First and foremost to Northwich Victoria and their fans:
Your support was fantastic.
Your team thoroughly outplayed us.
3-0 would have been a more accurate reflection of the game.
You deserve to go on and make a lot of money from this cup run.
Your fans have been brilliantly good humoured and excellent in the build up.
Witton Albion are chite.
Now us.

PARKINSON WE KNOW YOU'RE A LOVELY BLOKE AND ALL THAT
BUT F*CK OFF

This kind of performance is NOT acceptable.
This is in no way meant to take the plaudits from Northwich, they were the better team and deserved to win.
Should Parky go after this game? I say no- we were poor and have been poor for a bit but hopefully this defeat can give everyone a kick up the arse and we can move on from here and get our early season form back, if we go up I am more than happy to forgive this result. I am still in the glass half full camp for now- give it another month though!!
How many free-kicks, corners and throws did they have which were aimed at their centre-back Herring? And what did we do to negate his threat? Nothing. So it was no surprise that he set up their goal.
Were it not for Randolph we'd have been two or three goals down at half-time and this was the player that Parkinson decided was not good enough to start last week.
Now to the important stuff:
What's changed HONESTLY since Charlton v Wycombe?
Well, the manager, again and again.
The board are employing and paying these managers, and still as fans we cling on to the glimmers of hope, when we know DEEP DOWN, that all the squads of UNMOTIVATED (apart from money) DISJOINTED TEAMS ruining the legacy of the Charlton shirt are really not that interested.
This has been a cancer that started a year or so before Curbishley left. That's one hell of a lot of games ago now.
What, get rid of Parkinson, and get the Board to appoint some other nonentity?
MURRAY OUT.
On the evidence of today....need i say more?
our players should hang their heads in shame over paid not enough effort
im going to get so much crap at work tomorrow thanks lads
So you wouldn't have appointed Pardew? And you wouldn't have given Parky the job afterwards? because most Charlton fans would have done both. Lazy and crazy to lay all that blame at Murray's door. In my opinion.
Did you not see the threads on here regarding that at the time???
Got it today:
In the Golden Lion,with Spanners & weasels............
That was the biggest problem for me. Burton needed a rest, McLeod can't play with Shelvey behind him (and isn't particularly good anyway) and McKenzie isn't fit.
That and the midfield, completely went missing, well below what they're capable of at their best.
No. I wouldn't have appointed Dowie.
It's only our 4th loss of the season....we're 2nd in the league (so the fact we've been shite 4 ages doesnt matter)....we don't do well in cups anyway....blah de blah. (oops sorry, forgot i'm not one of the rose tinted brigade). Not f*&$ing happy.
And get in who?
Exactly.
it's not actually that I get as angry as that watching a performance, having seen plenty of bad games over the decades I've been going. We showed absolutely no class, ambition, determination, skill, vision, tactical awareness or even BASIC ball control. I'm looking for an excuse not to blame Parky, as after all he wasn't out there, but as bad as the players were playing, he should be able to see what's going on and change it during the game and during the week. It's not happening is it?
The bloke has been associated with absolutely the worst couple of years I can remember following CAFC starting with not winning a game as caretaker, then a pathetic attempt at keeping us up (longest losing streak?) and now losing to non-League for the first time ever. One match I know, but one other teams in a similar position would have approached in a professional manner and won, easily or with a bit of a scrap.
I'm not the biggest believer in co-incidence and I fear now that Parky has used up every ounce of goodwill or start to the season generated for him and the next month is going to make or break our season and therefore possible long term future. Wednesday should be 'interesting'...
A goat.

and you would have given Parky the job after pardew christ you r deluded
They're true now, but some also like to be able to look ahead with the slightist optimism and there is nothing to suggest there is anything to be optimistic about. If you're only interested in the here and now then the points are rational. If you choose to look to the future aswell then they're not.
(although how 'we never do well in cups anyway' can ever be seen as a rational opinion escapes me).
I am optimistic that Steve Waggott goes in the next 24 hours.
I am optimistic that Izale Macloud goes in the next 24 hours.
I am optimistic that i will feel like buying a season ticket next season.
These are things to look forward to.
Yes, you can look to the future as well. But you can't make decisions based on things that haven't actually happened yet. You make decisions FOR the future, but they are always based on things in the present.
And that we never do well in cups is a perfectly rational opinion. And one you and I both share.
100% agree. They are professional players, paid a kings ransom to turn in a professional performance regardless of how many of us turn up to watch or otherwise. We should be more than capable of beating non-league sides (or at least looking like the pro's) in an empty stadium or a park pitch.
What an odd statement. Everyone continuously makes decisions on things that haven't happened yet for the future. Otherwise you'd never sack a manager who's team wins once in a while until you were actually relegated. Ok basing things solely on the present, we are playing very poorly and have been lucky not to lose recent games, not unlucky not to win them which to me is a big difference. so looking to the future or in the present things aren't as good as our league position says on paper.
And no i don't think not doing well in cups is a rational arguement, dunno where you got that idea from. It's an excuse and a pathetic one.
Right enough tit for tat otherwise we might as well start our own private thread :-)
I'd love to know what Kevin Nolan makes of it all.
I see what you mean, but managers are never sacked on potential failure - a manager who gets a team relegated would have done consistently poorly, so would be sacked earlier because of that. I'm just saying that we can't sack Parky when we are second in the league, regardless of how we are playing or how we THINK things might go.
But yes, we'll agree to disagree on this one
