There really does not seem to be any fight left in this team we love, the thing I really hate is seeing my son every Saturday start the day full of hope, that today is the day we win, and week after week this club of ours lets him down, he is 12 has been a Charlton fan all his life, and loves nothing better than to go and watch his beloved team week in week out, he has just started taking a schoolmate, who hails from a family of ardent Millwall fans, who is slowly coming round to being a Charlton fan, but week after week my lad comes home crushed, today he sat watching Sky Sports hopng and praying that at last we would get something, at full time he was almost in tears. I would pay good money for the players and staff who got us in to the awful position we are in to see that look on his face, to realise the passion he has for this club and too see how much they have let him down. A bit of passion is what we need, I think it is too late to save ourselves, but please put up a damn fight, for my son's sake!

Sadly though I suspect Mark Kinsella is probably the only person involved on the football side who would give a toss.
Len - Do you believe that above comment is fair on the young side that won the FA Cup tie at Norwich, i.e. Randolph, Shelvey, Wright and Basey and the life long Addick fan, Elliott? Imagine their reactions when they read such a flippant comment like this one quoted above....

Those young lads did us proud, my rage is aimed at our regular first team who lack passion, and I am sure Len's is as well.
Tell him it's a rite of passage and that at least he is a real fan who actually goes to watch his team unlike the plastic Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs etc fans that take the mick
Fair point.
To clarify I am referring to "established" first teamers such as they are.
When my kids were that age in the mid to late 80s, we were battling relegaton every season from the old div one - battling being the word. And we stayed up because the team had the guts and the passion and the fight that this lot just do not have.
I've told this story before, but I'll tell it again. My eldest son, when he was probably a bit younger than your lad, around 9-10 , used to write Lennie these long letters almost every other week, telling him what players he thought we should buy and what formation/tactics we should play in the next game.
And Lennie patiently used to reply to every single letter, point by point. I loved him for that. I can't imagine anyone at Charlton taking that sort of trouble today.
My daughter gets the same to some extent but she sticks with it.
They usually go quiet when she asks them how many games have they seen so far this season.

Yeah my son does that, little rascal fights his corner!
Don't take this the wrong way uncle but I'm glad to hear that.
As I tried to clarify above in response to Silent Addick it wasn't Jonjo's generation I was referring to.
Quite - this goes for all of us...
