My Idea

queensland_addick

Yesterday we were murdered by an out of form, mid table mediocre team. This was supposed to be one of our "cup finals" and yet we didn't even come close to getting a draw.
I'm now convinced that there are serious problems in the dressing room. Until these problems are identified and solved, we have no chance of climbing the table.
I feel that it's time for a senior, respected person at the club to undertake an investigation by means of a completely confidential questionnaire distributed amongst the players. The players need to be asked where they feel the problems lie, who they consider to be the best players at the club and to pick their first 11.
The information then needs to be collated and an action plan formulated based on the findings. Keith Peacock would be the ideal man to undertake the job as the players would feel that they could trust him to not divulge who said what.

A players survey? Why?
Your manager must be allowed to manage in any field. If you start to undermine that basic principal then there is no real point in that manager hanging about.
On second thoughts, maybe you're onto something there!

We need a strategic review!

The results of the survey should be the basis of a strategic review which when complete should be fed into the matrix which in turn should provide the answer to the question.

Anyone know if Stephen Hawking is an Addick? He could come in handy when it comes to the number crunching.

We might find out that there is a whopping black hole in the middle of our defence...

Hawking actually worked on the 'No-Hair Theorem' (I kid you not) so he'd also have no problem understanding the PR spin emanating from the boardroom.

peacock,get him in now ffs

Hawkin ? he could PLAY for us ! get him on loan now

I said on another thread we should beg Peacock or Gritt to take over to the end of the season, get rid of all loan players, don't bother signing anyone else. If we're going to go down at least let it be Charlton players and staff that take us down...it'll hurt them and us and make us all more determined to get back up, I don't want to go down with a bunch of players that couldn't give two sh*ts whether we stay up or not.

I also suggested Peacock after Pardew at last got the elbow but with Kins to do the running about and shouting at people. Still feel the same.

Gritt recovered that Brighton side there is probably no one better qualified than him, clear till end of season, no one expects a miracle.

We need to get rid of this useless dic(head and get a proper manager in... one who has been there and done it, curbs, kinnear, bobby robson, someone whos been about and is not wet behind the ears and CANNOT command amy respect....

the players want to get out of this but they need leadership....

he almost did it .... against Derby, if we had one he may have got the respect and you never know confidence may have come back, etc..

but it didnt so now, the players need help , and the manager cant help them... the manager doesnt know how to deal with this, last time the hull board put him out of his misery and the next bloke took them to the prem....

HE IS NO GOOD!

I said this a while back but I spoke to Rob Elliot's brother on the way out of the Derby game and he told me that there has been mass disruption on the training ground with a lot of in-fighting and different cliques across the squad forming. I agree with you in respect that our problem isn't just confidence and bad form, its a lot deeper than that.

Of course the bloke I spoke to could of made that up but who knows!

a proper manager will ge this hands around that sort of thing....

break up the cliches , get the TEAM back together, single out the main protaganist, drop him and take the power back.....

instead hes hoped for the best, and week in week out sends us out there like lambs to the slaughter....

Doesn't sound surprising. It's not that the players have no talent at all, if they find the right club when they leave, they'll do ok.

We'll go down and have to rebuild, using our young players, the few that remain here, and free transfers. Hopefully players that see Charlton as a big step up (like Iwelumo, McLeod, Varney etc), but can handle the pressure and expectations (unlike Varney and many of them still here).
