Unless we see a miracle over the last few games of the season we will be playing championship football again next season. With that reality I guess we have to ask questions as to what went wrong and what we do to make it work next season. I have certainly heard much critisism of the manager even to the point of some suggesting he ought to go. We are all very disapointed with the season I think its fair to say but what do cafc do about it. I personally have faith that Alan Pardew is the right man and will get it right. He carried out major surgery on the squad last close season and I think on the whole we have a quality group of players. Why that quality hasn`t gelled into a team I really can`t understand. We do need to address the lack of playmaker but that aside I think this squad will be good enough to challenge strongly next year. I don`t usually bet on football but I might just stick a few bob on us next season. Is my view blind optimism ? What do you think should happen ?

The latter Bexleyred, the latter
I guess there's a few of us on here that I've been round the block a few times.
Over the years, we've seen some good times - and we've seen times when things have gone far more horribly wrong than what we are seeing today.
There's a good enough foundation here - the Board, stadium, crowd numbers, management & players - but it's evident the whole club is in transition and the job only half done.
We've just got to kick on and together we'll see the good times again.
That could change everything.
And put back in the players the self-belief & confidence that's gone missing.
We can moan all we like about how shit Gray has been or how crap Lita looks but the fact of the matter is a stiker is only as good as the chances created for him. Yeah they can do stuff themselves but our midfield has not been good enough end of. Gray was immense for Burnley up until we signed him and now we've made him look like a pub team player.
We are still in it we are due a run of wins and it will start next week. I am the ultimate rose tinted spectacles man and I don't care - as Oggy said we've seen some shit times and I was there for a lot of 'em.
Pardew must be given another season - changing him now would be daft.
KEEP THE FAITH - WE ARE CHARLTON
Brains......Pardew........brain tissue found in boots
Lungs.....Holland........no sign of any scarring although shreds of hay could be found

Kidneys.....loaned...........hoping to be brought back with new life
