Clubs know we are mushy soft, as hard as a piece of wet karzi paper. But this isnt a new thing is it ? In Eamon Dunphys book he basically says Nillwall knew that we had no gonads when they played us and they would just role us over. Its been happening for years and years.Of course there have been times when we could mix it and had the players who couldnt be bullied.Rufus,Brown,Robinson,Kinsella maybe wrong to look atthat set because they were part of one of our best set of players ever.
But being softy nicy is the Charlton way ? to be very very very very nice ? i mean even the fact that we debate on here that some songs chanted have swear words in !! FFS swear words at footie !! or that people standing up is a debate ---------- every week , thats every week you can see on TV crowds where they are all standing . Yet dear old CAFC its a sin !
We have become the cartoon of what we are called ------------ trainspotters.
There is of course a fine line between having an edge and being a nasty twat but we have truely become pretty sad.

if he hadn't half bottled the challenge he wouldn't have been hurt so badly.
made of glass that boy...far to weak
Not saying I want us to become a bunch of thugs on the pitch but a bit more desire to win the ball and put yourself about isn't too much to ask for?
Last 3 seasons we've seen teams out muscle us. Now we have some decent ball players but we can't mix it up when things get rough.
Yeah mate, we seem to be a nice little community club: "we do a lodda good work for charidy". Tired of reading about it on our site. We are supposed to be a bloody football club FIRSTLY and foremostly. I feel like: If as much effort went into preparing the TEAM as it did off-field stuff we might be better prepared come kick-off!
I am getting sick of the lack of fight at this club and the ethos of being told to go and support Millwall or Palace if I don't like it. Not only have our board, manager and team got no balls, but it feels like our fanbase is lacking any spirit either, particularly in the West stand where I sit with my family. You start singing there and get looked at like your'e a trouble maker or something.
I'm sure if it was a case of smelling sorts he would of come back on.
did you see the lump coming out of his head? it was huge. made me feel sick.
couldnt agree more
After that crack on the head, you could see in his eyes Mooney looked concussed.
Smelling salts doesn't sort out concussion.
Absolutely. My housemate's a medic and even he recoiled a little
What a wimp/made of glass/only a little bump
If he was PROPER CHARLTON he would have rolled up his sleeves and been up for the next header. FACT.
come on now way is it that big!!
The Millwall game before Xmas was another, more painful, example. We were 2-0 down to that pile of cack after 30mins because the players ran out on the pitch frightened. With the quality in our team we should have murdered them, and the way we succumbed to their onslaught in the last 30mins when they had 10 MEN but still came back for a point was nothing short of a piss-take.
Reputation shouldn't count for very much, I'm not advocating we should go to the likes of Bristol Rovers and turn them over, but having a reputation as we do does give certain teams an edge over us, sometimes it's very hard to accept.
I have been optimistic all season, but enough is enough. We are a pushover ON and OFF the pitch. No wonder everyone calls us softies / trainspotters: It's true and I can't defend our club anymore.
We keep defending mediocrity saying it will be alright.
IT IS NOT alright and I've had enough of this BS.
You are gonna stuff us at The Den, no maul us!
What's the matter with you lot.Just the kind of southern softies GH was talking about.
Anyway, aren't the majority of your big games to come all at home? Colchester, Leeds, and Norwich? At this point of the season, i'd rather be playing them at home than having to go there and get points. We've got Huddersfield, Colchester, MK Dons, and Leeds all away. Plus a scrap away to Tramere which we're guaranteed to balls-up!
Still on for a Charlton/Millwall play-off. Lovely.
On current form I would rather shag Jade Goody.
You just expect some pride, passion and endeavour and we are being sold short (and have been for a while).
