjoyment out of them
The writing’s been on the wall for ages. We’re not going up, the manager’s not motivated, the players aren’t motivated, the fans aren’t motivated. This has got another defeat written all over it

As for forecast, I cannot be bothered, which is unlike me, I will probably do the match day thread, but I am really losing interest for this season
Did he really say he rarely gets it tactically wrong? Is he for real? Saying that Zyro is more of a winger isn't a good thing, he knew we needed an out and out striker in Jan FFS.
Manager John Sheridan has steadied the ship since he took over, securing two draws from his two matches after a run of eight defeats in all competitions.

Guarantee they will win
Whatever happens tomorrow, we'll always have St Andrews 1987

suckerspastures new with a bulge in his wallet.11 goal thriller, Reeves to score all 6, Lennon for all theirs. Robinson to claim Reeves has finally come good and that we again for the second time this season finally, have our Charlton back.
The odds on this happening are probably greater than a Nicky Ajose hat-trick.
hoping for a 2-0 win
2-1 & the season starts here.

Not that it matters if players are not putting in 100%. But after losing so many games I would be picking two strikers and packing midfield.
IIRC Fleetwood are a team who try to play football, so might have an OK game even if the result won't go our way. I'm certainly done with any games against northern lump-kickers as I get no enjoyment out of them
Golfie is right, it's a drug. Anyone know a good rehab clinic?
2-0 Charlton false dawn again
Guarantee they will win
